1st day of the Manga Advent Calendar of 2016

Hello, Welcome to the 1st day of the Manga Advent Calendar of 2016 and today we will be looking into the dark horse of the season, “March Comes in like a Lion”. With an anime adaptation coming out at the moment I was thinking to highlight where this came from and also draw attention to the important themes that are covered in this manga.

 

The basic premise is the tale is about Rei Kiriyama is a 17-year-old boy who is living alone and begins creating connections with the three Kawamoto sisters: Akari, Hinata, and Momo. He searches for connections with friends and his growth as a person. This deals with heavy themes such as depression and presents it in a format that people could understand through the use of imagery such as sketch like deigns which means that its better experienced rather than told about the story.The story is very well thought out and its worth a read as its fulfilling to understand that it’s not only me who feels crummy at times, we all need to live and grow as people through our lives and that’s the main take away from this manga.Down below is the trailer for the anime if you are looking for something solid to watch at the moment.

I’m also going to tell you something about myself each day, for day one I will tell you about my favourite anime childhood shows.Which for me was Sailor Moon, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh and the choice for tomorrow which is a classic magical girl show,have a guess in the comments below on what I'm doing tomorrow and see if you are right.

I will see you all tomorrow guys
