A review by thefacethatmakesheaven
Nana, Vol. 1 by Ai Yazawa

dark emotional funny lighthearted sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

DO NOT READ THESE BOOKS. THEY WILL BREAK YOUR HEART. They don’t end up together in the end. Hachi has comphet and Nana is in denial of liking girls in a serious manner.
