Oh god I knew this day was coming but at least it's coming to a natural conclusion and has been heading that way for a while. So sad, been my favourite series for so long. Nothing compares. Think I'm gonna cry.

Hope we get a sequel series or one shot that shows Nana and Kaoru in the future. I need that closure.

Yes, OMG. I am both shocked and not shocked by the news. It does seem to be coming to a conclusion. But also I feel like I could keep reading it forever. It is weird to to say about a manga about S&M but it is also one where I felt the romance and relationship between the two main characters felt much more natural than in most titles. This title totally needs good closure, I sure hope it gets it.

I'm sad that it's coming to an end, but I'm also really looking forward to finishing it. Kind of a strange feeling.

Definitely one of my favorite series as well, the artwork is amazing and I love the two leads.

Agreed totally about the relationship between Nana and Kaoru being more natural than most, especially so since it's set at high school ages, it developed perfectly. Pretty much the benchmark.

Wonder what Ryuta Amazume will do next. His last two series (Misoji Otome to Mote Hatachi and Ichi Kyuu Kyuu Peke) have ended and he's not currently drawing a series. Not sure of his age but hope he continues in some capcity. His art is second to none with only a few ero artists coming close and he understands so well what he writes about.

Huh, I mean, I was expecting it to come to an end soon, but not that soon.

I wonder if the manga will ever get picked up over here. I really want to have it rather than just read fan scanslations.

Well, this is bittersweet.

Nana to Kaoru isn't perfect; there are some sexual politics at play that really don't belong in a healthy relationship, BDSM or otherwise (though this is more an ongoing problem Amazume has with his writing than anything else), but at the end of the day seeing Nana and Kaoru grow closer together was nice. I appreciated seeing Kaoru come to grips that he really does care for Nana as a person, even if he thinks that he doesn't deserve her, and seeing Nana learn to stand up for herself even if it means coming off as brusque.

Like... I'm not ready for this, guys. I love these two dorks. I wanna buy 'em a soda and hug them both and tell them they'll be okay and that growing up is hard but they'll be okay because they're good people. Anime cry

That was the good part.

I stopped around when he was making the custom collar. It's an excellent manga. A must read.

So bummed. Genshiken and now this (though at least with Genshiken we have Spotted Flower).

For so long I wanted a time skip and for it to continue post-Black Label.

Yooooo, I read and watched all there is so far on nana to kaoru and the story is just so well made, this is a story that I got hooked on. Its 2019 and tbh i want to read more of it but sadly it's over. If I could make a fund account just for the publishers and the artist to come back and continue the story I so would, I want to know WHAT HAPPENS NEX. Uuuuuugh like what happens during the rest of highschool, do they stay together? Go to the same university? Do they actually admit they love each other? Like cmon man I want to know just like everyone else who has read everything. This is by far the best s&m story I have ever read, its constantly wanting the reading to be pulled into the story, wondering what's going to happen, will they or wont they. Hopefully one day they might actually read this post and actually go back and let us know what happens next. If I could hand them money for them to continue I would do it in a heart beat.
