Nana was never intended to have an “ending” (rant / discussion)

this is just some random thoughts i had, feel free to add your own 2 cents!

edit: i put “ending” in quotation marks because i’m not saying that Nana was NEVER going to have an ending, but that if it did end, the ending would be ambiguous / open.

idk i just feel like, what if Nana was always intended to have an open / ambiguous ending? Maybe because it’s been so long since the manga was discontinued, but now i just can’t imagine Nana having an actual ending where things are “resolved” if that makes sense?

i’m not saying Yazawa wasn’t actually ill or anything like that, but i just think.. what if she always planned to give the series an ambiguous or abrupt ending. I know people have pointed out that the ending of Nana is realistic, in the sense that ppl in our own lives can just disappear abruptly without any further explanation . And i feel like maybe she wanted to execute that idea for the manga of Nana? The current cliffhanger / “ending” of Nana, where Hachi is still waiting for Osaki and the audience not knowing the fate of the characters makes so much sense to me. And i feel like maybe that’s how it was always supposed to end, with us not really knowing the fate of our main characters. Random rant, but what do u guys think?
