Come Rain or Shine

In short: Lovely manga with cute and interesting characters and an increasingly messy plot. The reason for this is that Ame demo Hare Demo is a rewrite of the author's earlier two-volume comedy manga Todo no Tsumari no Uchouten. It's evident that she wanted to reuse the setting and the base plot for an entirely different setting with a heavier drama plot she had in mind. You can tell this is the case because you can feel the sudden shift in tone at the seams of these two plots stitched together and this contrast almost gave me whiplash. Without giving spoilers, I want to say thatthe way comedic elements were retconned with grim backstories, seemingly important points early in the story were forgotten, and pivotal plot elements in the last volume clearly conflicting the story that was laid out in the first volume is jarring and dissatisfying and will put off some readers. (Un)fortunately, I'm a shallow person who cares less about a cohesive plot and more about cute girls being cute together, and Ame demo Hare demo succeeds at delivering exactly that. For that reason, I can say I enjoyed it a lot and I strongly recommend it to the kind of person who likes fluffy comedic love stories of seemingly incompatible couples surviving trial-by-fire drama with a sombre backdrop.
