i totally agree Furuba. She should be with Nobu. It's painfully frustrating what decisions she is making.

I respect that she wants to have the kid (though she can't support it), and I'm glad Takumi wants to marry her, but bah. They don't love each other. Lust is more like it for them.

And OMG!!! oOOOOoooo... what about Nana and Yasu???!!!??? I was thrown for a complete loop!!! I knew Yasu had feelings for Nana (they've been dropping hints all over the place.) But I never picked up on Nana's feelings for him... or was I just blind??? O_o

eta: And Xinil... speaking from experience... lust can cause people to make some pretty BIG mistakes and stupid decisions in their life!! O_o

Nana and Yasu? I don't think there's anything going on between those two. Yasu is Nana's big brother imo.

Lust is evil, mmmhmm.

Did you not catch that ENTIRE intro... where she said... that when she was having troubles... or feeling bad... that Ren wasn't the one she wanted to go to??? Hahaha... open your eyes, young one!!! Yasu and Nana are sooooo gonna wind up together. If I'm wrong... I'll... I'll...

If I'm wrong... I'll make Aokaado eat his hat!!! (And I'll even have Arixx whip up a special sauce or gravy for him)!! Yeah... that's it!!!

But didn't you hear what she said to Yasu about the person that left when she got there? She said something like, "Do you think he got the wrong idea?"

And then she said, "I want to be a friend like you are to me, all nice and whatever." Yasu replies with, "It isn't as easy as it looks".

I don't think Nana likes Yasu in that way. Perhaps in the future, but she's def still with Ren.

I think she said all that to cover her ass. She looked a bit nervous. Yes, I think she still loves Ren... but I think she's starting to question that relationship. Honestly, I think she's been questioning it about the last 4 - 5 episodes. Especially when it comes to Ren wanting to start a family...

Mark my words... muahahaha

Well that'll be really interesting then.

I kind of think Nana (Hachiko) will die giving birth to the baby. That'd totally screw this series up, lol.

OMG... I didn't even think about that!! O_o All I know... is that all of the intros, first from Hachiko, now from Nana... talking to each other... it just sounds OMINOUS... I don't know if Hachiko dies... but I think something definitely comes between the two Nana's...

At first, when Hachiko was giving the narriatives, I thought it means that Nana was going to die by the end of the series. Now that Nana is giving the narriatives, I just don't know. But you know... something MAJOR is going to happen, I think, to seriously stress their friendship.

You're reading my mind. The narration at the beginning of the episode definitely made me wonder about the future of those two. It may be true Nana sees Yasu as her big brother, it wouldn't be the first time a Nana falls for a brother-like figure. Interesting theory.

I don't think Nana will die, as the manga isn't finished yet and that would mean hell a lot volumes without Nana. But I'm sure something really dramatic is going to happen.

ahhh junko, yay i liked all tht scolding, hopefully nana will now pull herself together and be able to pull through as a good mother.

and its great how finally shes not selfish and thinking about herself...tho it may just be the 'maternal instinct' which everyone knows.

DAMN poor nobu~~~ i liked him sooo much!!!!!!! poor him!! i feel so sorry for him, he sdeserves so better

What the hell.
No! I want her to be with Nobu, why does she have to have the kid and marry that guy? Why?! And more importantly, why is it that whenever the lead girl gets pregnent in any of the books/anime I'm into, she always has this "can't get rid of it no matter what, must keep it even if it means sacrificing everything" attitude towards it? Sure, there is a such thing as motherly instinct, but she really loved Nobu (at least I thought she did >.<;;). And, really, she never loved Takumi at all. She just had sex with him whenever he wanted it cause she was loney and had no one else to turn to. So, I don't like that she's marrying this guy she doesn't love and giving up a guy she does, It pisses me off.
Ahh, I'm so weird. I absolutely love drama, yet whenever it happens it screws things up from the way I like them to be and I get mad at it. It's like, I absolutely hate where the stories going, but I love it cause of all the soap-opra-type drama. I make no sense to myself...

Tamaki's reaction to seeing the open window shows that he cares more for Hachiko more than even he is probably willing to admit. As for Junko, she said it best when she said that if she didn't yell then Hachiko would probably not listen.

