Yano moves to Tokyo with his mother, Yoko, but after half a year he stops contacting Nanami, effectively breaking up with her. As the series progresses, he wrestles with his feelings for his dead girlfriend versus those for the living Nanami, whom he even calls "Nana-chan" at times. He has a hard time trusting Nanami, and displays jealousy and possessiveness, but he is also shown to be really childish and willing to receive affection (Nanami even compares him with a cat at one point).
Motoharu "Moto" Yano ( 矢野 元晴 ) is a popular boy whose girlfriend was killed in a car crash while out with another guy. After a short, but violent fight, Yoko hung herself as in Nana's case, Yano blamed himself for her death and therefore decided to sever all the ties with his past. When Yano announced his decision to go and visit Nanami, she accused him of being insensitive. Following an unexpected visit from Michiko, her former friend and wife of Yano's father, Yoko became increasingly paranoid, fearing he would leave her. In a series of flashbacks it is shown that Yano was forced to work part-time when his mother was diagnosed with cancer, but kept everything hidden from Nanami, not wanting to worry her. She befriends a co-worker named Akiko Sengenji, who is revealed to be one of Yano's classmates from the Tokyo high school he transferred to. 
Even so, she is still in love with Yano and unable to forget about their common past.
Tired of waiting, hurt and confused, Nanami starts a relationship with Takeuchi. It is revealed that Yano and Nanami kept in touch for about six months, then he stopped contacting her and disappeared without a trace.
