Nana & Kaoru (Manga)	comment	Nana Chigusa and Kaoru Sugimura have been neighbors and childhood friends for years, but they've started to drift apart in high school. Nana is an ace student and member of the student council, while Kaoru is a Beady-Eyed Loser and a slacker. But one day, an... incident occurs to shake up their relationship.See, Kaoru, as it happens, has a... thing for BDSM. One day, his mother, fed up with the weird toys that Kaoru has been wasting his money on, steals all of them to get her son to study instead of spending his evenings jacking off. But since she can't keep them in their apartment (where he'll find them), she asks Nana to keep an eye on them. Nana, wondering what Kaoru has bought, looks through his stuff... and immediately pulls out a leather one-piece, which looks suspiciously close to her size. Intrigued, Nana tries on the suit... and locks it in the heat of the moment. Even worse, she doesn't have the key, so it must be in Kaoru's room...This is the beginning of Nana & Kaoru (ãƒŠãƒŠã�¨ã‚«ã‚ªãƒ« Nana to Kaoru), an Ecchi manga by Ryuta Amazume which ran from 2008 to 2016. It chronicles Nana and Kaoru's adventures in BDSM, from erotic posing and leash-wearing to bondage and blindfold play, and more. It isn't subtitled Nana and Kaoru's S&M Diary for nothing.Interestingly, a sequel of sorts called Black Label chronicles Nana and Kaoru's experience during their summer vacation after graduating. Though it's set 8 months from the comic proper, was published side by side with the original manga. An interquel subtitled An oath written between S and M was released on November 11, 2018 for the same magazine, though really it's just the main story continuing under a fresh title for publication sakes.Noteworthy for portraying BDSM as something complicated and careful if done willingly, requiring not only trust between the people involved but also preparations and care. Also notable in that it does this without sex ever happening or even being implied with the main romances (outside of the Black Label story there's not even any nudity). There is a break in the narrative at one point for depicting the sex life of an adult couple tangentially related to the main story, but despite the subject matter, it's a relationship/romance manga for the most part and not hentai.Later entries take place in slight Anachronic Order. To avoid Remember the New Guy?, Nana & Kaoru is best enjoyed in the following chronological order:Nana & Kaoru (156 Chapters) Nana & Kaoru: A Written Oath Between S & M (Chapter 1 to Chapter 7) Nana & Kaoru: Black Label (45 Chapters) Nana & Kaoru: A Written Oath Between S & M (Chapter 8 - ongoing)The manga received an official release in English by Fakku beginning October 2022.An OVA and a Live-Action Adaptation have been released, the trailer for the live action adaptation is up on the website.Now with a shiny Character Page, please contribute.

Nana & Kaoru (Manga) / int_108c268e	type	Hotter and Sexier
Nana & Kaoru (Manga) / int_108c268e	comment	Hotter and Sexier: A very sinusoidal example. The series was originally in Young Animal Arashi, a softcore pornography magazine. When it became a runaway success, they moved it to the more mainstream Young Animal series, and toned the content down. It was still wildly successful, so they have a second concurrent series — something that's almost unheard of outside of spinoffs — Nana & Kaoru Black Label, which takes place after a minor timeskip and has definitely taken the series back to hotter and sexier territory.

Nana & Kaoru (Manga) / int_133938ca	comment	Costume-Test Montage: Kaoru reluctantly participates in one in preparation for attending the summer festival in the countryside with Nana. Since Kaoru is too short for any available yukatas and didn't bring any dress clothes himself, he's forced to rely on childhood costumes from his host Sarashina. Kaoru tries on a full formal tuxedo, a loose open robe with only a fundoshi as pants, and a black school uniform with a gothic black cape coat, before finally deciding on a simple dress shirt and pants with sandals and a formal white cap.

She used that as justification to keep going. Now, she genuinely enjoys and looks forward to her sessions with Kaoru. Probably a meta example for some readers.

