Shojo manga artist Ai Yazawa, renowned for works like "Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai" (I'm No Angel), "NANA", and "Paradise Kiss", has had her iconic series NANA on hiatus for over a decade due to health reasons. For many fans, it's become one of those "probably never finishing" lifetime reads.
But get ready for some exciting news! NANA is teaming up with Japanese fashion brand HARE for their first-ever collaboration collection. This partnership brings eight unique apparel items, set to drop on March 12, 2026, at all HARE stores and their official online shops, and ST and ZOZOTOWN.
Established in Tokyo, Japan, in 2003, HARE has always championed accessible fashion, showcasing a fresh sense of style that seamlessly blends culture and art. It's a go-to brand for anyone who loves Japanese street style.
The brand's core philosophy is all about modern fashion infused with cultural and artistic elements. Given that manga is a vital part of Japanese culture, a collaboration with a classic like NANA was a perfect fit.
This collection draws inspiration from the distinct personalities and fashion sensibilities of NANA's two leading ladies, Nana Osaki and Nana Komatsu. The eight designs are crafted to let fans truly immerse themselves in the series' vibe.
