From Volume 63 - Chapter 622 / Season 9 Episode 541. Koala has been recently rescued from the villainous Celestial Dragons of Mariejois. But being a slave since childhood, she's unfamiliar with any life outside of it, and the Sun Pirates are having trouble getting through to her that she's safe now. Suddenly, Fisher Tiger takes initiative.
Yesterday, 22 years ago Nana & Hatchi met on a train--thier fate being sealed by the demon lord.
Unknowingly, almost 20 years ago I was introduced to the dynamic world of Ai Yazawa that would shape my life as I know it today.
To be able to create characters exuting the subtle nuances of lives lived is a great feat. I wish I would have known then that this was a playbook to young adult life through in more ways than one.
...maybe things would be different today? But probably not.
NANA teaches us what growth, trauma, heartbreak, and love can look like through mundanely executed, real life, storytelling.
It is a story of chasing your dreams at all costs.
That we sometimes have to make choices out of practicality, breaking our own hearts.
When I first started reading NANA I didn't love it and ironically I was living out my own great love. One fast and one slow. One I now love from a far and one I can love close. It's so funny how our worlds play out in tandem to the stories that shape us. And just as we all hope this story will continue, I hope for the same.
Because to be frank, some things we never get over.
