When her friends and then boyfriend leave for Tokyo, she decides to join them a year later after having saved enough money.

Characters

Main article: Characters of Nana (manga)

Nana Osaki is a punk-rock singer with a style to match, and Nana Komatsu, also known as Hachi, a small-town girl who moves to Tokyo to start a new life. These are the descriptions of all the fictional characters in the Manga, movies and Anime series Nana. They meet on a train, and their destinies are sealed. Viz Media, the English translator of the manga, often refers to the girls as "Nana O. " and "Nana K. " because in the Japanese manga the girls' names were spelled using different characters, making it easier to determine which Nana people were talking about.

The characters in Nana have complex personalities and their own histories, which sometimes intertwine with one another. The importance of each character grows in the manga as the story progresses to many dramatic heights and falls. The two main characters in particular, Nana O. and Nana K. , support each other greatly, as evidenced both in the story and in the narration, which is done by either Nana at the beginning and end of each volume.

Other important characters include Hachi's friends and ex-boyfriend, who she followed from her hometown to Tokyo, the members of Nana O. 's band (Black Stones), and the members of the band Trapnest.
