He’s selfish and his kind gestures are not something the guy next door couldn’t offer. Hers is similar to shallow love built on physical attraction. I would have understood if he treated her with care while they were together but he just keeps on giving her bad memories while trying to be oh-so-mysterious with his past love. I know we can’t let go of love so easily but I just don’t get where Nana’s persistence is coming from. And I have to applaud her for being able to let Yano go and realize her stupidity by the end of 15th volume. Even Yamamoto turned out to be more developed a character than her! At least Yamamoto had the shitty attempt to change herself with cosmetics. So when I realized that Nana is not moving forward, I started to hate her too. I even hate the fact that Yano scores high in exams even if he sleeps in class. Takeuchi is kind and handsome but, for some odd reasons, he just keeps losing to Yano. But he just isn’t! He isn’t that handsome either. I would have understood the attraction if he was like Kazehaya of Kimi ni Todoke. Why does everybody love him? It’s not just logical for someone to be charismatic while maintaining such arrogance. But for the life of Peter, it is not just possible for her to hold on to that feelings for such a long time with such ridiculous takeoff point IYKWIM. Even after knowing about what Yano did to his ex-girlfriend’s sister. And we all know that love is crazy so it could be possible for her to feel that ‘something’. This is sad but she fell in love because of the simple fact that Yano smiled at her. But, somehow, at the rooftop, after their small talk and Yano’s smile, she suddenly feels something. Why DID she fall in love with Yano? She told her classmates that she was different. Go back to chapter 1…or was it 2 when she started to realize that she has feelings for the guy? When her heart went ‘thump thump’ with all the flowery feels and shadings. Why? Let’s talk about Nana’s love for starters. I would have appreciated the angst if it was justifiable but (and yet again) it didn’t work. And yes, at the end of the day, I still hate Yano. The manga just revealed the reasons why such a hateable character exists. Yano thinks he has to punish himself.) It’s tiring. The issue is the same all throughout (Yano can’t trust anyone. Only that it doesn’t escalate the way I imagine it will. Perhaps they were talking about the college and post-grad arc but really. To be fair, I read all 64 chapters of it. I know she put a lot of effort drawing it and making such story line. It's a pretty solemn story.First, I like to apologize to the mangaka for saying such thing. Masafumi ends up liking Nanami and Yuri secretly plots to win over Yano. Yano can't seem to forget his ex Nana who died two years ago and Nanami thinks she's a substitute. The story goes from there to involve Yano's bestfriend, Masafumi, and Yuri, the sister of Yano's ex (Nana Yamamoto). 2/3 of the girls in class fall in love with him but Nana seems to hate him?! Incidentally, a popular guy, Yano Motoharu, happens to be in the same class as Nana. For the lively high school freshman, Takahashi Nanami, nicknamed Nana, this is also the case. The beginning of high school life, also means the beginning of a brand new love life to the girls. The story itself is all about their relationship and friendships that involve them. I think the cover art is very refreshing and simple but pretty. I think the title translates into "Our Existence" and its about a love story between a girl Takahashi Nanami and a boy Yano Motoharu. Bokura Ga Ita We Were There Has anyone read "Bokura Ga Ita" by Obata Yuuki?
