My problem with this manga (and believe me, I really really liked it before), and we can agree to disagree, is that the internal monologueing and the really LONG explanations for what's going on are unnecessary. Obata definitely tries to write about deeper human emotions, relationships and psychological issues. I agree with you that this is a very unique manga and explores themes that are beyond the scope of most manga. Hi.i'm also a fan of Bokura ga ita.i've seen and read the manga up til chpater 61.the next chapter will be released in January 2011,and i'm looking forward.anyway all i've wanted to say is that you are all wrong.how can you not see how special this manga is and what is Yuuki Obata trying to do.I've read manga and seen many anime but none of them captured my heart like Nana and Bokura ga ita has.I think is good that this manga is written this way.it is much closer to reality that way.Honestly i was being tired of all that manga where the main characters end up together after having problems and hardships,but still they've end up together pretty easily and before reading the whole manga you can tell who will remain together with who and so on.Leave all your thoughts behind and start seeing the real value and meaning of the manga.I,personally,ever since i've seen the anime and read the manga,i really can't explain the feeling that i was getting from the story itself.It actually made me wonder seriously about my life,even though is just an comic,somehow is beyond that.You know that a great artist or singer or whatever is that one who doesn't bore you after years of listening their songs and watching their works,painting whatever.For ex: Mariah Carey.i've listen to her song since i was little,years passed and i forgot about her,started again listening to her songs for months,and i've realized even after all this time her voice is getting me and i'm not bored of her,songs,voice,face etc.She is an true artist.These days everybody can sing, very few are those who actually can reach one's heart,emotions etc.All i am saying is that is disappointing to see you all giving up on this manga,being tired,not wanting to know what happens next.This is a great manga.review you thoughts and beliefs once again.or maybe you all haven't figured out the true meaning of this manga and why is Yuuki Obata so slow.i wish you all Happy Holidays and sorry for writing this much. Also I don't believe that anybody is as "good" as Takeuchi is - he's like a saint or something. But with the back and forth back and forth, with Yano, now with Takeuchi, going to give up on Yano, going to keep believing in Yano, wanting to be with Takahashi, staying with Yuri, blah blah blah I'm just annoyed now. It's really too bad, because I used to really like this manga - I felt like it was very tragic in a realistic way with also some nostalgia mixed in. I don't think I even care how it's going to resolve all of it's issues (I'm sure Yuri's going to "let go" of Yano, and then he's going to "come home" to Takahashi). So yeah, I'm bored with Bokura ga Ita, at this point. There were other "deep" and "emotional" and "philosophical" moments in this chapter (AS ALWAYS, seriously Obata Yuuki, I'm getting sick of the philosophy) - Takahashi has a dream in which Yano asks her where is he supposed to come home to? to what? Takahashi asks, but it's a secret.she knows the right answer. Also believe in Yano, and wait for him to come around, no matter how long it takes, give him the RIGHT ANSWER. Lastly, Takeuchi visits Takahashi,and says that he doesn't want to have bad memories of their time together and that they're still friends. When the father tries to leave, Yano stops him saying, you're just going to leave because your daughter told you to? Yuri tells Yano to stay out of it, but Yano slaps her and says that Yuri's ego shouldn't turn her mother into the woman her father couldn't see at her deathbed. Yano goes to the hospital to see (stupid) Yuri (I hate you Yuri) and her mom and finds Yuri angrily turning her father away. Takeuchi and Yano had been drinking together and both are quite hungover.
When she returns to Tokyo, she goes out drinking with Sengenji and other people and she tells Sengenji that she drove by Yano's old house (back home) and nothing was the same (the plants are gone, the curtains are different) and seeing old memories changed, makes giving up (on Yano) easier. I can pretty much sum up the whole chapter in 3 sentences anyway.BECAUSE NOTHING HAPPENED, just like NOTHING HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST 10 CHAPTERS. But after reading the chapter I got so annoyed, I don't feel like translating it anymore. So I originally thought about doing a translation for Chapter 61, raws of which can be found on billwang.
