I told you it was good!
I'm the first person in line when it comes to frown upon shoujo, I usually only read somewhat different types of shoujo like Basara and Red River that are epical or Angel Sanctuary that's dark and gothic (finished it a long time ago though). Nana is fabulous! The more you read/watch the more you get hooked. I think the main reason for this is the fact that Ai Yazawa keeps it very real. You'll notice as you keep on reading that for better or worse she tries to keep it as realistic as possible. She did the same with Paradise Kiss which is why the ending didn't please a lot of people (no "and they lived happily ever after").
Anyway, you can find lots of cool things on ebay. I bought an art book, the Love For Nana CD, a couple of necklaces (Ren's locket) and a cool cell phone strap on ebay for practicaly nothing. At the moment I have my eyes set on the silver armour ring Nana wears. I really want that ring and I mean the original Vivienne Westwood one. However, it costs £150 so I don't think I'm buying it just yet. :p You can find that ring and other Nana necklaces here but they're all original VW so they're not cheap.
Oh, and don't forget to watch the anime.
By the way, don't you just love Hiroki Narimiya (the guy that played Nobu in the movie)? That man is hot! Been a fan since I saw him on Kagen no Tsuki (based on another Yazawa manga).
