Welcome to TAKOYAKIs Scanlations, home to the translated scans of the popular manga NANA.

NANA by Ai Yazawa

VIZ sez: Nana takes us to Tokyo to follow the tumultuous lives of two young women who have very different dreams. Nana Komatsu has endured an unending string of boyfriend troubles. Moving to Tokyo, she's hoping to take control of her life and put those messy misadventures behind her. She's looking for love, and she's hoping to find it in the big city.

Enter Nana Osaki. Confident and focused, she kicks down the doors to Tokyo's underground punk scene. Beautiful, charismatic, and tough as nails, this Nana wants to be a rock star, and she's not going to let anything get in her way.

The two Nanas soon meet, and their new lives step into high gear: love blooms, tempers flare, and egos clash. The world of Nana is a thundering ball of excitement sparked by sex, music, fashion, gossip, and all-night parties.

DAM sez: Nana blends traditional boy-crazy romantic pratfalls with Love and Rockets-style amateur punk hijinks. Both the art and the dialogue are densely portrayed, with heavy use of solid blacks.
