Nana to Kaoru

Kaoru is a 17-year-old virgin who has an S&M fetish. He has always dreamt about an SM relationship with his childhood friend Nana, who is looked upon as perfect and is always the target of boys' eyes. Their relationship has somewhat deteriorated through the years, due to them hanging out with different people and because Kaoru is not taking his education too seriously.

One day though, Kaoru's mother gives some of his S&M toys to Nana for safekeeping. Nana finds the leather one-piece that Kaoru bought and tries it on but accidentally locks herself in it and doesn't have the key!

Kaoru frees her of the one-piece, but then Nana realizes she may like Kaoru's hobby more than she thought and subsequently the two of them start engaging in so-called "breathers." These breathers are intended to relieve Nana of stress, stress originating from her attempts at keeping her grades and her name perfect.

Enjoyable manga series, please you must read the manga it s fucking awesome. Nana is a very good character and kaoru our lovely dumby protagonist.
Their manga are more especific about erotism and bondage and it can show as a fetichist relationship with romance and comedia at the same time.

Maybe this adaptation is not the best, but at leats it can puts the fetichist as a reason to star the reading. If I should say sometime to convice you I will say that this particular manga has a special feeling and it illustrate a firts bondage or BDSM relationship very well.
It 's starts ... describing kaoru and his parther as a shy couple introducing themselves at the fetichist.

P.D: I can't write inglish well, so sorry if you don't understand me....

Mixed Feelings

I have not read the manga, but I might have to. This adaptation seems to have a good character design and I like the art style. However, it lacks depth of any kind even for an ecchi show.

One thing that also detracts a lot, is that it seems to have been canceled since the episode claimed "to be continued" yet none has come out. The art itself is not top-notch probably due to budget constraints. The music is below average. The voice acting is decent. The ecchi scenes are plenty for a 1 episode OVA, but due to the fact that this ought to ... have more episodes, I'd argue they're not enough.

The reason this is not lower than a 4/10 is because the character designs are good, it contains a decent amount of ecchi action and the voice acting is also decent.

I do not want to be too judgmental of others sexuality, but I have a very strong sense of duty to protect women and children. Nothing enrages me more than abuse, especially sexual abuse of women and children. So I had a very hard time getting the bad taste out of my mouth from the S&M theme of this show. I gave it a try because the description talks about the relationship being mutual and that the girl enjoys it, so I thought what the heck? I'll never watch 50 shades of gray so maybe this will be like a small taste of that culture. ... I regretted it from the moment I saw the male character. They did a great job making him look disgusting, and I just wanted to punch him in the face every time I saw it. The art took some getting used to, the shading on the characters necks was really annoying, but other than that Nana was beautifully drawn which is really the only reason I finished the show. I do enjoy Ecchi, but I was more upset than turned on by this OVA.
