NANA production sketches for Nana and Hachi’s apartment
Brown Girl Bookshelf: 10 Books to Read to Our Daughters
A fun little decal from the manga, Nana, featuring Nana Osaki and Nana Komatsu (Hachiko) singing drunkenly. Use the decal on your car, your laptop case, as a window cling, or on other items of your choosing! These are made to order, so if you would like to request another vinyl color besides black, please send me a personal message! :)
Here is the Nana x Nana plush set, from the anime based on the manga Nana by Ai Yazawa. Ai Yazawa is so great. Really. Start releasing Nana manga again!! Nana is so cute. Y'know, in that rocker-turned-plush kind of way. I really love how they did the eyes, and that they were stitched. She's even got her earrings and a little belt! Her boots/coat have a plastic coating on them, but they're still perfect. I feel like this is also the kind of plush that you could hang in your car window and people that didn't even know what it was or what it was from would still like it. Nana's a cool chick, after all. (ALL NANAs SOLD! No more of this cutie! ;A;) Hachi, the dog. She is super cute, though I kind of wish they didn't give her the dog tail/ears. It doesn't match with the set quite as well, though of course if you got plush from the series you'd need to collect her as she's one of the main characters. SOLD Nobu. I like how they did his hair. I'm reminded that sometimes plush can go in the wrong direction with spikey hair, a la Tasuki from Fushigi Yugi. I like how his eyes are so clear and his eyebrows are a bit darker than his hair color. SOLD Yasu. For a bald plush... pretty darn cute! The plastic on his shades tends to separate from the cloth underneath, but nothing some fabric glue wouldn't set straight. I think it's a common problem, as I have a double of him and they're both the same. So, I guess the question is... does he have eyes under there? Guess you need to own him to find out XD SOLD Shin! He looks like a girl, doesn't he?? He's got awesome plaid pants, shoes with fringe, Vivienne Westwood necklace, lip piercing and load of earrings. You can tell a lot of thought went into how to approach his spikey hair, and the decision was a row of spikes standing up, and the rest stuffed shaped plush. Works out a heck of a lot better than Killua's hair from Hunter x Hunter. SOLD Altogether, a great set with lots of attention to detail. I like how they made them with big heads/little bodies instead of making it too literal. I remember when this was released it was kind of hard to find. I couldn't get them through my usual sources. I don't know if they made less of them, or that it was thought they wouldn't sell well. In any case, it was a good thing I knew they were released or I may have missed them. I don't see them around much, I saw one sell (Yasu, and Hachi, I think?) for $40/ea on ebay after a small bidding war about a year ago. Edit: I sold one set for $150 the other day (9/2015), sold Nana and Hachiko extras for $35/ea. I have 1 full set left Nana is gone now so I don't have the full set left anymore, they are getting lots of inquiries so if you want them I suggest to nab them soon! Edit 12/2015: ALL NANA PLUSH ARE NOW SOLD AND ENJOYING HAPPY NEW HOMES! Thank you everyone for adopting them! [email protected]

Una nueva entrada de la sección imprescindibles que me ha traído de cabeza esta semana. Desde que ideé esta sección quería que este manga tuviese un hueco en ella, porque es el mejor que he leído nunca. El dibujo es sublime, los personajes están perfectamente caracterizados, hay personalidades para todos los gusto y un montón de relaciones que se van entrecruzando. Toda una joya. Pero esta recomendación es un arma de doble filo: la autora ha dejado en stop el manga desde 2009 por una enfermedad. Se dijo que después de tanto tiempo quedaría incincluso, pero en 2013 la mangaka publicó unas páginas de El pub de Junko donde salen personajes de Nana hablando incluso de la enfermedad de la propia Ai Yazawa. A lo largo del año también ha realizado nuevas portadas para re-ediciones de otros de sus mangas y ya se comienza a hablar sobre una posible reanudación de Nana (aunque no inminente, eso seguro). La historia se centra en dos jóvenes, ambas de nombre Nana, con caracteres totalmente opuestos. En apariencia una es dulce, frágil y sensible; la otra fuerte, valiente y de ideas claras. Ambas luchan por llegar a ser felices, ya sea buscando el amor de tu vida como es el caso de la primera o escalando hacia el éxito y la fama como pasa con la segunda. No es de esperar que dos personas tan diferentes puedan verse unidas por una amistad de las que marcan tu vida, pero justamente es lo que sucede. A lo largo de los capítulos vemos cómo se va forjando, cómo los dramas y pequeños momentos de felicidad van llenando sus vidas y las de otros personajes que se van añadiendo. No sé cuantas veces me habré emocionado leyendo Nana; pero han sido muchas más que con cualquier otra lectura. Ai Yazawa no crea la trama con imprevistos, la construye con auténticos dramones que harán sufrir a los protagonistas hasta llevarlos límite. Es uno de esos libros en los que te pasas todo el rato quejándote de lo que hace tal personaje, de lo cab*n que es otro, del pobre que sufre las consecuencias...hasta que te llena la alegría cuando llega por fin un suspiro de felicidad. Si buscáis un libro que deje los sentimientos a flor de piel Nana no os dejará indiferentes. Las que no os hayáis lanzado con los mangas aún no penséis que por ser una novela en viñetas resultará algo infantil, yo incluso la calificaría como adulta más que juvenil. Os animo a que os hagáis con esta obra, pero no vengáis después a matarme cuando lleguéis al capítulo 84, no encontréis ninguno más y os entre el ansia viva con las doscientas preguntas y teorías que haces sobre parentescos, engaños y sentimientos ocultos. Mejor vais a casa de la autora, ya recuperada, y os ensañáis con ella por esos momentos "No me lo puedo creer, no puede ser" y le metéis algo de prisa por terminarla. Aún espero que el Rey Demonio deje de hacer de las suyas y nos llegue un final de Nana que cierre la historia y nos desvele todos esos misterios.
Custom no. 9 invites you to meet at Nana’s Atelier. The blueprint of our new collection is a narrative of nostalgia – drawing inspiration.
