Synopsis of Nana anime
Nana synopsis, for those unfamiliar, reads as follows:
Two twenty-somethings seemingly share nothing in common apart from their first name, but a chance meeting on a train bound for Tokyo sets Nana Komatsu and Nana Osaki on a collision course with destiny. Nana Komatsu, a love-at-first-sight dreamer, aims to find enduring happiness in the big city. Nana Osaki, neo punk rock vocalist, pursues her burning ambitions of musical stardom and worldwide fame. As their fates increasingly intertwine, they each chase their dreams — until the harsh realities of life in big city Tokyo threaten to tear everything apart.
The anime has remained popular among fans, holding a four-star rating on MyAnimeList and generally being held in high regard. The manga is currently available through VIZ Media.
