Welcome to NanaManga.com – a fan-made space devoted to Nana, the legendary manga series by Ai Yazawa. Created by passionate readers, this site is a heartfelt tribute to a story that continues to resonate with fans across generations.
First published in 2000 in Cookie magazine, Nana follows the lives of two women—Nana Osaki, a fierce punk-rock vocalist with dreams of fame, and Nana Komatsu, a wide-eyed romantic searching for love and stability. Fate brings them together as roommates in Tokyo, and their bond becomes the emotional core of a story that blends music, heartbreak, ambition, and friendship.
With 21 volumes released before going on hiatus in 2009, Nana became a cultural phenomenon. It won the Shogakukan Manga Award for Shōjo in 2003 and has sold over 50 million copies worldwide. Despite its unfinished status, the impact of Nana remains profound—sparking endless discussion, fan art, adaptations, and devotion from readers everywhere.
