Nana x Yasu, dunno, Nana is so proud I guess and she thought Yasu didn't belong to her, even they start dating, nana will end up hurting Yasu and herself.

If they would have done something like this i wish they would have done it a lot earlier, instead of when there is only 6 episodes left.

That old Sachiko joke lol

Finally Yasu admits his feelings for Nana.It definitely explains why he's sacrificed so much for the band.I wonder what will happen next?

I really love that old ending,it was nice hearing it again.

Gahhhh I can't get over how much I despise Takumi.

I love Hachiko so much, and she deserves far better than Takumi...

NOBU ;-;

Yasu is the best. Him and Nana would make a wonderful couple. But I do like Ren too. Aghhhh this series is making me insane! And I love it.

nice episode, I liked everything, but I really want to just see the end :| and I don't have enough time to watch it.

(づ￣ ³￣)づちゅっちゅっキス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀)

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

NOO, WHY IS EVERYONE SO STUPID?? NAKUMI ISN'T THE ONE FOR HAPPY NANA, HAPPY NANA IS JUST A STUPID GIRL WHO DOEN'T REALIZE SHE HAS TO BE WITH NOBU!!!
I'm a bit worried about how much I'm into this show, it's getting hard to go back to the real world. This hasn't happened to me since a very long time :/

This whole training camp thing is really cute lol and Nana's miso soup XD

I find it so endearing that Shin emails Reira so much and updates her uwu what a cute relationship. I hope they get together for reals.

Everyone finally connects the dots and realizes that Yasu loves Nana lol knew it would happen eventually. Idk how I feel about NanaxYasu ship because of Ren. It seems like both Ren and Nana are growing apart and growing out of their relationship. It's sad but at the same time it's natural and not something you can help. Also, I thought it was interesting that Nana called herself out for being jealous because Hachiko was living a new life now. I'm definitely thinking Nana was lowkey in love with Hachiko, too. I just want everyone to be happy, but I know that won't be the case.

Wow Takumi actually went back to Japan and we didn't see him go to Stella! I'm surprised

Sachiko Ichinose lmao let's hope the baby's not named Sachiko for Nana's sake.

Didn't know applauders were a thing, or is it just in fiction? Now I'm curious to why mari-san isn't working as a lawyer but as a 'babysitter' instead seems kind of a waste. Also since when is Takumi a magician?!? Will the curse of Sachiko continue to plague Hachi? so many questions....

yasu finally admits he's in love with nana :((( honestly tho with the way everyone is falling in love and falling out of love with each other, i can't say i have a single clue as to who's gonna end up with who by the end of this series.

hachi lets ppl treat her like garbage and then is like ~okay whatever u say mwah (✿◠‿◠)~

good example of this is junko. she yells at hachi, doesn't wanna comfort her on the phone, takes shoji's side & sits there while hachi cries, doesn't want her in her house, constantly acts like she's annoyed by her, talks down to her, etc etc. what kind of best friend is that??? she treats hachi like garbage and hachi is still like ~okeey dokeey mwah (✿◠‿◠)~

can't just throw junko under the bus here because takumi is a pretty garbage person in general. takumi could tell hachi he doesn't actually love her and hachi would just be like ~okeey dokeey mwah (✿◠‿◠)~

At this point, Hachi is going into her own trap willingly. I have to say Takumi is really not sugarcoating who he is. And that girl STILL thinks she will be happy. So bad.

Yup, Yasu is in love with Nana and Nana and Ren's relationship is in some serious trouble. Honestly, I think Nana is not really capable of being in a healthy relationship. She gets quite possessive and she still holds on to that unhealthy grudge over being abandoned for Trapnest. I don't see her being able to share Ren's burden in any immediate future, being focused on Blast's debut and getting Hachi back. Besides, Ren has long stopped being her emotional support as well, she ran first to Yasu when she heard that Hachi is pregnant. I don't think she loves Yasu but in her heart, Ren is someone who is not there for her and keeps abandoning her. And her ominous words, in the end, confirm my suspicion they won't be together in the end.

