She dismisses him as someone much lesser than what people tend to exaggerate and make out of him. But she’s not into all the superficiality which leads to his popularity. That is when they meet and also the moment when she begins to really take notice of him.
Hah! She tries to walk away, embarassed by the fact that she’s the one who needs the consolation. *chuckles* He takes the paper from her and unfolds it to show a perfect score of 100. Being the one who scored higher, she tries to console the guy sitting at the higher level of the rooftop. A paper plane lands right behind her as she picked it up, she sees a big 0 on the exam paper. But as most of the typical female protagonists would be, she’s more on the dim side when it comes to her studies she is first seen on the rooftop of their school as she stares at her first semester exam paper scoring a single-digit score of 8. She’s honest and enthusiastic to make the most of her time in high school she’s the class rep as well. Our female protagonist, Takehashi Nanami (Yoshitaka Yuriko) is portrayed as a cheerful girl who puts on a smile always and wears her heart on her sleeves. I don’t imply that all stories go that way, but a significant number of them works this way. It’s sort of something typical about Japanese movies or Korean dramas for that matter.
Here goes another story of girl-meets-boy and falls in love. People may seem just fine on the outside but you have no idea what kind of wounds map their hearts and what kind of scar taints their souls. A heart wrenching first love for a girl who fell for a guy who is broken in every way, more than you can imagine. Bokura ga ita ( Translated as : We were here ) is a story as such.
But, heart shattering first loves that seemed to have uprooted you and turned your world upside down makes it a more compelling story to tell. It is still a story to tell but we all have this thing for heartbreaking first loves because first loves that lasts are rare. First loves are less memorable when they work out eventually. What makes first loves even more memorable is those that are broken and heart-wrenching in every possible ways. People may just dismiss it as a stupid puppy love but deep down, everyone knows that it somehow matters at a certain point to an extent. First loves are always memorable even if they seem unimportant to others. No matter how insignificant it is to you in the present as you look back at it or whether it was the kind of love you found being the one and only that you can find, it is an important part of you which makes up huge portion of who you were and who you eventually become. There is this thing about first love that makes you nostalgic every time you think back about it.