I don't know what to say about Takumi, it's like he has two different persons inside of him. Or he is just putting on an act (though I still haven't figured out which one is the act and which one is the real him)

Aaaargh! I just finished the episode and I'm so angry to everyone right now... To Komatsu Nana, just for being her. Aargh. Why would you do such a thing to Nobu, and to yourself. I'm losing my hope in her and Nobu getting together. To Takumi for messing arond with Nana. I still don't like him and don't want him to be with Nana. And to Nobu for running away like that, leaving Nana alone. Stupid Nobu.

This show is so painfully real isn't it? You see them do these things and think, "that's so stupid! I would have done this and this..." but when you're actually in the situation, you end up doing the same thing.. I'm glad such deep anime exist..

Well, I can say, I really liked and appreciate what Takumi did, seriously i like him much more after this episode. It's great how he told Hachi about wedding and how he get worried that she won't agree.

i still cant agree with takumi. it's not certain what his intentions are, does he really love nana? why is he doing all of this for her? he acts like he doesnt give a shit sometimes but other times he acts maybe out of guilt? i wouldn't trust that douchebag just yet

nana should go with nobu and find her happiness

also, Jun and Kyousuke scene was nice, it's been awhile since they've been involved

In my opinion, Hachi's getting ahead of herself... and just doing what she thinks is best for the baby - and putting aside her own wants. After all, I can't help but think that she just can't seriously prefer Takumi over Nobu. And I also agree with what Junko said - that Hachi's going with Takumi so that she doesn't pull Nobu away from his dream of being a musician, in which case he probably couldn't support her.

Somehow, I still hope everything will end happily... though it's hard to picture.

Same here... I seriously feel like killing someone right now.

Women like Hachi are the absolute worst. I've never understood why they choose to have kids even when they know that it would mean ruining their life and the lives of those who love them. Even as a woman, I can't understand the irrationality of Hachi's decision.

I mean, her life could've been a fairytale! She's finally found a romantic and gentle guy who loves her and treats her well, but she's throwing everything away just to have the kid of someone she doesn't care for anymore. If it's a kid she wanted, she could wait until they're older and then marry and have a family with Nobu (it would've headed that way if things hadn't turned out like this).

I haven't liked Hachi but this episode just tops that off. She is so annoying, I feel for her and I understand how she doesn't know what to do or who to turn to, but goddamn it woman, you seriously need to think things through better.

I feel so terrible for Nobu.. I hate what Hachi has put him through.. she sleeps around too easily and she must have known before getting with Nobu that there was a chance of her being pregnant with Takumi's baby, so why get so quickly into his pants? and why make him fall in love with her more, just to run back to Takumi since he made that speech of wanting to provide for her?

She knows Nobu would to everything he could for her, he obviously thinks more of her than Takumi does, and he has been a much better partner. I know she doesn't want to ruin his career but why just break him down like that?

I want to cuddle Nobu.

I'm not going to get into a morality debate or anything, and I partially agree with you. I know plenty of people my age (18) who are getting pregnant and having children. And I just have to ask, "what's the rush?" But I've got to play devils advocate and say that she's probably not having a baby to fuck around with her life or because she thinks she's ready for a baby. Hachi's having the baby because a) maternal instincts, and b) it was her silly mistake that she got pregnant in the first place. I think as a pregnant lady your thoughts carry you away. You start to think of how much of a terrible person you'd be for getting an abortion to better your life. Although I haven't had one, my friend has, and she's told me. It's silly to still be thinking that Hachiko's doing what's best for her; she's doing what's best for her baby now. The whole time I've been monitoring these discussion boards and there are COUNTLESS people talking about how selfish Hachi is. And the moment she sacrifices her happiness for someone elses life, she still gets reprimanded. Give the girl a break. She's in a very difficult position, and I think saying, "Be with Nobu! Fuck Takumi! Get an abortion!" is easier said then done.

I'M SO RELIEVED! I'm really loving Takumi right now. He's annoying and pathetic, but he really loves Hachi, and that's so important. I do feel bad for Nobu, and I think him and Hachi make the better couple, but Takumi still is a good person who cares for Hachi.

But you have to say, Nobu and Hachi aren't the best couple either, because neither of them are responsible. Takumi is able to embody that pillar of support for Hachi that Nobu can't.
