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?

Admittedly, I watched the series because I wanted to hear Aimer's song at the end of the ep. But it looks pretty interesting. Nice animation with complicated premise means a lot of content to explore.

 

Looks interesting, might check it out

 

Two eps in and I feel like nothing much is happening. Yet. I don't know what to expect now, somehow trying not to hope about deep messages (and hope to be surprised). Slice-of-life feeling but more the superficial one, I should say.
