Nana 25th Anniversary Edition (2025)

Two young women named Nana, one with a punk background and one a romantic who falls in love too fast, find each other in Tokyo and build a friendship that outlasts every boyfriend. Ai Yazawa writes desire, jealousy and bad decisions with a frankness most romance never risks, and the relationships feel lived in rather than scripted. The caveat matters for anyone who needs a resolution: the series has been on hiatus since 2009 because of Yazawa's health, and it stops with its biggest threads still open. Viz's 25th Anniversary Edition, which began in October 2025, is the current English printing.
