S3: Ep7 Why NANA Readers Should Watch Riot Women
from Nisreen's Art World · host Nisreen
Hello, this is Nisreen! Welcome to episode seven of season three. Today I’m talking about the new BBC series Riot Women. It came out last month, and I loved it so much. The story follows a group of women in their forties and fifties who start a punk-rock band to reclaim their voices — classic sharp, emotional Sally Wainwright writing.As I watched, it reminded me of NANA, the iconic 2000s manga by Ai Yazawa, which I discussed in a previous episode. The settings couldn’t be more different, yet the parallels are surprising. So today, I’ll share five reasons why NANA fans should watch Riot Women — and why Riot Women viewers might enjoy NANA. There will be spoilers, so feel free to come back later if you need to. I also share my process of drawing the thumbnail art for this episode in the YouTube video (https://youtu.be/moueMwWbbhU).Japanese version日本語版https://www.buzzsprout.com/2343799/episodes/18260559Please find related videos and script on my blog.https://rakssharqui.blogspot.com/2025/11/bilingual-post-podcast-s3-ep7-why-nana.htmlComments on my YouTube channel are more than welcome!
