I was gonna make a joke about how it's weird that wrestlers and pornstars can both make careers out of gay sex but it's weird that people aren't constantly assuming the pornstars aren't gay and then I remembered that they literally are people do that all the fucking time constantly like

Yui Hatano and Hibiki Otsuki are two of the most prolific successful JAV stars of all time and it takes like 4 seconds looking at either of their social medias to find out they spend like 5 days a week together minimum and go on all of their vacations together and like there's documented video evidence of them having insane crazy gay sex with each other across literally dozens if not hundreds of titles. And people will be like "they're best friends :)" Like if one of them was a man people would just call them married, it's fucking insane. Yui Nagase and Ichika Matsumoto, same boat, when Yui retired Ichika produced or directed all like 10 of her retirement road releases and fucked her in half of them and people will be like "so cute that they're besties, they even have a youtube channel together ^-^" I just. Like okay yeah nvm I guess I'm not surprised people assume all wrestlers are straight when the sex is only communicated through violence. That's a whole extra step most people ig aren't even close to ready for

Diabolik Lovers (ディアボリックラヴァーズ, Hepburn: Diaborikku Ravāzu) is a Japanese visual novel franchise by Rejet.

An anime adaptation was first announced at a 2013 event called the "Rejet Fes 2013 Viva La Revolution". During the "Otomate Party 2013" event later that year, it was announced that the adaptation would be directed by Atsushi Matsumoto and produced by the Zexcs studio.

Diabolik Lovers (ディアボリックラヴァーズ Diaborikku Ravāzu), abbreviated as DiaLover, is a Japanese anime television series directed by Shinobu Tagashira and produced by the animation studio Zexcs.

Diabolik Lovers More,Blood (ディアボリックラヴァーズ モア、ブラッド Diaborikku Ravāzu Moa,Buraddo) is the second season of the DiaLover anime series which takes its title from the second otome game of the same name, Diabolik Lovers MORE,BLOOD.

However, the second season is not a direct sequel to the first season, but a spin-off based on the second game of the franchise.

Plot

First season

Yui is a kind and gentle seventeen-year-old second year high school student who lived a normal and peaceful life, until her father moved overseas for work.

“Not wanting her to be alone” , he sends her to live with an old friend and his six sons. When she arrives at their mansion, she discovers that they are vampires.

Only to be informed that there is a different, much darker reason she was sent to them. While she optimistically accepts her situation, she unravels mysteries of the Sakamakis' past and her own.

Second Season

After living with the Sakamaki's for a month, Yui begins to have strange dreams and apparitions regarding a mysterious purple haired woman. Her fate takes a turn after she gets involved in an unexplainable fiery car accident with the Sakamaki's.

This incident heralds four new vampire brothers who suddenly appear and abduct Yui for their own purposes.

[bleachbleachbleach]

Hi, guys! I was wondering, what are your favourite Bleach intros and why? Genuinely curious about this

@whipplefilter: I'm a fake fan and don't have strong attachments to any of the Bleach music, but looking back through my off-the-top-of-my-head faves, they all have two things in common! They all have some kind of engagement with urban environments, and they all prominently feature Matsumoto. Which, like, very on brand of me, albeit unconsciously!

Top Fave: Ranbu No Melody - SID

AKA what we here at B3 call "the marble OP." I know it's the hougyoku, whatever. I'm into the experimental, subject-less first third of this OP, though, which is just a series of urban environmental shots, shown first in full and then with an overlay reminiscent of a film negative. The intensity/gravity/bananasness of having moved and replaced Karakura with Fake Karakura is minimized in the story itself, but I feel like it comes roaring in this OP, and I love it.

And then we have this GORGEOUS shot of Matsumoto (crying over Ichimaru's dead body), which is beautifully rendered and also makes my heart hurt for her. And I think it's cool that it plays forwards and also judders backwards--there's a destabilzation of time/affect happening that intrigues.

Also, I actually do like the song itself! The refrain as the imagery changes from urban stills to character motion makes my heart flutter.

