We Were There Part 2 (with Nancy from Shojo Beat)

Covers volumes 9-16 of We Were There by Yuki Obata Ultra super special guest Nancy Thistlethwaite, a senior editor for Viz Media’s Shojo Beat line, returns to do an in-depth character analysis of Nanami, Yano, Takeuchi, Yuri, and the rest of the crew in We Were There (Bokura ga Ita). (Host Ashley and Nancy may talk a little too much about Take, against their better judgment. Stop it, Take! Get out of here! Team Yano forever!) Memories, dreams, and metaphors like the internal compass are analyzed, Yano's t-shirts are harshly judged (Yano! You have better shirts than that!), and Ashley definitely overuses the word “poignant.” But seriously, this manga is really really poignant! LINKS We Were There is available from Viz Media’s Shojo Beat line (obviously!) Other series Nancy has worked on: Vampire Knight, Ouran High School Host Club Outro song: “Kimidakewo” by Mi (opening to the We Were There anime) SOCIAL Follow Nancy on Twitter @nthistlethwaite Follow Shojo Beat on Twitter @shojobeat Follow Shojo Beat on Tumblr Follow the podcast on Twitter @shojoandtell Follow the podcast on Instagram @shojoandtell Follow Ashley on Twitter @AshMcD00 Comments, questions, concerns?
