Summary:This series mainly follows two parallel love stories.Hirono Hiro,a poor high-school student, draws shoujo manga for a living.One day his bike gets stolen by a strange girl whom he later finds fainted on the street.It turns out that the girl,Miyako Miyamura,was using his bike to chase after a man who had just stolen her handbag.Soon after the two of them start hanging out together and Miyako feels an instant attraction for Hirono.But first she has to deal with a rival in Shindou Kei,Hirono's childhood friend who has feelings for him as well.
On the other hand we have Chihiro,Kei's twin sister,who lost an eye in a road accident and suffered from short term memory loss.As a result of this she can retain memories of incidents only upto 13 hours after they had actually happened.One day she chances upon Asou Renji,a shy and soft-spoken high-schooler,in a deserted railway station and the two of them strike up an unlikely friendship.However Chihiro's unique medical condition is a threat to their growing relationship.
A 12-episode series with no filler content and can mainly be categorized as romance.The best part about Ef is that the stories are not entirely cliched and deal with the complications that often crop up in any relationship.Although they could've cut down on a few overtly melodramatic scenes(like the ones where Miyako gets stood up by Hirono and keeps calling him up repeatedly...)
