dolo2000: Let's Meet at Junes

In the 2000s, there was an extremely popular manga called Nana, where nothing all that important happened. It was a melancholic comedy about two new friends in their early twenties, both named Nana. They spend most of their time in Tokyo hanging out at bars, rocking Vivienne Westwood, working jobs, playing music, and balancing on and off romantic relationships. It was a detailed and messy character study that felt like falling in deeper with a friend group with every new issue.

Southern California is a sports-obsessed paradise, with dozens of collegiate and professional teams spread across the region and millions of cheering fans.
