After the Rain

Akira Tachibana works at Café Garden Restaurant, where her manager, Mr. Kondo, has a habit of apologizing to customers. But Akira doesn’t seem to mind.

A forgotten cellphone leads to a dire situation for Akira. Luckily Kondo is there to help.

Seems like Akira’s words flew over Kondo’s head. But you know what they say: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again!

How can you tell if you’re compatible? Go on a date! And it looks like Akira has more than one in her future…

Akira isn’t sure what’s cuter: Yuto or his pet hamster. And what’s even better still? Getting to walk the pair home to see Kondo!

Rumor has it that if you get the right character keychain, it will bring you closer to the person you like. Sounds farfetched, but nothing ventured, nothing gained!

As a typhoon bears down upon the café, Kase shares her opinion with Akira. Too bad it’s not what Akira really wants to hear…

Yoshizawa needs a haircut, so Yui volunteers to lend a hand. There’s only one problem: Yui isn’t as good at hairdressing as she claims!

Akira and Haruka spend time together at the festival, but when Kondo unexpectedly appears, Akira becomes distracted. This isn’t what Haruka wanted at all!

Akira receives some long-awaited news, but her feelings about it aren’t certain. Perhaps the books Akira and Kondo purchased will provide some words of wisdom.

Kondo and Chihiro have an unexpected conversation. In turn, Kondo reunites with something he long thought lost to him.

A promise made is a promised kept. Tachibana must tend to a promise she has neglected. Kondo must resurrect an old ambition. Together they’ll keep their promises, new and old.
