Nana, Volume 17 Book

Gah, so many feels! I think the real beauty of this series, apart from the awesomeness that is Nana and Hachi's friendship and showing how it and they have changed over time, is showing that no relationship is as clear cut as it seems. People have their own stuff going on in their lives, and this means they relate to others and react differently to situations. I guess, what I'm trying to say, is that this series really shows that everyone is fighting their own fights, so try to be a little kinder, a little more understanding. Even Takumi, who I really didn't like at first, is SO complex. He takes care of his band and Nana in the same way as Yasu, but does some really questionable things as well.

My favourite parts from this volume:
-Hachi and Ren trying to find Nana together.
-Nana and Hachi FINALLY seeing each other again, making Nana SO happy and everything wonderful!
-That scene where Nana and Hachi are sleeping in bed together, and Ren and Reira are hugging in the park at the same time.
-That scene with Takumi and Reira as children - SO many conflicting feelings!
-JUNKO AND KYOSUKE MAKING AN APPEARANCE.

"I feel the same way about Nana and Miu. I feel the same way about all my friends. To me, the exact relationship between me and someone else doesn't matter much. But people want to label everything, so I guess I seem indifferent in that way." - Yasu

"Even when Nana doesn't act how I want her to, even if she ends up with some other guy, I want to be a sensitive person who always cares about her." - Ren