Nana & Kaoru (Manga) / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: Nana mistakes Ryoko as being her Rival in a love triangle when in reality she's Kaoru's Secret-Keeper. What secret? He's in love with Nana. Understandably, it's a bit hard to explain this to Nana... But Ryoko also is a bit sweet on Kaoru, too, and is starting to hesitate when doing things that might bring them closer together. Specifically, the entire track day is one long string of misunderstandings on the three's parts. Nana keeps seeing Ryoko with Kaoru, not realizing Ryoko is basically dragging him along to cheer Nana (and herself) on, sees the lunchbox he brought, not realizing it was for Ryoko and Nana (mostly Nana), not just Ryoko, Kaoru mistakenly thinks that Ryoko is the one at his door harassing him for a lunchbox when it was really Nana (and he's too embarrassed to apologize), etc etc.

Nana & Kaoru (Manga) / int_1c571556	comment	The Tease: Nana, subconsciously at first. Overtly later on when she's professionally made up and dressed in a kimono, just to go on a shrine visit with Kaoru.. Specifically, she's wearing a furisode, an advertisement to everyone that she's a "Young, single woman available for marriage". Ryoko has this habit of always play around with Kaoru in an teasing and/or gadfly manner when ever they meet. Then in Black Label, While still at the retreat and before another session, Tachibana is told by Sarashina to tease Kaoru before Kaoru ties her up. Let's just say this much, she doesn't disappoint. Oh and just to note, Sarashina-sensei and Nana are watching while this goes on.

Thus, she has a very good reason to be embarrassed about her relationship with him, and motive for denying it when asked. Kaoru, meanwhile, is even more abrasive to Nana than she is to him, with a twist: he's only worried about her reputation, as he sees himself as being beneath her and dragging her down.

One example involved Kaoru acting as if he left Nana and Ryoko, bound up alone in his room for hours. But he carefully watched the whole scene from a window ready to jump into action if anything went wrong. It's worth noting that he was waiting outside in winter weather, which was cold enough to make him sick. He also starts working out and running after Nana has a scary run-in with a couple of shoplifters, just so he'll be better able to handle such situations.

To lure her in, Ryoko first makes a show of arriving at Kaoru's apartment and entering when Nana can see her, and then begins to groan and bang on the walls loudly enough for Nana to hear. Sure enough, Nana is overcome by jealousy and anxious curiosity and quietly enters Kaoru's unlocked apartment to see what's going on, only to inevitably be caught by a waiting Kaoru and Ryoko as she enters the bedroom.

Nana & Kaoru (Manga) / int_3bc88a7f	comment	Foregone Conclusion: The Black Label timeskip series has Nana and Kaoru still together and still having breathers (and playing Footsie Under the Table). Instant drama kill for any worries 'bout the Student Council President stealing Nana away from him, at least permanently. However, it also kills the possible eventual development of Kaoru and Nana admittedly becoming boyfriend and girlfriend in during the 8 months the main series must fill to reach the Black Label timeline, so it's safe to say the main series must surpass Black Label's timeline for Nana and Kaoru to truly become a couple. Subverted somewhat by the ending. In light of what is essentially Nana and Kaoru admitting their feelings to each other, the awkwardness around each other at the start of Black Label takes on a completely different meaning.

Nana & Kaoru (Manga) / int_3d7b1b61	comment	Twice Shy: The only people who don't realize that Nana and Kaoru are in love with each other are Nana and Kaoru themselves. Nana almost confesses to him at the start of the chapter in response to his self-depreciating comments about how she must not like being around him (and part of her Character Development is her starting to realize her feelings for him), and he's quite open with himself about being in love with Nana. The student council president and his sister are also quite aware of this, and are plotting to get the president and Nana hooked up before the two figure it out. Given the NtK Black Label timeskip has Nana and Kaoru still together, still having breathers, and off at a BDSM author's house for private tutoring in BDSM techniques, actually making out... The president isn't going to win this one.

Kaoru has to remind himself that everything really did happen, that it wasn't a dream. And unbeknownst to him, Nana finds herself thinking exactly the same thing.

Nana and Kaoru are invited to spend four summer days in the countryside with Tachibana and Sarashina, who for 10 years have enjoyed a devoted and loving relationship as submissive and dominant, full of happiness, affection, and plenty of bondage - the ideal of what Kaoru and Nana both secretly desire for their own future together. Yet despite their success, Tachibana and Sarashina both privately confess to their respective mentee to still having feelings of inadequacy and still being afraid that their partner might not truly love them, and both understand and fear the possibility that one of them may die, leaving the other alone. Yet despite that, Tachibana and Sarashina choose to accept their fear and be happy together anyway. Seeing this allows Kaoru to understand that he may never be rid of his fear of losing Nana, but also that he is able to accept and live with his fear, and experience love together with Nana regardless.

