PITMIL makes the world happy with animation.

Popular manga series by Ai YazawaNANAis currently in its 21st volume.

Many of you may know it as it has been made into an anime and a movie.
And what a game it is! I guess you could call it a love simulation game.

I had it....at first everyone is so unobtrusive and heartbroken.
But I was so desperate to get him to turn around somehow that I did it over and over lol.
It's been a long time since I've wanted to do this, but I don't have any more software or hardware...too bad!

Serialization began in 2000, but has been suspended since 2009 due to Mr. Yazawa's recuperation.
So it's been 14 years already...that's fast.

Since the serialization has been stopped, there must be many fans who are disappointed not to be able to read the rest of the story... Of course, I am one of them. Of course, I am one of them.

In this issue, we would like to introduce the charm of NANA and points to check out.

What is NANA?

It is a story of two people of the same age with the same name who meet as they move to Tokyo, and through them meet and part, and their fates become intricately intertwined.
Two people of the same age and the same name, sitting next to each other on the same train, coming to Tokyo on the same day...it feels like fate, doesn't it?

Although the story is about the relationships surrounding Nana and Nana, there are of course romantic elements as well.
It is nonsense to think that love stories are not so much...!
It's a good thing you don't eat it! It's the kind of story that after a little nibble, you'll want to eat it again the next time!

Next, I will introduce only the main characters. But there are many other fascinating people in the world of NANA, so don't forget that too!

If you have never read NANA.[Points to note.You can read it all the way through without spoilers if you take a look at the

Of course, if you are OK with spoilers, please see the character profiles.

Nana Osaki

She's decked out in Vivienne Westwood accessories and fashions.BLACK STONES (commonly known as Blast)Vocalist ofVIVIAN is a brand with a Saturn motif.

Before moving to TokyoHonjo Lotus (lotus-shaped pedestal of a genus Lotus)They were in the same band and were lovers, but Ren left the band and moved to Tokyo to join another band, and they broke up. However, they met again in Tokyo and got back together.

Nana is the type of person who cannot live without depending on something, always wanting to have someone all to herself and possessive, but also always feeling loneliness deep inside.I thought it was understandable that she was attracted to Hachi, who was the complete opposite of her.

I'm sure there were many kids who adored Nana and Ren as a couple. They are beautiful, they are both cool, and above all, many kids must have been interested in VIVIAN, wanting to be Nana...!

I know, I know! Nana = vivian, right?

Nana Komatsu (now Nana Ichinose: Hachi)

Nana told me I looked like a dog.[Bee].and everyone calls him Hachi.

Nana is a dreamy dreamer who grew up in an ordinary family and lived an ordinary life, but I was envious of how she entered the sparkling world when she met Nana. I was envious of how she entered the sparkling world after meeting Nana...right? You are envious, aren't you?

Hachitaro is not just the wife of a famous band member!

I prefer Nobu to Takumi - I feel tired when I am with Takumi. But Takumi seems happy with Hachitaro, so I guess that's good.

Ren Honjo

He was Nana's lover.TRAPNEST (commonly known as TRANES)Guitarist ofIt is.

I think I'm a little weak-minded (similar to Nana, I guess...). I guess that's why we were together to make up for our loneliness...) I pushed myself too hard, and things went from bad to worse...

Nana and I had a fight and split up, and it stayed that way,Len is a stranger.I'm not sure what happened.

What...? Ren is leaving? Is this true? No way!
I can't believe I'm leaving Nana... it's destroying me...

Nana seemed very dependent on Ren, and conversely, Ren also seemed dependent on Nana.
I was worried about Nana's future because we needed each other and now we were gone.

Takumi Ichinose

Hach's husband, leader and bassist of TranesBut there is also.

Nana especially hates me. She thinks she has been deprived of something she cares about.
This is despite the fact that Nana brought Takumi to Takumi herself as a gift to Hachitaro. Nana's possessive desire for Hachitaro is evident~.

I think Takumi is the type of person who is selfish and doesn't feel comfortable unless everything goes his way.

