Nana

I still dream of the manga will finish if the writer Ai Yazawa can not finish it I would love to just read the ending I can collocate picas from here and there but still the end if Nana will ever return to her friends, Tokyo or not still a mystery within Maybe Hachiko son with Nubo (Ren) will meet her by coincidence and she will return with him to Nana back home, who knows I wish Ai Yazawa will just tell us or just release the ending in writing without any drawing will be helpful.

I hope she read this too to know how are we still waiting for a long long long time and just wounding when is the end coming.

:(

Nana is a series, where you get to really know each and every character with their flaws and strengths. If it's love or hate, you really understand them because they are so well fleshed out.

It makes them feel so real that every interaction between them hits you hard, if it's in a happy, funny or sad way, often it's devastating.

All that is only possible with the brilliant character writing from Ai Yazawa.

The songs are phenomenal and how they integrated them in the openings/endings is wonderful.

I can only hope that the story will continue and find its conclusion someday.

One of my all time favorites.

This anime tore into me deep. I related so greatly to the characters, I felt almost as if the things they experienced, were also happening to me. Particularly, the relationship between the two protagonists, left me shocked. There were so many moments that were poignant and sorrowful and others that were pronounced and light. While watching, I couldn't help but wince as characters made bad decisions, but I also understood them and saw myself making them as well. I will say I am saddened by the long hiatus from the manga and show as the creator Ai Yazawa is ill. I do hope that they animate the panels from the manga that haven't been animated yet, because there is quite a big event towards the last published release. A criticism that can be seen within the show however is that it does lean into queer-baiting, while maintaining and show based around hetero relationships and the friendship between two women. Whether or not this is for sure queer-baiting is yet to be seen since again the show hasn't been completed.

Nana is the best anime in its genre. Nothing will ever top the emotion poured into this show, and did I mention that it has the most beautiful soundtrack? I still listen to all the songs six years later.

To everyone telling the ending wasn't good: This isn't even an ending, it's just the mid part of the anime. This show needs a season 2 to answer many questions of audience.

Now to enjoy this show thoroughly, you must read manga so you will understand what ending is going to lead to(coz manga was halted halfway due to writer's health issues). Only some chapters feel missing in manga and many things seem to be sorted out. Go watch this anime, read manga and you will have experienced one of the most mature and realistic show.
