About the author

Ai Yazawa (Japanese: 矢沢あい, Yazawa Ai) is a Japanese manga author and illustrator. Her pen name comes from singer Eikichi Yazawa, of whom she is a fan.
Yazawa started her comics career in 1985. She specialises in shojo manga (girls' comics). Most of her works have been serialised in the magazines 'Ribon', 'Cookie' and 'Zipper'.
Yazawa's stories focus on young, often rebellious women and their relationships. The characters are always very stylish, and Yazawa herself is known for her sense of fashion. (She even attended a fashion school for some time after high school.)
Among her most famous manga are Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai (I'm No Angel, 1992–1995), Neighborhood Story (1995-1998), Paradise Kiss (1999-2004), and Nana (2000-2009), the latter awarded a Shogakukan Manga Award in 2003. Some of these works have been adapted into anime and live action movies.

Reviews

[Ruth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yazawa Ai continues to break my heart with her poignant storylines and realism. The agony and grief of each character is so well depicted that it feels as if my own heart is being ripped from my chest.

The ultimate cruelty is the uncertainty as to whether or not the series will ever be finished due to Yazawa's illness. Will we will ever know if those who belong together will ever embrace once more?

[edel · Rating 5 out of 5]

The ending is uncertain for not only the characters, but for the Nana series itself. I do hope Ai Yazawa recovers from her illness. If this is the last volume, it will definitely be a cliffhanger that will always be stuck in my mind. For now, the only one who knows the end is Yazawa. But I do wish her well. Nana and Nana, so far, it has been an incredible journey. I hope to see you two in the new future. Please manga gods, let it be so!

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ plot
nana follows 2 women, nana komatsu and nana osaki, who move to tokyo for different reasons: nana komatsu to be with her high school boyfriend and friends, and nana osaki, a punk rock band member from her hometown, to pursue a professional music career. they meet on a train bound for tokyo and quickly become friends. by chance (or fate, as nana k. says), they both end up looking at the same apartment and decide to live together. as the story unfolds, they face challenges related to fame and love that put their friendship and relationships to the test.

“Hey Nana, do you remember the first time we met? I believe in things like fate. So I think it was fate.”

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ my thoughts
this series absolutely crushed my soul and ruined my life. i went into this series thinking it was some cutesy, slice of life series, but it turned out to be much more emotionally overwhelming and depressing than i expected.

nana delves into very raw and real topics about adulthood, especially relationships. it shows how complicated relationships can be and that life doesn’t always go as planned. it is also a reminder that no one is perfect and everyone faces their own struggles while chasing their dreams.

i wanted to share my thoughts about each character in detail too, but there’s just too much to cover 😭

nana now holds a special place in my heart, and i highly recommend this series to everyone. please make sure to check the trigger warnings first and have plenty of tissues on hand because it’s going to be one hell of an emotional rollercoaster.

i’m sad that the manga isn’t finished and ends on a major cliffhanger, but i’ll be waiting patiently for nana to return.

“Senti Nana... ti ricordi la prima volta che ci siamo incontrate? Lo sai, io sono il tipo che crede fermamente nel destino... quindi sono assolutamente convinta che il nostro incontro sia stato voluto dal fato. Ridi pure se vuoi...”

Nana. Questo manga è un qualcosa di strabiliante. Ho cercato ovunque qualcosa che potesse eguagliare le emozioni vissute con questa storia, ma non sono mai riuscita. Non sul filone romantico.
Mi rattrista sapere che la storia ormai è ferma da anni e anni e probabilmente nessuna domanda avrà una risposta, però l’amore provato verso questo manga è stato immenso.
Onestamente credo che sia quel genere ti manga che non vedrà mai una fine, l’autrice ha interrotto il tutto quando aveva un botto di carne al fuoco. Pensandoci ha dato inizio ha una serie di trame e sottotrame, fili intrecciati in modo infinito che se non hai tutto ben delineato, è un bordello assurdo.
Penso che prima di tutto, la storia d’amore di cui leggiamo è quella tra Nana e Hachi. È forse l’amore platonico più bello in cui qualcuno può imbattersi. Nana con la sua costante paura di essere abbandonata e messa da parte e Hachi che con la sua immensa ingenuità l’ha sempre amata e venerata nel modo più puro.
Ma le storie che vanno ad intrecciarsi sono tante, le emozioni infinite. Reira con Shin, ma il cuore ancora in mano a Takumi. Takumi verso il quale non potremmo far altro che non tollerare per la maggior parte del tempo. Poi ci sono i Blast, Nobu, Yasu, Shin e Nana stessa, sarà impossibile non amare tutti.
E poi c’è Ren. Ren, dopo Akito (ai tempi delle elementari), è tra i miei amori di carta più grandi e il suo epilogo mi ha fatta restare talmente male che ci ho pensato per giorni e giorni, dopo aver concluso la lettura.
Onestamente, dove l’autrice volesse andare a parere e il significato di questa morte, per il filo della trama e a giovamento della storia, è qualcosa che mi chiederò sempre. Ma, se c’è qualcosa che non le perdonerò mai, sarà l’allontanamento di Nana e Ren, con l’avvicinamento di lei a Yasu. Se il suo scopo era la coppia Yasu/Nana, per me come manga può anche restare incompleto.
Detto questo, una lettura che ti appassiona fino alla sua non fine, speriamo di sapere presto delle novità riguardo questa storia.

