the point of charaben (character + bento) is they're handmade and they look pro as hell.

it's a big thing in japan.
random japanese mom posting charaben while talking about her kids:
@gintamacountry Do you know if the kids actually like them? I feel like even in elementary school this would have been an embarrassing thing because my classmates generally mocked the whole competitive suburban mom thing. I feel like taking these to school would make you seem ultra sheltered.
