Takao Akizuki is a 15 years old boy who has lived his life dreaming to become a shoemaker and often skipped school every time it rains. He always stayed at the garden shed to sketch his shoe design.
One day he saw a well dressed woman, drinking beer with some chocolates, staying in the same shed. The woman caught his attention after she said some Tanka (Japanese poetry) and whenever it would rain they would meet at the usual place which resulted for them developing an unusual feeling.
