Koi wa Ameagari no You ni (Love is Like After the Rain)
Akira Tachibana(17) used to be the ace of a track club, but gave up running due to her injury. Masami Kondo(45) is a manager at a family restaurant called Garden, where Akira works. This story is set in a seaside town, and depicts a girl who stopped at a cross-point in her youth, and a man who reached a turning point of life. Everybody wants that moment where they get fraught with great emotions.

Watch it on Amazon

The manga was nominated for the 9th Manga Taisho Award.

Milk's on them.


quote:

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?

I like the manga and I liked the first episode. Character designs are really nostalgic and A+

OP is good and the manager is moe.

I wish Tachibana would dress like this though

ok finally watched the episode and that was great :3:

really captured the slightly melancholy feeling of the early part of the manga, which contrasts nicely with what a goof Kondo can be and awkwardness of their interactions. that imagery of the broken hurdle early on and all the focus on Akira's ankles leading up to the reveal of her injury was really well-done.

Kondo's dad-magic trick :3: :3: :3:

e: : also I appreciated that it didn't slip any fanservice in right at the end with akira undressing, I mean I guess seeing a hint of bra strap could be fanservicey and she was undressing but imo it stayed tasteful which is in keeping with the manga; seinen manga with a big focus on high school girls can go unpleasantly skeevy and this one never has so I'm glad the show seems to be holding to that

I wanted to like the manga more than I did, but the pacing and feel just kinda didn't rub me the right way. I only read the first two or three chapters, so I might try again.

The production on this, though, is so AMAZING. I don't know how I feel about the age gap but Akira and Captain Goto are portrayed with a lot of white space in terms of her train of thought. It allows us as viewers to try to understand them as people, they just feel more human-ish. Lots of loaded gazes from Akira.

So good.

I enjoy this manga and the show seems to capture the feel.

Age gaps like this usually turn me off completely, but there's something benign about the manager's characterisation that makes this seem ok.

I love how weird Tachibana is.

Got around to the second episode. Tachibana is too adorable and Kongo is too much of a goofball to hate anything about this show. It's sort of like Ancient Magus Bride where the premise keeps you questioning it even though there isn't much to complain about in the end.
