NANA Chapter 84 Discussion

Just finished watching the anime and reading the manga ( about 3 times). I have to say that I LOVED this series. It was far better than I expected. It really got deep there. I can't tell you how many times I cried. Especially when Ren died. It just broke my heart. Luckily the author just recently put out new issues of Junko's room. It gives me hope that she'll finish the manga.



As for the events in chapter 84, I can see Nobu dumping Yuri. Not just because of his feelings for hachi but her attitude in general. I never liked her in the first place so I hope she disappears. I don't Nana is going to leave immediately but I think this will be the catalyst. I'm also wondering what'll happen with Reira. Personally, I can't stand her. I mean seriously, stuck on a man who you know doesnt love you like that for years is a hot mess. She's the most selfish character. I mean so is hachi but at least she admits her selfishness.



And regarding Little Rens parentage, I'm probably the only one who thinks that's Takumi's child. I have doubts that it's Nobu's. We tend to forget that hachi also has light hair. If you see some of the color panels little Ren had brown hair. Plus I think takumi would say if it wasn't his child whether he loved him or not. I actually like both Takumi and Nobu. I do think Takumi sincerely loves hachi but he will always put his job first. It's obvious that he regrets his actions...notice his expression in ch.74. He knows that things have gone to far and probably can't be repaired easily. Nobu knows hachi will never leave takumi and had resigned himself to just be her support. Nobu probably asked after Ren out of the fact that's it's hachi's baby and his namesake. He's just a loving guy. That's the way I see things.

And so here I am at the end of this road



Between the issue with her mom and the fact Nana.K will have to get back to her home with Takumi, that could easily drive Nana.O to run away from everyone unless there was sometbing Yazawa was planning to drop :/

Nobuo breaking up with Yuri would be for the best for both of them, he barely has a job and she never felt like part of the group so with Nana.K around, she always going to feel jealous about it.

Takumi and Reira deserve each other but I guess it only happens in the future.

I like to think that the ending would be Hachi going to London to find Nana.O or maybe Nana.O getting back to Tokyo to meet Hachi, or at least something that would make a reference to how they first met :)

Just waiting for the bad news that we'll never be getting a continuation.

it's official Ai Yazawa is coming back "someday"

I don't care how long but she plans on finishing it.

bruhhh they gon end it here fr tho

Never mind me, I just came here to cry 😢

I'm still rating this a 9/10 and likely a perfect score if it had a proper conclusion. Sigh, how long has it been since the series went on hiatus? Anyways, I'm glad to see Nana singing again and the mood being a bit cheerier even with the loss of Ren. That was quite a sad death though..



Still hoping the manga will get some sort of continuation someday.

this thread is like a time capsule of sadness :(



Covid 19 make many people re - read, again i cry , still hate mangaka for never ending this, i Guess she realized she make a horrible mistake by killing an important character and now It Will be terrible to come back to status Quo ... I'm probably one of the few that wanted a Nana x nana ending lol



Literally same, I started re-watching and re-reading Nana with some friends because of the pandemic. This is one of my friend's first time encountering Nana so she doesn't yet know about Ren's death. I know she will be heartbroken when she finds out that such an important character died. I look forward to a possible continuation, but with every year, it seems less and less probable. That being said, I don't even know how the manga will end with all the trauma the characters have experienced. Sometimes I wonder if it's better for it to remain unfinished so the fandom can imagine the wonderful endings for the characters instead of dealing with a possibly disappointing finale. All of my friends and I are also Nana O x Nana K fans, so them ending up together seems unlikely. Well, for now, I guess all we can do is appreciate the story that's been told and hope the hiatus will end...
