Both deal with characters who find something they need (a reason to walk, how to live, etc.) from someone else. They both do this in a mature and sensible way despite the potential taboo that comes from dealing with age gap relationships/friendships. The characters feel grounded and real, and takle serious issues in Japanese culture. While My Boy isn't as romantic as Garden of Words (Thats actually a good thing) it still packs enough emotion that even though it will most likely end bittersweet, you will want to see it through anyway.  

Romance between adults who are connected through shoemaking.
