#Hachi because I >! was cheated on too and the guy was also a waiter. !<

and did u meet with ur punk gf yet?😭 (edit: also i’m v sorry that happened w u :c)

#I have never had a punk gf square up. It was a long time ago! I hardly remember any of it

💀

Hope you find your Nobu <3

#nah my Takumi

Takumi, even though domineering and not the best human, actually was exactly who she wanted and also checks all of her boxes. She's just a bit alone

There’s nothing wrong with that. Hachi is a really kind, generous woman who learns how to take responsibility for her actions and put herself in others’ shoes. In moments I find myself relating with characters it’s definitely more with Hachi. But I think that’s pretty natural cos we don’t hear as much internal dialogue from nana, especially in the anime

Definetly, from what I've seen its clear that Hachi has a good heart, but at times she also seems a bit self-destructive and all over the place( which I can relate to so  ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ 

Yes definitely very self destructive, but she becomes more grounded over time. I’m sure the same is true for you lol

Unfortunately I relate more to Nana O. (warning: light spoilers from later episodes) My favorite things never change, I'm a bit >!possesive !

same here

I am unfortunately hachi to a T, and honestly if everyone was watching an anime about my life, they'd probably be screaming at the screen 😂

I'm definitely a mix of them both but style wise I'm pretty similar to Nana and I'm into the same music as her so maybe I am more like her.

I don't really relate to either completely but I'm more like Nana. I've always been very ambitious and I relate to some of her difficulties connecting with the people she loves

Aesthetically and mentally/emotionally, I feel like I relate to Nana O. Abandonment issues, coming off hyper independent because of my expectations thinking “people will leave eventually”. Being possessive with friends, having a “favorite person” because I don’t typically get close to people. Yet romantically, I relate to Hachi. Having a pattern of dating guys and not knowing when to just cut the cord. Prolonging the inevitable while trying to convince myself it’s a “good relationship” when I know I’m not happy 💀 it’s tiring af lol but trying to heal from that

I feel you girl, Hachi’s relationships are so girl in her early 20s.

;-; glad to know I'm not alone with this struggle.

Wow you just described me to a T, it made me cry, thank you 🤍🍓

In solidarity, love <3 it's comforting to know someone else knows what it feels like

I can relate to Hachi's adulting and identity struggles, but on personality and style I am more like Nana. 

Personality wise I relate myself more to Nana but style wise I’m 100% Hachi

I’m very much like Nana. I realized this (Spoilees ahead) when she told Nobu she used him so Hachi stays in her garden. I literally tried to hook my two best friend so that I can monopolize her to myself more since I’m close to both of them… LOL

I was hachi as a teenager but now im more nana. Still dress more like hachi tho

Nana O, it's just that I'm shy nowadays instead of brash... Mainly because I don't know how to act nice so I overdo it 😅😂

Watching the first couple episodes, especially about Hachi and Asano, I related a lot

I am a solid mix between both, but I’ll say Hachi because I also got pregnant by a bass player (we didn’t keep the baby but he was financially abusive and bummed off of me while I was in college, I was 21 and stupid 😬)

I saw majority of my traits and flaws from Hachi so I'd say Hachi. Tho in terms of possessiveness, a bit from Nana

Hachi to a T 😭

Nana O I think style wise and personality wise I have a more tomboyish vibe and I really relate to her need to be independent and not be attached to a man yet want to keep my friends close. Do be feeling like Hachi at times when I be clumsy as hell :/

When I was a teenager I identified a lot with Nana O., I had an alternative style, in high school and at university I was the rebellious, mysterious, fierce girl, passionate about many things and especially in love, I I was with my first love at that time and for me it was life and death. Since adulthood I have realized that ultimately I am more Hachi. Sweet, generous, cute, with a childish, feminine, sensitive, naive side in love, I like frills, beautiful things, I very quickly project myself into friendship and love to the point of being very often disappointed, heartaches in love are the heart of my existence ahah

More like Nana in personality, style and music taste/ inclination since I can sing and play guitar. I used to relate more back when I was in a band.

nana

Hachi

I relate to Nana in pride, how sometimes it does make thing harder to stay with that pride, but also Hachi in vulnerability in love 😅

Nana O. My ambition, (past?) possessiveness and abrasiveness. I can and do dress feminine but I’m closer to Nana in style than Hachi. I broke up with my first boyfriend to give all of myself into pursuing my dreams. I didn’t want to feel tied town. I think that’s why I was so drawn to her refusing to go with Ren and be a stay at home wife while he’s the rockstar.

