After the Rain is a heartfelt live-action adaptation of Mayuzuki Jun’s manga, portraying a unique connection between 17-year-old Akira and 45-year-old Masami, where romance subtly mirrors Akira’s lost passion for running. Rather than focusing on forbidden love, the film emphasizes personal growth, as Akira’s unrequited feelings inspire her to rediscover her determination to return to the track despite past injuries. While the film offers strong performances and a light, reflective tone, it could benefit from a more conclusive ending and stronger character development, especially for Masami.
