With You and the Rain
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Living and writing in solitude, Fuji is a novelist who seems pretty comfortable keeping it that way. Then one rainy night, she finds what looks like a dog sitting outside, except this dog hands her an umbrella. Not fetches. Hands. Naturally, she brings it home. That's the setup for this 12-episode TV series from Studio Lesprit, adapted from a seinen manga. Fuji names the creature "You," and things get weirder in the best way when she realizes it can communicate through writing. The show never really explains what You is, at least not early on, and honestly that's part of the charm. It's less about the mystery and more about two quiet beings figuring out how to share a space and a life together. The rain-soaked atmosphere does a lot of heavy lifting here. Every episode feels like curling up with tea on a grey afternoon: the art direction leans into soft, muted tones, and the soundtrack is genuinely calming without being background noise. There's no real conflict driving things forward, just the slow, warm rhythm of daily life between a reserved woman and her strange, thoughtful companion. If you liked My Roommate is a Cat for the "lonely adult finds unexpected companionship" angle, this hits similar notes. Fans of Barakamon's gentle rural pacing or the cozy oddness of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid will feel right at home too. It's a small, quiet show that doesn't ask much from you except to sit with it for a while.

A super chill, cozy slice-of-life anime about a woman and her weird “dog” (that’s actually a tanuki). Perfect for rainy days
Ok, this was one of the most visually stunning anime I have ever scene. The rain scene was majestic. And the bath scene cracked me up. Overall a very comfy and heartwarming episode..
And we have reached the end! I love that we got to see visually stunning panels this ep and the back stories of Fuji and "You". Very good end to the anime. I'm gonna miss it.
Not my favourite episode both visually and storyline wise but I did like seeing Fuji and her friends hanging out, that was fun. And I like seeing more of Fuji's job.
Ok I think this was one of my fav episodes. Not as visually impacting as I've commented of previous episodes but actually getting to know Fuji more, her internal thoughts and struggles was good. I couldn't connect with her previously but this changed my mind.
Honestly, nothing remarkable happened this episode..Still the same cozy and relaxed vibes as before but I kinda felt disconnected from the plot. I did like learn more what Fuji writes as the author and her backstory so that was nice.
Firstly I need to appalled the visuals this episode. The park scene and snow scene were absolutely stunning. Secondly, Im happy seeing Kii-Chan and Fuji's Friends again.
I can completely relate with Fuji's struggling to write and I found it comforting to see her also go try to things to refresh her mind. Relaxing episode, no drama and nothing new.
I really liked this episode. We get to see Fuji's brother and surprisingly his wife. I got to see "You" interacting with a neko that was honestly the highlight for me. Very much a relaxed and cozy episode.
Ep 5 continues with the cozy vibes and comfy atmosphere. I like that we get to see more of Fuji's work life and I honestly love seeing new characters and their reactions to "You". Not my favourite episode.
And so, we've reached the finale. The episode focuses on Fuji as she reflects on all the reasons she loves the rain. Very cozy and calm. This was such a beautiful show and I'm going to miss them, especially You. Overall, this was such a visually stunning and wholesome anime. Perfect for slice-of-life enjoyers.
This episode was fun. It's always so chaotic when this trio is together, LOL. Mimi in particular is so interesting to me. 🤣 Seeing them help Fuji was so sweet, and this was overall a bright and enjoyable ep.
This was a comforting episode. Seeing Fuji reach out to Ren for support was a huge step for her. It's easy to isolate yourself (I relate to this a lot) and watching her open up was nice. This episode highlighted how important a support system is.
Hmm. This episode gave us an insight into Fuji's character. Finding out what she actively hides from everyone explains so much. Watching her try to balance her secret while keeping up appearances is entertaining.
Man, that was so adorable! 😭 Hearing You's little cries was so cute and heartbreaking at the same time. I'm really liking how everyone around them seems to adore You. Fuji and You are just so adorable, and this was so heartwarming.
As someone who used to write (only corny fanfiction though!), watching Fuji struggle was relatable and so real. I loved how You was there to offer quiet comfort. What a lovely reminder that you can always take a break and find your spark again.
In this episode, we get introduced to Fuji's brother and his wife, and watching You interact with an actual cat was so entertaining and hilarious. The pet dynamic is just so enjoyable.
We seem to be meeting a lot of new characters, LOL. The video meeting with the manga artist was honestly relatable and funny. We also get introduced to Medaka and Noriko, and I was surprised to find out Noriko is actually voiced by one of my favorite VAs from back then. Overall, it was wholesome and funny as usual.
Aww, what a wholesome episode! 🥹 I just love the dynamic between Fuji and You. It's so nice to see You have a family now. I love summer festival episodes, and the fireworks scene was beautiful.
This was chaotic and fun! More world-building as we get to meet Fuji's friends, and the gyoza party was so funny and wholesome. Mimi's suspicion is so funny to me because they still haven't fully figured it out. 😭
