恋如雨止

“我，喜欢店长——”

曾是田径部的王牌，但由于某个事件而放弃跑步的17岁女高中生·橘晶。

不擅长表现感情，总被人误会成待人冷淡的晶，其视线的前方是自己在打工的家庭餐厅“Garden”的万年店长·近藤正己。

对店长的心意满溢而出的晶，以及对于朝着命途多舛的自己而来的率直好意感到不知所措的近藤——。

这是，在形形色色的雨滴轻柔下落当中，任何人都会联想到“那个时期”的，痛切的恋物语。

「あたし、店長のこと好きです――」。陸上部のエースだったが、ある出来事がきっかけで走ることを諦めた17 歳の女子高生・橘あきら。感情表現が下手で、人からはクールといつも勘違いされてしまうあきらの視線の先には、バイト先のファミレス「ガーデン」の万年店長・近藤正己がいた。店長への想いがあふれ出すあきらと、うだつのあがらない自分に向けられるまっすぐな好意に戸惑う近藤――。これは、色々な雨が優しく降る中で誰もが“あの時代”を思い出す、切ない恋物語。

Akira Tachibana, a reserved high school student and former track runner, has not been able to race the same as she used to since she experienced a severe foot injury. And although she is regarded as attractive by her classmates, she is not interested in the boys around school.

While working part-time at the Garden Cafe, Akira begins to develop feelings for the manager—a 45-year-old man named Masami Kondou—despite the large age gap. Kondou shows genuine concern and kindness toward the customers of his restaurant, which, while viewed by others as soft or weak, draws Akira to him. Spending time together at the restaurant, they grow closer, which only strengthens her feelings. Weighed down by these uncertain emotions, Akira finally resolves to confess, but what will be the result?
