Ai Yazawa is the creator of many popular manga titles, including Tenshi Nanka Janai (I'm No Angel) and Gokinjo Monogatari (Neighborhood Story). Yazawa's most famous manga include Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai (I'm Not an Angel), Gokinjo Monogatari (Neighborhood Story), Paradise Kiss, and Nana.

Nana Osaki, who arrives in the city at the same time, has plans to score big in the world of rock'n'roll.

While most of her manga continues to be published in Japan by Shueisha, publishers of Ribon and Cookie (in which Nana is serialized), series like Paradise Kiss now appear in other magazines such as Zipper, published by Shodensha. I enjoyed it so much - the art is fantastic and Yazawa's unique style makes it stand out from other manga. The guitarist and drummer from her old band have joined her in Tokyo and she's finally found a ripping new bass player to replace Ren Honjo.Hachi, the cutesy overly caring girl, manages to acknowledge her wrong- doings and works on herself in almost every chapter. Nana "Hachi" Komatsu hopes that moving to Tokyo will help her make a clean start and leave her capricious love life behind her. She's also acquired a new nickname, 'Hachi', and is officially the newest fan of BLAST, Osaki Nana's band. By far one of my favourite romances because of the super transparent and realistic nature imbedded within it.