2nd Place: Rolling Star - YUI

Nothing but wins here, honestly. More Matsumoto, and Ichimaru's representative ghost holding her in a strangling embrace. (Her hair also seems a bit shorter than usual, so either it's caught up in the way his body is pressing against her back, or it's from an earlier point in canon--either reading delights me.)

Then we have Ichigo manspreading in a hipster loft/cafe and the Advance Team in a different industrial hipster cafe, with RENJI AND HIS HAT, and it's all gold. (Not pictured but imminently entering the third screenshot is Matsumoto, just to note the Matsumoto quotient required of all my fave OPs.)

3rd Place: Shoujo S - SCANDAL

I mostly like this one because it's the "Dancing Girls OP," and I especially love Orihime and Rukia dancing their duet, because the physicality of their bodies and movements brings out the ways they contrast and complement each other.

But the "Shinigami in Random Urban Settings" motif isn't to be slept on here, either! LOOK, IT'S SASAKIBE POSING WITH SOMEONE'S LAUNDRY. YAMAMOTO WITH A VENDING MACHINE.

✨✨✨ AND KIRA MOODILY SHARING AN ALLEYWAY WITH SOMEONE'S 2005 HONDA ACCORD. ✨✨✨

----------------------------------------------------------

@ippoddity Ngl I am not good at remembering OPs off the top of my head and I also don’t have any strong attachments to any of them, because I never watched Bleach while it was airing. I also don’t know the names of any of these songs, I only know them by nicknames LOL.

For some reason, my top favs also align pretty closely with my co-blogger’s. I’ve been sitting here just trying to bring OPs to mind, and the "Marble OP" is one of the most memorable. I’ll also always remember “Hitsugaya Cafe”, because we spent a long time trying to color match Renji’s hat. (whipple: I could not for the life of me find the additional version where actual color balancing was involved, though you'd think it'd be a reblog of that post or at least appear in the archive around the same time. Choosing to believe Tumblr deleted it out of Hatgate censorship!!) “Dancing Girls” will always be a fav, because I think this was one of the first times I tried to make a GIF? And it was simply because I love everyone in their girl group era.

chAngE - miwa

I also have to give a shoutout to this song, because it is one of the few OPs that I know how it goes off the top of my head. The animation is also gorgeous and has a lot of fun action shots!

STARS - w.o.d

I will admit that I didn’t really like the song itself when it was first introduced, but it really grew on me over time. Plus, I really love the animation. It’s such a fun modern AU. I mean, who can resist Ichigo wielding a double-necked guitar like he’s going to bludgeon someone with it?

Otome game characters who share the same English VAs.

I’ve been seeing otome game fans making posts about otome games sharing the same voice actors, but I wanted to make a post regarding their dub actors. These come from their anime adaptations, with the major dubbing companies being Sentai Filmworks and Funimation/Crunchyroll.

Cw: Illich Guardiola was blacklisted for attempting to marry his 16 year old student. He’ll be mentioned, but I do not support him in the slightest.

I want to be Your Koi Fish

Fanfiction based on: "Baki" by Itagaki Keisuke

>28<

Apart from them and the Arena boss, there were also two Orochi, Master Shibukawa, Shinogi brothers, and Baki along with Kozue, staring at his wife strangely, who also glared at the girl from time to time. There was also Retsu Kaioh, quite fit for Master Kenpo with a wooden prosthetic leg. Hanabi was delighted to lead them along her paths straight to the Tori Gate on the hill between forest and water, where he again saw dojo and home of his wife's family. At the entrance again, they met a black-haired woman in men's clothes, sweeping the sidewalk. The classroom was open, sister-in-law had to take a break for a while because the students were still stubbornly training. Or maybe it was not she who conducted the classes? Between them he noticed two clearly smaller individuals, dark-haired boys of quite strong build. They seemed oddly familiar to him, though he had certainly never seen them. Katsumi stepped forward as energetically as usual, smiling warmly at Hanabi. Guess he still didn't understand that he had no chance.

- Good morning Miss! - he told the woman in front of the house. - We're looking for a local master.

- You're looking at him right now. - she replied calmly, pausing her work and setting the broom upright. - Soga Yui, Black Fox, master of this dojo.

