Koi wa Ameagari no You ni

Akira is an 18-year-old teenager who works in a Family Restaurant after school. She is secretly in love with the restaurant manager, Masami Kondo, a 45-year-old man, divorced, with a child. He is neither handsome nor charismatic, just an ordinary man, a little tired, disillusioned, aware of his situation and his advancing age. Akira was once the hope of the athletics club. But an ankle injury shattered her dreams of glory. It was while she was still grieving her athletic passion that she met Masami. He showed kindness towards her. He obviously did not realize how much his gesture was a lifeline for Akira. Nor how much it sparked the feeling she holds today.
