Watashitachi no Tamura-kun (Our Dear Tamura-kun) is a sappy Slice of Life, Romance, Comedy, Drama that has the characteristic love triangle set-up, but it can be really absorbing and unpredictable.

Just like with your average romance manga of this calibre, the story is told from the point of view of your ordinary teenager named Yukisada Tamura. He becomes romantically involved with two very different girls, during two separate points in his school life and this eventually becomes a problem as the two separate relationships converge. The way the story’s told is rather captivating, because the reader follows the experiences of the protagonist. Seeing how he becomes ... acquainted with each girl, gets to know them and then learns of their troubled lives. Though for such a short manga this certainly went off to a slow start and it didn’t really pick up until the end of the 1st volume. Nevertheless the lack of clichés certainly makes for a great romantic story. That’s what I would like to say however the increasingly sappy romance did lead to an unsatisfactory anti-climax, of a conclusion.

When it comes to the characters, this manga undoubtedly has a great bunch although I have mixed feelings about the protagonist. Sure Yukisada is a normal guy who can act like both an upstanding guy and a total jackass; however his fickle attitude tends to get a bit annoying from time to time. Then there are the perplexing girls: Komaki Matsuzawa who initially felt like a real weirdo & Hiroka Souma who came across as a cold-hearted bitch. What makes them the more interesting has to be the narrative style of writing, because you’ll learn more about them through our protagonist’s perspective.

Well even with such an above average story and characters, the artwork for this manga is rather average. Strangely enough it is the scenery that stood out to me and not the characters, which were quite roughly drawn on the other hand the rough style did help in portraying the characters’ erratic thought patterns.

Overall Watashitachi no Tamura-kun is an absorbing narrative of the romantically inexperienced protagonist, his trials of romance and the hardships that come with it. It’s easy to become totally absorbed from witnessing these experiences, though I had a slight problem with how overdramatic the characters tend to get. It’s quite odd how such a guy ended up with the two cute girls, but the circumstances that got them together are what made the story interesting in the first place. People who enjoy ‘shipping’ would certainly like this romantic set-up, because your favourite heroine may constantly change as you progress. Personally I was pleased with the outcome but disappointed with the anti-climatic conclusion.

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 and ...

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 her ...
