Bokura ga Ita

Description

The start of high school life. To the girls, that also meant the start of their love lives. For brand new first year student, Takahashi Nanami (Nana for short), it was no different... She happens to end up in the same class as the incredibly popular Yano Motoharu, who rumors say that two thirds of all the girls are guaranteed to fall in love with. But will that hold true for Nana, who says that if she had to choose between like or dislike, she'd say she dislikes him!?

Note: Won the Shogakukan Manga Award for shoujo in 2005.

Heart breaking .

This manga brought me to feel so much pain . it's slow paced but that's what makes it so realistic .
every time i see Yano's expression , my chest feels pain .
i'm hoping for a happy ending , but since this manga says 'tragedy' i'm scared for the ending . but who knows , i mean . Hopefully it doesn't go overboard and make me not want to read it anymore .

Mixed feelings.

As I read it, each page was depressing. I can feel the pain of Yano and especially Takahashi. I really feel bad for Takeuchi 🙁( poor boy. I was so stressed reading it to the point I cried because it was really too much to handle, the situation, the burden, and their pain.

I recommend it for shoujo lovers and whatnot. It's memorable, and I ended up being fond of all the characters (even though I hated a lot of them in the beginning haha ^^')

Tbh, I found the first half of it to be pretty irritating because it felt like it was going nowhere. There was too much drama which just kept repeating itself in different, but generally the same forms.

Then there was the second half. I thought it to be an improvement from the first since it seemed to finally be going somewhere. I personally liked it more than the first half, and I guess that's why it didn't turn into something I hate.

had high expectations for this...had it on my list for quite a while and finally got around to it. I've read better...hint of realism in Yano's story, much more than the rest anyway, which was fantastic but that wasn't enough to make up for the entire manga.

Betrayal at its best, or is it not?

Just a heads up, I watched the anime and then continued from there.
At first, I thought "the description makes it seem so cliche".
This is quite a good slice of life manga, as for tragedy.. meeeh it is not bad.
I am glad I ended up reading the manga/watching the anime. The lead can be quite annoying at first but hey, it is slice of life. I cannot complain. This manga expresses many problems that occur in real life. Some mangas have such a unrealistic plot for a slice of life, this is something you can relate to. It makes you think are there really people out there with the same problem? Instead of 'Wow, this is so unbelievable'. I am not saying it happens all the time but it can happen.
Every relationship has obstacles; relationships take a lot of effort. Honestly, this quote can relate to this manga a lot.
"When you accept somebody you accept their past too. Don't hold it against them later."
The past is very important in this manga; they have problems accepting what happened in the past so they can move ahead, but hey, it is like that for most relationships. People can change you know? The lead tries to forget about their past, but it is hard. Just like real life, you cannot just ignore the past but you can try.
All the way through, I never thought 'Isn't that a bit overboard?' you can understand everything, you can relate to it. When you are in love stuff like this can happen, some people can be more loyal than others.
I swear if I continue, it will end up in spoilers so... yeah! I believe it was worth reading.

Wow...I can't say how much I love this manga. At first, I read it because I saw a preview of it in a shoujo beat preview book which they used to have...but anyways, I didn't particularly love the art or the story when I read the first chapter, but I'm sure glad I decided to continue it. It started out really light-hearted and cute, and I instantly loved the characters--Nanami, Yano, and Takeuchi. They were all very loveable in their own ways. And I kept reading, because everything about the story/characters seemed very realistic to me, even though at times the plot went by really slow that it killed me. But it's a slice-of-life, and things do/can progress slowly in real life, and I think that's what makes me love this manga so much. There were also many beautifully drawn/written scenes that tugged at my emotions. The mangaka is very skillful at that...sometimes I would cry just because the scene was so simply drawn, yet it was so calm and beautiful, and even if there were only words, the words meant a lot. Like UsoSora said, it makes me feel serene. I don't know how to describe all the feelings I've felt reading this manga, but I definitely cried a lot, and it did hurt to read it at times. Also, this manga does make me think a lot, like the last few pages of the last chapter. Because the manga started when they were 15 and ended when they were 25, it made me think how much times passes.

Well all in all, this is also one of my favorite manga because it had so much depth and so much emotions in it that made it realistic and relatable. By the way, the ending was beautifully written, and I definitely recommend it to those who enjoy stories that are realistic and not some cliched and cheesy story with no depth.

Pissing me off

I'm so sorry but lately I can't stand this manga. I keep reading it because i want to know how it ends for de couple, but it is unbearable to me to wait one or two months to read the next chapter and get bored to death while reading it. All they do is think and doubt, think and doubt, no action at all.

I use to love this manga but... seriusly it makes me feel kind of angry right now. It's a shame.

The art is beautiful, the romance is sweet.... everything is great.
Until the author started pushing everything off a cliff into a depressing pit of darkness..like the manhwa cynical orange.
Are you that desperate to make your manga fit in the tragedy category? At first it was a breezy highschool romance/drama manga and now its TRAGIC depressing aaaaaaggghhhh. Also, it is not a good idea to make your readers hate your characters.

SUPER LOVE.

i freaking loved this manga. it's my 2nd favorite shoujo manga. i really like nanami. she's really innocent, she's not really dumb. but i love her. i LOVED yano. ahh..my expectations for a guy just got higher. i like how childish he is, i like his smile, i like how sometimes he seems mature, i like how he's popular, i like how he's serious in relationships, i love everything about him. though it's not too original how there's another guy who likes the main girl character, well, for me, there always has to be one. or else, how is it going to be interesting?

sadly, (seriously, really, annoyingly) sadly, the manga stopped in the middle somewhere, so i couldn't read anymore. that's probably the reason why it's my 2nd favorite manga. i don't really skip because, i cant really explain it well. i can't keep going on with the story if i'm missing out on something. something important might've happened. there must'v been a part where i could've gotten my heart beating really fast.

i seriously wish someone would just fix that part -_-. if only.
