Nana (2in1)
Nana. Tom 1
Dwie dziewczyny, których nie łączy nic poza imieniem, rozpoczynają w Tokio nowy rozdział swojego życia. Nana Komatsu ma za sobą niekończącą się historię nieszczęśliwych miłości, a cały jej świat kręci się wokół chłopaków: byłych, aktualnych i przyszłych. Przeprowadza się do wielkiego miasta, by wreszcie wziąć los we własne ręce. Nana Osaki to charyzmatyczna i pewna siebie wokalistka punkowego zespołu z niewielkiego miasteczka. W dniu dwudziestych urodzin kupuje sobie w prezencie bilet do Tokio w jedną stronę, aby spełnić największe marzenie – zostać prawdziwą gwiazdą rocka.
Obie wyruszają w drogę tego samego dnia i zupełnym przypadkiem spotykają się w pociągu. Niedługo potem los – lub kolejny przypadek – sprawia, że te dwie dziewczyny o kompletnie odmiennych charakterach i z całkiem różnych środowisk lądują w tym samym mieszkaniu.

Kocham Nanę całym sercem i każdy tom mogę ocenić automatycznie na pięć gwiazdek. Jeden z najważniejszych dla mnie tytułów, nie przyjmuję żadnych słów krytyki pod jego adresem, czytanie tej historii od początku z wiedzą na temat tego, co dzieje się później łamie mi serce na małe kawałeczki.

Tyle lat, tyle razy czytałam, a wciąż jest miłość bez końca ❤️
Niesamowite, że po takim czasie doczekaliśmy się w końcu polskiego wydania 🥹

"Hey Nana, do you remember the first time we met? I believe in things like fate.
So I think it was fate." 🍓 5 gwiazdek to za mało żeby ocenić to cudo 🍓

Czytanie tego po polsku jest jak spełnienie marzeń. Zanurzenie się w tej historii jest jak bycie w domu. Najgorsze, że dopiero zacznie się dramat. 4.25⭐, ponieważ jakoś muszę stopniować te tomy jakością.

Kocham ja nad życie jakby, to jest najpiękniejsze i najsmutniejsze co mnie w życiu spotkało co miałam okazje przeczytać

Powieści graficzne nie są mi obce, ale Nana to moja pierwsza manga. Cieszę się, że w końcu po nią sięgnęłam, zauroczyła mnie. Czuję, że kolejne tomy mogą być jeszcze lepsze, więc zostawiam 4.5

To moja pierwsza manga, bawiłam się świetnie.
Jeju ta historia jest niesamowicie wciągająca.
Straszne mnie interesują dalsze losy bohaterek i gdyby nie była taka droga to już teraz kupiłabym drugi tom.
Jeśli chodzi o wady to, nie lubię wstawek które przełamują czwartą ścianę, a raczej, lubię, ale nie w taki sposób jaki był w tej mandze? Nie wiem, możliwe ze to uniwersalne w mangach… ale to w sumie nie było cos co straszne mi się nie podobało i zepsuło mi odbiór.
I to oficjalne: to nie jest bezpieczne miejsce dla hejterów nany. Ktoś mógłby zarzucić, że postać Hachi jest strasznie infantylna i być może nawet nierealistyczna w pewnych momentach? Co jest odrazu widoczne, no tylko ktoś lekko rozumny by tego nie zauważył… Leczy myślę, że ten kontrast między bohaterkami dzięki temu jest jeszcze bardziej ciekawy.
Zastanawiam się czy następne tomy będą tak samo dobre i nie będzie tendencji spadkowej, bo ich ilość… no jest ich troche
czemu czytasz to od końca?

This is one of the best selling shojo manga series out there so I’m the problem, it’s me and I’m conflicted 🫣
I didn’t know anything about this series before reading this first volume and I was sort of expecting it to be general ‘two polar opposite girls are roommates and living in Tokyo - hijinks ensue’ story (which, in part, it is) so I was quite surprised to feel this overwhelming sadness running through the baseline of the narrative and it was a nice surprise to be honest. I also adored the fashion and outfits the characters were wearing throughout this volume and I loved Nana O and her interactions with Nana K. I really enjoyed the chapter where they were looking for furniture for their flat and I looked forward to seeing them interact and bounce off each other. They were two characters that worked really well together!
I think this is where my mixed feelings come in because I only started to enjoy the book and want to actually pick up and read the volume in the last 50 pages where the two Nana’s were spending more time together. The first 300 pages felt like a real slog to get through. It wasn’t boring to read per se, a lot happened and it was good to get to know each Nana individually before the two meet, but I didn’t find any of it very engaging. It’s possibly because we spend a lot of time with Nana K who I personally didn’t love as a character. I know she’s traumatised and is a victim in all this but she was a lot of work to read later on in the volume and I didn’t gel with her vapidity, shallowness and how hyperactive she was but I assume she’ll mature over the course of the story.
It feels bad because I really wanted to love this! 😖 As I enjoyed how this volume ended, I’ll give the second volume a try at some point for sure, I won’t give up on it yet as I love Nana O’s character a ton!

