New Edition The Sarashina Diaries
Spanking the Heavenly Maiden Sarashina Shuutarou
A ribald tale in which two youths awaken to the joys of S&M in a cottage in Sarashina Shuutarou's sanctum/playroom.
in Shinshuu.
And then-
Sorry I'm late.
Did you wash your hands?
We ought to hurry.
Should we go?
Yeah, let's go.
Yeah.
They'll see me!
Bye!
Everyone will...
see me like this!
Nana.
Kaoru!
There you are!
You're studying right after your exams?
I did pretty well on math and English, but I tripped up on Japanese history.
So, what's up?
Well, I want to ask Yagami, the Student Council president,
if we can come over to his house for our Student Council meeting during spring break.
What's stopping you?
It's too embarrassing! Can you propose it instead?
Why should I have to do it?
My name is Sugimura Kaoru,
an 11th-grade sleazebag who still has his V-card.
How about we go over to study instead of just "coming over"?
It's the same thing!
Ask him yourself!
I like imagining different forms of S&M play.
The 11th graders who will be participating...
And this is Chigusa Nana.
She's the girl next door.
She's good at school, sports, and everything else.
Geez, you should take a breather once in a while.
Huh?
But good girls do build up a lot of stress.
So I've been secretly helping Nana out with her breathers.
Ugh, Creepymura.
What? Don't look at me!
I wasn't looking at you!
Ugly!
You were ogling me!
Let's go!
When Nana...
comes asking for another breather...
what should I try?
Nana totally trusts me.
Which means...
she thinks I'm not man enough to take it further.
Nana looked hot in that bondage suit!
Still...
Let's be realistic here.
Nana and I go together like oil and water.
Sure, we go way back, but now she's just the girl next door.
I wouldn't even be surprised if she has a boyfriend.
We'll be going our separate ways soon enough.
But... before we do...
This is probably a little too much for her.
So I only get to be with Nana when I help her with her breathers.
Why does that give me a rise?
Am I just a perv?
Sure.
Hey!
Here!
Thanks.
But I... know a side of Nana nobody else knows.
Pass me another one.
I... know a side of Nana nobody else knows.
What's with you, Sugimura? You feeling okay?
Uh, yeah.
Sorry.
Oh, this is beautiful!
It's great that it comes with a DVD, but...
2,700 yen?
Whoa! Sarashina-sensei's new book!
I wanna read that!
I guess the "A" is okay.
Oh, that flower on the "Ri" is a little squashed. Can you fix that?
Yeah, that's fine.
Is the "U" okay?
Yes, add some flowers to the "To."
Oh, don't forget the "Sen."
Now that's a great ass.
If only she had the personality to go along with it.
Yeah.
But you gotta love those firm thighs.
A small animal wouldn't stand a chance if she kicked it.
Can you take care of that?
Come on.
What are you guys doing?
The class chose you for this, so you'd better help out!
You've got enough people already!
No, we don't.
Why don't you make flowers with those strips?
Can you do that? That would be great.
Condescending as usual.
God, this bites.
I wish she'd kick me.
Honestly, nobody will do anything unless you order them to.
Oh my God!
No way!
He'd go for that?
No way! Oh my God!
God, what am I gonna do?
But Senpai's-
Hey!
You haven't finished decorating the archway!
We've been thinking that we don't need flowers, because it's not a school festival.
Am I right?
No! We all decided on it.
Now do it.
We don't even want to do a send-off event.
Guys...
Do you intend to go through life being picky and choosy about everything?
If that's the case, why don't you all just quit school?
You probably came here by default anyway.
Now get back to work.
You can gossip later.
I'm exhausted!
And we still have that dumb meeting about the ceremony program!
Now, now.
Okay, let's go!
Come on, get your things.
Those girls didn't do it!
I guess we can say it's done.
No way! We all decided on this!
Yeah, you're right.
But why did those girls leave anyway?
Did you yell at them again?
You think you can say anything you want as long as you're right.
Mutsuki-san!
Sorry, Nana. I didn't mean it like that.
No, it's all right.
I'll do it.
Just leave it to me.
Geez, I'm all thumbs.
So I'm unhandy and a prude?
All I do is hurt people.
I'm so dumb.
Take that!
You forgot that you ordered me to make these, didn't you? Geez...