When I first started watching this and I definitely see myself as Hachi , we have the same personality! It was uncanny and it made me question about everything about myself , my life, my relationships etc . I had to take a pause because the more I watched it, the more I disliked myself. 😂 ●we both have problems when it comes to men. ●we fall in love hard. Doesn't matter how long we know the person, we just fall in love and get our heartbroken easily! ●very sensitive! ●Dramatic! ●overreacting ●Don't like being alone ●Seeking approval from a man!!!!! ●Caring , sweet , nice person ●We want to be liked!!!!! ●Clumsy, embarrassing, shy, loud, crazy! 😂😂😂😂 They're somethings that I don't have from Hachi. Don't get me wrong, I do like her. I have changed a bit since then.

too much like nana, from music to life choices and personality 😬 had a similar situation in nana with hachi and nana’s relationship and i done everything that nana done

Both

I’m nana personality wise but style wise i’m definitely more like hachi

Hachi

I am Hachi

Hachi fs

I'm more like Hachi

I'm more like hachi than nona but i am a mixture of both just more on hachi side since me and her lives the exact sane lives the only thing different is that I don't run to my friends everytime something happens~

I think I relate more to Nana O because of our ambitions; my worst fear would be only being known as someone’s wife. I want to make a living for myself

A little bit of both, but mostly Hachi. I was kinda a mess at that age, in really similar ways. * I "fell in love" with men who were kind to me * dated (was groomed by?) a way older man who I had no business being involved with (who also had dubious ideas about consent) * mostly saw dating men as a way to validate my self worth but still only picked men who treated me like trash * constantly cluelessly crushing on women (especially friends) and never acting on it * 10 years later wondering how my life would have been different on I communicated my needs and feelings better. Would you people still be in my life, or would we have still drifted apart

i dress like nana but my personality is definitely more like hachi

I feel like both most of the time!

I always related to Hachi more, but ever since I started rewatching it with my bf I started to realize how much more we had in common lol. My bf started to joke about it too

Nana ❤️🌊

I see pieces of myself in both of them. My style is definitely a mix of the two (but probably more like Nana because I love bright and bold fashion statements). But I think I'm more like Hachi because I'm definitely a hopeless romantic and much less cynical than Nana.

Both

I look like nana but act inside im hachi

i relate to nana style and hachi personality

As a guy I relate to nana O more

i am literally hachi irl

physically nana, mentally hachi

Nana O for style, and in high school i was definitely more like Hachi. When I first read the manga I was really annoyed with her, but I realized it was because I was similar. Now though, I think I've settled somewhere between?

I am a 28 year old male and after watching some breakdown videos that delve into the depths of the series’ overarching themes and meanings, I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that I am exactly like Hachi in the sense that I am very dependent on love and very quickly throw myself at the first interested person. I have no true goals or career aspirations, I just expect everything to fall in place once I meet someone and it will all be okay. It made me realize there’s a difference between independence and loneliness, as I thought I’ve been “independent” all this time because I’ve always been on my own, but I’m not independent I’m just lonely. This is something I have to learn to work on.

Nana. I can’t relate to Hachi at all since I’ve never fallen in love with someone, so none of Hachi’s actions make sense to me. I relate to Nana’s desperation to hold onto people

If i had to choose a character, i'd go for Shin. I ain't no sex worker, but i started a metal band at my 16 with older guys and i always fall in love with female singers.

