About the series
Spanning 16 issues from 2008 to 2013, We Were There is a tender, long-running shojo romance series from Viz Media, most closely associated with creator Yuuki Obata. The story follows the quiet, introspective high school student Nanami Takahashi as she navigates first love, heartbreak, and the weight of memory with the enigmatic Yano Motoharu. Obata’s delicate, emotive artwork captures the bittersweet ache of adolescence, making this a quietly essential read for fans of grounded, emotionally resonant manga.
