''Majikaru, Domikaru ! Transform me into an adult !''
Line 14:
Nanaka 6/17 is a fun light-hearted (if sometimes bittersweet) comedy about [[Coming of Age Story|growing up]] and how much one should change between childhood and adulthood. There's no [[An Aesop|easy answer]] though, and it does not end with a forced [[Happy Ending]].
 
This story was originally published as a 12-volume [[Manga]] from 2000 to 2003 before being adapted as a [[Twelve -Episode Anime|Thirteen Episode Anime]] in 2003. All thirteen episodes of the English dub are [http://www.youtube.com/show/nanaka617 available] on [[YouTube]], though the last five episodes are mislabeled<ref>The video titles and descriptions act as if the [[Bonus Episode]] is in its chronological place when it's actually at the end of the series. To view the series in proper chronological order, watch episodes 1-8, then "13" followed by "9-12"</ref>.

----
This show provides examples of:
* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: Poor Arashiyima, and sometimes Nenji.
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Nanaka's dad is nice, but entirely clueless.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: averted for Nenji : Nanaka is fed up by his attitude, and Amemiya only starts being interested in him when the plot has him become gentler. But inverted with Nanaka, who suddenly becomes popular with boys because of her "bold" and "shameless" behaviour.
Line 25 ⟶ 23:
* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: {{spoiler|Amemiya}} to {{spoiler|Nenji}}, [[Empathic Environment|under the rain to boot]], in Volume 8, Chapter 64 of the manga ; {{spoiler|and repeated in Volume 10, Chapter 86, again (at least a part of it) under the rain}}.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Nenji's wild haircut is lampshaded heavily.
* [[Armor -Piercing Slap]]: Amemiya gives one to Nenji in episode 8 when she walks in on Nanaka forcefully trying to give him a sponge bath.
* [[Baker's Dozen]]: Takes place between episodes 8 and 9; doubles as a [[Day in The Limelight]].
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]: Nenji fails pulling it off in episode 3 due to Nanaka's interference.
Line 33 ⟶ 31:
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Yoshida makes minor appearances in episodes 6 and 7 before before his actual introduction in episode 8.
* [[The Chew Toy]]: Arashiyima. The poor guy gets effortlessly beaten up by Nenji repeatedly, his little sister keeps hitting him with a stick, and more generally he suffers complete humiliation every time he appears on screen.
** Amemiya too, as her repeated attempts at getting Nenji's favours get systematically foiled, and, [[Festival Episode|in the manga's New Year chapter]], she even get a "Daikyou" ("Worst Luck") mikuji which advises her to give up on [[All Love Is Unrequited|unrequited love]]. {{spoiler|Subverted in that [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone|she scores him in the end, in the manga that is]]}}.
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Nanaka isn't too fond of Kuriko, especially after she spends too much time with Nenji in episode 5. The feeling is mutual with Kuriko towards Nanaka.
* [[Color Failure]]: After Nanaka has a fight with Nenji, she angrily brushes off her dad's attempt to spend more time with her. It affects him so much that he stays in that same exact position till the end of the episode.
Line 43 ⟶ 41:
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Nenji lost his father when he was 8. It's a plot point at least two times in the manga : it's his [[Freudian Excuse]] for becoming a violent [[Delinquents|Deliquent]], and it helps him {{spoiler|[[Spotting the Thread]] when 17-year Nanaka pulls a [[Batman Gambit]] in order to get rid of her 6-year [[Split Personality]], as 6-year Nanaka would never have any memories of Nenji's father's funeral}}.
* [[Dojikko]]: 6-year-old Nanaka.
* [[AbuseDouble IsStandard Okay When ItsAbuse (Female Onon Male)]]: Poor Arashiyima, and sometimes Nenji.

* [[Eighties Hair]]: Arashiyima's mullet is mocked by Nenji, of all people.
* [[Episode Onon a Plane]] Manga-only, volume 8, chapter 70 : Nanaka goes to USA for a while to take her mind off things, {{spoiler|and the plane she's in get hijacked ; it's at this time that her second [[Split Personality]], [[Meaningful Name|Hiro]], emerges, and [[Curb Stomp Battle|promptly beats the shit out of the terrorists]]}}.
* [[Exact Eaves DroppingEavesdropping]]
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Nanaka's dad.

* [[Growing Up Sucks]]: Nanaka and Amemiya.
* [[Heir to Thethe Dojo]]: Arashiyima, who has no fighting skills and couldn't care less, to his sister's distress.
* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: Amemiya probably feels this way through most of the series. Doesn't help that 17 year old Nanaka rubs it in with Nenji being the "most precious thing to her in the world." in one episode.
* [[I Let You Win]]: Manga-only. {{spoiler|In Satsuki's [[Backstory]], when she and Nenji were little children, he stole her bokken, gave her a piko-piko hammer, and told her that if she manages to hit him with it, he'll give her back her bokken. She tries many times, and fails ; but, when she tearfully says that the bokken is a treasured birthday present from her brother, and swears to get it back, Nenji lets her hit him, and give it back}}.
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
* [[It Got Worse]]: Poor Nenji in episode 8. He catches a cold, and Kuriko, Nanaka, and Amemiya all make it a point to take care of him. [[Hilarity Ensues]] as the first two girls make a mess of things as they continually try to one up each other, with Amemiya largely being caught in the middle.

* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Nenji, though he quickly loses the "jerk" part.
* [[Kabuki Sounds]]: Whenever Satsuki Arashiyima talks, as part of the joke.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: {{spoiler|17-year old}} Nanaka, most notably in episode 7 when she {{spoiler|walks right past an injured child.}}
* [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]] => [[Split Personality]]: Nanaka's mental condition, which started as the former, and evolved as the latter when the 17-year, aka the original, personality re-emerged ; and in the manga, {{spoiler|she later develops a ''second'' [[Split Personality]], Hiro, which is Nanaka's [[Wish Fulfillment]] of the person she wants to be}}.

* [[Take a Third Option]]: When Kuriko and Nanaka force Nenji to take one of them to the Pop'N Land theme park in episode 5, he decides to take both of them, or else he won't go. Both girls reluctantly agree.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Nenji pretty much lays it out to Nanaka while back in her 17 year old state of mind on the school trip. She responds by giving him repeated slaps.
* [[Time Compression Montage]]: The ''Magical Domiko'' play.
* [[Token Mini MoeLoli]]: Kuriko.
* [[Training Montage]]: Nanaka learning to play the piano.

Line 100 ⟶ 99:
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: In the manga, {{spoiler|Amemiya}} scores Nenji, even though it's implied it'll only be completely set in stone when {{spoiler|Nanaka will wake up from her coma, as both Amemiya and Nenji agreed to put their relation on hold so that Nenji can fully concentrate on taking care of Nanaka until then}}.
* [[We Want Our Jerk Back|We Want Our Jerk Back (Don't We?)]]: Nanaka, who at 17 is very much a jerk, unlike 6-year-old Nanaka.