They should be enough, right?
Eh? Huh?
N-Nana? Nana!
Hey, what gives? N-Nana?
You were crying over that?
I wasn't crying!
It's just that whenever I'm busy, I get stressed out and irritated.
You stand tall in front of everyone.
But what is the real Nana like?
Whenever you wear a dog collar or get tied up...
you enjoy it so much.
It gives you such a thrill...
that you loosen up.
Don't you think you need a breather?
In order to get rid of your tension and loosen up,
you need to do something in a common, everyday place that could wreck your image.
All you need is a thrill.
Huh?
Now?
Don't worry. I'll protect you.
Hey, do you want to do something after this?
I bought these just for you, Nana.
No, we can't! We're at school.
S&M and the unusual.
We're going to create a new reality that's related to the ordinary but is completely different from it.
And we must do it in a place where people go about their daily lives.
That's what Sarashina Shuutarou-sensei said.
She's submitting.
Just a little more!
Kaoru?
Wait! This wasn't part of the deal!
Now you look slutty!
That's enough!
I know I'm not perfect.
I think I'll go to the bathroom.
Huh? You're kidding, right?
Let me go!
We're only doing this because you wanted to.
Kaoru!
Sorry I'm late!
Did you wash your hands?
Kaoru, hurry up!
We ought to hurry.
Should we go?
Yeah, let's go.
Yeah.
They'll see me!
Bye!
This is... so embarrassing!
We may need to talk about that.
Nana.
Kaoru!
Good girl, Nana! You did great!
Jerk!
Ow!
Stop that!
Moron!
I can't take it off!
You stupid jerk!
Yow! God...
Dang, what's with you?
Jerk!
I'm trying to take it off!
Now that graduation's over, it's spring break!
What do you think we should do?
Do you have any plans for spring break, Mr. President?
I still have to attend cram school.
I see. We do have university exams next year.
I was thinking about taking lessons during spring break, too.
Huh?
Tomishima-sensei just sent us an email.
She's asking if we want to tour Nagano's power spots.
Tomishima-sensei? It's been ages!
What's this about?
She wants to show us the local attraction that they're going to put on their school website.
Chigusa-san, what about you? Will you think it over?
I've always wanted to go to Nagano!
I thought you said you had cram school!
The nine-tailed fox, the weapon of choice in S&M master Sarashina-sensei's novel!
Whoa, there's nothing like the real thing!
Should I use this to discipline Nana?
Nana... How's that, Nana?
Are you looking for a whip?
No, I...
What you have in your hand is a cat o' nine tails.
I know. It appears pretty often in Sarashina-sensei's novel.
You're familiar with Sarashina?
But you're so young.
Here, listen to this.
When a blindfolded pig slut feels the pain,
this sound will make her know that resistance is futile!
But these whips are too pricey.
I need to get a job.
So your mom's out working?
Yeah.
Tomishima-sensei sent the Student Council an email.
You mean the history teacher who transferred last year?
She wants us to tour Nagano's power spots.
What?
At first, I didn't want to.
However, I'm having trouble with history, so this might be a good chance to learn from her.
Are you coming along? I'll ask her for you.
Why do you have to be so condescending?
Like I want to tag along with the Student Council!
What's with that?
You always slink past our room and peek in.
I wasn't peeking! I was j-just...
I can't come with you! God!
Huh?
I don't have time for that.
Everyone else has plans. I'm the only one who's free.
So what's the problem?
I'm not your damn babysitter.
Chigusa-san!
It's been a while, Tomishima-sensei.
You look well! You must be tired.
Not at all!
Let me introduce you to the kids from Shinshuu South Academy.
Hi! I'm Marumo from the Student Council!
Nice to meet you!
I'm Numa.
I'm Uno.
I'm Chigusa Nana. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Hey, get her stuff!
Thank you very much.
This place is quite interesting in terms of local history.
The name of the Sarashina Diary, the book from the Heian period,
comes from the Sarashina area around Ubasute Mountain.
The "Sarashina" of "Sarashina Soba," right?
That's right. So you're interested in food, Chigusa-san?
Yeah, kind of.
There's a legend about a heavenly maiden.
A man stole her vestments while she was bathing,
so she traveled all over Shinshuu in pursuit of him.
