On March 5, 2001, Nana Osaki and Nana Komatsu, nicknamed Hachi,{{efn|name=nana|In Japan, Nana Osaki and Nana Komatsu are referred to by their true names, as both of their names are written with different characters. In English promotions, Viz Media initially differentiated them by referring to them as Nana O. and Nana K. in promotional material until vol. 6 onwards, where Nana K. is referred to by her nickname, Hachi.{{cite web|url=https://www.viz.com/read/manga/nana-volume-6/product/932|title=Nana, Vol. 6|work=Viz Media|access-date=December 4, 2022|archive-date=December 4, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221204212208/https://www.viz.com/read/manga/nana-volume-6/product/932|url-status=live}}}} meet while moving to Tokyo at age 20. Nana O. aims to establish a music career with her band, Black Stones, while Nana K. joins her friends and moves in with her boyfriend. Despite their contrasting personalities, the two decide to become roommates to save money on rent. Their friendship later faces challenges as they navigate love, ambition, and personal struggles.

After Nana K. breaks up with her unfaithful boyfriend, she becomes involved with Takumi, the bassist of the popular band Trapnest, complicating her friendship with Nana O., who rekindles a relationship with her ex-boyfriend Ren, Trapnest's guitarist. Nana K. also develops feelings for Nobu, Black Stones' guitarist, but upon discovering her pregnancy, she marries Takumi. Nana O., distressed by the growing distance between them, resolves to reclaim their friendship by elevating Black Stones' success.

When a tabloid exposes Nana O. and Ren's relationship, Black Stones gains widespread recognition and debuts professionally. However, their relationship deteriorates due to Nana O.'s jealousy and Ren's substance abuse, despite their engagement. As media scrutiny intensifies, Nana K. uncovers details about Nana O.'s family, including her birth mother. Before Black Stones' first tour, their bassist Shin is arrested, prompting Nana O. to pursue a solo career. Shortly afterward, Ren dies in a car accident, leaving Nana O. to grapple with grief and reassess her reliance on Nana K.

Later narrative segments reveal that years have passed, with rumors circulating about Nana O.'s alleged death. Nana K. and their friends eventually discover that she fled to England and attempt to locate her.

Written and illustrated by Ai Yazawa, Nana first appeared as a two-part prologue in 1999 in Shueisha's Cookie manga magazine (volumes 1 and 2), a sister magazine of Ribon.{{cite web|script-title=ja:NANA -ナナ-|url=https://mangapedia.com/NANA−ナナ−-sl5n2qehh|website={{ill|Mangapedia|ja|マンガペディア}}|publisher=Voyage Group|access-date=July 14, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200515155728/https://mangapedia.com/NANA−ナナ−-sl5n2qehh|archive-date=May 15, 2020|language=ja|url-status=live}} Initially, Yazawa was asked to create two one-shots to accompany the launch of Cookie, and she decided to make both stories related to each other so that they would be easier to read in case they were picked up for serialization.{{cite news|first=Yayoi|last=Kawayuka|script-title=ja:「登場人物のことは全員大好き」――『天使なんかじゃない』『NANA』作者・矢沢あいさんインタビュー（中編）|trans-title="I love all the characters": interview with Ai Yazawa, the creator of Tenshi Nanka Janai and Nana (second part)|url=https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/culture/subcul/20220731-OYT8T50084/|work=Yomiuri Shimbun|language=ja|date=August 4, 2022|access-date=November 30, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221016225318/https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/culture/subcul/20220731-OYT8T50084/|archive-date=October 16, 2022|url-status=live}} Yazawa stated that while creating Tenshi Nanka ja Nai in the early 1990s, she had wanted to draw a story centered on a rockabilly band. For Nana, she decided to focus on a punk band instead because she had already drawn one of the main characters for Tenshi Nanka ja Nai with a pompadour.
