After the Rain

Akira Tachibana is a soft-spoken high school student who used to be a part of the track and field club. Working part-time at a restaurant, she finds herself inexplicably falling in love with her manager, a divorced 45-year-old man. A younger woman who has lost something within herself and feels she is falling behind falls in love with an older man who has also lost in life and becomes divorced among other issues. Like all love it is about needs, wants and compensating, but matters are complicated because the young employee also works for the man. —aghaemi
