ive read and re-read this manga several times over the course of my life, each time as i grew older i began to really digest the story more and more. nana taught me what love was and what love wasnt, about the solidarity and hardship of womanhood, about the inevitability of life. it just made me think about a lot of things at a very young age where non of those things were yet to happen. and then, when they began to happen i couldnt help but think back.
even if it is plagued by few cis-heteronormative and outdated views, the impact this manga had on me and many young girls is i think, undeniable. its a wonderful drama and i just hope one day it'll continue.
