Nana to Kaoru, another great manga adaptation

Oh no~~ Asuka has been abducted by unknown assailants and has been bound up? Looks like I'll need help with the ransom from you, just support by ordering a kigurumi mask~^_^

Actually, the reason for Asuka being in this state is because she's started taking "breathers", from Kaoru hehe~ But please do not be mistaken, it is not Kaoru kun form Evangelion, he's still obsessed with Shinji kun. The Kaoru kun in this case is Kaoru Sugimura from the popular softcore ecchi manga, Nana to Kaoru by artist, Amazume Ryuta. It is NOT a hentai manga, read on and watch the review to find out more.

I've came across the manga series since some time ago and just thought that its a rather well done ecchi manga and nothing more. But it seems that I'm not the only one who thinks its quite well made, its has gotten a live action adaptation and even an anime OVA being released. Its not really a surprise, and I'm quite happy to see it becoming so. It is after all no small publication with so far 6 volumes, a new series and a handful of specials.


Though its ecchi, it revolves around mainly softcore and a good storyline. It talks about two childhood friends who goes to the same high school where the girl is a beautiful elite student and the male is an SM freak and castout. Being neighbours and old friends, the girl began seeking help to relieve stress from her busy schedule in the form the two secretly call "breathers" sessions. Seems like the story grew from there to involve tons of humour and also unparallelled good manga artwork. Scenes can get very erotic, but NO explicit material or genitals are shown. Probably that's why it managed to get such a huge media following as its safe.

In order to best understand the story, one has to first read the manga. There are 4 series, Nana to Kaoru, Nana to Kaoru YA, Nana to Kaoru Arashi, Nana to Kaoru Specials. You have to read from the beginning in order not to be confused, which is the original "Nana to Kaoru". Then you can proceed to the rest in the same order as the names I show above, the specials are excepted.

The first few volumes of the manga series can be found packaged here:

Thats just half of everything so far, you'll just need to Google for the rest once you finish, its popular so its very easy to find. Check out the manga review below~^_^




As for the live action well, most people who liked how the drawings are made can find a number of mistakes with real people acting it out. LoL, well I guess thats something to deal with. If you like the manga, you wouldn't miss the live action. I've watched it and its not bad. A live depiction of a favourited manga, no complains. You should be able to obtain it through you usual means. Take a look at the trailer below~^_^ If you enjoyed it, let me know what you think~^_^
