Description

On Christmas Eve, Hiro Hirono runs into Miyako Miyamura, a frivolous girl who "borrows" his bicycle in order to chase down a purse thief. After Hiro finds his bicycle wrecked and Miyako unconscious, the two unexpectedly spend their Christmas Eve together, and when they discover they go to the same high school, their accidental relationship develops even more. This sparks the jealousy of Hiro's childhood friend Kei Shindou, whose pure approach to life catches the eye of Kyosuke Tsutsumi, a womanizing photographer searching for something profound.

Elsewhere, Renji Asou, a boy who dreams of being a girl's knight in shining armor, has a chance encounter at the abandoned train station with Kei's twin sister: the overly shy Chihiro Shindou, who spends her time reading alone. The two quickly become friends and eventually decide to write a novel together. However, when Renji discovers Chihiro's secret, a disability that causes her to have an eternally ephemeral memory, his childish ideals will be put to the test.

Guided by two mysterious adults, these youth's relationships intertwine in a heart rending tale of love, rejection, acceptance, and memories.

It seems to me that these "Stories" are not deservedly little known, on the other hand, not everyone is a fan of dramas. For example, I don't like them, but Clannad and Efs forced me to create exceptions. The Efs are filled with the mysteries of human hearts, secret feelings covered in a fog of understatement. For two seasons, we unwrap the tangle, not even suspecting what tragedies await us ahead, and which even sadder ones are hidden in the memories of the characters. All this takes place in a truly magnificent graphics with its own original approaches to the image of the essence. And yet there is one flaw – they crammed too many characters into the 24th episode, which is why they had to catch up with events and many angst moments with girls look too unnatural. But even so, this is the second successful drama in my memory.

Лучше бы автор показал истории людей несколькими сезонами) Так было бы проще воспринимать их, а то из-за скачков сложно погрузиться в атмосферу всех историй.

Этот сериал просто шедевр, и могу сказать, что второй сезон мне понравился даже больше. Раскрыты такие интересные истории, персонажи.... капнули так капнули, но как красиво, драматично... Вот по истину без прошлого нет будущего....
