A Heartwarming Tale of a Girl and a Mysterious "Dog"

With You and the Rain has been serialized in Weekly Young Magazine (Kodansha) since August 2020. This slice-of-life story follows the bond between a young woman and an unusual "dog" she encounters on a rainy day. The series has surpassed 500,000 copies in circulation.


Synopsis

On a rainy day, one girl and one "dog" meet.

While walking home drenched from the rain, Fuji comes across an oddly peculiar "dog." The dog, using a flip board, pleads "Please take me in", while also offering Fuji (CV: Saori Hayami) a folded umbrella. But this "dog" seems… more than just unusual?

Thus begins a charming, slightly eccentric companionship—eating together, going out, chatting (?), and enjoying the changing seasons. A warm and gentle story about a girl and a strange but endearing "dog," sharing their quiet yet precious everyday life together.
