Summary
Nana Komatsu journeys to Tokyo to be with her boyfriend. A stroke of luck finds her sitting on the train next to Nana Osaki, a budding rock vocalist. Although they part at Tokyo Station, their paths cross once more as they compete for the same apartment. They decide to move in together and despite their differences, introspective Nana Osaki and outgoing Nana Komatsu become firm friends. Nana Osaki finds a new bassist and reforms her old band, Black Stones. Unfortunately, Nana Komatsu finds that the course of true love does not always run smoothly. She receives some good news, however, when she wins a pair of tickets to see her favorite band, the hit sensation TRAPNEST, in concert and invites Nana Osaki along. Nana Osaki has reservations about seeing the band play live and it is now that Nana Komatsu discovers the secrets of her friend's past - Nana Osaki's unresolved feelings towards TRAPNEST's guitarist, Ren, her ex-boyfriend and ex-BLACK STONES bassist. The curtain goes up on the TRAPNEST concert and Ren steps onto the stage. Nana Osaki sits below in the front row of the audience. Her eyes fill with tears as memories come flooding back. Will Nana and Ren be reunited...?
