Nana to Kaoru

Description

From Fakku:
Kaoru is in love with his childhood friend-turned-perfect school idol, Nana. Over the years, their relationship has become strained with the differences in their lifestyles, but Kaoru still wishes Nana would help him realize his ultimate fantasy: a BDSM relationship with her! One day, Kaoru's mother finds his toys and gives them to the ever-responsible Nana to rid her son of distractions, but Nana can't help putting on the leather piece she pulls out of the bag. Starting off as a joke, she loves the feel of tight leather against her soft skin until she accidentally locks herself in and needs Kaoru's help! This moment awakens something inside of Nana, whose stressful life could use some fun, and could be the start of Kaoru's dreams come true.

Note: The chapter numbering resets after moving from Young Animal Arashi to Young Animal.

The "bestest" ever

by L3zl13

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

This manga masterfully creates sexual tension without any real sex, nudity or even a kiss.

After 36 chapters it absolutely deserves a 10.

Especially since Tachi appeared. And in the recent chapters there seems to be a rivalry evolving between her and Nana.

I'm really curious which way will the story go. 😀

Hot, Sexy, Perverted... I didn't think that a manga could be so enticing. I've read ALOT of H-manga and
have watched ALOT of porn. None have been as alluring and sensuous as Nana to Kaoru. The faces that Nana makes are so debauched that you can ejaculate by just looking at them, and Then Tachi comes along with the raunchiest look ever. I swear, I almost jizzed in my pants. This is a must read.

It's mediocre

Too many tens, seriously guys, what's going on? Most of it is typical, what isn't typical showcases the worst of certain tendencies in this genre, and the hentai that usually comes from it. The guy looks extra pathetic, he isn't likeable one bit. The girl likes to be dominated secretly, and they like each other because they knew each other when they were young(cause that's how it works).

I don't like S&M but I'm not knocking it either. This is still meh, but with the added knowledge that it didn't start in a good relationship, with the disturbing hentai mind set.

the part people like most about this isn't the whole perverted things. yes it does add something good to keep the attention, but its the romance between the two that mostly keeps us interested. It certainly isn't your typical topic and from the accuracy of information to the beautiful artwork a lot of work was put into this and for me its my top manga

I don't give 10's often.

You know... I wouldn't exactly say that it's the sweetest or greatest Romance in the world, but it certainly is very interesting. When I started it, there were only 3 chapters, and I was hooked enough to want to know more. I found out they weren't going to translate it anymore, and I refused to accept that. NtK has a special place in my heart because I was the one that pushed it out there to be picked back up again. I really do love this series. Each chapter keeps me wanting more. The only thing I really hate about this series is... I have to wait a month at least for a new chapter. I get excited when I see a new one released.
The characters are a little more real world than in other romances. You have two kids that have been friends, but nothing more. They suffer too great a difference in looks and ability. Regardless of that, each of their seasons chips a little more of that wall away, and even makes the normally lazy Kaoru some motivation to self improve.
Ok... maybe it's not THAT realistic... but that's because most of us are lazy. Pft... self improvement... that stuff is for losers 😛

I finally decided to read this...

by kirco0

Rating: N/A

and I'm glad I did. People's opinions of the main character made me not want to read this at all, but after I started, I really liked it. Neither of the main character are sleazy, like other readers may say. Though both could be considered perverted, they are really just two growing teens learning about their own sexual limits and what love really is. If the BDSM were to be replaced with baseball or martial arts, the storyline really wouldn't be any different. Though sexual perversion seems to be the focal point of the manga, it's not. The real focus is on the developing relationship between the two main characters. That being written, I wouldn't recommend this for anyone under 16.

I think him being a short, sleazy pervert, is what make this manga so funny, gotta love the narrow eyes and the rounded face he makes when seducing nana, is just too hilarious XD.

I've read this for a while, and I got to say:
This manga would be so much more enjoyable if the protagonist was actually likeable instead of a short, sleazy pervert.
A normal guy with a bondage fetish would've been perfectly fine.

Accurate-ish depiction of bondage?

by blong_bling
16 years ago

Rating: N/A

Being somewhat familiar with bondage myself, I like the accurate depictions of it in this manga. How Kaoro ties someone up and then pretends to be absent for hours, whilst discreetly remaining nearby in case something goes wrong.

This is pretty much in line with the "safe, sane and consensual" rule practiced in BDSM.

I can't remember them agreeing on a safe word though... Or how to communicate this when one is unable to talk.

It gives an interesting look into the reasons why people practice bondage and submission. To push yourself beyond a barrier, to feel as if you were, and I quote from the manga, "a new person". The mutual trust involved and the importance of aftercare.

I hope this gets people interested in bdsm having seen how it is practiced safely and between consenting adults.

There are many inaccurate depictions around, most associating it with non-consensual sex. That, regardless of kink included, is always a bad thing. Unless, of course, you like it in the form of pre-agreed roleplay 😉

In short: Nana to Kaoru provides a more accurate and complete view into the world of bdsm than most works, and is therefore a rare gem, a 'must-read' for those who are curious about their kinks.