We want a high-school girl from the city to tour the spots related to that!
Do you get recruited by talent agencies in the city?
All the guys in the city are either otaku or work in host clubs, right?
Stop embarrassing yourselves!
The stream flowing from this spring is a popular destination,
because it's supposed to have the power to preserve your beauty.
It's beautiful.
Chigusa-san! Let's take some pictures!
Oh, okay.
Come closer!
I've come to the land where the maiden alighted.
This place is so beautiful.
I can understand how the maiden could lose herself in the scenery.
Wow!
This place is gorgeous!
I know!
Even the air is delicious!
The heavenly maiden trekked aimlessly through Shinshuu, pursuing the man and her vestments.
This has become a spot to pray for a husband.
They say if you go to the right, you get a rich man.
And if you go to the left, you'll meet a wholesome person.
Huh? Again?
I can't come with you! God!
Huh?
What's going on?
Oh, uh, it's nothing.
If only the maiden who chased after the man had chosen a different path...
No, that's too sad to think about.
Okay, smile!
I wanted you to come and stay at one of the hot springs hotels. I'm sorry.
I'm doing this for school. I'm not allowed to have fun.
Come on. Hurry up!
God!
Hurry it up!
Sorry!
Is everything all right?
Sensei, you're slow!
It's not all right.
Hey, buck up! Come on!
So what's the problem?
I'm not your damn babysitter.
We'll be staying here.
What?
Kaoru!
Aw, shit!
What are you doing?
What? I-I'm working! Working!
Huh?
What's wrong?
Who is he?
He's a classmate of mine at Sakuramizo High.
Ew...
Hey, you, what's going on?
No problem, sir.
Excuse me.
Thanks.
You never thought you'd run into a friend all the way out here, huh?
That guy is too moody for a city kid.
We'll be heading back.
Chigusa-san, we'll see you tomorrow.
Yes. I'm looking forward to it.
Bye!
Later.
See you!
Bye!
You need to remember the people who were the standard bearers of our culture.
How those culture bearers change over time forms our overall cultural history.
You should first apply that concept to the economic changes in the Showa era.
You haven't changed a bit, Chigusa-san.
Huh?
You still try a little too hard.
I guess you're right.
Do you have any hobbies or love interests?
I have a purpose in life.
I want you to loosen up and have fun on this power spot tour.
Don't dwell on it too much.
Okay.
Oh yeah, that boy we met, uh...
You mean Kaoru?
Sugimura.
Kaoru? Did we have a student with that name?
Huh?
Did Kaoru want to come?
Was he chasing after me?
I put on Kaoru's fetish costume,
and I couldn't get it off.
I'd never felt such a thrill in my life.
For a second, it made me loosen up...
and forget about everything.
After that, my grades actually improved.
I guess I really do...
need Kaoru for my breathers.
But... hey, hey!
Hey, whatever you want!
Hey, come on!
Just kidding!
What are you doing?
Hey!
Yeah, but...
Stop it!
Yeah, but...
Morning!
Good morning!
The uniforms you wear in the city schools are cute!
Because this will also be on our school's website, I decided it would be better to wear my uniform.
Good morning, Kaoru!
Hey.
You look good in that outfit.
Kaoru, are you busy with work?
Well, I have some downtime till evening.
Then why don't you come with us?
I'm not even interested!
What the heck?
People call you Creepymura
because of that attitude of yours!
What? What? Shut up!
Tomishima-sensei invited you, so you should be polite when answering her!
Shut up! Leave me alone! Shut up!
If you were going to come anyway, you could've just agreed from the start.
God, shut up!
This is the place where it's said that the sad maiden wept.
Back in those days, cicadas, snakes, and other animals that shed skins
were said to die and revive every time they did so.
They say the maiden actually "shed" her heavenly vestments when she took them off,
and her bath was a ritual to resurrect herself.
Is Creepymura-san just someone you've known since you were little?
It's Sugimura.
I changed schools when I was in third grade.
I couldn't get used to my new surroundings,
and I was so strong-minded that I couldn't make any friends.
Kaoru was the only one who played with me.
He was my rival in school and in sports.
Rival? Get out.
It's true.
But she outstripped me in middle school.
Because of work, my mom was never around the house,
so there was no one else I could talk to.
Cut it out!
Enough of that.
