Kimi no Iru Machi (2013)
君のいる町

Kimi no Iru Machi

Eba moved from Tokyo to a countryside to attend high school. her father arranged for her to live with Haruto, whose father was an apprentice of his. Haruto was furious for he never agreed to let Eba stayed at his house. while he continued to reject Eba, another girl named Nanami often came looking for Haruto, whom Haruto seemed to be in love with. Eba was an extrovert teenage girl who was keen on making new friends, while Haruto was a self-conscious teenager that tend to keep to himself.

the series applied the style of using flashbacks in contrast with the present, which turned out to be quite a drag for us who hadn't read its manga. without detailed backdrop and introduction, the series felt rushed and at times, confusing. after more than half of the episodes, it was easy to see that the storyline was actually very simple and straightforward. instead of being a common romance, the series was unexpectedly twisted for a love story, which could be quite depressing as a whole.
