They say opposites attract! And that’s certainly true of the friendships in both of these series. In Kuragehime, quiet, jellyfish-otaku Tsukimi befriends cross-dressing fashionista, Kuranosuke; whilst in Nana, cutesy, boy-crazy Komatsu Nana finds an unlikely bond with punk-rocker Osaki Nana. The female characters in these series are really easy to relate to, as they each have foibles and quirks which make them seem more real. Both series also have characters with forms of Anxiety. Osaki Nana suffers with panic attacks, and Tsukimi (along with some of the other Amamizukan residents) has some social anxiety. The series’ plots also have a somewhat ‘fish out of water’ theme, as the main characters find themselves in situations they would never usually find themselves in, with people very unlike them. Though Kuragehime is more lighthearted than Nana, both have moving moments and characters that you can truly care about! The art styles of both are very quirky and beautifully drawn. Though Nana doesn't revolve around fashion as much as Kuragehime, the characters wear some amazing clothes. So, if you enjoy series with plenty of interesting fashion to gawp at, I would definitely recommend reading Nana!
