This story got to me.<span style="line-height: 21.484375px;"> I love finding stories I love. They just tend to be a bit more sad than the typical. Sad but hopeful. That’s my niche.</span><span style="background-color: transparent;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent;">I really wouldn't want to spoil anything for you guys . Its based on a novel and a movie of the same name.</span><span style="background-color: transparent;">This is a hundred per cent different story line than all those streamline mangas that I had read so far. a really beautiful plot and the art is so perfect. A must read for anybody. </span></div>

It was nice that she isn’t those whiny and attention deficit heroine but the fact that she hardly ever speaks is agonizing .She just stares at the main guy is a ver creepy manner *shivers* . The guy one the other hand (Kawasumi) is not as bad as her but he is shy alright. T</span></span><span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">he story is slow-paced and is just filled with lots of cute</span><span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"> moments.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Seventeen-year-old Makoto Konno lives with her family in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamanote_and_Shitamachi" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: initial;" title="Yamanote and Shitamachi">Shitamachi</a> area of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: initial;" title="Tokyo">T</a>okyo, Japan. One day, when Makoto discovers a message written on a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackboard" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: initial;" title="Blackboard">b</a>lackboard at her high school, she inadvertently falls upon a mysterious, walnut-shaped object. On her way home, Makoto is ejected into a <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_crossing" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: initial;" title="Railroad crossing">r</a>ailroad crossing when the brakes on her bicycle fail and is struck by a train. She is transported a few minutes back in time to before the accident. Kazuko explains to Makoto that she has the power to "time-leap", to literally leap through time. At first, Makoto uses her power extravagantly to avoid being late, to get perfect grades on tests, and even relive a single </span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">karaoke</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> session for an entire hour, but Makoto soon discovers that her actions can adversely affect others.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Makoto ends up using up most of her leaps frivolously, to prevent undesirable situations from happening, including an awkward love confession from her best friend Chiaki Mamiya. Makoto eventually discovers a numbered <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tattoo" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: initial;" title="Tattoo">t</a>attoo on her arm which counts down. She determines that the tattoo indicates that she can only time leap a limited number of times. Using her remaining time leaps, Makoto attempts to make things right for everyone. Makoto impulsively uses her final leap to prevent a phone call from Chiaki asking if she knows about time-leaping. Due to this, she arrives too late to prevent her friend Kōsuke Tsuda and his new girlfriend, Kaho Fujitani, from being struck by a train when they borrow her faulty bike.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are easily offended by upskirt shots, nudity, unrealistic battle scenes, and oversized breasts, this </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">is not the anime for you. The sheer amount of fan service is rather distracting from the scenario. There are several scenes involving a plethora of women that just seem unnecessary and unrealistic. Definitely a Shounen, HOTD is not for the weak hearted. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">I loved reading it, </span>Zombies<span style="line-height: 18px;"> are my favorite thing and here it was. I read passionately, up until *bang* that two year hiatus. They had only done, like, seventeen chapters and then we where left hanging. Then it came back, had a few chapters and poof! gone again. </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">There is relationship drama, a love triangle once upon a time, genuinely sad moment, and scary moments.</span><span style="line-height: 18px;">One more thing to add, there is no nudity, it uses the Naruto cloud effect to hide "Things". </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">When I first read it I thought it was the greatest thing ever, it was afterall the only Zombie manga at the time that had real zombies. I still think it's great.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 18px;"></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">The only thing that I have against the manga is what I said above (hiatus). It is one of the few manga that is still entertaining when you reread it.</span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Defiantly not your average day at school scenario. And you are in for a lot of booby-vibes. <br style="line-height: 18px;" /><span style="line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 24px;">The basic premise in a nutshell: Kick some zombie ass while boobs jiggle mercilessly.</span><span style="line-height: 24px;"> It could have just had mindless zombie fights and worthless fanservice but it had even more going for it. The characters are fun, if not grating at times and manage to grab our attention in many different ways. All in all, i was surprised at how entertaining H.O.T.D was and how disappointed i am with the stagnation of the series. </span></span></div>

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!?</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> someone ask you that question, who are you going to choose between the one you love or the one who needed you so badly?</span><br style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">This question lies within the shoujo manga entitled Bokura Ga Ita which literally means ‘We were there’ in English.</span><br style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Bokura Ga Ita tells the bitter-sweet love story between a highschool student girl named Nanami Takahashi and the most popular guy in their school, Yano Motoharu. Their sorta budding relationship turns into a serious type one though it’s not easily maintainable. Yano’s past and the complex emotion they bring up makes it difficult for the two to be completely honest about how their feelings for each other. Nanami and Yano must face challenges including jealousy, distance, secrets, third parties, insecurities and many more obstacles before they lead in to supposedly happy ending…</span><br style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">… Or maybe not.</span></span></div>

