About the series
A quiet, introspective romance from Vertical, After the Rain follows a high school girl who develops feelings for the much older manager of the family restaurant where she works. Written and illustrated by Jun Mayuzuki across five issues from 2018 to 2019, the series delicately explores the boundaries of love, loneliness, and the bittersweet nature of unspoken connections. Its understated art and mature emotional depth make it a standout slice-of-life manga.
