Ai Yazawa's manga NANA has been the subject of two recent Yomimono stories, both centered on commercial tie-ins rather than new story content. The series is not currently running new manga chapters or episodes; the coverage focuses on merchandise and home video releases.
The most prominent development is a collaboration with the eye makeup brand Love Liner. Announced in late May 2026, the limited-edition line includes two types of liquid eyeliner and one mascara, each priced at 1,760 yen. The packaging is designed so that two boxes placed side by side form a single heart, referencing the relationship between protagonists Nana Osaki and Hachi (Nana Komatsu). The liquid eyeliners come in black for Nana and dark brown for Hachi, while the mascara features both characters. Details from the story, such as the strawberry glass and a key from Room 707 where the two lived, appear as accents on the packaging. Advance sales began June 9 at the official online store of msh, the company behind Love Liner, with wider availability at variety shops and drugstores starting in mid-June.
Separately, the North American anime and manga release roundup for the week of May 31-June 6, 2026, lists the NANA - Complete Collection on Blu-ray from Sentai Filmworks. This release is one of 40 print manga, 31 digital manga, and one anime title noted in that period. No other new NANA projects, such as a sequel, reboot, or new anime adaptation, are mentioned in any of the provided stories.
