Celebratory visual by original author Haruka Kawachi:
The manga ran in Kiss magazine (Kodansha) from November 2014 to November 2025. It has 73 chapters in total. The 14th and final volume was published today in Japan. Kodansha USA announced that it will release Rainy Day Serenade in English in fall 2026:
One of the most-requested Kodansha manga of all time finally arrives in English! From the creator of Natsuyuki Rendezvous comes an exciting timeslip romance in which a modern high school girl masquerades as her lookalike in the early 20th century while navigating a complicated web of familial ties and intrigue.
On rainy days, Hina has dreams about her younger self playing with a mysterious boy in a garden she’s never seen before—until, by chance, she stumbles upon the place. There’s a young man there, Takaaki, who mistakes Hina for his fiancée Hinako. He whisks her back to what he thinks is her home, where Hina’s doppelganger is waiting, and Hina realizes this isn’t the Tokyo she left behind but Japan in the year 1907! Is this all a dream or something much stranger?
