In Japan, it’s perfectly fine to bring lunch made by your parents through high school — and we mean those
So with Japan’s graduation season approaching — February and March — many seniors have started sharing their last bento lunches on social media!
At first glance, it’s easy to think that the whole thing would be some sort of Best Bento Contest, but seeing how these students appreciate their parents’ efforts shows how genuine their gratitude is.

今日でお弁当最後、、
3年間毎日早起きしてキャラ弁を作ってくれたママ☺︎

キャラクターだけじゃなくてミニチュアとかイベントに合わせたお弁当とかオリジナリティ満載で 毎回ママの発想力とか創造性に感心させられてました😫😫

器用で優しいママが大好きです。
3年間ほんとにありがとう。 pic.twitter.com/MKmW8aRAkJ

Today was the last day of my mom waking me up and making my kyaraben for me.

They were always fully loaded with characters and miniatures or themed for school events, and I admired how expressive and creative she was.

I love my amazing, wonderful mother.
Thank you so much for these three years.

My mom usually just throws my bento together, but since today was my last one, we made it together last night.
I know it was a lot of work for her to make them for three years, but they were delicious every day.
My mom taught me so much… I’ll do my best even after I graduate.

There was a note from my mom in my final high school bento.
Mom, thank you so much for waking up early and making them for me every single day.

I was so moved by her letter.

I’ll still ask for your bento in the future, mom!

The note reads:

Dear Shun,

How’s your last bento?
It makes me a little sad to think I won’t make them for you anymore.

But if you ever want one again, I’ll still make it for you!
Make the most of the little time you have left in high school.

– Mom

Here’s one made by a dad!

Today was my last bento.
There were all of my favorite foods in it,
and it was so good, I loved it.
And a surprise? From my dad.
The first time I can remember ever getting a letter.
I was alone, so of course I cried lol.
Thanks for everything, dad.
