Nana & Kaoru (Japanese: ナナとカオル, Hepburn: Nana to Kaoru) is a Japanese erotic romantic comedy manga series written and illustrated by Ryuta Amazume . It was serialized on Hakusensha's seinen manga magazine Young Animal Arashi (2008–2009) and Young Animal (2009–2016), with its chapters collected in eighteen tankōbon volumes. Three other manga series have also been released, as well as an original video animation and two live action films.
Plot
[edit]Kaoru Sugimura is a 17-year-old virgin who has an S&M fetish. He has always dreamt about an SM relationship with his childhood friend and next-door neighbor Nana Chigusa, 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. Nana has become very stressed at school, that a teacher suggests she find a way to relax. 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 does not have the key. After Kaoru frees her of the one-piece, Nana soon discovers that the activity has caused her to relax and improve her academic performance. The two of them start engaging in more S&M activities which they call "breathers." The story follows their activities as they explore the world of S&M while keeping it a secret from some of their schoolmates and family.
Black Label
[edit]The story takes place several months after the end of the main series and follows Nana and Kaoru during their vacation. Kaoru has met his idol, erotic novelist Shuutarou Sarashina, by chance— who, in turn, has been inspired by Kaoru's youthful enthusiasm on the subject of S&M and invites him to help on a new book—while Nana has asked Mitsuko to tutor her on various subjects. Unbeknownst to both Nana and Kaoru, Sarashina and Mitsuko are, in fact, lovers and Mitsuko is the main inspiration for Sarashina's novels, but their feelings for each other seem to have become twisted and broken over the years. Over the course of the vacation, Nana and Kaoru encounter severe depths of S&M that they had never considered before, slowly taking a step forward in their relationship while also helping Sarashina and Mitsuko come to terms with their own feelings for each other that they have hidden with S&M for so long.
Kōkōsei no SM Gokko
[edit]A direct sequel to the original manga, which begins in Nana and Kaoru's third year of High-school. The first seven chapters take place before Black Label, with subsequent chapters taking place after.

With so much riding on her, a teacher suggests she find a way to take a breather to relieve stress. She discovers that participating in the erotic S&M play as a masochist to her next-door neighbor Kaoru has completely improved her academic situation. The two had fallen out of touch to a degree in the beginning of the series, but grow closer as they begin their breathers, with Kaoru helping Nana relieve herself, from the struggles she faces being a "perfect" student. She is supported by him greatly, even when she does not realize, and gradually falls in love with him, which she realizes towards the end of the series.

Initially, he holds intensely dark desires to dominate Nana, which he holds back for a while, but eventually realizes he does not want to hurt her, and merely loves her and wants her to love him back.

Their relationship further develops in the spin-off, "Black Label" In the live-action film he is portrayed by Rakuto Tochihara. In the original video animation, he is voiced by Junji Majima.[2]
- Mitsuko Tachibana
- Tachibana runs the S&M store that Kaoru frequents. She has vast knowledge of S&M and also teaches Nana about various things involved in the lifestyle. Little is said about Tachibana in the main series, save that she has in-depth knowledge about the workings of S&M; however, in the spin off "Black Label" more is revealed; She is lovers with the much-older, erotic novelist, Shuutarou Sarashina. While she loves him dearly, she fears if he might leave her, so she does anything she can to make herself his "perfect woman", in a sense, binding him to her. However, she and Sarashina eventually come to terms with each other and they truly admit the love they hold for each other. She majored in Japanese history at Todai, studying culture and customs since the Meiji period, where she first discovered S&M, in forms of torture. She even went to graduate school.
- Ryoko Tachi

After learning of Kaoru's secret hobby, she develops an interest herself and tries to have Kaoru involve her in some of the activities. Unlike most characters, she seems to be able to switch from being a submissive to a dominant, but is clearly more appreciative of her submissive side. As chapters goes by, she ends loving Kaoru, but she is aware that Kaoru will never see her in the same way as Nana, and she seems to be fine with that, even helping Nana when needed. Nana at first saw Tachi as her love and M rival, but after some time, she became one of her closest friends.
- Shuutarou Sarashina
- An erotic novelist; while mentioned several times in the original series, he never appears in it.

He makes his official appearance in the Spin-off, Black Label, where he meets Kaoru by accident and invites him to help on his latest book. He and Mitsuko are lovers; Having met when Mitsuko was a college student. They bonded through S&M, but the years have taken a toll on them, and twisted their feeling for each other from love, into a darker obscure feeling of possession. However, with Nana and Kaoru's help, they both eventually come to terms with their feelings and truly admit their love for each other.
