Hi there!
This topic will contain spoilers since there are important aspects that must be discussed and thought about.
First of all I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to the Author and any group or individual that has worked to bring us this awesome story for us to read and enjoy.
I really enjoyed this flashforward Nana and Kaoru had which dove deeper into their feelings for each other and the understanding of their own ones, clearly shown when Nana is tied up for the last time and in the last chapter. Art was very good, the script caught my attention a lot, sometimes I felt like I was only in for the dialogue and did not pay attention to the art and then re-read the page again. It was perfect.
What I do not understand is what will happen to Nana to Kaoru. At the start of the series we all know that Nana and Kaoru will end up in a relationship, but not know how they will end up. This we see somehow at the finale of Nana to Kaoru Arashi and the clear "I want more". Seems to me that ending Nana to Kaoru Arashi defeated the purpose of the original series by exploring their relationship and feelings in a more personal way. What comes to mind is that the author will finish the original series (don't know how since Taichi is kind of the third wheel, and more "wheels" keep appearing like femdom sister and the classmate that has weird tastes) and make a third story that explores even more their feelings now that they both want the same. However I would be okay without it.
Thoughts?

As I was discussing this with a chatter in IRc earlier today I think what you should look at is that this entire series takes place in a ONE WEEK span of the summer in their senior year. It shouldn't be considered as anything but a side step in the time between summer vacation and their senior year and possibly beyond.

I know and understand what you mean but the main story is very far away from what has happened in this week, I do not know how many months both stories are apart exactly but it seems to be over a year.
not to mention that they are nowhere near a kiss scene like we have seen

In the arc around making a collar for nana in the mainstory, Kaoru says it'll be for just one,more year, so at that moment they are already in their senior year. The owner of the shop also makes something for Tachibana, to inspire her master (the author of sm stories)... I even thought this was happening after black label, but now im not sure anymore xD
