After the Rain
On Fuji TV
A tender, introspective romance between a young woman recovering from lost ambition and a middle-aged man rediscovering purpose, set in the quiet rhythms of a restaurant.
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.
