About
"Friendship as the real love story, messily told"
Two young women, both named Nana, meet by chance on a train to Tokyo and end up sharing an apartment. One is starry-eyed and looking for love; the other is a fierce punk vocalist chasing a music career. Their friendship becomes the anchor as romances, bands, and adult disappointments pull at them. It's slower and more melancholic than typical anime, carried by lived-in character writing, a genuinely good rock soundtrack, and an aching honesty about how friendship and love wound each other. Warm, sad, and unusually mature in tone.
Watch it for
the deeply human friendship between two women navigating love, ambition, and heartbreak in Tokyo.
Maybe skip if
you need closure, since the story stops mid-arc without a real ending.