<div>
<i style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">I love bokura ga ita because the flow of the story is oh so true. The story can be really happened in a person's love life and i can relate into it.</span></i></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">The artwork is not really outstanding and fantastic though it can still be considered as adorable and cute. However, the manga covers are definitely captivating, creating a refreshing and seemingly simple feel akin to it.<br /><br />Yano initially comes off as your typical cool, friendly, class clown who has a nice head on his shoulders and who everyone loves, causing him to be the the heart throb of his class. Nana-chan may as well be the exact opposite of who one would initially think a guy like Yano would be interested in. She isn’t very smart ( well to make it easier - she is stupid), and she starts out disliking Yano because she thinks he’s a haughty jerk. However, she slowly finds herself falling for him and wanting to help him as she gets a little taste of the emotional turmoil he is still in after the passing of his first love, Nana, who died before the start of the story in a car accident with her ex-boyfriend, who was strongly hinted at being less than friendly with her.<br /><br />Yano’s conflicting feelings cause a lot of trouble for Nana-chan since he always seems to be getting caught up in some drama or another with Nana’s family and their affairs, leaving behind Nana-chan which causes a lot of frustration on her part.However, Yano isn’t the only one with problems. Nana-chan does have issues of her own. Because of all the crap with Yano, she was often indecisive and, especially near the end of the series, unconfident in her abilities as Yano’s girlfriend, leading her to let their fights drag on because she is a really stubborn person, only causing more pain to both parties.<br /><br />It is the epitome of a shoujo manga. Love rivals - check. heart wrenching moments - Check. Unending drama- Double check. <br /><br />Looking at Nana-chan and Yano as a couple, though, I have to say, sometimes, I was wondering what was even holding them together. Yano’s problems with the past in the first half and Nana’s lack of confidence in the second half caused a lot of rocky moments where I was, honestly, curious as to why they were even together if they were just going to cause each other pain and suffering and tears. Take, Yano’s best friend, told Nana somewhere near the start of the series that a relationship full of pain and tears is not one they should maintain and continue, and I agree with him….to a point.<br /><br />Overall, I enjoyed Bokura ga Ita a great deal. and the many moments when I cried like there was no tomorrow. I did like the ending because it ended in a spot where their future looked hopeful which was nice because I know how terrible it gets latter on. I think the ending is perfect in the sense that everything comes together and everyone can go home with a sense of relief and happiness because, in the end, everything worked out. However, I’m not necessarily clamoring for an animated end because I don’t really want to sit and watch the characters I’ve grown to like and support go through all the crap they do latter on, so, in many ways, I am content with how things ended. </span><br />

<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8; font-family: inherit;">Ninako is a meek, gentle high school student. She has never been in love. Ninako asks Daiki, who has emotions towards her, about what being in love feels like. She thinks he is a good guy but…? One day, on the train home from school, she bumps into Ren, a popular guy at school. With just a short conversation and his smile, she experiences a new feeling. Just what is this feeling…!? Ninako’s first love is starting!</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8; font-family: inherit;"><b style="line-height: normal;">Review:</b><br style="line-height: normal;" /><span style="line-height: normal;">A first glance, it looks like your average shoujo where there's a really naive girl who hasn't fallen in love in her whole life and suddenly this hot guy appears and it suddenly sparks her interest. And wow a love triangle involving a childhood friend; sound original? No not really. A lot of people at this point would probably go search to read another manga at this point...</span><br style="line-height: normal;" /><span style="line-height: normal;">Although there are major cliches in this story, there aren't many plot holes and the characters were portrayed very realistically in this "it only happens in shoujo manga land" kind of situation. Reading this manga made me realise that the characters are very important to a story; maybe even more so.</span><br style="line-height: normal;" /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=9084967396929104986" name="more" style="line-height: normal;"></a><br style="line-height: normal;" /><br style="line-height: normal;" /><span style="line-height: normal;">Ninako is seen as this pretty naive girl who has absolutely 0% in love but fate suddenly decides to change this and put her on this wild, emotional roller coaster. The way she handles her situation makes her really likeable and realistic (if such a girl existed). Throughout the manga, she keeps true to her feelings and she isn't the type to think:</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8; font-family: inherit;">OMG which one of the hot guys do I like? Hot guy #1 or hot guy #2?<br />My life is so hard blah blah blah. -cries-<br />I think I like both of them!<br />No wait I like the mean one :D</span></blockquote>
<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: normal;">She's a really strong character who always tries do what is right and make other people happy.</span><br style="line-height: normal;" /><br style="line-height: normal;" /><span style="line-height: normal;">Ren (the main love interest) is what we call a really realistic looking hot guy XD</span><br style="line-height: normal;" /><span style="line-height: normal;">(Like his hair follows the rules of gravity).</span><br style="line-height: normal;" /><span style="line-height: normal;">He is described as:</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8; font-family: inherit;">A "...horribly awkward guy who's just now showing himself by having people who accept him...

<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The art is really nice and refreshingly different but it may not look too appealing on the cover</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8; font-family: inherit;">Also, I LOVE how the author chose to let Ninako and Ren’s relationship develop slowly, rather than the opposite. In a lot of shoujo series, the equivalents of these two characters will end up together a lot more quickly. But by delaying the start of Ninako and Ren’s relationship, it allows the author to show how Ninako learns what love really is, and for Ren to learn how to become a better boyfriend. So by the time both of them are ready to date, they are ready for a stable relationship with EACH OTHER, therby avoiding the majority of the angst that plagues less developed relationships. YAY!</span></div>

<div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8; color: black; font-family: inherit;">+ : Characters actually WENT somewhere, relationships and motivations were solid, not forced.</span></div>
