~ Koi wa Ameagai no You ni ~
Koi wa Ameagari no You ni English: After the Rain Japanese: ćăŻé¨ä¸ăăăŽăăăŤ
Akira Tachibana is a soft-spoken high school student who used to be a part of the track and field club but, due to an injury, she is no longer able to run as fast as she once could. Working part-time at a family restaurant as a recourse, she finds herself inexplicably falling in love with her manager, a divorced 45-year-old man with a young son. Despite the age gap, Akira wholeheartedly embraces his mannerisms and kind nature, which is seen as spinelessness by the other employees, and little by little, the two begin to understand each other. Although unable to explain why exactly she is attracted to him, Akira believes that a concrete reason is not needed to truly love someone. On a rainy day, she decides to finally tell her manager about how she feels... But just how will he react?

An In-depth, Objective Review of Koi wa Ameagari no You ni (as of episode 2, and chapter 48 of the translated manga)
This is in response to the review posted by Vrai Kaiser on the site www.animefeminist.com, which claims to view âJapanese pop culture through a feminist lensâ. The specific link to the review is here.Â
This is going to be a very in-depth review of Koi wa Ameagari no You ni thus far, and has been included under the cut.
The review is clouded with constant air of arrogance - in the comments below, Kaiser has started off a reply to other commenters with âNah, I call b******tâ, indicating that she is unwilling to listen to both sides of the discussion. She has furthermore criticised the anime through a personal lens, when she states, âThen, about halfway through the episode, I realized theyâd made it personal. Because this anime cast Hiroaki Hirata to play Kondoâ, which discredits her review as she by planting her own personal bias into it. It also finishes with an underwhelmingly small nod to the animation quality, simply stating that, âOh, and the animation looks niceâ, and they do not continue further.
Let's start with the animeâs core premise: Akira Tachibana, age 17, has discontinued participating in the track and field club at her high school following a leg injury. She has instead started to work at a family restaurant and has steadily fallen in love with the manager, Masami Kondou (some people have spelled it as Kondo), age 45, who however does not return such intense feelings.
I will address this premise later, because this anime is defined by more than its cover. I implore you to continue reading normally.
First of all, the animation quality. Wit Studio has done an incredible job with the anime, cleverly incorporating 3D animation with 2D art style to create environments and backgrounds that look and feel very natural and realistic, though there are occasions where it may clash, but these occasions are few. On top of this, they are just as detailed as the foreground of the anime itself. For example, the streets are populated with people who act natural, cars that both look and move realistically, much like real-world traffic does, and in the restaurant, we are given mouth-watering animation of the food that is being served to its customers. Although the anime is centered on the main characters and their lives, we also get glimpses of the lives of the people around them, most clearly shown through the families and friends who eat in the restaurant, or people taking their daily commute, as shown in the start of episode 2. This anime is fantastic in showing off its world, immersing us into the story and its characters.
The anime generally sticks closely to its manga source material. Many of the poses and scenes in the manga are reflected exactly in the anime, with many additions in the anime to cater to anime fans, which serve to help set it apart from the manga. Because of this, one can read the manga and still watch the anime even if it is just to see it voice-acted and animated. This does however become slightly troublesome when character movements feel a little restrictive, because it so strictly references the manga. One scene where this is noticeable is when Tachibana is laughing at Kondouâs confusion of her painted nails in episode 2 - she barely moves her body while laughing, giving her a slightly odd pose while doing so. Scenes like this however can easily be ignored by casual viewers and are more nitpickery than anything else.
Next are its characters. As the designs are faithful to the manga, a pleasant feature across the animeâs cast of characters is that they are all unique. This can easily be seen in their faces - none of the characters suffer from Same Face Syndrome, where the characters have the same faces just with different hair and eyes - a problem that can be found in other animes, likely due to mix of the wide range of ages amongst the characters, and their designs being reflective of their personalities.
Take Kubo Kayo for instance, the comically full-lipped waitress who seems to be in more command than her own manager. She is short and senior, but with full lips which show her loud personality and her eagerness to snap quickly at her manager. As she is only a side character, it is somewhat unfortunate that most viewers will only associate her with her comically shaped lips, however this does grant her uniqueness. Because of her behaviour, we can also presume sheâs a full-time staff member who has been working at the restaurant for quite some time.