“Anche se in questo momento ti trovi lontano, sei sempre dentro di me. Ricordo il tuo sguardo forte e sincero, e ascolto sempre le tue canzoni, che sono la mia fonte di incoraggiamento. E tu, Nana? La senti, la mia voce?”

[Floralindblueskin · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's tough to explain why I ended up binge-watching the anime followed by binge-reading the manga. It's even more difficult to put into words what exactly I liked about Nana. So, instead, I will jot down some of the narrations, as a token for all that I have felt. A significant part of the story and the characters' lives revolved around music - particularly the genre and journey from being an underground band to be signed with a major label - it's a rare element to come across in mangas/books. I hope Ai Yazawa will someday complete Nana.

ai yazawa i'm in therapy because of you

[Anzû · Rating 1 out of 5]

This review will be for the WHOLE Nana series

Ok, so I FINALLY finished Nana and I’m jumping up and down because of how happy I am.

This was one of the worst stories I’ve read in a while, and trust me this says a lot. I can’t believe Yazawa dragged this useless story- Oh wait, I totally forgot. This series DOES NOT HAVE A FUCKING STORY! It’s all about useless drama thrown all around for the sake of what? Putting some manga artwork to good use? Maybe. But I still fail to see what the story is there. The drama of the two Nanas? Them being together until the end? More drama?? Drama drama drama and more fucking drama. I felt like I was watching a fucking soap opera, that’s what it was.


Armando ¿cómo pudiste hacer esto?

Or naaah, scratch that. I’ve got a better one:


Armando, estoy embarazada!

Oooooh, and guess what? One of them actually got pregnant. OH SNAP!


As I said. Useless.

But you know what? I actually enjoyed the beginning of it. I was thinking hey it seems interesting enough. Nana was cool, all punk rock and shit. Hachi or whatever her name is (I suck at Japanese names) was annoying as hell. Ren was awesome, another reason to read the damn 21 books!!! (overkill much????). However, some characters were cool for like 5 books. But 21?? Dude, seriously. 21??? For this?? This story?? This fucking drama??

..

Nah, fuck you but nah.

Dee, I wanna apologize right now for bashing it so much, I know you love it and all but it got me so damn angry. I didn’t know how angry I was until I started typing my “review” (if you can call it that). Funny thing that.

Yeah, so.. 21 fucking books. And she kills Ren in the end. And she doesn’t even end the series. Amazing. Fucking amazing.

But I won’t be a total asshole. It seems like Yazawa is sick and has been hospitalized for some time. Now she’s back home and writing again probably.

Ok, I’m sorry for her being sick and all, my best wishes for her health and I hope she gets well soon.[end of nice moment]

But 21 books???? REALLY???

I can’t seem to get over that..

If I could rate the series I’d give it two stars out of five just because the beginning was kind of interesting. The rest went downhill till it reached a manure wagon, made it explode and covered everything in horseshit.

Good times.

5/5 ⭐️
no me salen las palabras para expresar q nana va a quedarse en mi vida por siempre, es una historia tan cruda que rogaría que todo este ultimo tomo fuera mentira y ambas fueron felices.
las amo tanto y siento q pudieron haber evitado tantas cosas pero como lo dicen ellas mismas “es importante como vives tu vida”, este manga es algo que empiezas asi: 🥹🥹 y terminas asi: 😭😭 (soy esa)
hachi y nana solo merecen ser felices y takumi y reira merecen un balazo 🤗
necesito resolver muchas dudas pero en mi corazón siempre voy a creer que ambas son felices y estan juntitas para toda la vida

sin mas q decir, porque realmente estoy consternada, dejo las frases q mas me gustaron <3

