Although the plots are very different (Nana is about a punk band and Cat Street is about students at an alternative school), the ideas are actually very similar. Both are realistic character dramas following a unique group of friends and their bond over time, as they try to discover their passions and follow their dreams. They are very supportive of one another as they struggle with all sorts of personal issuesues. Both stories have very realistic drama that is handled with maturity. Nana is a little darker, but they both maintain a very similar vibe most of the time. And both handle topics such as love, fame, and regret.
