Synopsis coming soon.......
A chance meeting on a train to Tokyo sends two girls named Nana on a collision course with destiny!
Nana "Hachi" Komatsu hopes that moving to Tokyo will help her make a clean start and leave her capricious love life behind her. Nana Osaki, who arrives in the city at the same time, has plans to score big in the world of rock'n'roll. Although these two young women come from different backgrounds, they quickly become best friends in a whirlwind world of sex, music, fashion, gossip and all-night parties!
Takumi and Hachi are getting married, but it's far from a joyous announcement. Nobu and Nana are devastated, and even Takumi's bandmates take the news hard. With paparazzi skulking around for a new scandal to exploit and tensions between Trapnest and Blast on high alert, will Hachi ever get her happily ever after?
Ai Yazawa is the creator of many popular manga titles, including Tenshi Nanka Janai (I'm No Angel) and Gokinjo Monogatari (Neighborhood Story). Another series, Kagen no Tsuki (Last Quarter), was made into a live-action movie and released in late 2004. American readers were introduced to Yazawa's stylish and sexy storytelling in 2002 when her title Paradise Kiss was translated into English.
Nana has become the all-time best selling shojo title from Japanese publishing giant Shueisha, and the series even garnered a Shogakukan Manga Award in the girls category in 2003. A live-action Nana movie was released in Japan in 2006.
advance praise Fortunes of Change"Reading Fortunes of Change is like finding the missing piece to a jigsaw puzzle. Sweeping economic changes are profoundly reshaping our politics-and not in ways we usually think. These shifts are reshaping the beliefs of the upper class and creating a new and very potent political force-the liberal wealth elite. Callahan's must-read book provides a whole new perspective on our economy and political culture."-Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class"David Callahan delivers an eye-opening and deeply informed examination of a trend he spotted first: how the rise of wealth based on intellectual firepower is challenging the narrow-minded antagonisms fostered by the old economy's industrial oligarchs and creating a broader, richer democracy. Fortunes of Change breaks new ground and should be read by anyone who wants to understand America's changing political landscape."-David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of Perfectly Legal and Free Lunch"In losing support among the working class, but gaining new traction with the wealthy and well-educated, has American progressivism sold its soul? David Callahan's study of the rise of the liberal rich is as thought-provoking as it is timely."-Michael Lind, author of Up from Conservatism: Why the Right Is Wrong for America"Fortunes of Change is delightfully written and engaging and makes a compelling case for the centrality of the liberal rich. They are a symptom of the big changes in the two parties, but they are more than a curiosity. By the end, you feel compelled to accept his challenge-how do we advance a progressive project for these times, including ameliorating inequality, when the liberal rich are so central to all we do?"-Stanley B. Greenberg, CEO, Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, and author of Dispatches from the War Room