In contrast to her are the other two waitresses â Tachibana and Yui Nishida â who are of similar ages, both clearly displaying a very young appearance. Yuiâs face is bright and cheerful, yet Tachibanaâs is generally aloof or expressionless. As a whole, the anime does a fantastic job gathering all of these unique characters inside the family restaurant setting and treating them as real people. None of the characters are ever copied and pasted, each have their own individual personalities, much like the real world when one gathers people from different backgrounds and age ranges together.
Now the pacing. Unlike the manga, the anime can feel a little slow and drawn out at times. Moments in the manga, especially when one is reading quickly through them, can feel intense and fast, inspiring a sense of urgency in the reader. The anime however takes time to slow down and let the viewer take in the scene, a stark contrast to the standard fast-paced action anime. This may be seen in the scene following Tachibanaâs confession where, amongst many other moments when Tachibana regards the manager, there is a slow zoom-in to her eyes. This is fine at first but it can feel little drawn out and annoying when we want to see what is happening. At the same time however this can create some anticipation for the moments that are coming, and serves to highlight Tachibanaâs more observant and passive personality. She does not leap into action - the action typically comes to her. These slow moments also occur when the anime displays shots of the environment, especially during Kondou and Tachibanaâs first meeting. Although these shots are beautiful, sometimes they feel as though they are displayed for a second too long. With that said, these drawn out moments can still be easily ignored as the anime continues, as they are only brief moments in the span of an entire episode.
Finally, the story and its premise.
Once again, I implore you to, before reading this section of the review, if you have skipped the earlier paragraphs, to please read them.
Starting with the story. It has a head-turning premise, one that is easily problematic - which can be very effective in drawing attention to the anime. From a genre standpoint, this is a Slice of Life anime, and most anime of this type tend to be high school romances with the typical tropes (eg. beach episodes, hot springs, sporting carnivals, and other high school-type episodes). They can be slow and the plot may not be entertaining enough to carry the anime the whole way through. They all tend to be âvery safeâ, pairing characters with similar ages and interests, with the occasional âfall-over-and-plant-face-into-femaleâs-breastsâ and other such scenes to add some comic relief and romantic tension.
The thought of this anime without highlighting the main relationship can appear disinteresting, and can lead to assumptions, such as âTachibana will simply fall in love with one of her coworkersâ. That is what would be expected, however the anime takes steps to reiterate that the male lead is a much older man. These kinds of stories, and especially in reality, are what one would find in media stories and especially in magazines or tabloids (such as young men with âcougarsâ). This is because they naturally draw attention - humans are curious about things such as âforbidden or taboo relationshipsâ or problematic premises; it breaks away from anything âsafeâ in todayâs world. There is a constant need for political correctness in the 21st century, and things need to be âthe way they should beâ. This anime pushes that boundary and it draws attention in. And if this anime did not have such a premise, it could be described in phrases like âonce youâve seen one, youâve seen them allâ.
Serious props should be granted to Jun Mayuzuki, the very reclusive and unknown (at least, in the Western world) author of this manga and anime. They push the envelope well, but not too much so. Making Tachibana be 17 is on the boundary of âyoungâ and âjust old enoughâ to cause heads to turn and discussion to arise. It is noteworthy to see how among watchers that it would âacceptableâ if Tachibana was 18 or 22, how even just one or a few digits off can cause such discomfort. Would the anime still be as prominent, or have such a problematic premise if Tachibana was instead a little older? Why is an anime deemed âunwatchableâ if the digits are off?
Mayuzuki is also very deliberate in their writing, which is much more prominent in the manga due to the manga being further along in the story than the anime. Not one detail is off, and they all serve a purpose. This can be seen if one pays attention to when Kondou blushes â blushing in manga and anime can be fairly overused if done every time something embarrassing or nice occurs. His reaction to Tachibanaâs pursuits is carefully crafted and interesting to observe. And for those who have or are planning to read the manga further as of the second episodeâs release - Mayuzukiâs writing of Kondouâs âmidlife crisisâ is absolutely fantastic, either she has done some extensive research and story planning, or they are writing from their own or somebody elseâs knowledge, which either way makes it feels very realistic and accurate.
