Bokura ga Ita

Recommended to me by Arcness, and it seems like it'll be good. Triad has released the first 2 episodes for a couple of days now:

"The beginning of high school life, also means the beginning of a brand new love life to the girls. For the lively high school freshman, Takahashi Nanami, nicknamed Nana, this is also the case... Incidentally, a popular guy, Yano Motoharu, happens to be in the same class as Nana. 2/3 of the girls in class fall in love with him but Nana seems to hate him?!"

Lollerskaters, Bud. You certainly was away too long! General Discussion...

Anyway, I was also considering this series, but haven't checked it out. "Drama, Romance, Shoujo, Slice of Life" sounds good for a hopeless fool like me. Yet as it is, I have already quite a few series I'm watching, even with Tokko and Noein just finished.

Despite the incredibly simplistic art, it manages to present everything very well. The delivery is like Honey & Clover, with occasional arm flapping, scribbly faces, but more...normal and serious. The eps are packed with content, reminiscient of KgNE, but feels like 2 eps in 1 to KgNE's 3 in 1.

There aren't any big veterans in the cast either, most of them have little or no experience. It gives the series a more realistic feel for me.

Also, the relationship is not panning out to be one of the types we usually see in shoujo series, which is a huge plus to the credit of this series. There's no "uwaaah," "kakoii" or other fainting associated noises resulting in the heroine relentlessly persuing her target until he succumbs to her in the 8th or 12th episode. Nor does it start with instant hate that slowly develops into deep romance. Nanami doesn't even know who Yano is, dislikes him at first, then she thinks she likes him, likes him more, hates him, and goes back and forth as she learns more about him. It's very unconventional, resulting in a very refreshing feel.

The whole series comes off as very...natural.

I just caught up, and I've really liked this series, very different from the shit that I usually watch. The romance has been pretty good, anyone else still watching this?

I moved back to school and work has already started to pick up, so I've fallen behind. I'm about 3 eps back. I download them, I just never seem to have time to watch them.

I did not expect Yuri and Yano to have had a relationship after her sister died though, that one was a total shock to me.

Well you should catch up, episode 10 I think will be a turning point in the series... I wonder when a relationship between Takeushi and Nana will surface, at least it seems like he's in love with her.
