Tankoubon
Manga Volume?

Currently there are 11 volumes of Nana, however the translated version only has 10. Each cover of the tank is somewhat related to the previous tank. For example, tank 1 shows only Nana (Oosaki) whereas tank 2 shows the other Nana joining her. ^^ Tank 3 shows them going out together down the stairs, while tank 4 shows them walking towards town, tank 5 shows them at town area, tank 6 shows them in a train and tank 7 shows them looking at the train's timetable.^^ tank 8 shows them in a boutique, with Oosaki Nana trying on a fur coat. I scanned the back and front of each volume with a mini summary accompanying it. ^^

I've found a site - Literal Exchanges that does translations (hurry send Himiko-sama a nice big thank you!) so I've asked permission to directly link them up here. ^^;; Please do not take them without asking her permission!!

Himiko-san's computer crashed and lost her scanlations! However you can find Nana Scanlations here!

Blast moves into the dorms and meets up with their new friends - Yuri and Miu. Nana had a respiratory nervous attack which nearly scared everyone to death. It had something to do with her psychological unstablity especially when under stress or anger and her quick temper.

The tank begins in the future with Hachi walking along the street to room 707 with her daughter. She meets up with Blast minus Nana, helping them dress up in yukata. Nobu and Shin both looked grown up and Hachi's daughter looks like Takumi. Apparently, Trapnest would meet up with the rest later. Nobu still shows interest in Hachi. Nana is no where to be seen, and Hachi is waiting for her.

We are brought back to the present timeline. Blast waits for Hachi in 707, in disguises to see the fireworks in the public.

Hachi returns home to face a Takumi. She receives news that they can't marry yet and have to postpone it because Ren and Nana are getting married. And because of publicity, they have to postone theirs.
