In the book Nana Volume 6, by
Ai Yazawa, t
hings heat up in both lives of the members of Blackstone and Trapnest after the live concert in Hachi’s town. After coming home to Tokyo, the two bands decide to have a get together in room 707 and party through the night by playing mahjong just like their old days. Fangirl Hachi nearly faints with joy when she hears that her boyband crush Takumi will be there in her own home! Blast starts to finally earn fame in Tokyo city with the explosion of their thrilling concerts. But Nana comes into realization that all that she ever loved seems to be snatched away from her by Trapnest. First her dearest lover Ren by the lure of a better position and now Hachi by the fake love of the leader of Trapnest,Takumi
This volume of the book is one the most interesting because now all the other conflicts slowly erase and the problems seem to narrow down to Blackstone and Trapnest. The internal showdown between Nana’s Blackstone and Trapnest is well thought as Nana tries both psychically and mentally to win over the fame Trapnest has and all the happiness they are stealing from her without knowing. With the dark and lonely past Nana already has, it made me very pitiful to see Nana’s shaky and unstable life go through so many storms yet hope for a better tomorrow.
