Nana to Kaoru (Manga)	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })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...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This is the beginning of 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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Later entires take place in slight Anachronic Order. To avoid Remember the New Guy?, Nana to Kaoru is best enjoyed in the following chronological order:Nana to Kaoru (156 Chapters) Nana to Kaoru: A Written Oath Between S & M (Chapter 1 to Chapter 7) Nana to Kaoru: Black Label (45 Chapters) Nana to Kaoru: A Written Oath Between S & M (Chapter 8 - ongoing)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 to Kaoru (Manga) / int_108c268e	type	Hotter and Sexier
Nana to 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 To Kaoru Black Label, which takes place after a minor timeskip and has definitely taken the series back to hotter and sexier territory.

Nana to 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.

Nana to Kaoru (Manga) / int_19ebddab	comment	Guilty Pleasures: Nana originally just went over to get the key, but the bondage session was a great form of stress relief for her, to the point that it saved her rapidly falling apart school performance. 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 to 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 to 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.

She graduated from Tokyo University, arguably the most prestigious school in Asia, and just happens to also run a sex store and is a confirmed, lifelong submissive.

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.

Nana to Kaoru (Manga) / int_38d02d44	comment	Batman Gambit: Ryoko knows that Nana very badly wants to be given an important breather Kaoru has planned and ready, but also knows she's too proud and too shy to ask, especially in front of Ryoko herself. 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 to 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 to 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.

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.

Nana to Kaoru (Manga) / int_7ef728b1	comment	Tsundere: Nana, although with a twist — she's the submissive in an on-again-off-again BDSM relationship with her Childhood Friend. 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. Nana switches to type A tsun when her mother finally comes home (using almost the same words as Kaoru, at that).

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.

Nana to Kaoru (Manga) / int_acecb17d	comment	Chekhov's Skill: Kaoru's running becomes really important later on when he has to take a Diving Save to protect Ryoko, long after everyone's forgotten about it. He's not even winded by the run (although his shoulder is pretty banged up from the fall) while his unknown rival, the student council president, is openly exhausted and couldn't keep up. Considering the president is an all around perfect bishonen, and Kaoru is, well, not... character isn't the only thing that Kaoru is developing.

At Ryoko's request, Kaoru and Ryoko experiment together once with Ryoko as the dominant and Kaoru as the submissive. Kaoru is turned on and tempted by the experience, but ultimately decides that giving in to his arousal towards Ryoko would be a betrayal of Nana, and fights to end the breather early.

When the two fiercely run shoulder to shoulder to claim the inner lane, Ryoko slips and collides into Nana, causing both of them to fall and leaving the winner of the two indeterminate. Kaoru ends up giving the breather to both of them together.

Nana to Kaoru (Manga) / int_b6064061	type	Power of Trust
Nana to 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 to Kaoru (Manga) / int_eb9e6184	comment	Stupid Sexy Flanders: When Nana finishes a race looking more like she's had a 'breather', one of the younger girls feels her heart skip a beat at the sight of it.

Nana to Kaoru (Manga) / int_ec02c97e	comment	A Defied Trope with Kaoru and Nana using the dental gag. When Kaoru teases Nana about tasting her saliva from his hand, it's another boot to the head before he can.

Nana to Kaoru (Manga) / int_f10d3363	comment	Distracted by the Sexy: The reason Kaoru can't concentrate on his revision with Nana. At first, until the nipple clips are introduced. A variation in Chapter 54, Nana keeps getting distracted by thinking about what Kaoru has in store for their next "Breather". At one point she's apparently been standing in the middle of the girls changing room with a big grin on her face for several minutes. At another, she misses a race starting without her.
