It was serialized in Betsucomi from April 2002 to February 2012 (though with several hiatuses during its run), and compiled into 16 volumes.The story follows newly-turned high school freshman Nanami Yamashita, who joins a class mesmerized by the extremely popular Motoharu Yano. At first, she despises his carefree attitude, but soon she falls in love with him. However, once she starts to discover what's beyond Yano's cheerful exterior, she encounters a deeply wounded young man who stopped believing in love after a traumatic incident regarding Nana Yamamoto, the older sister of resident bookworm Yuri Yamamoto. A seemingly innocent romance will soon develop into a tearjerker story of betrayal, loss, and over everything, love.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series is licensed for an English language release in North America by Viz Media.

| We Were There (Manga) / int_1d2400e9 | comment |
Green-Eyed Monster: As seen when Nanami gave his best friend a phone decoration and he reacted by yanking it off his friend's hand and throwing it out the window. Turns out he threw a peanut instead and kept the decoration, then returning it to Nanami. Actually a deconstruction, as Yano has a reason to be so jealous as his deceased ex-girlfriend cheated on him even after she promised not to do so more than once. | |

Love Hurts: One of the central themes of the story, with the poor Nana being a Love Martyr. It's a good thing she doesn't take shit back after a while. | |

All Love Is Unrequited | |
| We Were There (Manga) / int_7a82c3d2 | comment |
All Love Is Unrequited: Nanami fears at first that her feelings for Yano are unanswered because he still holds feelings for Nana. Yuri has had a crush on him since middle school, and Takeuchi spends most of the series trying to convince Nanami to date him. Also, Akiko had a crush on Yano when they were in high school, but by the time they become adults it's since faded. | |

Deconstructed Trope | |
| We Were There (Manga) / int_8aa0f76 | comment |
Deconstructed Trope: Yano's jerkass antics do have a reason, albeit not justifying his outright abusive behaviors at Nanami. Turns out his ex was a jerkass herself, often lying and cheating at him even after promising not to do so. Not only that, but he's also the bastard child of the husband of one of his mother's friends and was told all his life his father was an Olympic swimmer when in reality he was dying in a hospital. Given his mother is not precisely mature, she is often acting compulsively and thus has left him to keep his stuff to himself. And then his only real friend falls for his girlfriend and tries to steal her from him. No wonder he has trust issues. | |

Not So Stoic | |
| We Were There (Manga) / int_a8a4b41e | comment |
Not So Stoic: Yano, yet again. This goes hand-in-hand with donning the Stepford Smile. As an example, he breaks down crying upon being confronted by Nanami to let out any feelings of remorse against Nana. Which, given instead of remorse was longing, made the two break up, and with reason. | |
