Title: Nana to Kaoru
Mangaka: Amazume Ryuta
Genre: Romance; Mature; Comedy; Slice of Life; Ecchi; Seinen
Seventeen year old Sugimara Kaoru and Chigusa Nana (17 years old) live next to each other and because both of them are from single parent homes, Kaoru and Nana are very close friends, outside and after school. One of the reasons Kaoru does not like to draw attention to the fact that he and Nana are friends is because Nana has blossomed into a tall and very beautiful girl, who is very athletic. (that’s why she’s on the school’s track and field team.) She also serves on the student council and she’s also a hard working student with excellent grades. Kaoru on the other hand is not blessed with good looks in fact; he is quit short and scrawny. Since he’s a slacker there’s no way he’s grades would be good (that’s why he’s in the “F” class and Nana is in the “A” class)
Like any boy his age Kaoru likes porn however; he has delved so deep into the depths that he has acquired a fetish for SM. He spends his allowance on toys and other paraphernalia relating to his fetish. Recently he started having dreams in which he had Nana in bondage.
Kaoru’s still at school when his mom decides to teach him a lesson by hiding all the
paraphernalia. His mom spots Nana walking by and asks her (Nana) to hold onto the items for a while. Nana takes the package, not realizing what’s inside. Once Nana’s in her room she discards the package and starts pacing. She’s been told that while her grades are good, it’s not good enough for her to be admitted to the best university. Her guidance counselor told her that she’ll make it, Nana just had to relax keep busy with a hobby or find a way to release all the pent-up frustration. Nana stops pacing upon discovering that the contents of the package had spilled out. She picks up an item

A minute or two later, she’ s find herself in front of the mirror admiring the fact that the outfit accentuates the curves and contours of her body, not to mention the one piece is a near perfect fit.

Upon further inspection, she discovers a lock on the one piece.

In the mean time, Kaoru has come home only to discover someone stole his stash and he rightly assumes that the culprit is his mother. While he’s brooding about the fact he has no porn for the evening, he hears a knock at the door. He opens the door only to find that it’s Nana and wearing a very long coat.

Chigusa Nana
Because she’s swamped due to her involvement with the student counsel, track and field and her studies; Nana’s quite tense. The day she accidentally found herself locked in a revealing one piece, she discovered a side to herself she never knew existed. Kaoru’s price for helping was for Nana to model the outfit. While showing Kaoru how the one piece fits her, she felt Kaoru’s eyes on her body, her body responded to the praise Kaoru laid upon her but it’s when he touched her (for a second) that she found the release she’s been craving. Finally, she’s able to breathe.
Well a few days go by before she finds herself back at Kaoru’s asking him if he can’t help her again; she needs another “breather”.
Sugimara Kaoru
Kaoru likes Nana. So when Nana shows up at his door wearing the outfit he made for her, he discovers how responsive she is under certain circumstances; it turned out to be the creation of a unique bond.
What I found amazing was the fact that in order for Nana to have a successful “breather” Kaoru has to come up more extreme ideas, this implies that Nana has to TRUST Kaoru, amazingly she does. This demonstrates the depths of this unique relationship.
This is a romantic title with a difference!
This has to be one of the best manga I’ve ever read, I wholly recommend to all open mined people over the age of 16. The age restriction is mainly because of the risqué subject matter and because a character reads a magazine featuring topless models in one chapter.
