Comment:
NANA was put on hiatus in June 2009 when Ai Yazawa became ill with an undisclosed illness. The entire series to date is collected in the 21 tankobon volumes that have been released.

In April 2010 Yazawa announced that she had left the hospital but did not specify if or when she would resume work on NANA.
