Manga: Nana to Kaoru 2008-2014

Nana to Kaoru Manga

NANA Chigusa. "Lucky" doesn't even decribe Kaoru

Summary: Kaoru is a 17-year old virgin who has a SM fetish. He always dreams about a SM relationship with his childhood friend Nana. One day Kaoru's mom decides to hide all his SM toys so he'll study for a change, by asking Nana to hide his toys. Nana finds the leather one-piece that Kaoru bought and tries it on but she accidentally locks it and doesn't have the key! Nana to Kaoru scores very high on my reading-list and I recommend this to anyone who likes romance manga but wants something different than the often too-much-stretched struggle for a couple to get together, instead skip to the exciting part of a relationship and at the same time stay within the boundaries of ecchi manga, not hentai. Yes, NANA TO KAORU is a Maverick one!!!

I sumbled upon this when Anime News Network mentioned that BLACK LABEL was coming to a close. I had no idea what was going on so i looked into it. NANA to Kaoru is a manga series that came out in 2008. I'd had read the first couple issues and then forgotten about it. Here it is now April 2014 and I learned that the series is still going. YES

The beautiful Tachi and Nana

I have now read all the way through the main series. The scanned version stops when the two are about to get a new collar. DAMN!

In my opinion the main series has been the best. I have looked and it seems the series has not been picked up in North America.

Nana Chigusa: Next door neighbor to KAORU, Top student, parents divorced, both never around send money to NANA. She becomes Kaoru's main SUB (submissive)

Kaoru Sugimura: Next door neighbor to NANA. Lower student, has mother lost Father. Completely into BDSM. Becomes a DOM over time. (dominant)

Tachi Ryouko: Athlete. Hard body, Tan. Kaoru meets during his jogging days. She stumbles upon the main characters "breathers" Falls in love with Kaoru. Insists on doing more breathers with them. She becomes the second SUB (submissive)

At first I read through to find that the two characters relationship was cute enough to follow. Then Tachi Ryouko came into it. She is why I followed the rest on through. This series has a bit of a rush to it. When reading it there are literally mental sessions to go though. Each "breather" that is held by It is a form of break that NANA needs to escape being relied on. NANA is the class president. Top student among all.
