LatestSeveral years in the future, the members of Blast plus Hachi and her daughter Satsuke meet each other again at Room 707 for the fireworks display, but strangely Nana is not present.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The manga remains unfinished since 2009 due to Ai Yazawa's health; the anime invented its own abrupt ending.
NANA revolutionized josei manga by treating female friendship as the central romance rather than a side plot.