nana is an absolute diva

It's so great that these anniversary editions are being released so I can dive back into this world. Nana was my favourite manga series growing up and I never actually got fully caught up because manga is so expensive, so I will definitely be reading along with these as they're rereleased 💜

Styl mangi, mimo iż każda postać jest bardzo chudziutka i ma takie patyczkowe ciało, jest bardzo ciekawy i ikoniczny. O "Nanie" słyszałam już wcześniej, ale nigdy nie oglądałam ani anime, ani nie czytałam mangi po angielsku – gdy tylko dowiedziałam się, że seria będzie wydana po polsku, stwierdziłam, że najpierw muszę ją przeczytać. Dlatego czekam na więcej!

Oh my god? Nana's been on my radar for a while now, but I never got around to reading it until now. When I saw the 25th Anniversary Edition at my local library, I just had to pick it up. And I'm so glad I did!
To me, this manga truly captures the feeling of being a young adult, trying to balance childish dreams with the reality of living on your own in the world. The standalone chapters at the start are really powerful, and honestly a little heartbreaking. I'm concerned the story might get weaker as serialized chapters, but I think there's a ton of potential.
Neither of the main characters have personalities or lifestyles similar to my own, but as someone who also moved to Tokyo at age 20 without much of a long-term plan, I find this story relatable. I want to see them get their shit together and succeed!

Nana vol. 1 is an exceptional manga that mixes haute couture with a 1970s punk rock aesthetic.
In Nana, two girls, both named Nana, happen to meet on a train going to Tokyo. Each girl has her own reasons for starting over in the big city. Both Nana's are uniquely interesting and lovable. The narrative of both girls really grips you.
The art is stunning; no one's art is quite like Ai Yazawa. She has a wholly unique style and a fashion sense that's still hip and cool over 20 years later. Nana is worth it for the eccentric art style that helps enhance what is already a highly compelling narrative.
Its been over 20 years since I read Nana. It really stands the test of time. Decades later its still trendy and modern but completely unlike anything else out there. If you're looking for a more mature girls' comic, this is it.

The fateful meeting of two girls, with the same name, moving to Tokyo, Japan.
This was a lot of fun to read! I'd heard of Nana before while I was in highschool, but had never read it.
I really loved the art style in this. Everything looks so crisp and pretty. I love the outfits and style of the characters.
I also really enjoyed our two Nana's. One is boy crazy and a little naive, the other is an edgy rockstar.
This 25th Anniversary Edition is so pretty too! I'm not sure, but I think it's a bind-up of the original issues of Books 1 and 2. It was a little hard to figure out because it doesn't make it easy to find.
The first half of the book, we get introduced to the two Nana's individually. We meet their friend groups and get to know their characters. I liked the whole cast. We also get to know the baggage they'll eventually bring to Tokyo.
The second half of the book is where our two Nana's meet. They are definitely opposites that compliment one another.
I can't wait to read more of this manga!

Thank you NetGalley and VIZ Media for the free e-book in exchange for an honest review.
I’ve put off reading or watching Nana for years in hopes to wait for the series to finish being written, but once I saw the 25th Anniversary copy up for grabs I had to dive in. I absolutely loved every second of this book, I love the contrast between the Nana’s and I loved the side characters. The art style is beautiful, the pace and flow of the story is perfect. I haven’t read Nana before but reading the first volume felt like a warm hug and nostalgic. I felt each emotion the Nana’s experienced and teared up a few times myself. I am so excited to read the rest of the series!!

Boże, jakie to było dobre. Trochę się obawiałem przed lekturą, bo to nie jest typowy gatunek, który czytam, ale Nany skradły moje serca. Nie mogę się doczekać kolejnych tomów!
