'''''Bokura ga Ita''''' (English title: ''We Were There'') is a Japanese romance manga by Yuuki Obata. It was serialized in ''Betsucomi'', with the first tankoubon volume released on October 26, 2002. The series ended in its 70th chapter, published in February 2012, after several hiatuses.
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.
The series is licensed for an English language release in North America by Creator/VizMedia. It was adapted into a 26-episode television anime series by [=ArtLand=] which aired from July 3 to December 25, 2006. The episodes were released to nine Region 2 DVD volumes by Pony Canyon, with each volume containing three episodes, except the final volume which contained two. The first volume was released on October 4, 2006 and the last on June 6, 2007. A live action film adaptation divided the story into two parts released on March 17, 2012, and April 21, 2012.
In 2005, the manga won the Shogakukan Manga Award for shoujo.

* {{Adorkable}}: Nanami. She can be quite a CloudCuckooLander at times.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: 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.

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.]]
* DefinitelyJustACold: Once they move to Tokyo, Yano's mother starts having pains in her back, which she claims is due to stress. [[spoiler: It's pancreas cancer, already in a very developed stage.]]
