This manga is a bit of everything I need in a story right now. It gives me off the same energy that a lot of studio ghibli films have in the way that it romnticizes so may aspects of everyday life and makes things like going furniture shopping or looking for an apartment to be an exciting and fun adventure, and that's always a really beautiful thing to do in fiction, but I feel this one is closer to something that can help me in my actual moment in life because even when the situations and surroundings are defenitely romanticized, I don't feel the characters are as much. Stressing in the "as much", because their mistakes and hurts are still a bit exagerated in a way, but even then they feel a bit more real, because sometimes I feel like ghibli characters end up being romanticized even in their flwars (even though it might be just my altered perception because of all the aesthetic screenshots where they show the serious problems from the characters just as pretty quotes). However, I think that is one of the most notable things in the manga, it has all the fun and spark of being a fictional and farsic storu, but at the same time it feel very real, in the sense of all the characters having the possibility to be someone that you would find at some point in your life and you would like, they have a lot of flaws and virtues that are very clear, and whether they have just met or have known each other for years they are all charming without even trying, even Shoji (who in the anime is way more of a douchebag as far as I've seen), seems way more nuanced and like an actual person who just challenges Nana's wants. And that's only on the superficial side of the story and characters, when it comes to artistic style this manga has one of the most unique and interesting art styles on what I've seen when it comes to graphic novels in general, as well as its characters, the art that they're drawn with dances the line between what's real an dwhat's fictional with their eyes and clothes that are both reallistic and exagerated at the same time, it would be completely perfect if not for the fact that there's absolutely no way you would know certain characters are black if not for their hair (which is a little worse in the anime, in which there's barely a couple of skin tones of difference between them and the white characters most of the time), and even though it can be explained by the time, the medium or simply the contexts it's still something that shouldn't happen in any time or place. Outside of that, all of the manga is one of the best things I've found lately when it comes to story and art, I completely understand the sort of cult status that it has.