So I guess she is the same type as Nana - she seems to be possessive, right?
He looks like a difficult guy, this Takumi guy. He has long hair... (← it doesn't matter) It suits him, though.

Nobuo Terashima (Nobu)

Nobu, the heir to the inn, is a guitarist for Blast.It is.

Nana's best friend, Ren's best friend, and Nana's ex-boyfriendBut yes...Nobu is my guess because he gets along with everyone and can be nice to anyone.

Nobu seems like a really nice girl, and I think she is somewhat similar to Nana.

If I were to make him a husband, it would be Nobu, after all, Nobu. He is a wonderful man, such a man of kindness!

I wonder if Nana's child was not Nobu's...I still wonder what the future would have been like if Nobu and Nana had married. I am sure they would have had a happy family with lots of laughter.

Nobu's eyes looking at Nana's child are sad, or how can I say it...it's a sad expression, and it's kind of hard to do anything about it.

Points to note

There are several points of interest in NANA that I would like to bring to your attention.
If you enjoy these things while looking at them, you will surely double your enjoyment.

1. fashion
2. The human condition surrounding NANA
3. facial expression
4. wise saying

These are the four points of interest. Let's look at them in order.

❶Fashion

Ms. Yazawa attended a dressmaking school.One of the points to note is the fashion in the work that is unique to that teacher.

Vivian's accessories, as well as their clothes, and their non-existent clothes are also cute ❤️
Each of them is cute and attractive in their own way.

You will find many cute clothes that you would not be able to wear yourself (I am sure the cute girl reading this can wear them ‼️), so this is another point that you should enjoy watching.

All the girls in the manga are thin, so it suits them. I am envious.

Human patterns surrounding ❷NANA

There are many attractive people in NANA besides the two main characters.
It is no exaggeration to say that without them, NANA and its members would not be where they are today.

Each individual's personality is properly portrayed, and it is clear that they are here now because of this encounter.

I think it is very wonderful to have someone by your side who scolds you properly - someone who tells you that what is wrong is wrong is very important to you.

❸Expression

As you can see, the expressions on their faces at the time are vividly depicted, and there are many scenes where you can feel what they are feeling now, even though there are no words.

I think that is one of the more enjoyable points, because the viewer can become emotionally involved in the sad expressions that seem to be sad or as happy as they can be, or that seem to be heartbreaking.

The sad faces of Mr. Yazawa's works are especially great and draw me in.
I like the sad and smiling expression on his face.

❹Quotes

There are many beautiful words in NANA.

• The further away you get, the better you can see, but the closer you get, the more you lose them.
• It wasn't until I met you that I realized that the world is not so bad after all.
• Let's stop being envious of others, because what's important to you is different for everyone.

These are just a few, but don't they seem to stick in your mind somehow?

There are many pleasant and painful experiences in meeting people, but I am attracted to these words because they come from having experienced them.

Words that you can sympathize with appear at key points, so I hope you will enjoy watching them as well.

Extra Edition - On purpose, you know? ~ (in Japanese)

He says this line because he wants to spend more time with Sachiko, who always wears heeled shoes, even though he has to run to the station after his part-time job to catch the last train.
If I miss the last train, we can still be together.

I think there are people who would be gobsmacked here.This is Sachiko magic!

Is this what you call a "bruised girl"?

Summary [Points to enjoy NANA

How was it?

NANA is not to be underestimated as a shoujo manga; it can be enjoyed by men as well.Let me assure you: ‼️
However, it is not complete, so feelings of bewilderment may arise.

However, I think it is also interesting to imagine what it would be like to have a fantasy (or imagination?) of your own. It is also interesting to imagine what it would be like.

NANA's work is littered with words that stick in the mind.
I think the choice of words unique to Mr. Yazawa is also a highlight.

And pay attention not only to the fashion, but also to the expressions and words of the characters.
There are things lying everywhere that we want to keep in mind.

Step into the world of NANA, where you can enjoy both pictures and words.
You'll be hooked: ‼️