Not that I think it could ever happen,
but you're not going out with Chigusa-san, are you?
You know I'm not the guy for Nana.
Got that right!
She's just lives next door to me!
She'll go someplace far away in less than a year anyway!
She'll be happy, and I won't be able to reach her.
Wow, he hates himself.
This is where you can crawl out of your old skin and be reborn.
This may be the perfect spot for me.
So, why are you working in Nagano?
Was it because I was coming?
Hell, no! It was a total coincidence!
You've been complaining to your teacher and those country students all day.
Are you under some stress?
Complaining?
I was just telling them what we used to do.
Should I just give you a thrill?
Are we on the same page?
I only do it because you ask me to!
If you don't like it, you can do your breathers by yourself.
And if I refuse...
there will be no more breathers.
Take off your panties!
Y-You know I can't do that!
Just put on a poker face... and order her!
Be intimidating... and don't take any lip from her!
I-I can't do it!
Really?
If you're just going to stand around, then I'm leaving.
Then that's it!
Sh-She's submitting!
Are you saying you don't need my breathers anymore?
As long as...
you're here.
Kaoru.
Don't you dare look up!
I won't.
I can't believe I'm doing a breather with Kaoru here.
I feel a draft.
This is...
Nana's heavenly vestment!
Sensei, can you move in a bit?
Yes, good.
Nana.
If you want your vestment back, you'd better do as I say.
Come forward!
She's so aroused that her cheeks are red!
And she's licking her parched lips!
This is the Nana that only I know.
And our secret breather.
Nana's breather.
This is Nana's breather, right?
Why am I having this funny feeling?
I can't believe I pulled a "Great Curse"!
Am I just messing with her...
Good for you!
No, it's not!
because I don't want her to leave me?
You don't get it that often.
Well, yeah...
Oh, it's ripping! It's ripping!
What?
It's ripping!
No, it's not!
I'm hurt!
God, you're so stupid!
Geez!
You all right?
Something's wrong with his leg.
His leg?
Should we head back?
We only have the Waterfall of the Vestment left for today.
We've come this far, so why don't Chigusa-san and Sugimura-kun go on without us?
We've already been there before.
Help me.
Are you okay?
Can you stand?
Come on, help me out!
One, two...
I'm so sorry. I'll leave it to you two.
Oh, God...
That was a rush!
I didn't want anyone to see.
That's right.
Did I... Did I not want anyone else to see my Nana?
So, can I have it back?
I feel bad for what we did to them.
Yeah.
Let's not do that in front of other people again.
In front of other people?
So, um...
What? You haven't had enough?
I think we're lost!
Huh?
What?
For the love of...
Fine. Let's just quit and head back.
Yeah.
There's no reception out here.
I won't make it to work on time!
We don't know the way back.
Let's go.
Nana!
Over there!
Come on.
Excuse me!
Hey, excuse me!
Is anyone home?
Excuse me!
Is this some kind of workshop?
They probably went back and forgot to turn off some of the lights.
What'll we do?
The phone line's dead.
Sensei must be worried.
I hope it doesn't turn into a fiasco.
The people using this place should be back in the morning.
Then they can help us.
So, do you remember what we talked about at noon?
Huh?
About how we were rivals in middle school?
Oh...
But you...
were a natural hard worker, unlike me.
Really?
I could tell.
You were watching me?
N-No, you've got it wrong!
I mean, everybody was watching you!
What are you getting at?
You'll catch a cold. Let's borrow their bath.
But...
Relax. They won't come back till morning.
It's not that. Are you going to...
What are you saying?
I'm not gonna peek!
If I'm not careful...
she'll know that I've fallen for her.
Kaoru?
Kaoru!
Kaoru, you didn't peek, did you?
I said I wouldn't!
So are you wet?
What?
Right.
They counted on me, but all I did was cause trouble.
Everyone at school has a different image of me.
This is all too stressful.
At times like this...
Isn't it best to at least apologize first?
You're ignoring me?
I came across your breathers totally by accident,
and they helped me loosen up.
I've worked hard and followed all the rules ever since I was little.
I never got scolded even once.
But all the punishments...
All the secrets...
All that torment...
Being bossed around...
They all... felt good.
Wh-Whatever!
I'll always...
But I'll have to learn how to get by on my own.
