About the author

Ai Yazawa (Japanese: 矢沢あい, Yazawa Ai) is a Japanese manga author and illustrator. Her pen name comes from singer Eikichi Yazawa, of whom she is a fan.
Yazawa started her comics career in 1985. She specialises in shojo manga (girls' comics). Most of her works have been serialised in the magazines 'Ribon', 'Cookie' and 'Zipper'.
Yazawa's stories focus on young, often rebellious women and their relationships. The characters are always very stylish, and Yazawa herself is known for her sense of fashion. (She even attended a fashion school for some time after high school.)
Among her most famous manga are Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai (I'm No Angel, 1992–1995), Neighborhood Story (1995-1998), Paradise Kiss (1999-2004), and Nana (2000-2009), the latter awarded a Shogakukan Manga Award in 2003. Some of these works have been adapted into anime and live action movies.

القصة تسير على نفس الجودة، حتى انها أكثر متعة من نانا من ناحية كوميدتها وكون موجاتها الظلامية والكئيبة اقل حدة، لكن كالعادة تقدم صراع حقيقي يلمس القلب، تحقق حلمك أو تلتزم لحبك؟ شيء تقدر تفهمه حتى لو ما مريت فيه شخصيا.

5巻はつまらなかった。話があまり進まなかった感じする。集中力が悪い私のせいかも。

This series is just too good to put down. Last night I stayed up until four in order to finish the series. I don't regret it at all! The whole series was just a classic Yazawa creation. Although it lacked an extremely tragic ending (this is not a spoiler, who knows, it could have been a slightly tragic ending) like in Paradise Kiss, the rest of the stories along the way just make the journey worth while.
