Kaasan Mom's Life

In these 6 hilarious shorts, Mainichi Kaasan shows us that from registering kids for pre-school to a crazy family trip to the beach, it's no easy job being a mom!

Mom is a cartoonist and she has a deadline to make today. Despite this, she makes breakfast for the kids, takes them to school, and ends up volunteering to help draw the poster for the Parents' Bazaar Day. Tomorrow, is Bunji's birthday and he ends up getting sesame salt…

In these next shorts, mom is shocked that Bunji has poor hiragana recognition. In different efforts, she finally decides to help him improve but sometimes gets a bit impatient. Fumi absolutely loves batman and throws her batman figurine out when she discovers he has a girlfriend. Mom has promised to take Bunji and Fumi to the park this Sunday but her body is so tired that Bunji and Fumi decide to…

Mom worries that she doesn’t bring anything to the school’s bazaar, Bunji cries since he doesn’t get to buy a toy he wants, Bunji plays in the mud at the park washing away the dirt in an area meant for pets, and mom reminisces about the past.

We learn about how Mom and Dad met in a jungle in Thailand, they go to a ramen shop with their kids, and dad makes Fumi promise to never leave and stay with him forever.

We follow the family as we find out that Mom was raised in a small fishing village in Kochi, Fumi works her manipulative ways to get what she wants at times but ruins her new dress in the next short, and finally Dad, who works as a cameraman, one day returns home and sees Bunji who he hasn’t seen in a long time.