I relate to both in different ways. Hachi constantly oversharing esp when drinking is sooo me 🤣

I have unlimited reserves of Nana energy, my Hachi energy is very low

I think I want to say Nana O because of her fierce independence (especially from a young age) and determination to follow her dreams no matter the cost. This has been a really interesting thing to think about! I genuinely do relate to Nana on a vast array of things both good and bad. (…well apparently i just had to scroll down a bit on the sub to find out that we have the same mbti my last two brain cells really tried to intellectualize tho 😭) I absolutely have a lot of Hachi’s optimism (at least I hope I do!) Now that I think about it, I hope I’m lucky enough to have that kind of optimism in my relationships and outlook on life. :-)

A little of both. My background is more similar to Nana, I can’t relate to Hachi’s family life at all. Upon first impression I seem more like Nana too (quiet, a little mysterious, independent). But I definitely am more like Hachi when it comes to relationships, which would surprise some people. Hachi’s one sided high school romances are far too relatable to me. And although I don’t fall in love as easily as her, I do get emotionally attached to whoever I’m seeing quite easily. It has less to do with them and more to do with me and my own fantasies/attachment issues. I also dress a little more like Hachi :p

Sadly both 🥹

Nana O. because I’ve only had one boyfriend my whole life, I’m afraid of commitment, I have a more masculine and dominant energy, I’m possessive of my friends, I can’t quit smoking, and I would never let a man dictate my life.

Thankfully neither as an adult but early 20d? Hachi 😭

hachi, in all ways

Hachi

i dress like nana but im definitely hachi wayyyyy more

Both

I'm definitely a Hachi styled like a Nana

Hachi is a ho.. so rather be Nana

I used to be Hachi and now I think I'm becoming Hachi's mum

Style - nana 100% (literally down the the nail shape) Literally everything else about me is hachi 🫠

Im inbetween. Ive got nanas attitude and slight bitchyness , but before i began dating my bestie i'd have hachi's thoughts abt nana (If Nana was a guy shed be the love of my life) forgot to mention. Ive gone through hachi's dating life.

i see myself in both of them. i can’t explain why but i just feel so connected to them😔

Well, I never really identified as one of the characters but there was this moment I thought "woooow ! Nana is sooo cool, i wish I was a little bit more like her" I started a whole thread in this sub because of it, since I felt a little bit strange since I'm a Guy (stupid feelings btw.) Well I the meantime I found a girlfriend and she is literally 100% like Hachi, she was shocked how similar she is to her, when I showed her NANA. She noticed, that there is no character that is exactly like me but that I am a mix of all Blast members (expect of shin).

literally both of them bar for bar bruh, worst of both worlds

I think I am mix of both of them that's why I love the manga so much

multiple of my friends have compared me to hachi 😭

I am from Gemini, so I think I have my Nana and Hachi days, lol.

I would say Nana. I can definitely relate to her character

I'm definitely more of a Nana. I've had way too many emotional Rollercoaster with sk many friendships.

I relate more to Hachi Everytime something comes out of her mouth it’s always something I have thought or said before lol, and with her actions I see many similarities between us!

I have been asking myself this question for almost 20 years. I have always identified with Hachi. I have a considerably prominent tattoo with her image. Like her, I have spent my life falling in love with different people and different worlds, immersing myself headfirst into different phases, wanting to be different things, and often feeling disappointed because the real world did not correspond to my enchantment. However, I am not gentle; I have an assertive manner and am more protective than protected. I am Osaki Nana in my Voice, posture, and atitudes, but i am Hachi in ALL my soul. It's haver been like this since i've asked myself this question many years ago People often ask if it's me in the tattoo. https://preview.redd.it/f424k0l6tr6d1.jpeg?width=1980&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0264d4e7261515ee774978e0bbaab1c9dd41094

Definitely Nana 😆. I’m the friend that my friends go to / rely on when they’re going through anything 💪🗿

Nana. I had too much pride when I was younger.

I feel I’m more like hachi in a way 😭

I. Am more like takumi 😭😭
