Enfim, Nana Komatsu vê um de seus sonhos começando a se tornar realidade… Seu namorado, Shoji, lhe envia uma mensagem dizendo que conseguiu passar no vestibular, e logo estará cursando a tão sonhada Faculdade de Artes. É hora, então, de arrumar as malas, comprar uma passagem só de ida e embarcar rumo a Tóquio!

Lá, a garota descolada espera conseguir alcançar um de seus sonhos: o sucesso em sua carreira. Ambas se encontram no trem em direção à capital e conversam muito, mas ao chegarem a seu destino, cada uma toma seu caminho.

I retract what I've just said; this is excellent. This manga is incredibly heartfelt and good-hearted. I apologise for labelling Nana 1 as childish; she is simply adorable and adds a special touch to this tale. Her love for Nana 2 also deeply moved me. Why didn't I grab it sooner? This manga follows both the Nana settling in Tokyo and doing roomates stuff.

When r they gonna kiss

[Bookishrealm]

Another cute volume!!! If was so good to see how the two were able two interact with each other. This is probably going to turn out to be one of my favorite manga series.

[richa ⋆.˚★]

I want a leather jacket wearing rockstar roommate with my name and friend too. :(

[Hiba]

Now I'm asking myself why didn't I start reading manga before now!? I never thought it would be this much fun.
This volume included the two Nanas departure to Tokyo and how they're trying to settle down after they've found a house together.

[☾❀Mirelle✩]

Not the strawberry glasses 😭😭😭😭

[ana]

which of these characters is the first to make fun of me for being bald

[Macarena Yannelli]

Al fin Nana y Hachi se mudan juntas. No puedo esperar a que Hachi madure un poco y deje de ser tan insoportablemente insegura, pero la quiero igual, como a un perro (jajaja)

[Carla]

que alguien les explique a estas chicas lo que es la bisexualidad por favor

[Samantha]

“Sai, Nana... A quei tempi eri un po' come un gatto randagio, scapestrata, libera e orgogliosa... Ma nel tuo cuore c'era una ferita insanabile. Ottusa come sono, pensavo che anche questo particolare aggiungesse qualcosa al tuo fascino... Senza rendermi conto di quanto dolore tu provassi.”

And what if I cry

[Mary_ame]

4.5 ⭐️

Ah, Nana, Nana.

The story of the two of them rooming in Tokyo is okay. Nana #1 is still annoying. Nana #2 is still super cool but sad inside. They're both looking for love. . . .

There were so many pages ripped out of this manga! Actually, there wasn't much lost as far as story continuity which is good.

I plan to watch the Japanese movie when I get it from the library. It will be subtitled in English. It's ages since I've seen a Japanese movie. Looking forward to it. Not sure if my husband will be all that excited, but he'll give it a go. (No robots or monsters in this one.)

crying, i loved this so much

[Jasmine]

awww the nanas meeting. the little red strawberry cups. YES 🍓🍓

[elle]

hachi is so in love with nana she even ditched her boyfriend to get back home and check on nana 🥹🥹

[Andy Hunter]

PLEAAAAASE BE GAY

[.🍃.]

What I think about each characters:

Yasu is 🥵
And I don't say this everyday.

Nana 1 [Hachi] is still male centered.

Nana2 is still cat woman.

Kysuoke and Jun Chan are those perfect couple who are soulmates and 🦉 when it comes to relationship.

Shouji, I actually changed my mind about him. He is a good boyfriend

Nobu is Nobu. Love his friendship with Nana.

And lastly Yasu is 🥵

[Sarah (menace mode)]

AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES!!!!

[Anna Quilter]

Includes Nana and Nana's first two meetings..

The second one..a bit of a coincidence but it works.

The excitement of setting up their first home in Tokyo and various guy issues.

Love this series..

[Pau Sainz Pérez]

muy chulo amo a nana y a yasu, a shoji que le jodan

[Zuli]

regardless of the two stars for this vol, I'm still loving it and i expect moreeeee

[nathan]

two nanas meet and move in, and then they were roommates.

love the offbeat pairing. unlikely friendships can occur. patience is required.

i want to be happy-go-lucky sooo bad but i overthink too much. i think too much.

do i want roommates, again? could i do it i feel like it's a thing i would HAVE TO do if i ever moved to new york but i'm someone who thrives when they're alone i love being alone so much sometimes it hurts and then i think what will become of me will i ever get down with someone who will marry me will i ever be loved why is life never so simple do goals align do they even need to align what the hell am i looking for what is my type do i even have a type none of my exes are alike all different and all this, these everflowing thoughts, concretely amount to a void i fall into.

pk choisir le bonheur quand on peut lire nana à la place ???

[Bine]

Hab's schon wieder von vorne bis hinten geliebt. Könnte direkt schon wieder rereaden 😍 Nanas (Hachis) Blick auf Nana ist so liebevoll und dreamy und macht die Geschichte noch viel schöner, als sie eh schon ist. Und Nanas Herzschmerz ist so nah, ich komm nicht klar damit 😭 Die beiden haben einfach eine so coole Dynamik, ich freue mich auf alles, was da noch kommt <3

« Si tu fais toujours la fière, le bonheur s’en ira, tu sais ? »

Le fait qu'il y a plus d'alchimie entre les deux Nana qu'entre Nana et shoshi or whatever his name is la (je l'aime pas jsp pourquoi)

[Ardiana &#x1f380;]

nobody will ever understand how much I love nana.

[Muchomorek ☾]

And you're telling me this isn't a lesbian romance?? These two girls have only just met and their chemistry has already reached the cosmos!
Seriously, I loved this read. If the first volume didn't make as much of an impression on me, this one did the job 100%, and I can't wait to discover the rest of their story! 🍓

[Billy Mendes ⋆]

The NANAs are living together... 🤭😂

NANA K. is still with the "Demon Lord" thing and with the "unlucky" no.7 (which is everywhere, the author made sure of that) 😅... Good for her!

And about "Hachi", went to goooogle translate, "hachi" translates to eight. But I wasn't satisfied with that bcause I still felt was missing smth. Then I generally searched for it and it's that movie where a dog and a man forge this incredible bond where the dog follows him everywhere and whatnot (the white-washed or the "western" version is with R. Gere) - very touching story. So the joke where Nana O. makes with Nana K. personality being "dog like" thus calling her "Hachi", made more sense after my search and they're just freaking hilarious together.
