Wow I was expecting to hate the series after seeing episode 24 but these last 2 episodes were really some of the most bittersweet epsiodes in anime history. I really want to read the rest of the manga just to know what happened to Yano and continue the journey with these characters. I should not have read the little manga version of the ending because it is making me crazy with curiosity.

I fell in love with the characters from the beginning but wow I never expected them to grow so much. I grew from hating Yuri to feeling bad for her and at first I felt Take was annoying and in the end I realized how mature he was.

I always felt for Yano and I could understand his pain but when he said spoiler[he was going to start protecting instead of being protected, that’s exactly the sentiments a teenage boy going into adulthood feels and I really felt what he was saying. When Yano said that though it looked like if he was kind of scared and that’s understandable going into adulthood is kind of scary but still Yano was gonna face destiny like a man. In the end I felt I was the most like Yano in relationships, in family issues, and insecurity].

Nana also grew spoiler[to understand what love is and I can’t really say too much because she’s still sort of cry babyish but she still grew up to understand what it means to be a girl in love and that it comes with happiness and pain].

Overall I loved the series. The art could have been done better but it was quaint and pretty at times and the music was great all the way through. I loved the insert and ending songs. I’d love to see like an American drama of Bokura Ga Ita or atleast a dub.

I've read summaries on what happens in future manga volumes and wow there's a lot more drama to come, can't wait to get volumes 9 and 10. Volume 11 is barely out in Japan and is in the top 5 manga sales. Looks like there's more Bokura Ga Ita to come!

I'm hoping the manga version gets licensed, I felt so incomplete after viewing the anime ending. I can also understand why they left out the true ending for the first arc. Pretty bitter there. Crying or Very sad

Probably one of my favorite romance series' of all time. Though some call it somewhat melodramatic, life is like that easily as often as anime is. I've been and had friends go through situations just like those or worse than those portrayed in BGA. I thought they did an amazing job of capturing the complexities and bittersweet nature of love in general, especially young love. Though I'm not sure I could handle the sequel, as the manga version becomes even more bitter and sad after the anime leaves off. Still one of my top shows of all time though.
