[Winter Anti-epidemic Series] Japanese Manga Classic Yazawa Ai<NANA 世上的另一個我>

Coming to the second day of 2021, when everyone is making New Year's resolutions. I suddenly remembered a classic Japanese manga that has not ended for 20 years: Yazawa Ai's <NANA Another Me in the World>. Although it has been a long time, I will still get burned when I accidentally look at the monologue and lines of the protagonist.

The manga was serialized in Japan's Shueisha manga monthly <COOKIE> in 1999. After the 85th episode was serialized in 2009, Yazawa manga artist stopped publishing due to physical problems, and it has not ended until now. <NANA> has produced animations, movies, video games and countless merchandise. My favorite is the original comics, although the animation with Cantonese dubbing makes the characters more vivid, especially the interaction between Lian and Nana, the dialogue is very funny, Usually when they show their PUNK image is very different (or love to act like a spoiled child is their original image lol)

Post the Japanese official website of <NANA>, and interested friends can go to the official website to see if there are any new discoveries!

The story revolves around two girls with different personalities and backgrounds, but with the same name, who leave their hometown for their own reasons and go to Tokyo to live and meet after they meet. It's a story about the choice and choice between love, dreams, friendship and career, and then the protagonists grow up with each other's support in the adult world of stumbles and illusions. Only under the guidance of the Great Demon King, the cohabitation of Nana and Nana in room 707 began to unfold.

Known as the Queen of Black Cats, after a series of turmoils, she is engaged to Rin Honjo, the bass guitarist of TRAPNEST, her first love, but she has not yet rented it due to some incidents. Finally, Nana suddenly disappeared after Lian died in a car accident.

Komatsu Nana - the protagonist, the original family is happy and happy, the character is gentle and well-behaved, and there is a mature Junko as a runmi, but it is easy to fall in love. Innocent and approachable, he is regarded by Nana as a loyal dog Hachiko, and has a nickname "ハチ". After breaking up with Zhang Si, Inana met the TRAPNEST captain Takumi. Although she dated Nobuo in the middle, she eventually married Takumi and had a son and a daughter.

A few things you know or are obsessed with because of comics

SID and NANCY of the punk rock band SEX PISTOL are said to be the deities of Lian and Nana. For this pair of punk lovers, check out the adapted movie <SID and NANCY>!

The product of Vivienne Westwood, the Queen Mother , Nana often wears their home clothes, plus Shinichi's commonly used planet lighter, which often appears in comics. At that time, it was already very popular, and Nana and Shinichi often used it, so I also joined the ranks of the Queen Mother's loyal fans. Although I still occasionally buy the West Queen Mother and go to the West Queen Mother's Cafe, I really don't have the same fanaticism that I did back then.

Cigarette Seven Star, BLACK STONE, GITANES, Seven Star of Nana and Lian, BLACK STONE, Tae's favorite cigar, and GITANES, Takumi's favorite. Since I don't smoke, I don't have much research.

Finally, I hope 2021 will be a good start! BLAST and TRAPNEST accompany us to grow up, let's work hard for our dreams together!