Black...? The question of his wife's Yang was even more confusing. Don't think he should really worry about it. At the same time, was increasingly admitting she was right - they were...reversals. It was enough to look into the eyes of sister-in-law to find out about it. Cold as rock, unshakable. She greeted the others with a nod, then glanced at Matsumoto.

- What's this "miserable"? - she asked bluntly.

- It's not nice... - Kozue growled.

- Girl...do you see that board? - mistress replied, pointing to a block of wood, at least 15 cm thick, placed in a frame standing near the entrance to the school. - I'll stop calling you "miserable" if you can punch a hole in it with your bare fist.

- But...it is...

- Not feasible? Will you break your hands? Possible. - black-haired girl said, not waiting for the sentence to be completed. - Both me, my sisters and our children over 8 have tried to do it. See the effects for yourself. Miserable.

He looked more closely. The bale was riddled with holes. There was a horizontal row of circular holes in it, definitely punched by a human hand. Over eight years old? Kaoru was very curious when Hanabi did it. He didn't have time to ask. Heard a nightingale chanting behind him, about geese walking in a row. When turned around, he saw another of his sisters-in-law. As always, she was dressed sweetly, in a pink sleeveless shirt, a white flounce skirt and high-heeled shoes. She flung her red hair over and soon he saw three little girls following her. All of them in bright dresses and flat shoes with bows. Tiny Fubuki was walking closest to her mother, with equally fiery ponies on top of her head. The other two stopped at the sight of him, making sure that their jaws didn't drop.

- Hyo, Arashi, nice to see you again! - Hanabi asked them.

- See, I said that uncle is huge! - The red toddler snapped at her sisters. - Hi, uncle!

- Hi, Fubuki.-  he muttered, ruffling the top of small head.

-Oh gosh, Kureha, nice to see you... - Shizuka sighed at the sight of the muscular doctor. - ...but you shouldn't show up here. Ayame will be furious.

- Ayame is here? - he asked with heavily concealed hope.

- DIE SHINOGI. - growled the tall blonde behind him.

He had no idea if Kureha was happier or scared. The last of Hanayama's sisters-in-law. The imperious and uncompromising Ayame. Fair-haired, in thin jeans, a corset blouse without shoulders and high-heeled pumps. Two boys with her - one dark red, tall, well-built, the other slightly shorter, dark-haired, and next to him a very similar girl, looking a bit withdrawn. The oldest of the four descendants of Kitsune looked as if she was going to throw fists at the redhead, but on the other hand she was disgusted with it.

- May I know what you're doing here? - she hissed.

- Your grandfather invited us! - the man defended himself. - ME TOO.

- Divine punishment... - She sighed heavily, then turned to the crowd, completely ignoring the interlocutor. - Yuri, Razu, Ren, go get changed.

- Fine mom. - They answered in chorus, only to disappear behind a movable wall.

- M...mom? - Kureha grunted.

- Yes, imagine that some of us matured to parenthood. - The blonde chuckled, turning on her heel to follow the children.

There was an awkward silence. Shizuka slipped out unnoticed with her three. He met another of his wife's nephews. He remembered the day Hanabi had shown him behavior of children on the phone, when they were alone at home with her. This time he had the strange impression that they were definitely calmer. He gulped at Shinogi. He didn't look like he was going to let Ayame go, just...why? It's actually none of his business. General consternation was interrupted by Yui.

- Yuki! Yoshi! Show guests the rooms! - she called to the boys from the dojo.

- Yes, mother! - they replied.

The mystery was solved. Boys looked eerily like Black Fox. They took care of Tokugawa and Kozue's luggage, leading everyone inside. He and Hanabi went to their room, the same room they had occupied before, and in childhood it had belonged only to her. As soon as they unpacked, she disappeared, probably looking for her sister.

