Story
Synopsis
Two young women, both named Nana, meet by chance and end up sharing an apartment in Tokyo, despite living almost entirely opposite lives. Nana Komatsu is soft-hearted and chasing romance, while Nana Osaki is a fierce, driven punk vocalist chasing rock stardom with her band. As their friendship deepens into something like family, both women navigate love, ambition, betrayal, and the messy compromises adulthood keeps demanding of them. It is a genuinely mature, emotionally raw drama about female friendship, treating its characters' flaws and mistakes with real honesty rather than tidy resolution.
⚠ Background — may contain spoilers
Nana is based on Ai Yazawa's manga, animated by Madhouse, and aired from 2006 to 2007. It became one of the defining josei anime of its era, praised for its unusually frank, grounded portrayal of adult relationships, ambition, and friendship at a time when much of anime skewed toward younger audiences. The manga's hiatus since 2009 has left the story famously unfinished, but the anime remains a beloved touchstone for viewers seeking mature, character-driven drama, and Nana Osaki in particular remains one of anime's most iconic and influential female protagonists.
