Following the release of a Nana Osaki Nendoroid, Good Smile Company shared its next figure based on an Ai Yazawa heroine from that anime, live-action, and manga series is Nana “Hachi” Komatsu. There’s no release window yet. The latest update on social media only involved a look at the prototype.
As a reminder, the Ai Yazawa series is about two young women named Nana who end up deciding to become roommates after a mishap with an apartment. As they share a name, Komatsu ends up with the nickname Hachi. As an up and coming musician with the rock group the Black Stones, Osaki is facing challenges both personally and professionally. Meanwhile, Hachi ends up in a love triangle with Black Stones guitarist Nobuo Terashima and Takumi Ichinose, who is bassist with the famous band Trapnest that Osaki’s lover Ren Honjo plays guitar in.
While this is an unpainted prototype, the Nana ‘Hachi’ Komatsu Nendoroid is shown with a few accessories. She’s shown with one face plate, in which she’s smiling broadly. She also carries a purse in her left hand. A scarf is around her neck, though it is unknown if that will be removable in the final figure.
The Nana anime and manga is famous for being an unfinished work. Chapter 84 of the series ran back in May 2009, and the series went on hiatus as a result of the health issues of creator Ai Yazawa. While we have seen references to the series since, such as the previous Nendoroid and some Uniqlo shirts in July 2025, there’s been no update on how or if the story will end.
The Nana “Hachi” Komatsu Nendoroid is in development, and there’s no release window for the figure yet. Viz Media handled it and other Ai Yazawa manga series, while the anime is streaming on Hulu.
