Nana, Volume 21 by Ai Yazawa
5.0
I read this series over the course of the past months, so coincidentally experienced the same seasons in real life as depicted in the manga.
Why did it take so long to finish reading it? It is because Nana was a way of letting me relax when I had a rough day or felt upset at my failures in general. I made it a habit to read it when I felt upset, tired or miserable in general.
Experiencing the struggles of both Nana's regarding love, friends and work resonated with me and I kept coming back for more. Like different pieces of chocolate out of a valentines sweets box, every chapter had its own "taste" - and the last one was the most bittersweet one.
Seeing Yasu cry almost made me cry too, and I have not experienced the collective helplessness of the friend group executed in such a tragic way in another kind of story for a long time.
