NANA

Komatsu Nana's past is revealed, from graduating high school to the time when her and Shoji met in Community College.

Nana likes Shoji, but has decided to remain friends so as not to ruin the relationship they have. Junko and Kyousuke reveal their plans to go to Tokyo and get into an art College there. Nana wants to go with them, but Shoji confronts her and says she should stay in their hometown.

Komatsu Nana's past is brought to a conclusion and we now reveal the past of the "other" Nana. Oosaki Nana is the vocalist in a local band, the "Black Stones", but problems soon arise when one of the members announce their intention to leave for Tokyo to join another band.

Ren has revealed that he will be moving to Tokyo to join the band "Trapnest". This leaves the rest of the band trying to decide what to do next, with Nana having to face the toughest decision of them all. Will she follow Ren to Tokyo, or remain behind to pursue her own dreams?

Back in the present, Nana and Nana meet on the train to Tokyo. More detail is revealed around their meeting and events immediately after.

The two Nana's agree to share the apartment. Shoji and the others worry about Nana living alone with a total stranger.

The two Nana's have now moved in together and decide to go shopping for furniture for the apartment. While talking, Oosaki Nana decides to nickname Komatsu Nana "Hachi" (eight) to make things less confusing.

Nana and Hachi get settled into their new apartment. Hachi begins her new job. That night, they receive a visitor from Nana's old band back home.

Nana and Nobu, along with Hachi, start their search for two more band members. Meanwhile, Shoji is asked to train a young girl named Sachiko. Hachi previously joked about Shoji having an affair with a woman named Sachiko, but this is just a coincidence, right?

Hachi's boss reveals some bad news to her. Meanwhile, Shoji is becoming closer with Sachiko, perhaps dangerously so. Nana's former band member, Yasu, makes an important decision.

Hachi is trying to get her life back on track after suddenly losing her job. Meanwhile, Shoji is forced to work out his feelings for Sachiko and Hachi.
