Synopsis

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.

At lot of people seem to see this as complete representation of the mange or even the story of Nana and Kaoru.
And although this might have been the starting point it is not the end result.

What we have here are 2.5 moments out of the mange as anime instead of an adaptation.

If you - have not read - the mange this will make no sense as, like other people pointed out, there is no story and you don't see their relationship develop.
If you - have read - than this will be a nicely done representation of 2.5 moments out of the first part of the ...

Mixed Feelings
This manga, Nana to Kaoru and its sidestory, Nana to Kaoru Arashi, are the top two favorites out of all I have ever read. The mangaka, Amazume Ryuta-sensei, is an outstanding and prolific artist and author, one of my best mangaka IMHO, though in making a 24-minute long OVA was great mistake.

On a stand alone, one-shot OVA, it was fine work, I would guess, though leaving me wanting for more to follow. But to make such a short, one-shot episode based on the works published to date of release? Cruel and unusual punishment, there was nothing we, the audience and followers of Amazume-sensei and ...

A butchery of the source material, really.

The premise is badly explained, as well as the motivations of both Nana and Kaoru.

The initial breather depicted was done fairly faithfully, though Nana's warring inner dialogues left a lot to be desired, and the pinnacle of the scene with Kaoru damaging the prop to get Nana out of it was omitted.

The second S&M scene was also poorly adapted, in the manga it was supposed to detail Kaoru's one lapse in control as a benevolent dom, but since they once again omitted the end of the scene, it just portrayed him as an asshole.

If the ...