I knew it.
It'll all be over soon.
Good night.
There it is!
So...
Um...
You... don't know how to apologize, do you?
You need... to be punished.
Huh?
How's that, Nana?
Are you looking for a whip?
That whip is especially made for S&M, and it makes a loud noise.
Why did you bring those?
I carry them everywhere I go!
How am I... going to be punished?
You're getting your ass whipped!
Huh?
So, would this be more to your liking?
A horse whip?
If you want to whip someone, use something that's well tested.
The pain will let them know that you literally own them like an animal!
W-Will it hurt?
My butt... will never recover.
But... if I refuse even once...
he'll stop giving me my breathers.
This paddle may be light, but it's durable!
Yeah, um... I'm good.
I'm an idiot.
The worst.
I was supposed to think first and foremost about her needs, but...
Rub this on your ass, Nana.
I... was too stupid even to think about my partner.
I'm actually preparing... to get my butt whipped.
This is pretty expensive.
If you want to prevent any scarring, use this.
"You're finally ready to spank your partner."
I rubbed it on.
Nana!
I'm starting!
No!
Don't say that! Say you're sorry!
I'm doing it...
I'm doing it.
I'm doing it!
I... I-I'm sorry!
I-I'm sorry!
Oh, you will be sorry!
That's one.
That hurts!
B-Barehanded?
You want to tower over everyone, right?
Now, wait!
You think you're always right, don't you?
No, I'm not!
You say you work your ass off for others, but it's only for yourself!
You just want to be in the right!
That's not what I want!
Do it. Keep pushing her.
Make her submit!
That hurts! This is too much!
You still don't know why you're getting punished, huh?
It's because I made trouble for everyone, and they got the wrong idea about me.
"They"? So it's all their fault?
Are you blind? Oh, you're a bad girl.
All right. I'll say it! I'm sorry!
You're just apologizing so I'll stop!
No! No, you're wrong!
If you want to prevent any scarring, use this.
If you use your open palm, it'll be easier to control.
You'll be able to feel the pain as well.
The skin on the palm is thinner than on the buttocks.
I... also want to feel the pain.
Are you going to behave?
Then say, "I'm a bad girl."
Bad?
You've never said that once in your life, have you?
The always condescending Nana...
I always order everyone around.
They say you're an annoying bitch!
I can't even say "please."
Remember what a bad girl you are, Nana!
I'm a...
bad girl.
Good!
I wanted everybody to rely on me.
I always wanted my mom to praise me.
But I'm not a good girl at all.
I try to please everyone. It's not fair!
I'm a bad girl!
Damn straight!
I act like a good girl, but I'm not!
I'm not a good girl at all!
I'm a lying...
bad girl!
Even you admit it!
Now keep saying it out loud!
I'm a bad girl!
This cream will bring down the swelling, Nana.
You did great.
I'm the one who knows you best.
How hard you work, how much people rely on you,
and how much people totally love you.
I know it all!
So, there's no need to worry!
This feels... so good.
Right now, I know...
I look like a slut.
Did you transform completely, Nana?
I'm eating!
Good morning, Kaoru!
Time to eat.
This is good.
I can't believe you made this!
I didn't make this. You did, right?
Huh?
What?
Then... who made it?
We're leaving!
Wait, Kaoru!
Is that right?
I thought you were staying at that inn
where Sugimura-kun was working!
Hey, wait!
Crap, they fired me!
So why don't you two go to that spot?
We'll meet up later.
Uh, sure, okay.
I've been sharing the same memories with Nana ever since I was a kid.
And I know the Nana nobody else knows.
We went on a secret trip together. We've had our secret breathers.
There won't be another day like this.
The way I got to be close to her.
The mountain we saw.
The birds flying through the air. I'll remember all of it.
I don't know how long I'll get to be with Nana.
All I do know is that I'm here with her now.
That's good enough, right?
Twenty-seven... twenty-eight... twenty-nine...
Thirty!
Thirty-one... thirty!
Thirty-one... thirty two...
Tomishima-sensei!
After finally finding the man,
she took back her heavenly vestments,
and made her ascent into heaven amidst the cherry blossoms.
This is a mysterious cherry tree.
It's been known to shed its blossoms at the beginning of spring,
and to bloom in the fall.
I guess you could call it blooming out of season.
