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!

Hachi doesn't want to. She is afraid that she will ruin
everything that she just had decided on.
Takumi and Hachi heads back to Hachi's
hometown to visit her parents and ask for her hand in
marriage. (This scene, in my opinion is really amusing.)
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.
Blast had their first Live Performance
at Shinjuku.
Trapnest and Blast both appeared for
a slot on a show called Music Studio (similiar to the
real life Music Station). It was a gathering of old
friends and new foes. ^^ Ren asked Nana to marry him.

when Hachi messaged Shin, telling him she misses the
time when they saw fireworks together and it felt like
a dream. Nana immediately asked Hachi to meet at 707,
to watch the fireworks once again.
On the night itself, Hachi meets Shoji
and had a decent conversation. Shin and Nana asks Nobu
to get Hachi back. |

Hachi walking along the street to room 707 with her
daughter. She meets up with Blast minus Nana, helping

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 is late and
calls Shin, telling her she won't be going because she
is afraid to see Nobu. Nana tells Hachi to come because
Nobu is not here. Hachi believes. Nobu gets angry and
attempts to remove his disguise. Nana taunts Nobu telling
him to get Hachi back.

Trust was being sold.

They decided to include Shin's as well, since their
birthdays were on the same date.

invited in Naoki's car. (Because of Nobu and Takumi).
