With You and The Rain – Season 1 Episode 4 Recap & Review
Episode 4 of With You and The Rain begins with Fuji's father bringing home matching (and tacky) T-shirts for Fuji and You. But no matter how much he pleads, neither You nor Fuji is interested in wearing them. Fuji ultimately has her way by threatening to tell her mother about his secret smoking habit.
The scene shifts to Fuji arriving home to a waiting You on a rainy day. The two quietly enjoy a peaceful bath together. As thunder strikes, she comforts a frightened You and reminisces about being a quiet child growing up.
The next day, her parents ask if she wants to join them for fireworks. Even though it goes against You's wishes, Fuji asks Kii-chan and her fierce dog if they would like to come along to the summer festival with them.
On the day of the festival, You is relieved to find that Kii-chan's dog won't be joining them, while also trying to escape Fuji's father, who attempts to dress You like himself. 'It's tacky!' says You, holding up a cue card to the devastated old man.
Fuji, Kii-chan, and her family enjoy the festival and all the treats it brings, with You having a blast. Fuji stays back with You while the others head off to find their spot for the fireworks. But just as she's buying a treat for You, he suddenly disappears. Fuji frantically searches for him as the fireworks begin.
Eventually, she finds him along the shrine path and follows him into the shrine, only to realise that he'd brought her to the best hidden spot to enjoy the fireworks. It's just the two of them there, soaking in the peace and beauty of the moment.
The Episode Review
In another adorable episode of With You and The Rain, we delve deeper into Fuji and You's connection. What's striking is how the narrative arc begins with You struggling to understand Fuji, yet ends with him intuitively guiding her to the perfect, quiet place for watching the fireworks.
For a moment, it almost felt like the anime might veer into a mystical twist, with Fuji following the quietly vanishing You into a shrine but instead, it becomes a touching reveal of how well You has come to understand Fuji's peaceful nature and how she finds joy in beauty and silence.
Though the anime doesn't have a central plot or high-stakes action, its episodic storytelling works beautifully. Each episode gently peels back layers of Fuji's personality and her growing bond with You, who brightens her world in the softest and most respectful way possible.
The small moments of comic relief, like the tacky T-shirt gag, add charm without disrupting the serenity the show is built on. With You and The Rain continues to deliver exactly what it promises: comfort, connection, and quiet companionship and it's absolutely working!

Marcus Rashford gets into the action on Barcelona debut as he comes on at half time – but gets subbed after 33 minutes
MARCUS Rashford gets into the action on his Barcelona debut yesterday — after coming out at half-time for just 33 minutes. The Three Lions striker, on a season-long loan from Man Utd, became the first Englishman to play for the Spanish giants since Gary Lineker between 1986 and 1989. 3 3 Legend Lineker said: 'I expect Marcus will do well.' Rashford, 27, helped Barca to a 3-1 victory in a friendly in Japan against local team Vissel Kobe. We recently revealed how Rashford has has rekindled his relationship with former fiancée Lucia Loi. She was with him when he signed for FC Barcelona. The Three Lions ace, 27, and childhood sweetheart Lucia, 26, were together during a photoshoot before he was unveiled as the Catalan giants' latest signing at the Camp Nou stadium. She took his photo, then moved behind him to take another and seemingly checked his shirt before the Man United exile posed beside a traditional red British phone box. Rashford was later seen emerging from the kiosk in a post on FC Barcelona's social media, captioned: 'Hello? Barca? For sure, I'm coming.' The Sun understands that Rashford has asked calming influence Lucia, who works in PR, to help him settle in to life in Spain so he can focus on his football. But they were not seen together until they were unwittingly snapped preparing for his phone box stunt. A source said the pair have stayed close, despite their 2022 engagement fizzling out, and have grown close again of late.

Latitude review — a sophisticated, sedate shindig
'It's good to see so many softies here,' said Billy Bragg, gazing out across a Suffolk field with more than the average density of camping chairs and picnic blankets. With its lakeside stages and literary discussions, its gourmet food courts and art-dappled forest, Latitude has a well-earned reputation as one of the summer's most sophisticated weekends, and rarely has a festival line-up offered itself so politely to the lover of the gentler three-day camp-out. Some Mika with your Snow Patrol? An easy Sunday amble from Elbow to Air? This was a shindig right up your bridle path. • Read more music reviews, interviews and guides on what to listen to next Bragg had read the vale and delivered an hour of lilting country folk balladry, albeit 'still annoyingly political'. A stripped-down Sexuality was repurposed as a trans-solidarity anthem and Levi Stubbs Tears as a condemnation of the identity war's common enemy, 'male violence'. Later, Maribou State laid out a continental breakfast of sonic pleasantries: tropical pop, graceful strings, hypnagogic grooves and bongotronic freak-outs held together by the almost operatic R&B vocals of Talulah Ruby. So sedate was the occasion, in fact, that the comedy tent headliner Greg Davies detailing his distressing prostate issues was among the most punk parts of day one; even in the Second Stage tent, where the Dublin band Sprints howled through visceral post-punk rampages and one chap wandered about in a jacket made from dolls' heads, Feeder tipped their arena grunge cap to the night's headliner with a faithful sliver of Walking On the Moon. • The 20 best UK music festivals for summer 2025 Basement Jaxx stole the day by hosting an intergalactic disco-rave party from a spaceship bridge in a hole in their stage ramp, surrounded by space Valkyries, green-goggled soul queens and gigantic alien triffids. From the sci-fi funk larks of Romeo to a final gorilla invasion resembling a rave up on the Planet of the Apes — this was a blanket-trampling hoot. Sting's headline set, meanwhile, had the feel of a pop-reggae Ted Talk. Miked up so that he could roam the stage, his increasingly theatrical vocals had a flat, undynamic feel, sucking the sparkle from Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic and the air from Walking On the Moon. That said, he didn't scrimp on hits. Message In a Bottle, If I Ever Lose My Faith In You, An Englishman In New York and Fields of Gold ('about my house … well, more of a castle really') were early arrivals, often loosened up with extraneous reggae workouts or mecha-drum interludes. And plenty of Police tracks kept the night buoyant: a shoegazey Can't Stand Losing You, a field-lifting So Lonely and a restrained Wrapped Around Your Finger recast as a stalkerish sister-piece to Every Breath You Take, which was still received — bafflingly — as a smoochy lover's anthem. By a fun, if funkily distended Roxanne Sting had done enough to be crowned king of the softies.★★★★☆ Follow @timesculture to read the latest reviews
