The 2003 anime Nanaka 6/17 is now available on Hulu, complete with an English dub and subtitles. The series centers on Nanaka Kirisato, a high school girl whose life takes a bizarre turn when an argument with her delinquent friend Nenji leads to a fall, causing her mind to regress to that of a six-year-old.
Produced by J.C.Staff, known for hits like Toradora! and Food Wars!, Nanaka 6/17 delves into the comedic and dramatic fallout of Nanaka's condition. Her father and Nenji must conceal her regression while navigating the challenges of caring for her childlike state, leading to awkward and heartfelt situations.
The 12-episode series adapts the manga of the same name and explores themes of responsibility and friendship against the backdrop of Nanaka's unique predicament. While the original broadcast concluded in 2003, its availability on Hulu allows a new audience to discover this completed comedy-drama.
