Kimi no Iru Machi
(A Town Where You Live )
(A Town Where You Live )
A love story set in the same universe as Kouji Seo's previous work, Suzuka. Haruto Kirishima and Yuzuki Eba suddenly reunite some years later after being childhood friends. Can a girl from Tokyo adjust to rural life in the Hiroshima Prefecture, especially living with Haruto?
Genre: Comedy, Slice of Life, Romance, Drama, High School Life
What to Expect:If you were a fan of Kouji Seo's previous work, Suzuka, you will not be too far from home here. The art style and general feeling of that series is present here as well. The OVA at least sort of places you in the middle of the manga timeline so if you have not read up to that point, you may be lost on the plot. With the OVA, the timeline starts at around the time Yuzuki moves back to Tokyo and Haruto decides to see her during his school trip to Tokyo.
This series gives a glimpse into high school romance, and the happenings of destiny and fate. One wonders if first love is meant to be. The drama has the same level of emotional tension prevalent as in Suzuka; one can expect many heart-wrenching moments.
How is this Inspirational?
The anime and manga highlight the importance of childhood friendships and how chance encounters may very well rekindle themselves into adulthood. How a friendship can slowly blossom into love. The lengths as well as physical and emotional distance that two people must travel for a relationship to thrive over the years.
