| According to J-Cast, Josei Jishin magazine caught and interviewed Yazawa Ai when she returned home from the hospital. She said she is getting a lot better than before. "It's not an incurable disease. My doctor says it'll take long and I'll recover gradually." However, she also disclosed that she hasn't held a pen since she fell ill and the outlook for her return is still uncertain. The serialization of NANA has been suspended since June 2009 due to Yazawa's illness. The name of the illness hasn't been revealed. Source: J-Cast |

| I pray that God heals her soon, and that she can get back to doing what she loves the most! :-) |
| We finally hear from her! This whole "mystery" has been going on for so long that I was starting to get seriously worried. Glad she's ok. Lets hope NANA will continue ~ |
  |
| Hope she gets better. I loved NANA and it would be a major disappointment if the manga and/or the anime aren't completed. |

| We finally get some type of news about NANA though its not the best news, but still good to find out what's been going on. Glad the hear she has been released from the hospital, which is a sign she is at least on the road to recovery, which is always good news :) I wish her well |
| Thank god it's not an incurable disease. I was expecting the worst, since we haven't heard any news for so long. dtshyk said: I hope the long break didn't influence her drawing style.However, she also disclosed that she hasn't held a pen since she fell ill and the outlook for her return is still uncertain. |
| It's good to know she's doing much more better. In time, if everything works out, she'll recover and return. |
| We finally have some news about her! I hope she can get better very soon, so she can draw again :) |
| *sniffles* It's been this long... |

| Man thats a long time :/ I hope she keeps getting better :D gambatte Yazawa-san |
     |
| Good to hear. Hope her recovery goes well. |
 |
| Yokata! At least now we know she's getting better, and that it was a real illness, not just her being fed up with NANA, like some rumours said. And thank God it's not an incurable disease! |
 |
| Well, I'm glad to hear something about her. I didn't even realize just how long she'd been gone until I saw the date in the article D: |
     |
| very glad to know she's already out of the hospital XD Hoping for her speedy recovery. |
   |
| It's good that she's out of the hospital now. Hope she recovers soon. |

| May all prayers from all denominations of good health go with her. Regardless of whether she holds a pen (I wish) again is not important right now. I want her well and healthy. I don't want dtshyk writing anything but good news about her. Please only good news... |
| Oh wow, she was in the hospital this whole time? That alone has got to be tough. Now that she's home I hope she can start to truly feel better, since it really is impossible to fully recover in the hospital setting. Best of wishes to her. |
| Well glad we got an update about this, been awhile since I had heard anything. I hope she makes a recover, don't care if it's quick or not, just as long as she gets better. |
| Glad to hear it's not an incurable disease. Hope she recovers fully. |
| What kind of dick reporter ambushes someone on the way home from the hospital? |
| Phew... After so many time at least we learned something. I'm glad that she is better and that she hasn't a incurable disease. |
 |
| take ur time girl |
| Best wishes to her, I hope her recovery goes as smoothly as possible. |
| I feared the worst when i havent heard anything about the author, but i'm glad that she's on the mend now :) |
 |
| *Offers gifts to shrine to wish for her recovery* |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Best of wishes to her, hope she gets better... =) |
 |
| That's good news =) Rest well and take your time ;) |
| Damn, I almost forgot that nana was one of my favorite mangas, this is fantastical to hear that she will probably be able to get back on to making moar mangos. |

| I am so happy! Nana really is my favorite anime / manga. |
| it's good to hear something. I want to read new chapters so badly, get well and start drawing yazawa!~ |
| Well I am not much of a NANA fan. becuase my mom probably would kill me if she saw me reading a book labeled explicit content. lol but im really glad to see that everyone is happy for her and that she is making a steady recovery. although im sorry to say this but her drawing will be different. not drawing or writing anything in about a year has to do some change. |
| Laura Bell Bundy is AMAZING!!!! |

Yeah.. I think it cost time to rebuild her drawing style. |
| Thank God for that. We keep hearing way too many news reports of anime/manga staff dying. C'mon Yazawa, break the trend and get better! |
| Hopefully she'll have a good recovery D: It was horrid to hear news that she had been hospitalized..especially since she's one of my favourite mangakas. |
| Oh no. I hope she'll get well soon! |

rawkstarr777 said: a year passed by? wow o_o anyone know what kind of disease she has? must be awful all this time in the hospital. I don't know exactly what it is, but she had some problems because of her smoking. |
 |
| Hmmm... but really after such a long time of having to cope with cancer would you really be thinking about manga? I have a feeling it will be a long long time before nana gets continued :/ She was released in aprill i think and still no news... its really sad becuase nana really is the best manga ive ever read and its killing me that i cnat find out what happens :( All us nana fans wish you well yazawa-sama!!! :) |
 |
| Get well soon! You are loved. |
| Yay <3 I hope she is well soon! I really love her mangas |
 |
| Well, glad she's feeling better now. I hope that she'll recover soon, hold a pen and start continuing the series. There are still many faithful fans of your work out here Ai Yazawa sensei!! |
 |
| It's been really long time since last chap. I've read lately that author is not sure if she will continue nana. I just can't beleve it. I don't even want to think that thing like that could happen. To end such story at this point without revealing all things..Naah it needs ending.. |
