Synopsis

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?

"Youth... At times it can be wild, at times vicious. And yet, all those emotions from that age become an irreplaceable treasure. Although you may not see that right now..." - Masami Kondou

An injury, the fear of writing again... What do these two things have in common? Yes, they prevent you from pursuing what you want to do, and leaves you stranded alone while everyone else is moving on, as if time itself has stopped.

Story: 9
Revolving around the conflicting themes of moving on to pursue what you love or staying still for love, this is a beautiful allegory of life and regret.

I'm pretty sure that ...

Personally, I wouldn't recommend this manga. I like the story; it has an interesting premise, but the character development feels slow and underdeveloped. Furthermore, the manga ends leaving readers with some unanswered questions.

This manga is better than ...

Story would have been better if it didn't try to be a romance.

The two main characters and how their struggles parallel each other, executed well. The side characters were completely necessary and had well-deserved scenes.

So what's the point of the alleged romance?

In the first place I think this story is guilty of "romance is the ultimate form of love," having this girl fall in love with her manager because he was nice to her, just to preach about how "you don't need a reason to fall in love," like romance is this great, transcendental thing. Uh yeah, there's the physical attraction aspect, and in ...
