A man sexually forces himself on a woman. A woman is blamed repeatedly for being groomed. A woman is cheated on. A man forces a woman to give birth. A man emotionally and sexually abuses a woman. A gay relationship is played off by the end (not sure if this was by choice or by force).ollieez's review against another edition

"Oh, great, another romantic anime that my sister will gus about then hate a couple months later." But she never finished it, and I dropped it shortly thereafter. A couple years later, I decided to give it another try. Through the ups and downs, I stuck with it and was rewarded with a genuine exploration of a romantic friendship between two women who may or may not remain friends by the end of the story.
This is my first foray into the manga, a story that remains unfinished, and the anime kept fairly close to the original story. Nana K is an excitable, naive girl who wants the romance of the stories. Most people can't stand her childishness or take advantage of her kindness. Nana O is an orphan in a 'complicated' relationship with a former band mate, and strives to become a rock star performing for millions.
They are as different as two women can be, but the gimmick behind sharing a name really does wonders to contrast their differences and similarities. This is a beautiful start so far. I hope I can reach the end.

The high rating is for the respect I have for the mangaka alone. “Nana” is a very real depiction of life, from heartbreak, abuse, friendship, intimacy, etc. The dual stories of the two women and their struggles is something you don’t often see in this type of media. But that is also the beauty of it, the mundane realization that life moves on even if you don’t want it to. The realization we often have of, “how do we go forward from here?”. The series is a true classic that I think everyone should experience but do so at your own discretion as there are heavier topics talked about from the start. (This is not a series I would recommend moving fast through).
