One of the greatest aspects of Nana are the characters.
Ai Yazawa has an exceptional talent for writing incredibly human characters. This makes it particularly hard to dislike any character because their motivations, beliefs, backstories and ideas are either relatable or understandable; but above all else, exactly like that of a human being. Each character is unique, possessing positive and negative traits. This makes it impossible to view any character as exceptionally good or exceptionally bad. You are given a plethora of excellently human characters whose next decisions you can confidently analyse and still nervously wonder what they will choose to do. This adds to
...
the excitement of Nana as the story wraps around you and engulfs you in the universe.
Nana spectacularly tells a story of friendship between two women named Nana throughout all 47 episodes. Yazawa weaves romance in smoothly and uses it to further demonstrate character traits, motivations and personalities. This is especially refreshing because the story isn't sugar-coated by the 'magic' of love. One of the reasons I love Nana is because it doesn't present romantic relationships as the solution to all things. Everything presented in the story is necessary to understanding and developing the characters. The story will resonate deeply with you and you'll find yourself relating to a myriad of characters and the choices they make.
Overall, Nana is a masterpiece. The characters, story, art and sound are all 10/10. You will find yourself immersed in the world that Ai Yazawa has crafted. I highly recommend you watch Nana.
