We're back with another classic among sapphics: NANA. Joined by our wonderful guest Meru (@pixelatedlenses), we talk about our love for this series, its characters, and the maturity of its storytelling. We also dive into the music and fashion of the show, and the strengths and weaknesses in its reflections on gender, race and relationships. This episode is part one of our Nana discussion — a spoiler-free introduction safe for those who haven't seen the show. Join us in episode 19 for part two where we dig a little deeper into the drama and what it has to say. Opening theme: "Rose" by Anna Tsuchiya inspi' Nana (Black Stones) Ending theme: "a little pain" by Olivia Inspi' Reira (Trapnest) Where to find us: and Follow us on Twitter: Email:
