GO TO DMC! GO TO DMC! GO TO DMC! GO TO DMC! GO TO DMC! GO TO DMC! GO TO DMC! GO TO DMC! GO TO DMC! GO TO DMC! GO TO DMC! GO TO DMC! GO TO…

#8 : Bokura ga Ita was definitely one of the better shoujo series I’ve watched since Kare Kano. The whole story was realistic and captivating. Throughout the series, I found myself thinking “hey that’s what I would do” or “hey that happens to me too!” … this happens oh so many times.