With Kaoru, it's a massive inferiority complex and lack of self-esteem. With Nana and Ryoko, it comes from their motivation to over-achieve which is, in part, a product of their environment.

Nana & Kaoru (Manga) / int_8403e000	comment	Collared by Fashion: One of the bondage accessories Kaoru sees in a catalog is a very thick, rigid collar that completely covers a submissive's neck and presses up against her jaw, resembling more of a neck brace than an item of clothing. Tachibana explains that the purpose of the collar is to force a kneeling submissive to continually look upwards while also being stable enough to allow her to rest her chin. Kaoru is intrigued, but ultimately decides against buying it.

Nana & Kaoru (Manga) / int_88359b23	comment	Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Played with but ultimately averted. Kaoru is short, uninterested in sports and academics, has no real professional aspirations, prefers to blend into the crowd in public, but is an excellent cook and very skilled at sewing and other craftwork. Nana is tall, athletic, an outstanding student with very high career prospects and plenty of public leadership positions, yet is a hopeless cook and despite (or perhaps because of) her incredible beauty, knows almost nothing about cosmetics and make-up. But beneath these traits, Kaoru and Nana share an intense longing to respectively fulfill the masculine and feminine roles, and to be loved by a partner who recognizes and values them respectively as a man and a woman. The most prominent conflict of the story is Kaoru's struggle to overcome his self-doubt and self-hatred and accept his worthiness to stand by Nana's side as a man and a dom.

'Rope dresses' are tied to press tightly against the submissive's breasts and vulva, gags force their mouths open or their tongues to hang out, 'pet clothing' locks their arms and legs in a folded position, forcing them to sit and move only on their knees and elbows. Kaoru is extremely careful to ensure that Nana and Ryoko only wear such clothing for short periods at a time, and only under his constant and direct supervision.

While Nana is at least able to see and speak, Ryoko is bound, gagged, blindfolded, and completely helpless to do anything but wait for Kaoru to return. The two are left in a hot, sticky room with no way for Ryoko to wipe away her drool and no proper way for her to relieve her gradually increasing need to pee. In reality, Kaoru merely moves to the balcony so he can secretly keep an eye on the two for the entire duration in order to ensure their safety.

Nana & Kaoru (Manga) / int_b6064061	comment	Power of Trust: A central theme of the story. The fulfillment and joy that Nana, Ryoko and other submissives find in bondage is ultimately not from any physical sensation, but the joy of being able to implicitly trust another person, and to have that trust affirmed. These women are not plastic idols, but human beings who sweat, and drool, and cry, and pee. Human beings who - no matter how perfect their lives may appear from the outside - struggle with feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, frustration, and shame, as well as feelings of sexual desire and an incredible longing to be loved. Through bondage, their bodies and behavior are controlled and restricted, so that they are forced to expose "shameful" parts of themselves to their dominant. The dominant, in turn, receives those "shameful" pieces of a person - the submissive's true self - not with anger or disgust, but with praise, and affection, and love. Bondage is thus a validation of the submissive's true self - something that gives Nana and others tremendous strength and happiness.

Nana & Kaoru (Manga) / int_bd2116fd	comment	Accidental Kiss: Probably. Even Nana and Kaoru aren't sure if it happened or not. It's not actually shown whether or not it actually happened, but according to his following actions in the play, Kaoru seems quite sure that it has; Nana is only shown to touch lips afterwards. But as the end of chapter notes pointed out, the potential kiss wasn't the big movement in their relationship, it was Nana realizing she wouldn't have minded kissing Kaoru.

Kaoru's friends even take a jab at their supposed unsuitability for each other. The entire plot is basically driven by Kaoru's assumption that Nana could never see him as boyfriend material, which makes it something of an inversion.

This is not a mischievous act of flirtation, but rather a deliberate and thoughtful decision to completely surrender control of her body over to Kaoru. Kaoru quickly notices, but decides that seeing Nana naked wouldn't give them the intimacy they want, and refuses to look.

What makes this particularly poignant is that Nana falls for him precisely because, by then, she has already internalized the series' "message" and wasn't willing to believe him to be anything but a misunderstood loner.
