Synopsis

Akira Tachibana is a soft-spoken high school student who used to be a part of the track and field club but, due to an injury, she is no longer able to run as fast as she once could. Working part-time at a family restaurant as a recourse, she finds herself inexplicably falling in love with her manager, a divorced 45-year-old man with a young son.

Despite the age gap, Akira wholeheartedly embraces his mannerisms and kind nature, which is seen as spinelessness by the other employees, and little by little, the two begin to understand each other. Although unable to explain why exactly she is attracted to him, Akira believes that a concrete reason is not needed to truly love someone. On a rainy day, she decides to finally tell her manager about how she feels. But just how will he react?

After the Rain or "Koi wa Amaegari no You ni"

This anime spans on Redemption theme.
You can find many animes out there with the same premise but this manga somehow resonates deeply in me, I felt that the main character has already moved on from her past completely without anything withholding her back.

This manga (anime is incomplete) touches on a successful person with a deep love for something until one day she loses it abruptly. To be honest, the shock is real and shouldn't be seen lightly. The manga builds on how the main character musters her courage to pick back on something ...

What are we to do with ourselves, our lives, and our romances?
The biggest questions of our lives is really what we are suppose to do with them. A vague statement meant to be applied. In itself, its a common problem to deal with whether we are young or old. Just in different ways.

Story would have been better if it didn't try to be a romance.

The two main characters and how their struggles parallel each other, executed well. The side characters were completely necessary and had well-deserved scenes.

So what's the point of the alleged romance?

In the first place I think this story is guilty of "romance is the ultimate form of love," having this girl fall in love with her manager because he was nice to her, just to preach about how "you don't need a reason to fall in love," like romance is this great, transcendental thing. Uh yeah, there's the physical attraction aspect, and in ...
