After the Rain or "Koi wa Amaegari no You ni"
This anime is touches mainly on the Redemption theme
You can find many animes out there with the same premise but this manga somehow resonates deep in me, i really felt that the main character has already move 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 losing it abruptly. To be honest, the shock is real and shouldn't be seen lightly.
The manga builds on how the main character mustering her courage to pick on back on ... something which she 'hates' and fears now with the help of goodly people she met in her life.
I really like the story for i see myself in the main character. Everyone in his or her life will face setbacks and resilience can be torn apart sometimes. You can ended not eating or sleeping well because you're at lost of your own identity for losing something which defines you, especially when you're younger at age, facing your first major setback and thinking it's over.

This manga has the perfect ending: the mangaka gave us the most logical reason why she choose brave up again, and that's how i got back on my feet too, the same reason in the manga.

If you enjoyed this, I would recommend:
Watashitachi no shiawase na jikan or Our Happy Hours.
I sold my life for 10,000 yen a year.
Cat Street.

Some time ago I started watching the anime adaptation of this, but somehow it didn't land. I don't know whether I just wasn't in the mood or what, but I wrote it off as uninteresting. Years passed, and I thought to give it another go; well, it totally won my heart. I like age-gap stories quite a bit, and this is a lovely, mature, and perhaps slightly bittersweet take on it.

The main characters are all very well fleshed out, with their own struggles and motivations. Their interactions and building relationships never feel unnatural, and most of all, they're likeable which isn't necessarily a given.

I ... would recommend this to anyone who enjoys age-gape romance but wants to read about a more down-to-earth approach. I would also recommend reading the manga rather than watching the anime, not because the anime is bad, but because the adaptation is incomplete and it has an anime og ending, which while it isn't necessarily bad, takes something away from the way the mangaka wrote the story.

It has become one of my favorite mangas. It´s a story that leaves your heart soft, it deals with wounds that are difficult to heal, dreams, overcoming barriers and prejudices, leaving aside all the clichés of the genre.

I love works that make me think, and it has come into my life at the exact moment.

Many of us long for the feeling of when the heart speeds up and slows down, and it shows that this is not a matter of age, that when we talk about love, everything flows in a different way. Love doesn´t bind or suffocate, love must let you fly like a ... swallow.

What stands out in this work is not only the romance, but the overcoming and evolution of the protagonists and the rest of the characters. It´s a beautiful work, with a captivating plot, with touches of humor, very good and real.

The manga tells us about first love, the struggle to get what we want, the fear of moving forward without knowing where to go, the problems we find ourselves at different moments in our lives, fear, maturity, friendship or heartbreak.

The story goes at its own pace, slowly but surely, with an adult romance, well spun, and above all realistic. As you progress, the plot improves, having great depth and complexity.

Akira got injured so she had to stop running and that's where it started to rain, but someone would help him understand that rain as well as stop it. An independent, strong girl. I think she is a fantastic character with a very good development, one of my favorite female characters.

I love Kondo, he seems to me a wonderful man, and a spectacular character; It represents maturity, the feeling of emptiness, but it will rethink your life.

A pure, sincere bond is formed between them and it will go on in crescendo. They complement each other and help each other.
I also liked the rest of the characters a lot. All with their development and contribution to history.

The drawing is magnificent, in each vignette the feelings are perfectly transmitted.
