A tentative summary since the English version isn’t out yet, but I somehow managed with some summaries I found.

Chikage is at the train station to see Misato (Nana’s sister). While waiting for the train, she is reading an old text message from Shin (he sent it the day before). Then Kurara appeared and they get into the train. In the train, Chikage started reading the news on the top of the alley… “Latest news..Black Stones’ Shin… because of using marijuana is now under arrest…”

Miu’s is at at Hachi’s house, telling them what happened. Miu says that Shin was at the house of a woman named Ryouko, the police came in by forcing the entry and they couldn’t escape. Hachi is super worried and Takumi told her that since he is a minor, his charges won’t be too much. Miu also added that right now, Shin can’t get out and even if he does, he can’t go back to the band. At Blast’s side, they are discussing about the concert… Hachi then decides to go to the police station. Takumi holds her back while Miu tell her that aside from a lawyer or his parents, no one can see him. Hachi is very worries and cries. She wants to see Shin since she is her mother. While conforting Hachi, Takumi says that if the concert is cancelled, there will be a huge financial loss and the audience won’t accept it. So to continu, they must find someone else. Hachi was against the idea of finding someone else… I guess it’s better to find someone else for now, since it will ruins them and Shin can’t go back to the band yet.. Even if the find someone else, he didn’t practice at all!!

 

Back to Blast before the concert, Nana is very impatient. She is waiting for another bassist player even if they are not sure if the concert will take place. Yuri tells Nana to not worry, the boss will do something. Then Yuri suggests to ask Ren to help out. It was out of question for Nobu since Ren left their band. Somehow Nana was very excited about and calls Ren. She only wants to perform. While Nana was asking the favor to Ren, Nobu tries to stop her and shouts her about her pride. Nana replied that she trew away her pride already. And anything that she can use, she will use in order to succeed in this world, no matter what it is, she will do it. At the same time, the bosses decides to cancel the concert.

Ren listens to Nana then apologizes that he can’t help. Nana is shocked asks why. Ren says that by the way Nana asked for the favor, he might consider. Nana is angry, shouts to him to stop fooling around and answer her. Then he replied that he is not interested and asked her why can’t she be stronger a bit more. Then she asked why does she have to be strong since th bad thing happened to someone else. Then he replies that she can’t say ’someone else’ since Shin is their band member. Angry Nana shouts that he is absolutely not their band member! Ren’s face changed to serious… he tells Nana that when things are doing fine, Shin is a friend, but when things are difficult, he is a stranger. Nana is a little surprised… Ren adds that he don’t want to play for that kind of band then hang up. Then Nobu’s phone rings. It’s Yasu, telling him that the concert is canceled. Now they are thinking a way to see Shin. With indifference, Nana quietly goes out the room. I wonder how Nana felt. Desperate? Does she understood the rash words she said about Shin not being a member of the band? Does she hates Ren for not helping her? She must feel all alone and that everyone is going against her dream.It would have been the first concert after their album released, they can’t replace a member… If I were a bassist, I would feel so uneasy to replace Shin.

Back from the meeting, Gin, Mai, the boss talks about how they are disappointed. Gin says that it may be because they let him do what he wants. Mai says that since the concert is canceled, he will feel really hurt… Coldly, Yasu says that Shin must feel that way since its entirely his fault. Gin added that their boss will want Shin to pay compensation for the loss of investment. Mai says that she won’t let it happen. Yasu says that it’s for the better and Shin will work harder. Mai says that the loss won’t be too much if they can find a new bassist and the concert can go on. Yasu adds that it won’t make any difference. Yasu explains that anyhow, all the responsible goes to him (Yasu). The others are surprised. Yasu said that he might think that it ended because of him, but he will know that other can replace him. The boss then says that until Shin return, all Blast activities are stopped. Yasu says that is right and apologies for the incident. I wonder if Yasu is mad at Shin or he felt that everything is his fault. Yasu is like the father of the band.
At Search office, they found it very interesting that Shin is caught with a Reira-like woman. The editor is all excited to write about the incident. Since there is not much to say, he’ll write about Shin’s past. Then the other guy asks about Nana’s mother, but there is no news and waiting is a waste of time. What past will they talk about?? They can’t talk about his relationship with Reira… his relationship with his father?? or the women??

Nana is now in front of her apartment, breathing has become difficult and she feels like she don’t live here. Then she remember what Ren said. She wonder where to go, she don’t want to go back to where Ren is. She don’t know what to do, in front of her, it seems to be a dead end. Does she felt like Ren betrayed her?

Miu is now leaving Hachi’s place. Hachi is all better now. Hachi says even if she cried, it is useless. Right now, she must be strong as a mother. Miu says that she is strong. Hachi is surprised and says that most of the time, she is weak. She says that she wants to become strong like Nana and she improved a little. Now she is a little worried about Nana since she worked so hard for the concert. Miu asked Hachi if she wanted to go to the apartment with her and she’ll get ride of Nobu and Yuri for her… Hachi then think that Yasu has a big mouth. Hachi decided to go. Somehow, Takumi get to ride the car for them. Hachi said that it’s a waste of money to rent a car and asks him to drive her back home as well. Miu then asked Takumi if he knew about Shion. Takumi doesn’t.

Meanwhile, Yasu has just arrived at the 5th floor when he sees Nana, sitting on the floor with her arms over her head. Nana hugs him and Yasu notices that she is crying. When she calmed down, Yasu takes her to their boss. At Shikai’s office, Shikai tells Nana to go solo. All Blast’s activities will be stopped, there is still hope, but the present situation cannot be accepted. Nana is speechless as she looks at Yasu. Yasu smiles and tells her not to worry about him and Nobu, she should think about herself. Nana thinks that she wants to sing, but alone? I guess the boss wants some kind of compensation. They won’t make any money with Blast this time, so they’ll use Nana… I wonder if she’ll accept. We saw that she now sing by herself, but secretly… Even if she does, I wonder how the fan will take it… they might think that she is selfish… going by herself.

At the naration in the end, we see Hachi is in a room with Miu waiting for the band arrival. Then Nana says: “Hachi, when I’m alone, I’m really like an uneasy, crying child so I want to remember how lucky I am that I have met you. I really regret I wasn’t able to tell you this.” I wonder why she says that now… they won’t meet again?

In the past chapters, Nana said that Hachi saved her live. I wonder if she save her physically (she got into an accident and Hachi helped her out) or more like, when she think about Hachi, she can keep going. Everything starts to make sense. This incident might have hurt Nana a lot. The band is over. She felt like Ren betrayed her… Will something happen with her mom?? They won’t be talking about her mom and nothing going to happen… Oh my god!!! >_<
