The Most Important Thing About Family — Reflections On Light Of My Lion
On How We’ll Always Be Together
INTRODUCTION
I first stumbled upon Light of My Lion last October during a quiet Saturday morning with my mom.
The story follows two brothers who live a quiet life, until one day, a mysterious child appears and changes everything.
That day, we just wanted to watch something light but instead, we found a gem whose weekly episode releases we earnestly anticipated.
The story’s message that it’s never too late to pursue something, and its gentle reminder that family ties remain strong amidst distance were just beautiful reminders to take to heart.
PLOT
After losing their parents in an accident, Hiroto becomes the caregiver for his younger autistic brother, Michito.
They live a peaceful, routine life where Hiroto drops Michito off at his art studio, heads to work, then comes back to bring his brother home.
One day, a boy named “Lion” appears in front of their house.
