TV anime Koi wa Ameagari no You ni (Love is Like After the Rain) has shared a new key visual and promotional video. It has also revealed that Ayumu Watanabe (Doraemon: Nobita’s Dinosaur 2006 , Space Brothers) will be taking on the role of director. The series will be animated by WIT STUDIO (Attack on Titan, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress) and will air in January 2018.
This visual shows the anime’s main character Akira Tachibana looking up, while standing on her school roof, with her umbrella hanging on the wall. The rain has just stopped and clouds seem to break through the blue sky.
Aimer will contribute the ending theme song called ‘Ref:rain’. The song is from her 14th single, which will be released on 21 February 2018.

‘It’s an honor for me to be in charge of Koi wa Ameagari no You ni’s ending theme. There are irreplaceable wealths illuminated, which surround Akira and the store manager every day, such as facial expressions, dialogue, gestures and sometimes they are all in one panel, shaking my heart so much that tears come out. Every time I turn over a page, seems like one can pick up what was lost, like we’d like to affirm ourselves, not in pain but happy. These feelings become clear.
I want to express what both received into a voice, a song to add something to this story. ‘
The manga was serialized from August 2014 to January 2016 in Shogakukan’s Monthly Big Comic Spirits and then biweekly in Big Comic Spirits from Vol. 8.
Koi wa Ameagari no You ni gained readers interest as ’pure and orthodox love story’ and won the ‘Manga Grand Prize 2016’, ‘This manga is awesome! 2016’ and is the highest-ranked featured work in the men’s category. The number of sold copies exceeds 1.75 million and is finally being adapted into a TV Anime which will be broadcast on Fuji TV’s Noitamina block.
I like my boss…
She was the ace of the track club, but stopped running after an incident. Her name is Akira Tachibana (17 years old). She can’t express her feelings too well and is always misunderstood as being ‘cool’ by other people. She works part-time at a restaurant called ‘Garden’, where Masami Kondo (45) has been store manager for many years. Kondo is overwhelmed by the attention he gets from Akira, who overflows with feelings for him. Many will fondly remember this story after experiencing it, for it shows the many different ways rain can fall softly in a love story.
