Our Dear Tamura-kun

Watashitachi no Tamura-kun is a light comedy/romance manga about Yukisada Tamura and his relationship with 2 girls in his life, Komaki Matsuzawa and Hiroka Souma. Read the synopsis for more details, :P The mangaka does an excellent job delivering the story from beginning to end. Watashitachi no Tamura-kun is short and simple, yet has powerful, realistic characters that you can relate to. The story is simple and satisfying. There are no intricate branches of plot or created plot holes. This is a straightforward, romantic story about a small love triangle and the feelings associated with such things. Nothing great by itself, but with great character interactions anddevelopment, and many lighthearted scenes, it fits Watashitachi no Tamura-kun perfectly. The art is drawn in a light, casual style. The backgrounds and characters are drawn very well, and I have nothing to criticize. The mangaka did an excellent job. Overall, Watashitachi no Tamura-kun was a very enjoyable read, and I definitely recommend checking this 20-chaptered manga out!

Really everyone that likes a good romance story should read this! Really! The plot is not complex or anything, but the way the mangaka tell it, is just so amazing that it can get everyone to cry. The character development was really good, they overcome difficult situations and learn wit their mistakes. I had an amazing time reading this manga, while reading the last chapter, I eventually caught myself in tears because of the story. It's really amazing, and my score for this manga is a solid 10. Anyway, I recommend this for every single people that like Romance+School Life+Shounen. Thanks and I hope youguys enjoyed my review (Ps.: Sorry if there are any mistakes in the text, I tried to put my feelings into words after reading this.).

The story is quite good, in that the two female main chracters both have their respective deep problems, and the involvement of the male main character, who helps them get on with their lives despite those problems, along with help from side characters in the story. The 4 side stories are also pretty good, and the 3rd extra chapter: Secret Melancholy was especially enjoyable, with some trademark terms from the original 20 chapter story. Story:8 The story was good in its description of sad events, but soemhow lack sophistication in the consequences of the sad events. For example, not much was shed on how Masazuka lived herlife after she left Takuma and after her grandmother died. I would have thought that more scenes could shed her feelings and thoughts at the time, but instead when she met Takuma again it was as if those stuff were not important to her at all, although she had mentioned she missed Takuma jogging with her before she left for a long time. And the part where Masuzuka's postcard was too soon imo, there never was much progress between the other 2 main characters to have that much of an impact on. Art:8 Nicely drawn, could understand most panels as well. Character:6 Like I mentioned in the story category, the characters were not defined that well. Although Masazuka's past and weird words (about the moon and such) were explained well, I didn't get much of her personality, same goes for the other characters. Enjoyment:9 The main story was quite enjoyable, but I think the extra chapters were a little more enjoyable. I enjoyed the romance scenes, as well as the slice of life parts. Overall:7 It's worth a read if you like romance mangas, but the ending is a quite ambiguous. Overall, it is a good read though. I do feel kind of unsatisfied that there is sort of a "waiting" aspect to Masazuka's and Takuma's love... and that it seems like they have a lot of time to waste, assuming that feelings will stay the same and no unfortunate events will happen. A recommendation to this series would be Toradora!, since they are both from the same author and both have similar genres.

Watashitachi no Tamura-kun is such an underrated manga. It is fantastic! I found this manga because of the author of "Tiger X Dragon" and "Golden time", I really like the story made by this author and didn't deceive me at all! To be honest, the love triangle in this story is such a masterpiece, I know some people really don't like this ending and some really like it. The main character (Tamura, Yukisada) hesitated between 2 girls and he made his decision and gave up one of them. Many people think the main character is such a coward for making theses two girls sad but I think it'sa very normal behavior for him to act like that. In real life, it does happen to love two girls in the same time but you know you can't choose two of them and you have to make a decision, even so you're still not able to make a decision because you just can't give up one of them. You don't want to make any of them sad, you want to be with them both and the best way to make them happy is to concentrate on one of them and make things clear. The main character was still in junior-high school, he doesn't know how to act about it. Especially if there's a girl beyong them which happened many thing between you, loved you, made a promise but you have to separate from each others. You don't know if he/her still likes you, you don't know if this feeling is fading away or will you still feel the same when you meet up the person again? You're confused, you don't understand your feeling. Especially if you met up another girl you love and many story happened between you and her too, it's a very hard decision to make. In conclusion would you choose a girl that happened many event with you, over a year and made promise to meet up again but you don't know if she still likes you OR a girl you met not long but many thing happened between the two of you too and you know she really love you. It's a very hard choice to make especially if you love both of them. I really loved the ending of this story, he made it clear, told them the choice he chose. It really hurt when you have to abandon one of them if they are both important to you and it hurt for the one who got abandoned too. But he still showed his courage, he doesn't want to make them sad and making them wait anymore. Yes, it is very cruel for the one he gave up but it's the best choice? instead of waiting for him forever without a answer, it's the best wait to release her from this pain.
