- both about child neglect and abuse.
- both to do with motherhood and childhood
- also both are psychological

Both explored married woman’s mind, and showed that no one should limit her on taking other roles other than being a wife or mother. They’ve tackled realistic problems many wives are experiencing, and both have deep subjects and dark tone. Red is focused on one story, while Saka no Tochuu no Ie has multiple characters intertwined by one story.

Both take a deep look at parenthood and have a dark theme. While not similar in storylines, the themes and genres are similar

Both are about trials in the courtroom to women accused of murdering their infants without considering the individual, social an other situations mothers are going through. Both narrate female suffering in an oppressive society

In "Women's Victory" Kinuyo Tanaka is a female lawyer. When Mitsuko Miura, an old school friend, is being tried for murder of her infant, she serves as her defending attorney. The prosecutor is her brother-in-law, Kappei Matsumoto, who put her fiancee in prison under the militarist government, and paid for her education. He is a cold and severe man, who espouses law on its own terms. Under the new swelling of democracy and liberalism, there are calls for his dismissal. If he can ride out the current moment, he hopes to be appointed a chief prosecutor. He asks, no, demands, that she throw the case. He claims that the law is an absolute in itself; yet he uses it and all means available to further his own interests. His arguments are straw man arguments, devoid of compassion or any humanity. Even though we do not hear the actual verdict, our sympathies are all with Miss Tanaka, and her victories outside the courtroom presage her inevitable victory within the well.

Despite the melodramatic underpinning of the case at hand, the real questions are the ones defining the direction of the post-war world in pitting the feudal values of “duty” and “womanliness” against a modernising liberality that prizes freedom and equality above hierarchy and obligation.
