After the Rain

恋は雨上がりのように

Akira Tachibana, a high school sprinter forced off the track by a foot injury, develops a sudden crush on Masami Kondou, the mild-mannered 45-year-old manager of the family restaurant where she takes a part-time job. Kondou, who once aspired to be a novelist, shelved that ambition years ago. As Akira pursues him with quiet determination, both begin circling back to what they gave up — she to running, he to writing.
