NANA―ナナ― Volume 3 👩‍🎤

p.55

It’s in the handwritten text so easy to miss, but when she’s speculating about ナナs job at the SMクラブ she asks if she’s a 女王様 (which I’m assuming is slang for a dom or the like). Then a few pages later she says that she can’t be a 女王様, which is what I’m guessing she’s saying there (and also 淳子s reaction is exactly right :joy:).

In other news, only one more chapter until I’m caught back up!

Ooh, good catch. I definitely missed the link between the two.

Interesting, didn’t think of it that way. I think I remember from the French version that in Hachi’s fantasy, there is the big demon king, it’s no one in particular, just a God doing things like creating Sachiko to seduce Shouji, but that she calls sometimes Nana the demon queen, because from her point of view she is also a Goddess (at least that’s how I understood it)

But 女王様 doesn’t have demon in it, are you sure it’s the same thing?

Nope, not sure. Let me call my mom.

Maybe just share the number here so that we can ask her directly if we have questions?

Mom delivered, p.55 (or 54 in my edition but whatever)

“Are you being the dom?” you were spot on @shitsurei

Ok but then what does she say a few pages later when she says “she’s not a queen” or something like that while talking to 淳子 a little while later? Does she repeat “dominatrix” there too?

Just ask her to scan everything tbh.

Mom says hi

Ok that confirms it then. Merci maman.

OUINNN

That is a very nana-esque sound!

By the way, can I ask you to post the poll for chapter 8 for me on Friday? :folded_hands: after that I should be able to go back to normal with book club duties

Fo sho. So we skip this week?

Yep, people were saying in the main thread that a week break would definitely help. Did you already read it?

Oh. I thought it was “before volume 4” since we usually take breaks between volumes.

No I haven’t started this week so it’s no issue at all.

Could be doing that too, maybe that makes more sense?

Not worth switching things now IMO.

Alright, then thanks for the help in advance :+1:

I snorted. :rofl:

Actually just searching for images of 女王様 would have made it very clear that it is in fact a very specific term that has little to do with the royalty.

I decided to check because I think it’s important to learn accurate vocabulary and I take my Japanese studies very seriously.

Don’t forget to add it to your image book @Akashelia
