The chapter starts with thoughts of NANA about her offer to go solo. She says that she initially came to Tokyo by herself in hope of making a name for her self, but now that she have an offer to go solo, she feel so uneasy that she’ll faint. When you think about it, the guys are pretty much in the band because of her. Yasu wanted to be a lawyer and even move to Tokyo because of her. Nobu could work for his parent, but prefer to play for NANA. It seems like he only wants to play for her. Otherwise, he’ll probably only play for himself… for Shin, he arrived later so he is not as attached to NANA. I guess she might feel like she will betray them if she do it. As when Ren left their band for Trapnest?

So Black Stone tour have started. They are about to do rehearsal, but Shin is late. They said he was at his home (his father’s). Shin looked a little down and unmotivated. Nana’s asked her boss if she could dive into to crowd during the concert. They refused telling her she’ll die. Nana replied that dying in a sea of fans would be her wish.

Since Ren returned home, Nana didn’t have anything planned that evening. Nana felt nervous because she wants everything to go right. It feels like she is worried about her relationship with Ren. But everything was doing well. They could talk normally and enjoy them self. Everything was doing fine: she made up with Hachi, work is doing well, it’s fine with Ren. She looked at peace. She was wondering if she’ll be happier to die with Ren or on stage. It made me nervous again… will she try to kill Ren and herself? o_O She said that if she could sing all she wants and live happily with Ren, she won’t regret anything if she could die alone in the end. What’s important is how you live your life. It made me wonder lot of things…. in the last chapter we read that Nana wanted to die. So it is because things we not going well with Ren and she couldn’t sing anymore?

Shin is also going home to take some of his stuff. In the way, he got a message from Reira telling him she is now home, she wants to talk to him once more and she’ll be waiting for his call. Of course, he is not calling back with his sad face. At his apartment, he crossed his older brother. Shin was still indifferent. His brother told him that his room doesn’t exist anymore since his dad changed it to a library. Somehow, Shin looked shocked or very hurt. I’m not too sure. As a child, whatever you say, you always wants to be loved by your parent…

The next morning of Black Stone concert, Hachi is preparing breakfast for Takumi. He asked her if she was still mad. “Nope” she replied, even if she made a angry face on Takumi’s omelet. Anyhow, I’m sure she was happy to be with Takumi again. Then she received a call from Yasu who asked if Shin was with her. It seems like Shin is missing. Takumi also call Reira who was shocked to know that Takumi knew about them. Then someone was at her door. She rushed thinking it might be Shin, but it was Ren asking about Shin. All worried, she asked him what happened.

His manager went to Shin’s home at the place they said they’ll met, but he wasn’t there. He also said that when he called to his home, Shin’s brother answered saying he crossed Shin in the hall, but he never came home. Ren asked Reira if she knew where he could be. She said there was a woman in the same apartment who taught him a lot about bad things. Then at Nana’s office, the main office called saying Shin was arrested…

From the last sentence “Are you living everyday so that even if the end were to come… you’d have no regrets”, I wonder if it’s the moment when everything fall down for Nana? But everything was good for her… she didn’t mind her mother as well… I wonder what Shin did to be in jail? He did kill anyone since we see him in the ‘future’… did he went to that woman and did some mean things to her? He’s hurt because of his father and Reira, he wouldn’t do that… If Shin was in jail, what happened to their tour? I wonder if they’ll break their contract because of that… it can’t be… must be something bigger then that… I want to know!! >_<

Before I start, I’ll explain few things. When I talk about the present, it’s everything related to our characters when they are grow up: Nana disappeared and her friends are looking for her; We also see Hachi’s daughter, etc. The past is the time of the debut of Black stone and Hachi is still pregnant.

The chapter starts with a image of the current Nana, with blond long hair, in front of the sea. We can read “I was happy anywhere, where I could see the ocean.” Then “She was engaged to the love of her life… Her dream of a debut has been realized… Nana, who should have had everything… now… her fate is still unfolding little by little…”. Nana was looking at the sea and she had a sad look. I guess she wasn’t so happy.

Still in the present, Hachi, Nobu. Yasu and Shin are in the table of the old apartment looking at the pictures of Nana. From the recording and the pictures, they guessed that she was in England. Nana’s always been influenced by British pop-culture icons like Sex pistols and Vienne, so it makes sense. Shin also add the Nana’s probably heard lot of stories from Ren… and they had a sad look… it made me nervous wondering what happenned to Ren… did he dead or maybe cheat of her with Reira?? They looked relieved to know that Nana was alive since they were not even sure.

Then we have the continuation of the first page narration “I was happy anywhere, where I could see the ocean…”; “If the ocean is nearby, then I can die whenever I want. Those kind of thoughts bring me some peace. I think I can try to go on living for another day.” It seems like Nana wants to die. Why? ;_;

Still in the apartment with Hachi who heard some melody from her old room. She saw Nobu playing with his guitar. They kinda have a sad look. As it is was sad/prohibited for Nobu to play. Nobu said that he have to play his guitar one in a while or it will get lonely. Then she sat next to him and they started to talk. We learned that Hachi now do wardrobe work. I am not too sure what it is… doing some clothing?? Nobu is not working at his parents inn. He seems to also organized shows with amateurs/locals bands. And Ren is gone to England ‘again’ to Takumi’s they said. And he plays guitar all the time. I can guess that both bands disbanded. I can understand that Blanck Stone disband since their singer is missing, but Trapnest as well?

Then we see Yasu and Shin in a car. Shin is now doing TV series. Yasu asked about Misato-chan… Shin is with Misato-chan?? Which one? Nana’s sister or the other one?? What about Reira? ;_; Then they talk about the person who sent the photos, they think it’s the cameraman/journalist who track Nana’s past. They wonder why he sent the pictures secretly to Hachi instead of making it public. They also said that Nana’s is working there with a fake visa so she’ll be deported eventually…

Then back to the sea image, we can read Nana’s narration saying that she came to this place to find a place to die, but she is still alive.

Back at the past. Trapsnest is back from recording London. Ren arrived at his apartment and see lot of Shounen jump (he asked her to buy them for him) and an ot from Nana’s saying she did some miso soup. Ren smiled. Then we see Black Stone beginning their preparation for a huge concert. Takumi is also back to Hachi, who was pretty pissed off. I guess she is pissed because he didn’t call her??

Now back to the sea image with the present Nana sitting in front of the sea. She said that she can not trow away her live that Hachi’s saved.

I wonder what she meant by that… did she tried to kill herself and Hachi saved her? Or did she saved her with her friendship and love? I remember that her friends were not even sure if she was alive. Maybe she wa caught in a accident?? But she wants to die… I wonder what happened. >_<

I was pretty excited when I learned about another adaptation of the famous Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. When it’s an adaptation the critic are harder since we all compare it to the original or what have been done before. Surprisingly, this anime is far from the original story, except the part that Romeo and Juliet will fall in love, but they are enemies because of their family.
