NANA
probably in my top 5 anime of all time. it's cute, it's heartwarming, it's gut wrenching, it makes you value the people in your life and the connections you have. it takes a few episodes to pick up but it's sooooo worth it and genuinely such a beautiful story that hits super hard as an adult. I read the manga in middle school and I definitely still enjoyed it and thought it was really good, but watching the anime when you are actually around the same age as the characters and have friends who are young adults, it absolutely punches you in the gut. I LOVE THIS SHOW!! LOVING SOMEONE IS NEVER A WASTE!!
