After the Rain
恋は雨上がりのように
A former track star finds love and a new purpose in life after meeting a divorced father at his restaurant. Their unlikely connection blossoms into a beautiful romance.
Akira Tachibana was once the ace of a track club, but an injury forced her to quell her passion for sports. Masami Kondou, a divorced father, had ambitions of being a writer and now manages a restaurant, where Akira works. It is the intersection of Akira and Masami’s seemingly disconnected lives that makes each of them reconsider and redefine everything about themselves. (Source: Sentai Filmworks)
