Nana Komatsu is a young woman who's endured an unending string of boyfriend problems. Moving to Tokyo, she's hoping to take control of her life and put all those messy misadventures behind her. She's looking for love and she's hoping to find it in the big city.
Nana Osaki, on the other hand, is cool, confident and focused. She swaggers into town and proceeds to kick down the doors to Tokyo's underground punk scene. She's got a dream and won't give up until she becomes Japan's No. 1 rock'n'roll superstar.
This is the story of two 20-year-old women who share the same name. Even though they come from completely different backgrounds, they somehow meet and become best friends. The world of Nana is a world exploding with sex, music, fashion, gossip and all-night parties.My Review:
The two heroines may have the same name but their personalities juxtapose one another in a sensational manner! A very engrossing read which will tug your heart strings! The artwork is really good. In fact, the character's facial expressions sometimes almost feel real. A dynamic plot which focuses heavily on the personalities of the two heroines and their companions.
My Grade: A

hi Eden :) love your blog!wow,you have so many posts!
ReplyDeleteI also liked Nana though at times it pissed me off. Hachiko, if I'm not wrong, seemed like an idiot. Most of the times I just wanted to punch her :D The plot is great though. Very realistic and heart-warming.
Thanks, Ayame! I agree 100%! Hachiko is so stubborn and does behave idiotically quite frequently! I just love the storyline and the facial expressions are so realistic sometimes that I feel like I am actually there.
