Presenting NANA Project #5!

Today I’d like to point you to the latest installment of The NANA Project, in which Danielle Leigh, Michelle Smith, and I dig into NANA volumes 9 & 10! I can honestly say I have never had more much fun with this project than I did this time around, and that’s saying a lot. From Danielle’s introduction: “This time around we all discuss the harsh world of fame, MJand I then subject the character of Yasu to relentless psychoanalysis, while Michelle awes us all with her new “hair theory” of NANA!”

While participating in this month’s discussion, I was reminded more than ever just how emotionally resonant this series is and how true-to-life its characters are. I think the fact that the conversation gets a bit heated here in installment #5 is a real testament to that. Must performing artists choose between career and love? Is “want” an essential element of happiness? Check out NANA Project #5 for all this and more!

Catch up on earlier installments here and be sure to join us for discussion in comments!
