WHat does that suppose to mean? She doesn't need love to marry because she have backups like Nobu and Nana to love her although she'd abandon them as soon as Takumi waves his hand? |

Hence why people would try to excuse Takumi's raping cheating abusive ways and convince themselves that he must love Hachi deep, deep, deep down his heart because this is a shoujo manga so the heroine must choose the right guy and he must love her and they can't split up because shoujo mangas have happy endings and the way it end up to be must be the way life should be. |

I was just watching Ultraviolet, and noticed that it was Nana's voice. I had no idea how much I loved her voice until I started noticing it in other shows. For someone like me, who doesn't even speak or understand Japanese, to be able to tell a difference between voices, makes her voice VERY distinctive.
It's so damn sexy! I mean, I sat through the crap that is Ultraviolet just because of her voice, heh. Quote:
I think most people are heartbroken at the fact that she refused Nobu, because they know that his love for her is real and true. More accurately, what people are trying to convince themselves of is that Nana would be happy without the kind of love that Nobu can provide. To me, it seems that she cannot survive on the type of affection that Takumi can provide. That's what breaks my heart about this series. I know she can't. She's just like me, convincing herself that material goods are enough, that as long as a guy can give her stuff and that she can largely do what she wants, she will be happy. But I think that I've realized that this is not the case. Overall, I think that we are just used to our heroines being THE ONE, but in this case, perhaps Hachi is NOT The One to break through Takumi's barriers. If this is so, I want to see whether she can break down the barriers (Takumi does care for her after all -- maybe he tries) or, as the ending FF tells us, whether Nobu can break down her barriers. Either way, I still find myself questioning whether someone like her deserves such devoted true love. The fact that this is even a question for me is very telling of how layered the characters are. Overall, this series has deeply touched me. |

@MikaMiaka: Nana is voiced by PAKU Romi, who was born in 1972 in Japan to Korean parents, and who won the first annual Seiyuu Award for best female seiyuu of 2006 for her role as Nana.
She is also famous for such roles as Loran Cehack in Turn A Gundam, Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist, Teresa in Claymore, and Haraken in Dennou Coil. I agree with you that she is really a great voice actress. If I had to pick the best female seiyuu of all, it might be her. Her voice is precise, but also can convey deep emotion. Here's a pic: @yezhangquan -- Yes. The later volumes of the manga are amazing. I really hope we get a new anime. As I hope we get a new series of Skip Beat, which is a different kind of story, but another good shoujo manga that the anime covers only a small part of.
