Eba > Others
As a manga reader of Kimi no Iru Machi, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed seeing some of its chapters animated, even if the artwork and production value of the OVA was poor. But for those who are new to this series, I understand that it might have felt rushed and/or confusing. From that point of view, yes, Haruto and Eba's relationship seemed very random and insignificant without the detailed backstory to go along with it. The story actually gets better starting in the next few chapters after the school trip when Haruto and Eba go back to maintaining a long-distance relationship. In a nutshell, these two episodes were decent, but definitely don't depict the better parts of the Kimi no Iru Machi story.
I've already said it a couple of times before but allow me to reiterate it again: this manga needs a TV series adaptation. I believe that, only then, will people able to fully see if they like it or not. A higher budget would also mean more resources can be devoted into better animating the manga. So don't judge the series—whether you liked it or not—based on this OVA if you haven't read the manga; either read it first or wait in hope of a TV series. While I do admit the recent chapters have been getting a bit pointless and filler-ish, the earlier ones were definitely excellent. For me, it's all down to waiting and hoping right now.
