Nabari no Ou 15th Anniversary!

@nabaridays wrote up some prompts to celebrate the 15th anniversary of NnO and as it’s my favorite manga series of all time, I had to join the fun!

Unfortunately, I wasn’t aware of the prompts’ existence until we were about four or five days in, so instead of starting in the middle of the prompt list, I wrote all mine up in a Google Doc and decided to do a big masterpost in the day of the anniversary. And here it is! Beware for a lot of reading, this shit’s at 4.1k words.

Nabari Appreciation Day 16 — Happy Anniversary! 

I wanted to make something grand for the anniversary but ran out of time. But something small can be grand in its own way right! 

I honestly don’t have the words to express how much nabari no ou means to me. I adore all of Kamatani’s works but nno holds a special place in my heart both because of the impact of the story and characters in themselves and for introducing me to Kamatani as an author/artist and their incredible storytelling and stunning artwork. Ever since I first read nno it’s been one of my favourite series, and I hope as Kamatani’s more recent works grow in popularity, more people will discover Nabari no ou as well.  Happy 15th anniversary!

Happy 15th Anniversary Nabari No Ou!! @nabaridays

Things have been a little busy so I didn’t get the chance to make a new art piece for the 15 year anniversary, but I can’t begin to explain how much this series and Yuhki Kamatani as an author/artist means to me. I picked up the first volume ten years ago and saw so much of myself in the emotions and identity of these characters, understanding the importance of found family and growth. I’ve found so much comfort in Kamatani’s series, but Nabari No Ou will always be immensely dear to me. I can’t recommend the manga series enough and I really hope more people can show the same love to Kamatani’s work outside of Shimanami Tasogare as well!

Nabari Appreciation Day 15  — Favourite minor / supporting character

Gau makes the top of the fave supporting character list over Kazuho and Sourou cause we’re both band kids, so here’s a half-done drum-boy tribute

@nabaridays Day 13: Food

Kazuhiko and Kazuho had a difficult childhood, but they surely shared many happy moments together, too. Since Yukimi likes melon pan, here they are enjoying some after school.

Despite their desperate childhood, they both became great adults. I can’t say I know what they went trough because I am blessed with a wonderful family, that gives me so much support I am almost fearless. But some years ago, there were times when I thought that I wouldn’t live beyond thirty, and there wasn’t much to look forward. Well, now I’m almost thirty and there are tons of things I am looking forward to doing.

I would just like to tell younger Nabari fans that it does get better, that you and the world around you are changing constantly, and no matter how many adversities you face, there will always be joyful times that make it all worth it.

Happy 15th anniversary, Nabari no Ou!!

i’m late, but this is also for day 5 (favorite character design) and day 15 (favorite minor/supporting character) of Nabari Appreciation Days (@nabaridays​)! NnO has so many great character designs but I’ve always been partial to Juuji and especially the manga version of the Fuuma kimono ♥

@nabaridays Day 11: Favourite song from the OST

Aru ga mama, by Anamu & Maki. That soothing and healing ending song is a blessing for all Nabari fans.

[hayatako]

@nabaridays Day 12: Are there any songs that make you think of Nabari?

“Farewell” by Apocalyptica suits Yoite’s story, in my opinion. It’s dark and melancholic and intense and is played by three cellos. Check it out if you have time!

Other than that, the kind of music I usually listen to doesn’t really suit NnO. Power metal is too dramatic, progressive rock is too weird and baroque music is too old. Well, baroque music could go well with Alya Academy arc. As for classical music, many pieces from composers from Romanticism like Beethoven, Tchaikovsky or Chopin could make a good soundtrack for Kamatani’s works.

Nabari Appreciation Day 11 - Favorite OST Songs

@nabaridays

OK, so I know that the prompt said singular song, but I really do love the OST. So! I’m serving up 10!

01 - 03: Banten - Where It Begins Gentle but atmospheric. 

01 - 08: Tobari’s Determination This is Tobari’s theme, but I feel like I remember it playing whenever someone was about to take action (or possibly at the end of episodes?) So to me it has a tense feeling of anticipation.

01 - 19: A Death God’s Wish Always gives me a sense of yearning.

02 - 02: So Near, So Far Makes me ache, but in a really soft way.

02 - 04: Deep Darkness For me, this is the most iconic track on the OST. It’s what I always think of when I think of the Nabari anime, asides from the main theme.

02 - 06: Life and Death I love the dynamic shift from the beginning of this song to its end. Haunting.

02 - 12: Yukimi’s Melancholy everyone who has been following my posts so far: god this binch really loves Yukimi

02 -24: Main Theme (piano solo) Playing the main theme on the piano alone really highlights the aching beauty and sadness of the track. Probably second most iconic to me.

02 - 25: Where You Arrived At Feels like healing.

02 - 27: Departure A quiet but still grand finale.

(and for those that don’t know, the art is a sketch that accompanied the second drama CD. I was originally gonna use the cover art for drama CD 2 since it has Gau playing the drums -music!- but then I remembered how much I liked this piece lol.)

Nabari Appreciation Day 10: Alternative Universe Despite how this looks, I’m not necessarily suggesting an alternative development where Kouichi doesn’t return to the shinrabanshou. It’s just, I wish they got a chance to talk more, express their feelings, especially Kouichi…. I want happiness for birdboy, for him to stop pursuing death and live for like a few seconds, even if that doesn’t change his and Shijima’s final resolve
