Nana 10
June 26, 2008
I was a little bummed because this volume was a bit of a rehash of stuff we already knew. But seeing as how it was a new volume of Nana, I still ate it up on every page.
Again, it’s always hard to talk about these things without spoiling them. Both Nanas are in this volume, and both have pretty significant roles, but I think that Nana rather than Hachiko probably figures more prominently since the most major event in the volume affects her directly. Hachiko is in it a lot, though. With so much stuff going on, my favorite scene was at the end when Takumi came back to see her and made her play a choosing game. I know Takumi is a huge jerk, and is supposed to be, but it’s nice how much he can be humanized. I’m still not entirely sure what his deal is, though.
The Sachiko joke came back for another round. I don’t think it will ever get old.
I also don’t think the unique relationship between the Nanas will ever get old. It really is what I like best about this series.

I actually did pick up Skip Beat finally, and I love it. I’ll admit to liking Nana better, but I’m definitely not sorry I started Skip Beat.
