Nana Osaki is one of the best manga series by Ai Yazawa, and we have its anime adaptation. This main character isn’t afraid to be a liberated person, which includes sex. 

Yes, this anime touches on that sensitive topic without turning it into a porno!

Besides, this anime is about love and rock 'n' roll too. And hell yeah - characters are pure gold in Nana with one had short hair. It was a shame that there weren't many more chances for a sequel anytime soon.

Let’s go back to Nana Osaki who has kind-heartedness and devotion as friends. Abandoned by her parents when she was young, she went through hardships including accusations from her peers such as prostitution. 

This is because this punk-looking lady doesn’t hide her love for sex (of course with precautions like birth control and safe sex).
