While the animation of ‘Nana’ may not be as good as other series like ‘ Overlord ‘ and ‘ Black Lagoon ‘, that have been produced by the same, it surely has a very unique feel to it and once you get used to it, you actually start appreciating it for what it is.
The anime was intended to be equal to the manga and was adapted up to the first chapter of volume 12 to avoid filler. According to Junko Koseki (editor of Nana in Shueisha) and Masao Maruyama (former managing director of Madhouse) a second season will likely be produced once the manga is finished.
The author has been very sick since 2010 and no new episodes of Nana have been released since then. There has been no confirmations recently about whether or not the author will continue her work but we hope she resumes writing the story very soon.
: NanaAnime Will Nana and nobu end up together? Yes. In the end, I think Nana Komatsu will be single. She wasted so much of the story relying on her boyfriends/husband. Her true character arc will end when she is a strong independent woman that can care for herself and the children BY HERSELF.

8 Nana. Paradise Kiss manga creator Ai Yazawa also wrote the wildly popular josei manga, Nana, so perhaps it's no surprise that this story also has a not-so-happy ending. The story follows two young women named Nana, who meet on a train to Tokyo and become close friends.
After his relationship with Nana was found out by SEARCH magazine, Ren proposed to Nana because he felt that Yasu was going to take Nana away from him. Nana accepted, but they both felt unsure about the marriage. In the manga, Ren wanted to try to quit his addiction of drugs before making up with Nana but failed.
Because of her pregnancy, she marries Takumi (initially in name only, for Takumi delayed their wedding because of Osaki's engagement to Ren). Throughout the series, her married name has became Nana Ichinose and as the time passes, she realizes that she loves Takumi.
