Hey, Nana is one of my favourite anime's and i have watched Ai Yazawa's other anime's, i really love her art style and her story lines, and i'm struggling to find anything similar. Does any one have any recommendations which are similar to Nana through storyline or art style?
Not very similar, but you could check out Carole and Tuesday, is about two girls who meet and start making music together. It has a similar vibe but futuristic

That's like asking for the impossible (NANA is my fav anime too) but I will try to get as close as possible

Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou
Kuragehime
Cipher anilist page
Not exactly the same, but i feel like NANA and Cipher have quite a few points in common
for ig.
-romance with heavy drama
-drugs
-the arts (acting instead of music)
-cool setting (New York instead of Tokyo)
-stylish characters
Did some research for you (and for me too!)
=D
Others have suggested:
Gokinjo Monogatari
Gokinjo Monogatari the Movie
Super GALS Kotobuki Ran
If you like the storyline that is driven by character conflicts, I recommend Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju. It's not similar to Nana in terms of art styles or setting, but it's a very well-written drama with complex, layered characters.