>>><<<

Hanabi was glad to hear that they were going to Okinawa, even though she still felt that her grandfather would try to convince her again. She loved him, as he must have loved her, but she was not going to agree, even if he promised golden mountains. She wasn't a teacher in a dojo, she didn't have the teaching skills, the attitude Yui does, and besides... No, it wasn't a good idea. She found her in the inner garden. She was sitting on the grass, leaning against a rockery with a fairly large bonsai tree. Still in the dark shirt and pants hakama. Yui didn't look at her, but Hanabi knew her sister felt her. They always had a strange bond. She walked over, knelt beside her, then rested head on straightened knees. A hand appeared on her head, tenderly combing short hair.

- My Yin... - whispered the brunette, looking up with blue eyes.

- My Yang...

Grandpa Shigeru spent practically the entire day with the guests, proposing that they spend their time resting. So it wasn't without an evening visit to the family onsen located at the back of the house. She forgot about it completely. Hot springs. Apparently their great-grandfather established his nest in this place just for this. She wrapped a towel around herself, leaving only the dragon's head exposed, wondering if Kaoru would benefit. Traditionally, both of them should be excluded from such pleasures because of the tattoos they wear. Her back seemed to be no problem for the sisters, she hoped grandfather would pass over the image of Otokodachi with appropriate silence. Both quite large pools were separated by a fairly high bamboo fence. They could immerse themselves in warm water delicately scented with herbs and breathe. Next to her appeared Yui, with braids tightly tied as usual, opposite Ayame and Shizuka with buns neatly pinned at the tops of their heads, and Kozue, as if most in the middle, uncertain and flustered. Fortunately, a moment of conversation was enough for her to relax. Hanabi was well aware that her sisters were sometimes intimidating, but in fact they were nice.

- I was a little surprised by the group of children around you. - Matsumoto said. - I mean...you all look very young...

- And here are two or three? And quite large ones? - Shizuka laughed heartily, slightly covering her mouth with her hand. - You are as old as you feel, sweetheart.

- Neither of you looks like you're giving birth. - she continued blushing.

- Oh yeah, there's no hanging skin, wrinkles, stretch marks, tousled hair... - Ayame calculated. - Let's say...it was possible to survive. Childbirth is not always terrible and traumatic, although the fact may be.

The teenager looked as if she didn't understand the twisted logic of the interlocutor. Hanabi had a similar conversation many times, basically after each delivery, sisters had to talk to each other and said "what it was like this time". She didn't intend to interfere, she had no experience herself, and besides...thinks, but she's not yet mature enough to talk about it.

- There are many variables that affect how it will all go. For example your attitude or physical condition. - The blonde continued, tucking a falling strand behind her ear and settling more comfortably. - My firstborn was born on the express, a week later I wrote a colloquium on medical basics. Twins couldn't decide which would be born first, which almost torn me in two.

- And my births have always been fun! - The redhead laughed. - Especially the latter! The water broke in the shower, I ate my lunch calmly, I came by my own car...and when I stood in front of the hospital reception, Fubuki was pushing her head out! Nurses nearly died from experience!

- And how is it with anesthesia? - the girl asked.

- Epidural? - Shizuka asked. - Neither of us used.

- And so...just? Without anything? - Kozue's eyes grew larger and larger.

- "Children of the Fox", meaning every woman born in our family, are made to give birth. - Yui said sternly. - Besides, female bodies are shaped to cope in most cases.

Every conversation with the sisters ended the same in her case. She was given a whole range of advice and ideas on what to do, what to remember, why not to do something. It was evident that this principle didn't work on other people, or at least those unrelated.

The first days passed very quietly. Grandfather was surprisingly stoic for her company, not clinging to her that she should stay. It looked as if he was focused on the guests and their skills. And they had the opportunity to show off many times. Shigeru even hosted a mini tournament on their arrival to see what they could do. The dojo students didn't have much chance, but it was a good lesson for them too. She kept wondering when grandfather's bomb would go off, scattering smelly shit among four granddaughters, especially the two youngest. She didn't have to wait too long. It was the evening of the third day when his impatience had clearly reached its zenith. She guessed what was going on. According to him, Hanabi should be in control, she should be sitting next to him, and Yui should bow and obey her gratefully. Ultimately, Hanabi was to take over. She wasn't going to give him that satisfaction, didn't want to. Didn't change her mind. He probably blamed someone else.

