Line 82:
* [[Fan Boy]]: Kaoru.
* [[Fan Disservice]]: Kaoru in a girl's swimsuit. 'nuff said.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: ''Nana to Kaoru: Arashi'', scanlators (and therefore fans) used this to differentiate the main series running in ''Young Animal'' to the newest one running in ''Young Animal Arashi''; in truth the Arashi magazine also
* [[Fan Service]]: This manga skirts the line between [[Ecchi]] and full-blown [[Hentai]]. (Unsurprisingly, because [[Bleached Underpants|most of the author's previous work]] ''is'' full-blown Hentai.)
** And it's done [[With My Hands Tied|without explicit sex, nudity, or even kissing]] -- at least until the more explicit arc in a sister publication.
Line 88:
** Well, Nana seems to have a thing for doing this to him. In a mini-arc, she invites him to a shrine visit, alone...and really [[Yamato Nadeshiko|she looks and acts the part for the day]], [[Tsundere|most of the time]]. Bonus points for wearing a special yukata that announces that she's ''looking for a husband.'' She couldn't be more blatant with him without sticking her hands down his trousers.
*** This is also a rather funny [[Shout-Out|author gag]] to ''[[Happy Negative Marriage]]''. It also doubles as [[Author Appeal]] - nearly all his characters encounter marriage as a theme at some point.
* [[
** ''Shibari'' (rope bondage) [https://web.archive.org/web/20140202051514/http://www.hikarikesho.com/eng/shibari.php has a long tradition in Japan], where it was used to restrain prisoners. It was (and still is, in traditional samurai martial arts schools) taught as part of a samurai's training.▼
* [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant]]: Between [[Taste the Rainbow|Nana, Tachi and Mitsuko,]] we have the following, though Nana still takes the cake:
** [[Bokukko]]
Line 110 ⟶ 112:
* [[Freud Was Right]]: Discussed in-story in {{spoiler|Kaoru's lecture on anal play}}.
* [[Funbag Airbag]]
* [[Genki Girl]]: Mitsuko Tachibana, the porn shop manager. Never has anybody been so
** She even takes over Kaoru's position of [[Mr. Exposition]] about the finer points of BDSM in ''NTK Black Label''!
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Nana eventually [http://read.homeunix.com/onlinereading/?image=Nana%20to%20Kaoru/Nana%20to%20Kaoru%20c042/Nana_to_Kaoru_YA_c20_18.png&server=nas.html remarks]{{Dead link}} upon the fact that, despite her initial refusals, she ends up doing the things anyway.
Line 224 ⟶ 226:
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: An unmarried example, but no one could be blamed for doing a double take at seeing Kaoru and Nana together. Kaoru's friends even take a jab at their supposed unsuitability for each other.
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Played with. Kaoru feels this way about Nana in general, but the breathers have given him a chance to connect with her, and the growing attraction each feels for the other could lead to an actual relationship down the road.
* [[
** But then again, this is not without some [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|pain]].▼
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: After reading this, you will never again be able to talk about "taking a breather" without giggling.
* [[Urine Trouble]]: In what happens to be one of this series' [[Your Mileage May Vary|few overly tasteless]] moments (chapter 6 and chapter 21).
▲* [[UST]]: Considering the [[Bound and Gagged|things]] [[Urine Trouble|that]] Kaoru [[Spank the Cutie|does]] to Nana, the fact that there ''is'' UST is impressive.
▲** But then again, this is not without some [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|pain]].
* [[Visible Silence]]
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: When his friends are debating whether or not {{spoiler|the anus counts as genitals}} ([[What an Idiot!|What]]) and ask for his opinion, Kaoru goes into a lecture about anal play... complete with references to [[Freud Was Right|Freud]] and enemas. [[Brain Bleach|Cheers, Kaoru.]]
▲* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: This manga can make ''BDSM'' and ''bondage'' look like an art form!
▲** ''Shibari'' (rope bondage) [https://web.archive.org/web/20140202051514/http://www.hikarikesho.com/eng/shibari.php has a long tradition in Japan], where it was used to restrain prisoners. It was (and still is, in traditional samurai martial arts schools) taught as part of a samurai's training.
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: {{spoiler|Kimono's come undone? Fetch the rope and bind her breasts with bondage ties so it'll fit better.}}
* [[Write Who You Know]]: It's implied in Black Label that Sarashina-sensei uses this to come up with the plot of his books.