“No importa de quien me enamore en el futuro, Nana sera la unica heroina de mi vida!”
“Dime Nana, si tu y yo hubiéramos sido novias ¿no crees que un abrazo habría bastado para arreglarlo todo”
“La carta de amor que dejaste aquel dia… Todavia la llevo conmigo”
“En mi historia, Hachi no desaparecerá nunca”
“Tu sabes Hachi, ese cuarto donde vivi contigo. Yo ame ese lugar. Porque tu estabas ahí”
“Oye Hachi, cuando la brisa del mar me abraza parece como si el sonido de sus olas me llamara dulcemente. Pero no puedo tirar esta vida que haz salvado”
“Es importante como vives tu vida”
“Oye, Hachi, ¿estas viviendo cada día de modo que si el final llega, no tendrías nada que lamentar?
“Tu sabes Hachi, cuando estaba sola, a decir verdad, siempre estaba llorando con ansiedad como un niño pequeño. Me alegra haberte conocido y me alegra decirlo”
“Hey Nana, por favor, no vayas a ningún lado y no huyas otra vez”
“Mirare por Nana, no en busca de su comprensión. Si no porque, amo a Nana, así de simple”
“Hachi, pare este año de cumpleaños, tengo que comprarme un presente, un boleto sencillo a Tokio. Vivi con esto en mente durante tantos años”
“Para todos siempre hay algo mas importante que yo”
“Ren una vez me dijo que me llevaría con el cuando el muriera. No quiero ser abandonada”

4,5/5

Wow!! This volume was intense. Thoroughly enjoyed and it seemed a fit ending, considering we don’t whether it’ll be more chapters in the future, for these characters.

As a whole, I liked “Nana” much better than “Paradise Kiss”. Because, here the characters act more maturely and less cartoonish(which was one of my issues with ParaKiss, especially regarding Caroline). I also think that Yazawa blended the setting with the plot more organically. Making it more grounded, specifically the hindrances of being famous and how to conciliate private and public lives.

My issues with the series relies on the portrayal of some ideas and romantic dynamics. Yazawa often brings some heavy subjects to her stories but I don’t think she succeeds in concluding them. For me, it never feels satisfying. Regarding the romance, sometimes was hard to go through because of how melodramatic they’re. Mainly Hachi’s, which annoyed me a lot.

Nevertheless, I’m glad that I finally got to pick it up. It’s a very unique story that, even without a “proper” end, manages to leave a solid impression.

Nana means so much to me.
I love this manga so much. It is so much more than what I thought it would be going into it. It has absolutely become one of my favourite mangas.

Ai Yazawa is so talented and so good at creating realistic and relatable characters. I have fallen in love with so many of these characters and they have absolutely become my comfort characters.

Nana really is a beautiful piece of media, I hope one day it will be finished.

Yeah that’s right! I am giving this a one star review because what the FUCK was that ending 😭😭😭😭 I get that it’s open ended and the author never finished the series, but it gets 1 star nonetheless for the emotional damage I’ve been dealt. I can’t believe this is how it ends!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need volume 22 where Hachiko divorces Takumi and goes to raise her kids with Nana RIGHT 😡 NOW 😡

[camii · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cuánto lloré con este tomo y pensar que ni siquiera es el final, que en realidad nunca sabremos más. Pero bueno, me dolió como reaccionaron todos y que Nana se enteró ya luego de que identificaran el cuerpo 😭
A pesar de que quedó inconcluso y con lo que leí en las escenas extras, en mi mente Nobu y Hachiko vuelven y Nana nunca se va por lo que crían al hijo juntos entre todos los amigos. Claro que no pasa.

[Rafia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think I cried throughout the whole entire book. I wish the author would continue but sadly its left off in a cliffhanger. I mean Yazawa gives enough details so you would know what would happen in the future but still I wish there was more. Can I give a six star rating because five star is not enough!!!!!! One of the best books you will ever read and it will have your heart aching for more!!!!

NANA is a tale of emotions,about emotions and people wishing for them,wishing against them and simply not knowing what to do about them

NANA is a story that stopped ages ago due to AI Yazawa-sensei illness.
it was cut off in a cliffhanger that can make you to scream in frustration and bow in front of sensei's magnificent work, seeing there are few mangas out there so realistic and raw.
every time i read it i feel confused,enthralled,pissed off,indignant and awed by the emotional rollercoaster this manga causes.

i loved NANA despite the fact that Ren incident and... Reira(who obviously wants to hook up with EVERY SINGLE MALE in this manga) and that happening...
so i love it
but it's still on hiatus

i'll wait for it

until it will be released...(i need closure)

[Kaye · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm mad there's no continuation for this story after this volume. And I'm mad that I saw the tragedy coming like... five volumes ago. But I still loved the story and the characters and I just want a resolution to the series. Excuse me while I scour the web for some fan-created content to satiate my curiosity.

I'll be lamenting about this series for a while...
