2 stars may look like I did not like the manga, but I did. It is a dramatic shoujo, way more than I thought, and it was OK. I guess I was expecting more as this is one of the most popular manga/anime. Nana is the new girl at school and she tries to get friends. She meets Yano, one of the most popular boys in school, who actually has an interesting, but sad story. His girlfriend, the first one he ever loved, died not long ago.Yano is an OK character, but I could not get into any of the characters. Nana falls in love too quickly (one of the things I hate the most in a shoujo). She just thinks about him, 'He is nice', 'Why do I feel this way?', 'Does he likes me?', and stuff like that. I get that this is a drama-romance manga, but when the whole story focuses ONLY on this, it tends to get a bit tedious. We don't actually 'know' the other people; they are mere background to the story without any real concept/personality... except maybe the deceased girlfriend's sister.The art is very shoujo-ish, nothing outstanding. This review is for the anime...Apparently the way the anime and the manga ends are different--but this review is for the anime...I can't describe Bokura Ga Ita. I've only watched the anime, but still....Anyway, I just finished the anime within the hour that I'm typing this review. I can't describe the way this story made me feel.This was officially the first ever series capable of making me cry. And even though I'm super childish and emotional and overreactive, I don't cry much over books and movies and anything super emotional.And after I finished the anime, I just sat in place and kept thinking about it, even though the credits had already ended and there were no episodes left to watch.Bokura Ga Ita is an emotional love story that WILL tug on your heartstrings! JUST. LIKE. IT. DID. TO. ME!!!!!!!!The author knows what true love is. Every romantic scene in this series was beautiful and it made me squeal about every 15 seconds.I am not spoiling ANYTHING in this review. You, my dear review reader, ARE GOING TO WATCH THIS ANIME AND FEEL ITS WRATH!!!!!Because this series was beautiful. Outstanding. Magnificent. And love things that make me smile, and apparently this series made me cry, but I still love this series.I.Love.This.SERIES!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!And I know that in the future, when I am boarding a train and the person I love is standing on the other side of the window, when the train begins to move, I will not be aware of what is going on around me. I wouldn't be aware if I squashed any innocent fellow passengers along the way, or if what I did next was a total waste of energy.If I'm in a train and it starts to move, and the person I love is standing on the other side of the door, I will run down the corridor in the opposite direction.And if it were the absolute opposite situation where I was the one standing outside of the train and the person I love is inside, then once I see that train move, I WILL run after it.And in both situations, I will cry as much as Yano and Takahashi did.However, I AM FULLY AWARE THAT THE MANGA HAS A DIFFERENT ENDING THAN THE ANIME. So this review is purely for the anime--I still have yet to read the manga.
What do You think about Bokura Ga Ita (2007)?
I've read this twice because it's just so sad :/ but I like it anyway ^^
