Nana, Vol. 20 (20) Paperback – January 5, 2010
Purchase options and add-ons
Nana "Hachi" Komatsu hopes that moving to Tokyo will help her make a clean start and leave her capricious love life behind her. Nana Osaki, who arrives in the city at the same time, has plans to score big in the world of rock'n'roll. Although these two young women come from different backgrounds, they quickly become best friends in a whirlwind world of sex, music, fashion, gossip and all-night parties!
Ren's drug use is spiraling out of control and he doesn't want to drag Trapnest down with him. Neither Takumi nor Reira are willing to let Ren quit the band, and both do their best to give him the time he needs to get it together. But Ren isn't sure this is something he can handle on his own. Will he turn to Nana for help, or will their strained relationship make him try to face his demons alone?

It has been over a decade since NANA, the epic tale of two very special young women both named Nana,began serialization in Japan, and the fact that it is still going strong is testament to a level of survivorship that few shoujo manga titles can match. And what is even more impressive here is the quality that creator Ai Yazawa has maintained--even, at times, developed--over the years. Most long-running shoujo series, not to put too fine a point on it, tend not to be quite so creatively ambitious as this one. In the twentieth volume of this now venerable manga, some of the most beautiful artwork in the biz is paired with an epic storyline which is, after a long wait, building to its emotionally trying, yet inevitable, crescendo.
Although volume twenty has significantly few pages than other recent volumes, they pack a really big punch. Yazawa's illustrations are, as always, as singularly stylish as an avant garde fashion magazine, but there is a fewer comic intervals than usual, and the "look" is suitably oppressive and tense. She really does do an amazing job of keeping it all visually consistent, even though in many ways the mainstream mangaka is more correctly understood as overseer or director of a large number of creative assistant staff.
One of this manga's signature motifs is the way in which its multi-stranded plot jumps back and forth in time. Besides the main storyline and the inevitable character "backstories," there are also sections of the story that are set an unspecified number of years in the future, and indeed, much of the continuing dramatic tensions revolves around what happened to Nana Osaki and the rest in-between. The omniscient narrative voices of the two Nanas also originate from this future, and while at first as a literary device these were over-the-top bathetic, now, as the magnitude of the impending tragedy starts to resolve into clarity, the fraught, regretful, nostalgic tones nearly seem warranted.
Needless to say, this volume ends with the single event which is likely to begin the ripples which will bring this series racing toward its climax. Those who may have been worried that NANA was beginning to stall out and lose its way will be excited and reinvigorated, eager to revisit the story anew. Will the artist be able to sustain the momentum that she has built up here? Stay tuned!
