Nana manga gay
SPOILERS for the Nana manga.
There is no relationship in any anime or manga series that has moved me more than the relationship between Nana Osaki and Nana Komatsu in Nana. The two possess a strong bond and solidarity as women despite being opposites in many ways.
What’s more, there’s quite a bit of homoerotic subtext between the two. Though its depiction of queerness is a bit dated, it’s a powerful portrayal of a bond between women and the life of two young women trying to uncover their way in the planet. It’s also a series that has found itself in a very unique place in discussion for its abrupt hiatus that has lasted for over a decade, with no ending in sight.

To be clear though I don’t feel comfortable criticizing Yazawa for Nana/Hachi not existence overt or~canon~. There’s cultural differences to consider. And like… it’s not even my place to criticize Japan. I still notice western readers insist that Yaoi is just t
How does an anime about two girls who drift apart over a dude garner such a loyal sapphic fanbase? As a female homosexual who loves shoujo anime, I’m very familiar with the iconic sapphic romances in Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and Sailor Moon, so I was curious where Nana fit in.
Before I finally watched it, I was hesitant to get invested in a relationship between two straight girls. And I was especially hesitant if the show itself was only interested in baiting the audience or pushing tiring love triangles. But Nana centers itself on one incredibly painful and typical lesbian experience: an obsessive, dedicated female friendship that ends in heartbreak.
Nana is a anime based on the popular shoujo manga by Ai Yazawa, the manga-ka of Paradise Kiss.
