Nana to Kaoru Review

 

This is one shot OVA based on the long running manga series. 

Manga is a mixed bag; certain chapters are good, but overall it is rather flawed. Manga does not strictly focus on male domination and female submission but rather explores all sorts of fetishes that would normally appeal to different types of people. I personally have a hard time imagining a guy who would be into crossdressing and Maledom/femsub at the same time.

By extension in both manga and anime there are no M/s dynamics per se. Instead Nana (the girl) occasionally looks all too shy, cute and insecure in all the BDSM gear, then just snaps at Kaoru and it all ends.

Fortunately for me, anime decided to animate the BDSM parts. Alas it is only about Nana trying bondage clothes for the first time. I wish they also did the pet play scene with that other girl, its the best.

Quality of animation is very good, one of the best in a hentai anime. Crips lines and well drawn body that does not require too much imagination to find appealing.

On the negative side is the fact that director likes to savour moments and drag the action tad too far. Most of the time very little happens, Kaoru just stared at Nana while camera painstakingly slow moves up or down Nana's body.

That said some pictures of Nana that you can find online looks really great.

Overall its not too bad of a show, but it could have been much better. 

Generally if we could put all the best parts of all shows together, it will be an awesome hentai.
