Haru. It’s a common name in Japanese anime. It can be either a boy or a girl, but it’s almost always used for a young character full turmoil that they overcome, gradually developing an inner confidence and a radiance of quiet strength. That’s because in Japanese “Haru” means “Spring”.
Today, on the first full day of Spring in Japan and across the northern hemisphere the tragedy and anxiety threatens to consume us through our diet of news. It may not seem particularly fitting for the season of life, but in many ways it is exactly what Spring is all about.
