| It was a bittersweet little story...glad he went back though after 40 years...a long time. 6/10 |
| Really enjoyed this, very touching. |

| Rain Boy's perfected Sage Mode has decent Water Release capabilities. |
 |
| I have to admit it was a sweet short story with some depth to it. And I know this is swearing in the church, but I'm not that fond of Tezuka's style. It looks a bit American to me. Like Flintstones. |
| Touching short tale about friendship and the value of promises. I find the "blurry paint" backgrounds pretty, but the chara-designs are quite ugly (I've seen much better things from Tezuka). 5/5 |
| This story is an extremely touching tale. I felt a powerful mix of sadness and happiness watching this. It is an amazing little story by the legendary Tezuka. |
 |
| I love you Tezuka. Always wonderful works. |
| This was quite emotional. At first, I felt angry when he left the village without giving Rain Boy his boots, but over 40 years later, he finally remembered, and he felt immense guilt. At least he was still able to give Rain Boy a pair of boots, but he wanted to talk to him for longer. My eyes began to water at the end of this. |

| Yeah, the synopsis already mentioned whats goin on. So, well, honestly, its a good story, that told all of those nice little adventure with a rain boy. As they progressed the story, something bad happening, and somehow Mouta ended up broke the promise. I thought it might end up in the sad state, bad ending, making Mouta forgot his promise until the end of his life, and became a miserable old man in the end. But, yeah, its a good ending, as expected as the old kid stories. Even though i am still wanting more story about Mouta as his time skip, so the time skipping time was not my thing. At the end, as a kid story this is really entertaining me, and the end line kinda figured you a good moral lesson. So, as another legend series come from Tezuka Osamu, i am very appreciated this old thing. 7/10 |

| I was so ready to hate the kid when he forgot about his promise. I'm glad it didn't end at the part where he was leaving the village. |
