Haruto Kirishima lived a calm life out in the countryside, away from the fast-paced life of the city. Then Yuzuki Eba appeared in his life out of nowhere, having come from Tokyo to briefly live with her family. Their time together left him enamored with the memories of that short period before she just as abruptly disappeared from his life, and left him full of questions.Kimi no Iru Machi begins some time later, after Haruto moves to Tokyo to live with his sister, in order to pursue a career as a cook. In reality though he wishes to be with Yuzuki. Things don't start good though. When he arrives he is mistaken for a burglar and attacked by his sister's neighbour Mishima Asuka. After the misunderstand is cleared his feelings begin to waver though. Is Eba, who keeps avoiding him for seemingly no reason, the one for him or is it Asuka?

As a pretty big fan of Seo Kouji's works (Suzuka, Kimi no Iru Machi, Fuuka), I can't hate too much on any of his works getting an anime adaptation. However, I would definitely recommend to read the manga before watching this anime (and OVAs) as this adaptation rushes through the plot points at light speed. It also skips the first part of the manga in Hiroshima and instead presents it in broken up flashbacks in the various episodes. This actually doesn't work too bad for a previous manga reader as it put a different spin on the material and we are able to get through a lot of the important manga content, but you definitely don't feel quite as connected and invested in the characters and their relationships if you only watch the anime at its fast pace. I definitely recommend checking out the OVAs though as they cover different parts of the manga not really covered too well by the show. The 4th/last OVA in particular covers the events of the final manga chapter from the point-of-view of Yuzuki and offers anime-original material that complements the story quite well. tl;dr Read the manga first before watching this.