1. "It's that tendency to let your guard down that lets men trick you." Yes, you'd know all about that, wouldn't you Takumi? The way Takumi is sometimes portrayed comically in this show bothers me. But I guess it's reflective of real life in a way: abusive people aren't always abusive 100% of the time. Takumi can be funny and he does things that can be interpreted as his way of caring, but the way he has a casual disregard for how people feel, the way he always tries to manipulate things and people for his benefit, and the way he has threatened and guilt-trips Hachi always lingers in the back of my mind. There's always a next time that Hachi will anger him, and what will we see him do? He's already r*ped her.

2. Takumi showering Hachi with gifts, going through the motions of married life and looking respectable in front of her relatives, then says she's always going to be a distant #2 while putting the ring on it. At least he is candid about his priorities. But in going through with this marriage, Hachi's going to be giving up the one thing she's always wanted since the series began: being loved. That makes Hachi even stronger in my eyes. She gave up Nobu, Nana (for a while), and her life with Blast so her child can live a better life, and for now it seems like she's found the conviction to go through with this, all the way.

3. Nana and Ren always had fire chemistry but I think those 2 years apart really deteriorated their relationship. In the times where she needs someone, Nana always goes to Yasu. As for Ren, who even knows. He definitely doesn't go to Nana. Kind of a depressing reminder that love is not just a feeling, it's also a verb. It takes time and energy to maintain but both of them have just been on ever diverging paths since Ren left the band. I've seen several relationships fall apart due to this, along with the transition from adolescence to adulthood... Definitely not the anime to watch when trying to escape from life. 😅

4. I still maintain that Yasu is the best person in this show.

5. I don't think Hachi loves Takumi. I think it's something she convinces herself to make swallowing the pill easier. And the fact that the relationship with the middle-aged man when she was in high school and being cheated on by Shouji really fucked her self-esteem up. She's more familiar with men who mistreat her. Nobu was the anomaly.

Hachi bringing back the Sachiko gag was undeniably funny but between that and the first ending being used again is hard not to feel the melancholy of how things have changed without any sight of getting back or even close to how they were before, ugh.

Their interactions with their manager were so entertaining so were Ren and Reira with theirs.

Yasu finally told her, well confirmed her since she's the one verbalizing it because of the rumors but it was so obvious he indulge her a lot contrasting with Nobuo who calls her out when is needed; Nana always feel at ease with Yasu but that is probably drived because she saw him as friend if they were a couple maybe things to her would change? Or maybe I'm just expecting the worst because they would be perfect for each other and I don't see the show wanting that type of couple if HachixNobuo or NanaxNana is to go by.

Shin writing that letter is just sad.

Oh, while the Nana x Nana ship is the superior one, the ship of Nana x Yazu would also be super nice to end with, or at least to explore. I am just very surprised with this anime and in a good way, there are love triangles, love squares, love pentagons! It just shows that relationships are always complicated and it is never a black and white thing when you love someone, there is pain and sometimes we restrict ourselves, you will betray someone you cared for due to feelings, and all in all it is just life sometimes. Takumi looks like he hasn't behaved too dangerous lately, the thing he did pushing Nana to have sex with him the other day still proves I wouldn't want to be close to him, but I don't feel so afraid of him right now. Also lol, Sachiko as the name of the baby, that would be priceless, I want to see Shouji's reaction!

I have also gotten some liking to Ren, I thought he was going to be a big jerk and I was afraid of him when he came into the story, but he has turned out to be a nice guy, even, as he says it, a bit numb and cold on things, sometimes you just turn off your feelings.

I even don't hate Shouji that much anymore, even when I still feel hurt with what he did.

Yazu being an asbolute chad as always.

I was reading the comments above and I strongly agree, Takumi is doing an effort to be honest with her since he is putting time and money in the baby and relationship, but she is not grasping the entirety of the situation.
