Teen listening intently to grandmother for deep dive on latest “Nanalore”

RAWDON, QC – Local teen Ben Glasgow, age 16, was listening intently to his grandmother’s origin story to catch up on the latest “Nanalore” drop. His grandmother, Grace Glasgow, was recounting her English family’s emigration from India in the aftermath of Partition.

“This journey sounds epic,” said Glasgow. “Even the name Partition sounds epic. Intense faction rivalries, a deep mythology and history, and incredible characters!” said Glasgow. “There’s even crossover stories with Grandpa. I’m taking notes to update my fandom.com wiki when I get home.”

His grandmother dropped a new memory about eating fresh mangoes from the tree near her home in India before leaving as a child, which led Glasgow to ask about a fan theory of his about the railway lines where her father worked.

Glasgow continued, “Sure, One Piece has been going for over a hundred volumes but Nanalore started in freakin’ 1934! It can be a little tricky for casual fans to follow because the narrative is being told totally out of order. And sometimes the stories about the cousins of friends that Nana met once or the gardening subplots can drag on but there’s some great episodes, like the time Nana traveled by ship to Australia!”

Other things he loves in the Nanalore are the rich, unique characters that come in and out of the story, and the variety of settings she has visited based on cultures ranging from Austria, to South Korea, to even his own home here in Canada.

“This world is so deep and believable,” said Glasgow. “Though maybe the English are a little much. I’m not crazy about stories where the bad guys are cartoonishly evil.”
