The live-action movie adaptation of Mayuzuki Jun’s manga, After the Rain, explores an unusual bond between 17-year-old Akira and 45-year-old Masami, with a romantic element that quietly reflects Akira's fading enthusiasm for running. The story isn't centered on a taboo relationship; instead, it highlights individual development, as Akira’s one-sided feelings motivate her to find the drive to resume track practice after dealing with previous physical setbacks. Although the film features commendable acting and maintains a gentle, thoughtful atmosphere, the ending feels somewhat abrupt and the characters, particularly Masami, might have been explored more fully.
