Don't come along everyday. It really seems to transcend the line between manga and a novel. It's beautifully illustrated, and the dialogue between the characters is so real and emotional. I love this series, and I also love the Nana series by Ai Yazawa. Her style is so... picturesque? Emotional? I find that everytime I pick up one of her works I am spellbound until the last page.

Fantastic
I got obsessed with Nana when it was in a monthly Animation mag that I received. They stopped having it in the magazine on the 7th or 8th edition, so I had to go and buy it. Now I have all of them. Nana is about 2 girls who's name is Nana. It's how they meet and become friends. One Nana is a punk girl who sings in a band, The Black Sones. And the other Nana is just a girl with bad luck in ...

Surprise twist ending!
I want to write a review without spoiling anything for someone who hasn't read it yet. Let's just say that this book has a happy ending, but not the ending you expected. Not the kind Disney would feed you. Let's just say Arashi has issues with Hiroyuki, George & Yukari are still questioning their relationship over their couriers,Everyone makes fun of George's committment issues like dating more ...

Moving forward...
In this installment to Paradise Kiss the character of Yukari continues to grow and become her own person(YAY!). For the first time I've found myself disliking George. All the characters seem to be growing(except maybe Isabella, but even she(he) had some development in the second Volume). In this volume Yukari has decided to become a professional model and has goes all the way with George ...

Recommended for a Mature Audience But ---
If you're a 'Nana' fan under 17 you'll probably buy it anyway, right? You'll probably decide whether or not you want to continue reading the series after this installment because this one has a real bombshell in it. As for the Mature Content label, there is really only one sexual scene in it and the artwork implies rather than shows anything. It is primarily the story's new plot twist that ...

This is a great book in the Nana's series
This book entails the second part of a very climatic both event and finish for Nana H. while also opening up new adventures for Nana O. Its poignant, sentimental, every Nana fan should have vol 4. Please support this series!

Nana is my favorite manga series!
Nana 9 is very sad compared to the other volumes. It is excellent though. Don't chose to not read it just because it is sad. Oh poor Nana why???!! This is a must read just like all of the Nana books. I eagerly await each book and preorder it asap.

Yeah! Another Gothic Lolita manga^_^
If you love Mana, you'll love Isabella. If you love funky Kogaru-Lolita fashions, you'll love Miwako. If you've ever wanted to design beautiful clothes or model or just look at a really cute goth boy, you'll love the others. The art is brilliant! (& very similar to I.N.V.U.)This story is also hillarious^.^ If you love this book, I reccomend Under the Glass Moon.

NANA Rocks!
This whole series is such a great deal! it's idealy for teens older than 16, because it is packed with drama, romance, sex, and alcohol. It's basically about two girls who are both named Nana, and they turn into the best of friends in Tokyo. Nana K. is very girly and naive, and she's also kinda a pushover. She falls for guys ALL THE TIME, and was cheated on by her bf. Nana K. is a tough band ...

Very good
Nana volume 5 is very good only if you have read Nana volumes 1-4. Nana volume 5 is a must to add to the collection.
