Features in Anime/Manga : Mothers
(My first and special entry, in conjuction with the Mother's Day event this Sunday ^___^)
Some of the known Moms from anime/manga :
Trisha Elric Fullmetal Alchemist
Hinata Aki Keroro Gunso
Niwa Emiko D.N.Angel
Ezalia Joule Gundam SEED
Takamachi Momoko Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha
Honda Kyoko Fruits Basket
If you can think of anyone else, let everyone know...
The role of mothers is not really a popular feature in anime/manga, since a lot of anime/manga tend to have characters living on their own (away from their parents).
However in many cases, a mother is always pictured as a kind and gentle (sometimes can be a bit tough) parent who loves and cares her children very much.
So far I've never really seen any anime/manga about Moms. But I remembered one that's called Happy Lesson, it's about a high-school boy who lives with five of his school teachers that become his "mothers" at home. ^___^
