nickname: Izzy
Why I like Nana: Well first of all who wouldn't fall in love with Hachi (plus I feel sorta sorry for her and I hate her at times but still rolleyes ) and Nana O is so hard to resist and pared together? the combo is surprising and makes a brilliant plot linein some mangas the characters have a basic personality outline but in Nana the characters all have flaws and have very complex personalitys, more like real life. ok I am going to stop going on before I bore you all to death.
Fave Nana character: Nana O of course!!!

Name/Nickname: Jenny
Why You Like NANA: I like the plot and story, since it relates a lot to reality. And also it's the first manga/anime where the characters actually look cute.
Favorite NANA Character: I like practically all of them. It's way too hard for me to choose between Yasu, Jun-chan, Shin, Reira and Naoki. xp
Other Anime/Manga You Like: I used to like Love Hina, but now NANA is the only thing I read.
Anything Else You'd Like To Add: I can't believe I'm actually obsessing over this anime stuff. gonk

Why You Like NANA: why? because it's freaking awesome. I love Yazawa Ai's manga (the other currently out in English is Paradise Kiss) because her plotlines and characters are complex and original and her artwork is so cool and original too. everything about NANA is awesome. biggrin heart

[Yatterchan]

Name/Nickname:Angie/Roxas
Why You Like NANA:I like Nana because unlike other shojo animes where they are not serious at all, Nana is. Cause most shojo romances involve a lot of comedy and it becomes very light and annoying sometimes. Nana is serious and slightly comedic, which makes it easier to connect with and adds to its greatness. ^^
Favorite NANA Character:My favorite character i think is probably... hmm i think Komastu "Hachi" Nana. Her problems in her relationships are so easy to connect with and shes a really fun character.
Least favorite Nana character: Junko, i don't know but she seems... to just kinda interfere with Hachi Nana's life too much. It's too meddling.
Other Anime/Manga You Like: wow um...
Anime: Lucky Star, Lovely Complex, Romeo x Juliet, Yami no boushi, Gravitation, Hand Maid May, Lain, Haibane Renmei, Higurashi, Kiba, Metropolis, Akira, Dirty Pair Flash, Bubblegum Crisis 2040, Evangelion, and like a a**-load of others...
Manga: Pita-Ten, CardCaptor Sakura, Chobits, Utena, X-Day, Bleach, Mar, Princess Ai, +Anima, .Hack//Legend of the Twilight, Gantz, Slam Dunk, Tokyo Crazy Paradise, and others i can't remember right now...
Anything Else You'd Like To Add: I really love to play video games and dress goth loli for some reason... lol
