For the first half of the series she's a good choice as narrator, but her indecisiveness becomes grating as the series progresses, and she ends up being somewhat of a turnoff. In lieu of undulating more than a sine graph on steroids, the story orchestrates a rather innocent romance between two high school kids, and does so in a practical fashion, which perhaps explains its charm.That said, the gist of the series is told from the perspective of the female protagonist, Takahashi.

The series employs a somewhat odd style of pacing, however, that, despite this problem, managed to carry me through all twenty-six episodes. Thus, when I started to fight off boredom not long after Bokura ga Ita's halfway mark, I knew I might be in trouble. StoryFor those not already familiar with my inexplicable taste for just about any anime with a decent romance, I'll just say that it's not too terribly difficult to pique, and keep, my interest.
