Komatsu "Hachi" Nana is a 20-year-old Genki Girl from the countryside with a bad habit of falling in love at first sight.
Oosaki Nana is a 20-year-old punk rocker from a different small city, who's coming off a bad breakup with her boyfriend (and former bass player of her band).
When "Hachi" decides to follow her boyfriend to Tokyo, and the other Nana heads there to start her music career, the two young women meet by chance on a snowbound train. They rent an apartment together several days later.
Surprisingly realistic drama and an oddly romantic friendship ensues.

  • Won the Shogakukan Manga Award for Shojo in 2002

Currently on an indefinite hiatus since 2009 due to the mangaka's health.

Greatest romance manga

The best romance manga according to me. The story is very deep, the characters are all well potrayed. You will get annoyed at characters making certain decision, but you'll also understand why they made those decisions. All characters mature as the story progresses. Nana Oosaki is one of the best waifus of all time, if you don't like her, somethings wrong with you. Anyways, YOU MUST READ THIS MANGA.
