Hachi called her mom to know about the money. Her mom said it was like a wedding gift. Hachi was confused since she is not getting married. Her mom said, “but you eloped”. Hachi was blushing. Even if it’s true, it’s not something her mom is suposed to know. Then her sister took the phone and said it was the all know she left home to go after a guy. Her mom finish by saying that she have her hands full with the other sisters, Hachi is a big girl now, she can do whatever she wants with the money, but “don’t come back” she said.
Still at the “Yasu is back” party, drunk Nana was laughing so hard. How cool Hachi mom is! Then Yasu came back. Nana was all happy, jumped on him, kiss him, tell him she loves him, then collapse. Hachi was really excited, still thinking that they are both deeply in love.
At night, Hachi was remembering her big dream: to be a beautiful bride, have a big house with a garden, etc. Since Shoji is in University for the next 4 years, she knows they won’t get married before that. Since she can’t accept to live poorly, she was very motivated to find a job. In the morning, Nana found Hachi all dress up for a job interview.
At the university, Shoji and Junko talked about the “famous” Sachiko. Shoji was very desparate. He didn’t want to hide the fact that he was already dating Hachi, but it seems like Sachiko likes him. Junko told him if they keep seeing each other, he’ll hurt her more and more. Junko told him to end it once and for all. Junko also said that Hachi is an exhausting girl and being with Sashiko probably make him feel more relaxed. Thats exactly how he felt. As they separate, Shoji saw that Sachiko was near and hear everything! He felt really bad and just end up running away. As he was thinking, he decided to end it since he decided that he’ll marry Nana and go to the grave with her. He promised he won’t betray her!
So after work, he decided to talk to her and end it. He felt really weird “how to break up with a friend”. When he was about to talk, he saw Sachiko with tears all over her face. She said she won’t go between him and Hachi, being friends is fine, let’s not break up! He was really touched, he also remined that he really like being with her, that he is really relaxed with her… he couldn’t help it he hug her.
In the meantime, Hachi was trying to reach Shoji. Nana said “maybe he is cheating on you!”. Hachi wanted to tell him that she have a new job. She thought she was getting closer to her dream of having a house with a garden. Nana said she’ll buy one for her one day with one of her song.. and it will be dog house.
In Hachi naration, she was saying that if Nana was a guy, she would be the love of her life. There won’t be always happy times, because love and pain goes together… then the last pictures we see Sachiko and Shoji making out naked on a bed…
I remember being really upset with this when I first read it in manga. Hachi was really nice, but her boyfriend is seeing other girl… When I think about it now, I think Shoji was nice enough to her. He spoiled her a lot. He was making a lot of effort. Hachi didn’t make much effort and she takes a lot of attention. Even when she realised it and decided to make up with him, she changed her plan when something new was going on with Nana. She loved Shoji, but Nana was more important for her.
Even if he was extremely nice to her and loved her a lot. She didn’t love him the same. She liked him a lot, but I don’t think she really knew what it meant. I feel like she was more like a girl falling in love because it’s something that people do. Her dream is to be a bride, its trivial to think that it’s because since she is young she been told (familly, school, friend , tv, etc.) that the hapiness is being in love and having a family. Most of the girls think like that. Girls are pretty obsesse about having a boyfriend, being in love, getting married… not just because everybody does that, but like I said, the way we are raised, the society where we grew out, love/marriage became something very important. It’s not something so bad, human are in earth to reproduce their species, right? We’re animals after all. Hehe.
Being cheated make you fell really miserable. Of course, it’s not because your boyfriend decided to see elsewhere that it means you worth nothing. Sometimes, even with a lot of efforts, it just don’t work out. Sometimes, people are just incompatible, or they think they are, they just made the choice to change, it doesn’t affect your value. But it’s something really hard accept since love is the ultimate hapiness for a human. If you love and you are being love back, it’s like the JACKPOT. Your value is not in the eyes of others, you’re the one who decided how much you worth.