- You don't know your place in line, girl! - he grunted nervously, barely glancing at Yui.

- What this time? - she sighed heavily, eating the rice from the bowl.

- You're just a surrogate master until Hanabi returns to her wits, and you act like it's all yours! - he snorted fiercely. - Over my dead body!

- Oh, really? Are you still under the illusion that she'll come back to cheerfully keep an eye on your bunch? You're a blind fool! - the woman snapped, getting up from her seat, then turned to the younger one. - I want a duel. When and where it doesn't interest me anymore. Let's figure it out once and for all, Hana.

She did not have time to react, because the sister turned abruptly on her heel and left, not worried about closing the door. Even stranger than the reaction of the always calm woman, was the fact that Kaioh ran right after her, throwing a dark braid around. Hanabi glared at the gray-haired man in dismay.

- Like you always can fuck things up beautifully, Grandpa. - she sighed disapprovingly.

- Weigh the words, child. A bit of culture. - he grunted, sipping his green tea.

- I'd like to, but you make it so difficult.

>>><<<

Retsu was watching Yui from the first moment he saw her. At first he thought that she was an exceptionally frail man, when he came closer, saw a woman of exceptional beauty. She amazed him with her attitude, strength, skills...basically everything she displayed. For some reason, it seemed as if Master Shigeru had completely missed it, which he thought was a gross oversight. He had a perfectly cut diamond under his wing, and was blind to its wonderful brilliance. Even though she didn't say a word directly to him, nor did she glance at him with beautiful blue eyes, the old man's words ached alive. Moved, he ran after her, not quite sure what to do or say. Without thinking, he opened the door that had slammed a moment earlier behind the woman in dark hakama pants.

- Soga-sensei*, I...

- Yes? - she said in a low voice, turning slightly towards him.

It took him a few seconds to realize that he had burst into her room without knocking, and she was...going to change. She was standing in front of him, half naked, in only pants, with a white blouse in hands. Visibly firm breasts were obscured only by strong arms, naturally arranged on the sides of the body. A beautiful, strong body with clearly defined back muscles. He looked down, blushing all over his face.

- Eishu Retsu, master of Chinese Kenpo...Kaioh, am I right? - she asked as if nothing had happened. - It makes no difference to me whether you watch me naked or in my clothes.

- But that's...I am very... - he muttered under his breath.

- I am a soldier. I want to be appreciated for my skills, not my looks. - she said. - Can I help you with something?

- I am full of admiration for your skill, Soga-sensei! - he snapped forcefully, then abruptly turned and left, making sure he had closed the door behind him. 

He shot out like a slingshot, burning with shame. How was he supposed to look her in the eye after something like this?! He admired the strength and fortitude of the young mistress, and as can see, he was absolutely unable to respect her personal space. Who knows where he would have gotten had it not been for the old man standing in his way. He invited Retsu with a wave of hand to him. It was rude to say no. They sat facing each other in a modest room, with a low table with a pot of tea and two cups between them.

- How about tea, Kaioh? - the man suggested.

- Thank you, Soga-sensei. - he replied.

- And I'd like to... - Shigeru laughed slightly, pouring the green liquid into the vessel. - Why such a violent reaction to my granddaughter's exit? I admit that I did not expect.

- With all due respect, Soga-sensei, I don't think you appreciate Yui-sama. She is a great teacher with a great heart for martial arts, a talented fighter. I... - he listed, unable to find the right words in the crowd of thoughts. - I... see something so amazing for the first time! Why are you so insistent that the youngest take over the dojo?

- I don't deny that Yui has great potential, but Hanabi is more appropriate. - the old man insisted, sipping his tea. - It's quite a long story, you just have to take my word for it that I know what I'm doing.

- What are you going to do, Soga-sensei? - Retsu worried.

- Oh, no big deal. Though it will take a while to prove to her that this young yakuza is a poor material for a husband. - he explained bluntly. - Although I have to admit, a first-class stud. Unusual muscle building. He will give my son perfect grandchildren.

