Re: Nana Discussion

yeah, Reira making stella up and all... it's really weird. -_- But why do a lot of people say she'd die though? If, just IF she might be the cause of Nana and Ren's breakup, she wouldn't deserve death- she'd deserve a boring, uneventful, undramatic life in the end.

Wow, chill :D
They thing with Layla (or Reira) is that she is weak mentaly. She thinks egoistic, trying to survive, not that diffrent from Hachi. As usual, that kind of character becomes hated (frey in gundam seed is good example), probly becous thei remindes us about aour own weaknesses. She dose not meen to harm anyone, but it all comes crashing down in the end (pretty much like my ex :D ). The only thing she need is a stable point in her life, thats where Shin comes in. Think about it:
Takumi only cares about the cash (Layla= cash)
Ren dont care about anything (Layla= i shadow in his emo hell)
Naoki is a side kick, no one even remembers his name (Layla= ?
Yasu is like a strong Layla, he meens well but knows what he does (Layla= charity)
Nana used to see her as the "enemy", now she dont know anymore (Layla= imaginary nemesis)
Nobu is of no (in this that is)
Shin, on the other hand, is dependent on her. I know it sounds like a bad thing, but in her case its not. He is her savior as she is his. Closest thing to love i can come up with :D
In other words: let it crash. Nana goes to England in hiding, Takumi cheats like never before, Hachi suppres everything untill she picks up a sniper rifle and starts off-ing people at random, Ren finds LSD, Nobu walks around not knowing what he wants, no one cares about Naoki, Yasu joins Green Peace (whatever), and then:
Shin keeps up his acting job, Layla does a solo project for a couple of years, then they retire and raise a family (since that seems to be the dream of all the people in this series, though its understandable).

So, dont hate Layla or shin, wish them well, they are goign to need it :D

Re: Nana Discussion

yeah well, i don't particularly hate anybody in the story, that's how amazing the characterization is. Instead of hate, I really feel pity for Reira coz she doesn't know what she wants. I mean, she likes shin and stuff, but she still agonizes over takumi. I don't really know what the end for her will be. Especially that shin's caused some trouble and disappears or something.

Re: Nana Discussion

They did not say anything about Layla in the future. That why I think something bad happen to her. we know that Ren is ok, and that takumi and hachi are still married. We know that Shin is doing dramas and we know that Nobu is working with his parents at the inn. We also found out about Mai Tsuzuki aka Misato Uehara. That she still work for Gaia. So we donot know what happen to Layla Miu and Yuri Kousaka in the future.

Re: Nana Discussion

...and that takumi and hachi are still married.
Thats another thing, when do they get married? All this talk about Ren and Nanas preventing Hachi and Takumi's marriage makes me wonder: Trapnest must be dead, and if that is true, was it Layla that screwed it up or Ren thanks to Nana?
Damn! I want to read it all now! :D

Btw: i dident remember if they said they acctually were married so i checked back, but in chapter 42 when she is tapping a bath for Nobu you can clearly see that she has two rings on.


Oh, one more thing about Layla in the future: It might be that Shin and Layla are going strong together, but they dont want to spoil that to us readers yet... i hope... and pray :D

Re: Nana Discussion

chapter 66 is a future Chapter in it do not say anything about Layla.But it said Ran & Takumi are in England. I think Takumi & hachi are married but are not living togater. But I think back in one of the future chapter he came to see Satsuki and Hachi what chapter is that?

Re: Nana Discussion

Yeah, I think the same as you. They're positively not living together because they say that Takumi lives in England (with one of his girls?) so that makes me wonder whether they got divorced or something.
Argh, I prefer them together T_T, just why does he have to be a cheating bastard? lol

Re: Nana Discussion

I don't think they are divorced. Did it say that he was living with one of his girls?. I thought Ran was living with Takumi.

Well, someone asked about Ren, and they said he was in England, and then Nobu asked: at Takumi's? And then Nana/Hachi put a really sad face, so...

Re: Nana Discussion

6 months? Hmmm...yeah, that's a long wait. I hope she gets well soon.

There is also another news going on that Nana will no longer be published in Shojo Beat monthly as it is going to receive a mature rating. Isn't this sounded kind of late, considering all the juicy bits were in the middle of the series. :amuse

Re: Nana Discussion

I hope she gets better and that it's nothing serious. ;-;

Also, Shojo Beat is the magazine that publishes Nana in America, while Cookie publishes in Japan. Shojo Beat stopped putting it in the magazine because things were going to get more and more crazy, so they're going to put out just the volumes instead. Also, Shojo Beat is at the point where she's finding out she got pregnant...so...
