About this converter
Nana has no official arcs, so this page compares ten editorial story blocks from the prologues through ch. 84. The two prologues run 2 chapters and stand as shortest here. The Ren crash and aftermath block runs 15 chapters and stands as longest here. Counts come from Shueisha volume tables that map chapters to books, with ch. 81 to 84 from the final Cookie issues before the hiatus. The series stopped in 2009 after ch. 84, so this table covers the full run to that point. VIZ English volumes collect the same chapters through vol. 21.
How to use it
Pick two blocks and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Aftermath block against Prologues to see the 15 to 2 gap. All rows use Chapters, so the unit stays fixed. Click any table row to load it as Entry A with amount 1.
Shueisha publishes no official arc names, so labels here are story blocks with exact chapter ranges pinned. Blocks 3 through 6 each run 8 chapters, which shows the steady early pace before the longer chart and fallout blocks. Chapters 81 to 84 never reached a Japanese tankobon, so magazine issue data carries those rows. No new chapters change this table while the hiatus holds.
