Review:
Nana vol. 1
is an exceptional manga that mixes haute couture with a 1970s punk rock aesthetic.
In Nana,
two girls, both named Nana, happen to meet on a train going to Tokyo. Each girl
has her own reasons for starting over in the big city. Both Nana's are uniquely
interesting and lovable. The narrative of both girls really grips you.
The art is
stunning; no one's art is quite like Ai Yazawa. She has a wholly unique style
and a fashion sense that's still hip and cool over 20 years later. Nana is
worth it for the eccentric art style that helps enhance what is already a
highly compelling narrative.
Its been over 20 years since I read Nana. It really stands the test of time. Decades later its still trendy and modern but completely unlike anything else out there. If you're looking for a more mature girls' comic, this is it.