To go back to the premise, the most important thing to consider here is this: the anime takes place in Japan. The story seems to tackle the issue of âcompensated datingâ; that is, when older men pay younger females, even schoolgirls, for their company, and occasionally even sexual favours. This topic of conversation is one that comes up during the manga, and will likely be seen in a future episode of the anime.
In regards to criticisms of âmanipulationâ, there is no such manipulative behaviour going on in the anime. While it may be argued that there is a power balance as he is her manager, his own awkwardness and clumsiness however, along with constant nagging from Kayo, belies this point, instead showing that he in reality has rather little power. He is unassertive and passive.
Tachibana is pursuing her manager, however he is not being a pervert or creepily seducing her - in fact, he is rather clueless about her true feelings. As will likely become evident later based on the manga, he constantly tries to resist their relationship, and tells Tachibana the easily spottable problems of such a relationship, âwhat would people think?â and âit just wouldnât workâ. He puts her down in a gentle yet firm way, and considers her feelings too. He does not refuse it like a stern manager would - he clearly cares about all of his workers, including Tachibana. Because of this, it is absurd to believe he is âpreyingâ on Tachibana as some may suggest, or that this was written to validate older men preying on younger females. Nothing like this occurs in the anime or the manga, and it is clear that there is no tolerance for such creepy behaviour amongst the storyâs characters.
As stated earlier, this anime seems to tackle the issue of compensated dating in Japan, meaning  that this wasnât necessarily written for a Western audience. We in the Western world have very black and white taboo views of such a relationship, and are very quick to call it âpaedophiliaâ and âunderage datingâ, and this is accentuated by our need to be âpolitically correctâ in fear of backlash. This is especially troublesome when scenes or story points are taken out of their context - we can easily become blinded by distaste for something and instantly boycott or condemn it. Recall the Pewdiepie Fiver incident that occurred earlier in 2017 - it reiterated a lesson that needed to be told on the internet and the media - âcontext mattersâ.
The watchers of Koi wa Ameagari no You ni are easily split into two main categories - those who were open-minded enough to continue watching, and those who took one glance at the age-gap relationship plot summary or the first episode and immediately deemed the anime unwatchable, with some barely commenting on the high animation quality.
With that out of the way, the big question is now is if Kondou and Tachibana will end up together. People have pointed to the opening theme and their very interactive parts of it as a âsealed dealâ as to the ending of this anime, but others have also pointed to the title of the anime, âAfter the Rainâ, as that Tachibana will eventually move on with her life. A thing to note that the original translation of the Japanese name of the manga translates to âLove is like After the Rainâ, which is a generally accepted title, however all names seem to be synonymous with the anime. With the way Mayuzuki writes, it is still hard to predict, even if one is up to date with the manga. Kondou still speaks with his ex-wife, although the relationship is strained. He does also further acknowledge Tachibanaâs feelings for him and he constantly thinks about his situation.
If Kondou and Tachibana only remain close friends, it could be seen as an easy âcop outâ by the audience in fear of backlash. It can cause disappointment amongst fans who would be unsatisfied with the ending. But if Kondou and Tachibana become partners, there may be backlash still due to the age gap in the relationship. It will be interesting to see how the inevitable conflict between Kondouâs ex-wife and Tachibana would be addressed going forward. The ending is ultimately hard to predict as Mayuzuki bounces between both concepts in their writing, which prevents the reader from making assumptions and keeping them on their toes.
So, should one give this anime a watch? Absolutely. People seem to have had their opinions on the relationship changed for the better upon seeing its context. And it is okay if others watch it and decide it is simply not the series for them. The anime overall is very positive and is going to teach positive life lessons, as the manga does. As the saying goes, âone shouldnât judge a book by its coverâ and in the anime season of 2018, this anime is a perfect example of that.

"Things won't work out between you and Mr. Kondou. Definitely not. I'm not trying to be mean. I'm saying you should have a healthy relationship with someone else instead. That's my advice."

I know the focus should be the couples, but to be honest I was more intrigued and highly amused by the dude that came to watch the movie - twice! And got surprised both times! LOL!! His reaction from stern-faced to completely shocked was classic and I laugh every time!
BONUS: The movie? A zombie flick of course...
