Mornie’s avatarFrom all you projects, this one is probably my favorite, I can say that it is thanks to you that I got obsessed with Kunieda Saika’s works. Thanks so much for all the effort you put into scanlating this story (and all the other ones).

keyji’s avatarsankyuu so much, love kunieda saika’s work… really appreciate it..

Cannella’s avatarHi, I just found out about your scanlation group because of the this story and I’m very happy that I did! ^^
Your scanlations are neat and you do a nice job with the sfx; moreover, I’m a big fan of Kunieda Saika and I’m really glad that you are translating so many of her stories.
Thanks for your hard work. ^_^

Shuu’s avatari must say that this time around we see a darker side of kunieda sensei’s works, much different from kaze no yukue and its prequel this one tackles about love that binds. the one i liked the most was Like as the time will come when it will rain. the blood at the last page i think signifies that when the time comes that shiro will regain his memory and would hate kyou and leave him then he will ‘release shiro’ from all the heartbreaks by killing him at the same time capturing him as well. kunieda-sensei talks about in this manga the inevitable that just like when the rain falls shiro will someday regain his memories. ‘if it rains if it pours’ kyou doesn’t care anymore and fully grasps and accepts that he loves shiro and will do anything not to let anyone get in between them. all in all Like as the time will come when it will rain is something that when you read it once you would want to read it again. there was no narration, and it wasn’t written in a first person point of view, we only get a glimpse of what the plot really is by the cryptic thoughts that kyou left behind at the end.

rika’s avatarhi, i appreciate your work. a small notice: i think the title means, ‘may the rain fall someday’, as an expression of a wish. great manga!

thank you so much for introducing me to the wonderful world of Kunieda-sensei’s works ……. I really appreciate all your hard work to bring all the releases to share with us m(_ _)m

First time commenting :)
Thank you soo much for all great manga and your hard effort,you`re great.
Like as the time will come when it will rain- is one of my fav manga ever :)

Thank you thank you… Really appreciate your hard work, just like a poster above, I think you’re the one who introduced me to Kunieda Saika sensei’s work, and don’t you think that’s something?XD Anyway again thank you so much<3

@Rika: Hehe please don’t mind my jumping in. My guess would not be a wishing expression, instead I think it means “Someday, (the time will come) just as the rain will (surely) fall down” XD My Japanese not that great though. Nor my English. Anyway I just have this feeling that the title presencedear use is actually an English title given by the mangaka in the original manga. If not then it’s my bad hehe. Anyway ‘Like as the time will come when it will rain’ sounds cute and it’s definitely close to the meaning I chose XD

Again thank you presencedear, I’m waiting patiently for your awesome releases<3

Nah scratch that, I’m waiting impatiently! XD <3<3

@Shuu: Yes I agree, and not only here we see her dark stories… She does write dark, rather depressing stories such as Bannin (Bannin, Sora no Uragawa) and Natsu Jikan (Natsu Jikan, Torrid Night). Sora no Uragawa is the darkest in my opinion (from her scanlated works…). Though her dark stories are definitely awesome, I actually prefer her lighter, cute stories such as Earlobes series and Mirai no Kioku.

presencedear’s avatarHi, Devi… Yes, you are correct. “Like As the Time Will Come When It Will Rain” is the English title that Kunieda Saika or her publishers gave the book. In general, if the mangaka gives her book an English subtitle, I’ve decided to keep it. This one was particularly long and awkward, so I considered changing it, but the English title was printed in several places on the cover of the Japanese book and I felt it would be too much trouble for a graphic editor to alter it. PD

Laure’s avatarHi!
Thank you very much for scanlating this… I have just read the first story and it was wonderful…! Such a beautiful story!
Thank you very much!

max_d’s avatarFirst time here.
I’ve downloded your work from AF site.
I specifically came to your site to say thank you for all your hard and great work especially those of Kuneda Sensei’s. Can’t say in words how much I appreciate what you did.

Thank you very much.

Yuri’s avataryay! another new release! thank you so much for the hard work that you guys put into scanlating a manga. (>^_^)><(^_^<)

Lor’s avatarThank you for all of your work on this series. It’s seriously one of the most emotionally powerful manga I’ve read. Ch 5 is absolutely killing me - you guys did such a fantastic job scanlating.

Mornie’s avatarThanks so much for this chapter.. I can’t wait to read it ^^

alaceron’s avatarThanks so much! I love Kunieda Saika, dark or not!
Your hard work is appreciated, as always.

Cyberlina’s avatarSeriously that chap5 was freakingly unexpected. Although the angst and the overall tone of the collection bode nothing pink i mean THAT?! geez as that gut said the real torture will begin now…>.<
i wish there was a sequel to this chapter. it killed me that it ended on that freakin note…

Alice’s avatarWaa, so dark! I have to say that I liked it, though. It does follow the theme of the rest of the manga. Thank you very much for this. You made me a Kunieda Saika fan. ^_^

MaiMo’s avatarThank you for this I loved it, it was twisted and unexpected and bitter sweet Kunieda Saika is awesome and so are you guys for working on this incredible manga!

Anita’s avatarI’de already been into Saika’s work for quite a while but when this came up it just blew me away!
Usually you don’t expect a good story/plot with interesting characters from a oneshot but I can tell you that when I finished reading the first chapter of this book I cried my heart out. I was crying for a good 10 minutes afterwards too. I was so incredibly moved.
I dont care if I cant understand the language, I just can’t waiting for it to get liscenced in english. If anyone knows where I can buy the japanese book then please e-mail me.
I really love this manga. One of my absolute favourites of all time. Thank you so much for taking the time to scanlate it.

presencedear’s avatarHi Anita,

You’re in Europe? I usually order books from Kinokuniya in the U.S., but your best bet might be Amazon Japan. The shipping is expensive, but they send it fairly quickly. Someone else may know a better place, though.

PD

Izuna’s avatarThank you so much for all the hard work! Saika Kunieda’s work is really amazing, the art and the plot are very interesting, so thanks again~

Alexia Lee’s avatarThanks so much for this release!!!

shuu’s avataroh shh…! as expected from Kunieda-sensei giving unexpected turns of events. it’s just so her. the end is not the end.

Mouri’s avatarThank you so, so much. <3

kanharu’s avatarThank you so much for your great work!! :D

Lu-chan’s avatarI love love Kunieda Saika so thks a bunch for doing her works ^___^

You have great taste haha =)

Cyberdeck’s avatarThank you for your hard work.

GBamber’s avatarI’ve been so busy that I just now read chapter 5 and my god! I love Kunieda Saika so much! Great job guys :)

I can never forget the title story! I have one of the pages from that story in large format as my desktop at work. I find both characters very touching. Thank you ever so much for scanlating it and introducing me to it! I’m really excited to read the remainder of this volume.
Saika Kunieda is one of my favourite mangakas. Memory of the Future (Future Lovers 1 and 2) and Bannin are also on my list of books that I could-read-the-words-and-stare-at-the-illustrations everyday list!

This’s my favourite mangaka. Thank you so much for good work :)