Maybe that's its way of saying that the maiden has finally made it all the way here.
Here we go!
Hey, Uno-kun, fix that!
Hey, I can't see your face!
There!
I finally made my way here.
I wanted to see for myself what the maiden saw when she soared to heaven.
Last year, around midnight, I saw her sitting right there.
Yeah, whatever!
All right, kids, time to go!
Okay.
Right.
Sugimura-kun, since you were fired, you need a place to sleep tonight, don't you?
Sorry, but could you guys go on ahead?
We want to do one last thing for this project.
You got it.
Let's head back.
Come on, let's go!
Hey, what's going on?
I want to take a picture of the heavenly maiden's last scene.
This is where the woman gets tied up and ascends to heaven.
What?
If we have a secret picture that no one will ever see...
wouldn't that be a thrill?
No one's going to come by.
Now, let's do this.
I'm... not normal.
I'm choosing... the thrill.
I'm going to satisfy you, Nana.
No, I mean...
I'll make sure nothing normal will ever satisfy you again.
It was fun. Sorry we couldn't spend more time with all of you.
Thank you for everything.
I still envy you city kids.
I'm going to college in the city!
Well, heal your leg first.
I almost forgot!
There's an epilogue to the Legend of the Heavenly Maiden.
People get lost in the mountains and arrive at an empty house.
They see that it's not abandoned, but there's no one around.
If they rest there and leave with a silk thread they found, they will find fortune.
But if they try to go back to that house again, they can't find it,
because they say that's the house the heavenly maiden lived in.
That's the story of the Wandering House of Sarashina.
Of Sarashina?
Maybe the house where you guys spent the night was the Wandering House?
Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!
Now then, I will begin my lecture.
Are you ready?
Spanking the buttocks isn't rocket science.
When you spank, you target the inner part of the body, or the uterus,
because you want to give the female body a jolt.
You're giving words to an open and exposed part of the body.
That is what spanking is all about.
At any rate, Nana's and my secret breathers are still continuing.
Nana, were you able to take a long breather?
Yeah, I sure did.
I wish I could take a breather.
Nana may think of me as a harmless little tool that gives her a thrill.
Mr. President, if you have time, do want to hang out with us?
Ch-Chigusa-san! I'd like that!
All right! When? When should we do it?
Well, I can live with that.
All right!
So this is the picture Tomishima-sensei sent us?
Wow, that place is beautiful!
Wh...
What?
"The woman who becomes a child with each chastisement, Nanayo."
"The man who bears the pain in his palm while striking the woman's rear, Kunihiko"?
What the hell is this?
"A ribald tale in which two youths awaken to the joys of S&M in a cottage in Shinshuu."
"Sarashina Shuutarou's sanctum/playroom"?
Sarashina's Wandering House?
Huh?
What's wrong?
"Finally Kunihiko took Nanayo outside."
"He began tying her to a cherry tree in full bloom."
She wants it!
She wants it bad!
"Finally the pure woman was transformed into the fallen heavenly maiden."
"Then, the slave that is the heavenly maiden moaned in pure ecstasy."
I'm... I'm dying!
Wait. Did he see us while we were there?
Where?
What part are you taking?
The heavenly maiden!
The heavenly maiden is trembling!
My body is saying something.
It's saying, "I'm a pervert!"
I get it.
Go on. Take a look!
It's blooming out of season!
I'm...
going to heaven.
Nana is going to leave me someday.
God, Kaoru.
You should know by now.
Until that happens, I'll keep giving you your breathers.
I'm just like you, Kaoru.
A complete pervert.
If I were to fly through the sky one more time,
where would I take you?
If all your wishes were to come true, what would we do?
We wake up from our dream and take a silly walk across the darkening town.
Then we wave our hands goodbye.
The pendulum swings as the days go by.
I can't say "I love you" or "I want you."
Those are exaggerated vows of love, but I wish I could
convey my mixed up feeling to you.
We're finally at the end of this world.
That I already know.
What we wish for is a small sign
that's at least five centimeters in length.
Just saying I'm happy or sad doesn't convey a thing.
I only hope that we'll be able to understand
our complicated feelings.
The weather report is saying again
that the rain will end before dawn.
But what we want to know now
is what will happen the day after tomorrow.
Our very own future.
