Another good one for those that like a realistic age gap story

Will write a more extensive review later but good points:

0) The age gap is acknowledged and taken seriously!! (You would be shocked how many supposed age gap stories don't even bother with it. I feel like there should be two types of age gap stories: one where there is simply a difference in years and no one cares and another where the age gap is actually a part of the story).

1) Characters act their age and grow and learn and adapt

2) Characters look their age (again, so many age gap stories where the guy is supposed to be middle aged but looks like a mid-twenties bishie...)

3) Distinct and cute personalities on both leads

Lovely story steeped in balance and parallels

As Kondo (male MC) said, you get different takeouts reading the same book at different ages. The most striking feature of this work is the amount of planning that goes into story and how every detail works towards the conclusion from almost the get go if you paid attention. Each of the supporting character got used up to accentuate the mains, many tragically.

I'm of the opinion that a little is lost when a work is translated, and framing the work in culture and language context is very important for a nuanced appreciation. Much of the angst from the show/manga comes from the beginning, to translate Koi to Love is inevitable yet somewhat misleading. It closer to yearning, the emotions without the bond, romance that's still young in expression. Thus it applies to Tachibana's crush, which itself is a self-made safe space as she tries hide from the ramifications of her physical injury.

In fact much of the manga don't deal with the development of the 'love story', but the various forces that pushes and pulls the 2 mains in this treasured encounter when both are lost. The thread they were bind to is one of love, but not THAT love, which is on a parallel thread misplaced in time and space.

I kind of wish the last couple of chapters reshuffled, with chapter 82 shortened and actually wraps up on the whimsical day dreams of each of the respective mains in Chapter 76 and 77. Those were master strokes in story telling from different perspectives and perfect places to leave on a bittersweet note. It could've alleviated the unfortunate shipper war that occurred with the formulaic chapter 82.

This series is one of the best romance manga I have read yet, and probably it would retain the spot for a long time. However romance is not really the main point of the story, just an integral part of it. It is more about growth, in the form of accepting what you want to do in life, and working towards it. Atleast I get that impression. The bonding between the 2 main characters is pretty great, we can feel them getting closer throughout the series.


The art is also cool, and enhances the chill soothing vibe of the manga. Mangas like these are better read slow, as they don't contain any earth shattering twists and turns and give more time to make you immerse in the setting and characters. There are a lot of moments in the manga where I like to go back again, as the moments are that iconic despite everything being so slow paced and chill due to the art and the writing. I have to commend the translators too as they did an epic job.

The last volume where there is a parallel universe going on where the MC and Kondo are in a high school at the same age is pretty great. The conclusion was nice too. It completed the character arc of Akira and you feel happy for her growth.


If there is anything I'd like to complain about, it's that I wish Kondo had gotten some more respect or success throughout the series. He is mostly just lamenting about how he has gotten old and doesn't deserve all the niceties that come with youth.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Akira gets success again when she restarts her running career, but Kondo doesn't get any win. I guess you could say that's not the point of the series, but I feel like my boi was done wrong(a bit).
Also the side characters were pretty forgettable except Akira's work buddy. It's not that they were bad, just that you don't necessarily wish to see them again and again.


As per the title, rain is given a new meaning in the manga, I won't be able to properly express it in words, but it's beautiful, just like the series.

The best read in 2020 and beyond

I actually read this manga first in 2018 when it was nearing its end but still not finished. I remember myself anxiously Googling the next chapters in Chinese because I couldn’t wait for English translation any longer. However the Chinese translation was also not yet completed! And then, several months after, I went to Japan and - I clearly remember that moment - I rushed to nearest Manga shop and I was “reading” the manga’s ending right next to cashier, asking him to translate the text for me (poor soul). That was beautiful!
Finally, now in 2020 I am able to read it fully in English and reflect on what I felt back then. Only one thing left to say: I love this story and characters very much!

One of the best there is and ever will be

Please don't doubt my high praise (but it's okay to be a little hesitant because you haven't tried it yourself): this is and will remain one of the best works ever written on personal life, work-in-progress, growth and love.

Throughout, it stays true with its genres and demographic. It provides clarity and resolution even when I think there might be certain dramatic cliché, there aren't.

More on the romance: if you have ever feel frustrated or swept away by some strong age-gap stories, this manga will clear out your heart and mind (like the last panel of a blue sky).

More on personal progress and growth: it never shies away from inner struggles and conflicts, despite being subtle. It is focused and full of positivities. Because it's life (and mostly these people are okay-doing middle class), you'll find a way forward.

It is such a feel good story! The art is consistent and impeccable through out. The author has another manga out based on the location Kowlon, Hong Kong. Thus far, it pales in comparison to this work, especially the intentions, the message and the thoroughness of delivery. (But maybe they differ by intentions. So if you enjoy both, good for you.)

Hope you guys will enjoy this as much as I do!

Banzai to author-san, to the translation team. This is one of the deserving award winners in the history of manga awards, ha!

The way Mayuzuki Jun handled the premise of this story, it was executed amazingly! The art is amazing and unique. The story explores passion of interests and realism (to the extent that a manga can) as well as making the story and characters loveable and unforgettable.

I’ve been reading this manga but it stops short in Volune 8 episode 58. I haven’t been able to find any more English versions of this manga and I’m getting really worried. I absolutely adore Koi wa Ameagari no You ni and I want to read more of it. Someone please light my way on where I can find and updated version of this. Thank you!

Realistic Characters

Has a realistic feel to it (at least as realistic as these kinds of manga can get). Like the main character has more depth to her than meets the eye and the manager isn’t a saint. Often times, I feel these types of manga go for the male lead as being extremely pure and noble. But the manager isn’t completely that. Noble, yes. Pure, no. I appreciate that reality.

Age gap is one of my most sought after manga, but I feel like people who don't particularly care about it would still enjoy this.

The art style is great but the cover on this page initially turned me off. It looked too freaking sparkly and chipper- not at all like what the heroine is like. I wish manga would take more risks on portraying the covers better. Thank god I read a few reviews and decided to read it anyway.

The heroine is cool and stable, but she still feels human. She has bouts of depression, cheerfulness, and is very honest. No beating around the bush for her which is AMAZING. There's vulnerability in being honest, so I admire her very much for this.

The male lead is NOT a "27 year old hottie that looks 17 and acts 17" (though I am reading a manga that has this exact premise and I'm loving it because it's also a great comedy.) He's 45, a pushover, but honest in his own way. He KNOWS he doesn't have much to offer or have ambition, but he is kind and honest. My heart clenches for them both.

The story moves at a wonderful pace. It doesn't take 50 chapters to get her to confess. The things that happen along the way and AFTER her feelings are out in the open are... realistic. Realistic but with quirky, fun things also thrown in. It's such a good manga. I've only read up to Ch 51 but there is a lot left untranslated I'm looking forward to. I know I'm going to cry when it's over, and rearead it a hundred times.

I have never seen a live action adaption from a manga because I cringe at stuff like that... but my heart is weak against this manga. I'm seriously considering watching it, man.
