Seishun no After

Makoto Toba harbors a deep disdain for everyone in his high school class, with one solitary exception: Sakura Touwa. A quiet, introverted girl who lives with her grandmother and spends her free time immersed in video games, Sakura is the only person Makoto genuinely cares about. However, their fragile connection is shattered when she inexplicably vanishes right before his eyes. Unable to move past the sudden loss, Makoto returns to the exact site of her disappearance every year on its anniversary, maintaining a painful vigil that spans sixteen long years. His unwavering devotion is finally upended when Sakura suddenly reappears, having been trapped in a time slip. For her, not a single second has passed since that fateful day. Now thirty-two years old and settled into adulthood with a girlfriend, Makoto is abruptly thrust back into the orbit of his sixteen-year-old childhood crush. Forced to navigate the bizarre reality of caring for a girl who hasn't aged a day while managing his current relationship and adult responsibilities, Makoto must confront an impossible situation where the past and present collide in ways no one could have anticipated.
