Feb 17, 2025As the back-mater indicates, this volume served as a bit of a prologue to the rest of the series, setting up the backstories of the two girls named Nana who we will see in the rest of the series. Because of that, this volume felt more like two short stories put into one. Regardless, the stories are still compelling, and Yazawa is a master at developing characters in a short period of time. This series has been central in an age-relevancy debate for some time, sometimes finding a home in high school libraries while other times seeming too mature. There are some heavier topics of sexuality, drug use, and some sexual situations with brief nudity. While the story is rich and has beautifully developed characters, some schools may find the subject matter too mature for their high school audiences. Read Full Review
