#Kimi no iru machi manga series

This in particular is something that I enjoy about this manga, it gives us the possibility of a romantic relationship that is both serious, but also in the background. While there is an overarching вЂromanceвЂ™, which I am sure anyone who reads the manga will get almost immediately (lets face it, romance manga arenвЂ™t necessarily the most subtle at times), this relationship is long-term, and importantly happens around other relationships. There are various arcs and the interactions between the characters are portrayed very well. The way the story is told is also quite a nice change. With Kimi no Iru Machi however, while a significant amount of the time is spent during these years, there is an awful lot more that happens both outside of school, but also after school during college and I feel it may go on. Essentially вЂpureвЂ™ romance and relationships can only seem to happen during your high school years in many manga. Very often within manga we will find that romance is contained within this neat little bubble known as вЂhigh schoolвЂ™, and outside of this there is only lust, sex and drugs.

This is one of the major strengths of this series I think we are shown relationships within a framework of not only high school, but also life outside of it. And more accurately, there is not a single romance within the story, rather due to the slice-of-life element I mentioned there are a series of relationships to varying degrees that are all played out over the course of not only the high school years but into college as well. The romance is also quite slow to start off, and in fact I would suggest that rather than being the entire plot, the romance is more like one small section within the story. There are also a significant number of questions about her past as well, most of which remain partly unanswered right the way through the series. What is fascinating is that our introduction to Eba leaves a significant number of questions about her past her connection to Haruto (we find out that she has visited before) why has she decided to come to school near Hiroshima instead of going to one in Tokyo since her family are there (according to Google it is 673km/450m between Tokyo and Hiroshima). There are a few such chapters in Kimi no Iru Machi, however as a story it focuses more on the everyday lives of the characters how the interact, their relationships and their lasting friendships rather than simple dwell on a single romantic relationship. This was a bonus for me since I lam fond of romance manga, but unfortunately there are too many shoujo manga out there where the characters seem to spend the entire time in angst fuelled depression, beating themselves up over simple mistakes. While this story is a romance, it is shounen rather than shoujo. We are however told that she is the daughter of a friend of HarutoвЂ™s father, although this is never explained, so it seems merely a convenient plot device to have them both meeting and living together. Eba Yuzuki suddenly appears in his life she is a pretty mysterious girl from Tokyo, who, for some unknown reason has decided to come to high school in Harutos town, and it is decided that she will live with his family. The manga title roughly means вЂA Town Where you LiveвЂ™, and is about a small town outside Hiroshima, where Kirishima Haruto lives with his friends going about his everyday life of school and chores. Luckily Kimi no Iru Machi by Seo Kouji is a romance manga that is a little bit more than that, and although there is an element of drama and some angst involved, they do not override the story itself. I am a fan of Romance manga think I always have been, unfortunately there is so much romance manga out there that simply ends up with so much drama and angst that they are almost impossible to read.
