Nana

A quiet but pivotal series from Egmont Ehapa, Nana ran for 21 issues from 2005 to 2009, adapting the early chapters of Ai Yazawa's beloved manga for a German audience. This edition brought the story of two young women sharing the name Nana—one chasing pop stardom, the other seeking love and independence—to European readers with careful translation and presentation. It matters as a key moment in the import of shojo manga to Germany, offering a mature, emotionally complex drama long before the genre's wider international boom.
