Latest revision as of 20:27, 21 April 2017

Bonus Pages or Bonus Page, also referred to as Junko's Place, Junko's Room, Junko's Bar or Junko's Snack Bar are located in the back of each volume of Nana. Junko Saotome hosts the bonus pages in her bar called "Junko's Place" on the seventh floor of the "Yazawa Building." The Family Times is a newspaper that is usually included along with the bonus pages. The newspaper is mysteriously delivered to Yazawa's characters at midnight.

Many of Ai Yazawa's previous characters can be found on the seven floors, such as "Noriji's Soba Spot," and "Bar Mamiya." The most famous being "Isabella Island," where Nana and Hachi are lost for numerous bonus pages.

The bonus pages are only absent in volume 20, because Ai Yazawa thought that it would be inappropriate due to the ending of the Chapter 77.

Bonus pages

Volume 1

Junko-chapter

First bonus page

"Well alrighty then, everyone, come on in. Did you like the manga?"
—Junko's first words in the bonus pages

The very first bonus page was titled "Junko," possibly because both the prologue chapters are named after Nana Komatsu and Nana Osaki. Junko opens up the bar and Kyosuke, Shoji, and Nana stop by. The tone of the first bonus page sets a precedent for the rest.

Junko and Nana promote the release of the first volume of Paradise Kiss. References to Ai Yazawa's other series, Gokinjo Monogatari and Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai are made.

Behind the scenes

The idea of "Junko's Room" pages might be based on the longest-running single-hosted TV talk show “Tetsuko no Heya” (literally “Tetsuko’s Room”)[2]. The show featured Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's[3] discussions with celebrities from various fields, including television, sport and politics. With her clipped speech, she has drawn out of the guests countless anecdotes related to their profession. She has also prompted them to speak about their personal problems and sometimes make surprise announcements. It was very successful, and holds the Guinness World Record for the most TV talk show episodes hosted by the same presenter.

Similar to the said show, on bonus pages, Junko and other Yazawa's characters discuss various things, their problems, fan-art, joke and make announcements.
