Would I recommend this? I'd say that maybe because of how short it was, 5 chapters, maybe it's worth a quick read? But honestly they reach a little too far for my liking for the jokes and it was pretty rushed. So otherwise, I think you can find some anime at least that are a lot better (haven't really gotten into mecha manga much yet so I can't vouch for that medium but I'd assume as well that the longer series are probably more worth it in terms of return on investment).
The next manga I want to talk about it Itsuka no Haru. I know how in After the Rain I kind of bashed the age gap. I think it's just because they're in such different places in their lives that it just seemed a little bit of a stretch. But in this one, I guess the age gap is a little less so it's kind of ok? Maybe I'm just trying to justify myself here. Anyways, this is a short little story of Yui and how she helps her classmate that's actually 10 years older than anyone in her class experience his youth. It's a bit touching when they explain that Itsuka had to drop out of high school in order to take over his family's soy sauce company after his parents pass in order to carry on the tradition and provide for his family. I think I just have a soft spot for these kinds of touching backstories that just add to a character's dimension though. In general, the story is kind of basic, but it's just really cute to see this guy that was robbed of his high school life get to go back and reclaim his youth in a way. And the romance is just an added bonus hehe. I know, I'm just shoujo trash, whatever!
And would I recommend this? Yeah I think that it's pretty cute and a short read for some quick doki-dokis. Hmmm...comparing the two manga of similar length with different content...I wonder if I'm biased hehe whatever.