- You want to destroy your granddaughter's relationship? - Kaioh said indignantly. - Just like that?

- The welfare of the family and school counts for me, young master. I have a bunch of great-grandchildren, I need a genius heir to take the dojo back to its glory days! - Shigeru laughed. - The first in line, as the one with the strongest predispositions, is the reincarnation of my great-grandmother, Little Fox. If, for the sake of the public, I have to break something... Too bad. Someday she will understand.

- It's monstrous! Aren't you afraid I will anticipate them?

- It won't change much... - he whispered, narrowing his eyes. - Besides, you don't look like the kind who likes to meddle in someone else's business.

The good of the family? The good of the school? What about her happiness? The longer she listened, the more disgusted and wanted to wipe grandfather's nose just as badly. Trying not to creak a single wooden stave, she returned to the room where husband was waiting for her, as usually only in a white fundoshi. She collapsed against him, lean back against his muscular stomach and wrapped his arms around herself.

- Grandpa is going to divide us so that I can stay here. - she grunted grumpily. - Maybe not today, not tomorrow, not in a week...but he openly admitted that he would do whatever was necessary.

- I've been wondering for a long time, what Goro has to say? - Kaoru asked, brushing her long black fringe away from her green eye.

- He said he didn't interfere. He respects my decisions, but he doesn't intend to stand up to his father, so just cut himself off. - she replied with a shrug. - I guess he also thinks the whole thing is pointless.

- So it seems that we have to knock out the whole plan from the grandfather's head. -  he replied softly, leaning down to her neck.

A warm shiver ran through her as his big finger brushed the hemline of neckline and prominent lips touched the skin on the back of neck. The other hand slid under the loose t-shirt. She thought. They had two problems to solve. One: school master function. Fortunately, she could easily get around the duel with Yui, they just had to play it well. Two: relationship with Kaoru. She absolutely wasn't going to get caught up in her grandfather's games, she didn't even see the need to prove anything to him...but how to discourage him? Husband was definitely not helping, starting out bolder and bolder. Cut fingers gently cupped one of the breasts for an equally subtle kneading. She turned to face him, placing a huge paw on her back.

- Honey... - she began, but was interrupted by a steel grip on her buttocks, lifting her up to sit on his lap.

He stuck his sweet lips into her, as he did every time he came back from a hard day, when just needed her company. If it were someone else, she would probably treat it as abuse, maybe even rape. But Hanabi knew her husband well enough that she knew how he wasn't particularly eager to talk about his feelings. It happened, a fact, but when he wanted something, just took it. In her case, he was surprisingly able to sense when she wouldn't mind. Guess that was one of the reasons she loved him...in some twisted, masochistic way.

- I always forget that I married a "bad boy". - she laughed beadily as she cupped big neck and tucked tiny fingers into raven hair.

𝙲𝙷𝙰𝚁𝙰𝙲𝚃𝙴𝚁 𝚂𝚃𝚄𝙳𝚈: apocalypse maiden,  fainting seer,   birthmark of destiny, fate brings us together.

#NAILASHED.   [ . . . ]      a     canon divergent   &&  headcanon    based     portrayal     of   MATSUMOTO        RANGIKU        from        (kubo        tite’s)       𝘉𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘊𝘏.     reincarnated by moe.

⠀ ⠀ 🎇 ⠀ ⠀ tenth division ⠀ ⠀ ╱ ⠀ ⠀ intro.

1. my name is moe ( she / her ) twenty-three. I'm new to the bleach fandom here on tumblr but I'm familiar with the dubbed anime with only pieces of the manga. This blog will consist of low to medium activity due to my ADHD.

2. Rangiku Matsumoto in my canon divergent portrayal is specifically biracial (white / japanese) on account of hair and eye color (strawberry blonde hair + blue eyes) and I'll be using an assortment of live action faceclaims : elizabeth olsen / ao yui etc.

3. In light of watching the first half of the thousand year blood war -- my rewrite will consist of making Matsumoto's role a major one to the plot towards how I feel about how things should've played out / happened differently. ( spoilers warning ).

