I love to read this story again and again. The characters are all such complex individuals, their sadness and pain runs through all the pages while there's lots of situational comedy. And without ever using labels, this story is definitely one for the bisexuals <3

NANA is a story that took some warming up to. When my sister first put me on to it, I was fairly dismissive of the on-the-surface romantic trappings.

"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.

I liked the characters of this manga, but was a bit underwhelmed by the story. I am interested to see how the two Nanas interact in the sequels, given that that’s the premise that sold me on getting the first book to begin with.
