Friendship is more than just having the same name

NANA has become one of my favorite anime this year. Its story on the slice of life especially on the life of young girls who are in the processes of facing womanhood is very well portrayed in this anime. I would like to think that young girls like me could relate with this anime. Also, this anime shows how our dreams can affect our love and vice versa; how we handle difficult situations and how do we value friendship especially in times of downfall. If you want to laugh and cry at the same time, then this anime is for you.

Sharing the same name "Nana", both girls quickly form a bond of friendship. Their paths cross again when they encounter each other while searching for accomodation in Tokyo. Eventually they decide to live together in the same unit and this further strengthens their bond as the two "Nana(s)" go through their love lives and career.-animenewsnetwork.com

Ginko is a "Mushi-shi" who travels around to investigate and find out more about the "Mushi". In the process, he also lends a helping hand to people who face problems with supernatural occurances which may be related to the "Mushi".-animenewsnetwork.com