4. I've been recently made aware of the shipping discourse within the bleach fandom and right off the bat, everyone needs to know this blog ships hitsumatsu ( toshiro x rangiku ) && that I honestly don't care what anyone ships as long as no one is being weird or "pro / anti" about shipping. That being said, I don't mind tagging "hitsumatsu" for blacklisting purposes

5. I'm a multi-shipping babe and I'm open to any and all. I personally headcanon Rangiku as bisexual. Rarepair wise my canon divergency may even include "ASH FEAR" -- a dynamic between Rangiku and As Nodt but I haven't fully decided on if it's romantic or platonic but it will definitely be antagonistic.

⠀ ⠀ 🎇 ⠀ ⠀ tenth division ⠀ ⠀ ╱ ⠀ ⠀ rewrite.

coming soon !!

After the Rain, Love Blooms

After the Rain (Japanese: 恋は雨上がりのように, Hepburn: Koi wa Ameagari no Yō ni, which translates to "Love Is Like After the Rain") is a touching Japanese manga series created by Jun Mayuzuki. Initially serialized in Shogakukan's Monthly Big Comic Spirits from June 2014 to November 2015, and later in Weekly Big Comic Spirits until March 2018, the series concluded with a total of 10 tankōbon volumes.

The story centers on Akira Tachibana, a high school student who works part-time at a family restaurant. Her life changes when she develops feelings for Masami Kondo, the restaurant’s 45-year-old manager. Masami, a kind and timid man who has been through a divorce and has a young son, becomes the unexpected focus of Akira's affection. As Akira grapples with her feelings and the complexities of her situation, she must decide whether to express her emotions to Masami.

After the Rain was adapted into a 12-episode anime series by Wit Studio, which aired from January to March 2018 on Fuji TV’s Noitamina block. Additionally, a live-action film adaptation was released in May 2018. In North America, Vertical licensed the manga, publishing it in five omnibus volumes from September 2018 to September 2019. Sentai Filmworks holds the license for the anime series' home video and digital releases.

The manga has been well-received, with over two million copies in circulation by April 2018 and won the 63rd Shogakukan Manga Award in the general category that same year.

Key Characters:

Akira Tachibana (Voiced by Sayumi Watabe, English by Luci Christian; Played by Nana Komatsu): A high school student and former track team member, Akira falls for Masami after a kind gesture from him during a rainy day. Despite her seemingly aloof exterior, she’s quite shy and reserved, especially around Masami.

Masami Kondo (Voiced by Hiroaki Hirata, English by Jason Douglas; Played by Yo Oizumi): The 45-year-old manager of the family restaurant who is kind but often seen as weak by his staff. Divorced and father to a young son, Masami is initially unaware of Akira’s true feelings for him.

Haruka Kyan (Voiced by Emi Miyajima, English by Elizabeth Maxwell; Played by Nana Seino): Akira’s loyal friend from her track team days who remains supportive after her injury.

Yui Nishida (Voiced by Haruka Fukuhara, English by Maggie Flecknoe; Played by Honoka Matsumoto): A cheerful coworker at the restaurant who has her own romantic interests.

Ryosuke Kase (Voiced by Tomoaki Maeno, English by Jason Liebrecht; Played by Hayato Isomura): A restaurant chef with inappropriate intentions towards Akira, leading to a tense subplot involving blackmail.

Takashi Yoshizawa (Voiced by Junya Ikeda, English by Gareth West; Played by Shono Hayama): Akira’s classmate and coworker who has a crush on her.

Kayoko Kubo (Voiced by Mika Kanai, English by Patricia Duran; Played by Mari Hamada): A supporting character in the series.

Yuto Kondo (Voiced by Junko Takeuchi, English by Kira Vincent-Davis; Played by Shunya Shiraishi): Masami’s young son, adding a layer of family dynamic to the story.

Chihiro Kujo (Voiced by Mitsuru Miyamoto; Played by Shigeyuki Totsugi): Masami’s former college buddy who is now a renowned writer.

After the Rain is a poignant exploration of unexpected love and the complexities of human relationships, beautifully illustrated and narrated by Jun Mayuzuki.
