Hachi is so flighty that I have no choice but to love her. Wait, I shouldn’t be saying that. I should instead be pimping lesbian foreshadowing<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Yeah! Hachi loves Nana etcetera!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hachi and Shouji have an argument because Hachi has been unconsciously selfish again. Matters are complicated for Shouji when he gets a new coworker … whose name is Sachiko<\/i>.
\nHachi’s other project is to get a bassist and drummer for Nana and Nobu’s band. Hachi finds one whom she affectionately terms “bishounen”. His name is actually Shinichi. Thus a new saga begins!<\/p>\n

I have always thought the idea of Sachiko was hilarious, so I exploded when a real<\/i> Sachiko came onto the scene. The humour was compounded further when Shouji caught the train with her and thought “Sachiko is so cute! She’s much nicer than the fake Sachiko,” a method of thinking that implies that he had built up the fake Sachiko into a character just as much as Nana had done.<\/p>\n

Turbulent times ahead for the couple of Hachi and Shouji? I think so indeed, particularly as Hachi becomes further involved in the life and concerns of Nana. This is, of course, also motivated by my dislike of all of Hachi’s previous-life friends.<\/p>\n

On to the kiss! I find it interesting the tense that Hachi used in her narration: “I think, in a way, that I was in love with Nana,” as if the feeling has been and gone. It’s also notable that until now, Hachi had narrated to<\/i> Nana rather than strictly about<\/I> her, so perhaps it’s a feeling that she didn’t want to share with Nana in her reminiscence. I don’t know. All I know is that I like the naming of “bishounen”, because these characters really do treat each other like objects rather than people. You’ve got to respect that.<\/p>\n

Nana<\/I> moves at a respectable clip. I like it and, despite any troubled times that may be coming, I can be assured that Hachi will help it through.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I aporogise for the use of “pimping” in my copy.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
