You old bat, I-
Nana?
Kaoru?
Kaoru!
Nana to Kaoru
Hey, lemme see that!
Oh, this one's pimp.
Come on, what about this one?
My name's Sugimura Kaoru, age 17.
A virgin heading nowhere fast.
Where did you get this?
I'm into S&M.
Well, at least in my imagination,
because I don't know anyone who'll wear it.
Why aren't you studying?
Who asked you to come in?
Hey.
You wanna get in on this?
They say if you order ten, you'll get one free.
More indie porn? Are you ever gonna upgrade?
You want in, Kaoru? Look, they got S&M.
Sorry, but I'm broke.
Jesus, you're overdoing it!
Speaking of porn videos, remember that time in the music room?
Now, I happened to come across these.
We were discussing where to get this year's Ero-1,
when the Vice President of the Student Council swung by.
She gave us this look like she'd stepped in something nasty.
The boys in Class F make me sick.
Yeah, but that look still gave me a major hard-on!
I know. I wish she'd bitch at me looking like that!
I hear you.
Chigusa Nana.
A girl so out of my league it's not even funny.
She lives next door in my apartment complex.
Our mothers are close.
I've known her since grade school.
Hey, you two!
Not only is she the Vice President,
but the first years on the track and field team love her.
What are you doing in your outdoor shoes?
Change into your indoor shoes!
And plus...
she's hot.
Kaoru...
Are you okay?
N-Never mind me!
Why the hell did you put that on?!
One thing...
One thing led to another!
So you came to show me?
No way!
I can't take it off.
Actually...
Today...
Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've seen Nana so insecure.
I haven't talked to her outside of school in years.
I'm not really in the mood for remedial class.
Wanna skip?
It's not like I'm going to college anyway.
Well, I want to.
Any college, in fact.
There'll be girls coming in from the sticks, right?
Yeah.
I hear they're pretty easy.
I see.
Then I guess we should go.
I'm heading home.
You got plans?
Yeah, work.
So, no remedials for you then?
Thanks for everything today.
No, thank you.
I'll see you!
Yeah, good job out there!
Bye bye, Kaoru!
Right.
Huh?
Are you shrinking, Kaoru?
Of course not!
You used to come up to my chin.
Since when?
I'm taller than you now!
Oh, you were just hunched over.
Walk around with more confidence!
Mind your own business.
Chigusa-senpai, are you two friends?
What's your problem?
That was Creepymura, right?
No, Sugimura.
Oh, Chigusa-san, are you done with practice?
Would you come by my office?
Sure. I'll be there once the Student Council meeting is over.
Oh, I'll see you then.
Student Council Room
Sorry for being late!
It's all right.
Besides, you must be tired from pulling double-duty with sports.
I'm fine!
Here are the documents.
All right, let's get this over with.
Sports Festival Decision Making Meeting
Results of the student-body survey
1st Soccer
2nd Volleyball
3rd Basketball
4th Baseball
5th Tennis
I'd like to select the events for the intramural sports tournament
based on the results of the survey conducted last week.
Soccer came in first, volleyball came in second,
basketball came in third, baseball came in fourth...
Sorry, I didn't get much sleep.
You look pretty tired.
Should I walk you home?
It's no big deal. I'm fine.
I've written today's agenda over here.
I guess my grades did drop.
m 482 387 l 493 89 557 89 540 384 c
A Kids 110 Shelter
I'm afraid so.
But you put a lot of effort into the track team and the Student Council, correct?
Don't you think these grades are good, considering the circumstances?
I want to do my best during my second year.
Chigusa-san, how about aiming for a lower-ranked college,
and studying literature instead of getting a law degree?
No.
It's my dream.
I'll just try harder.
Chigusa-san, you've been stressed out for a while, haven't you?
Perhaps your performance would improve if you found a way to take a breather.
Do you have any hobbies?
Is there anything you do for fun that makes you forget about everything?
Give it a try!
Even if you think it's stupid, at least try it out, okay?
Ah, Nana-chan!
Welcome home!
Good evening!
Are you leaving for work, Auntie?
Yeah.
They've had me on the night shift a lot this month.
All that stuff must give you a lot of trouble.
I almost forgot, Nana-chan.
Could you help me out a little?
What do you need?
Kaoru's been collecting a bunch of weird toys,
and he never finds time to study.
So, I thought I should hide them.
But that boy will find them if I hide them in our place.
You'd be doing me a huge favor by taking this with you.
Thank you very much.
Sure.
Thank goodness.
I'm home.
So she's not back.
I guess I'm eating alone tonight.
Isn't there anything I can do as a breather?
I wonder what everyone else does?
Yukari?
FROM: Yukari. SUBJECT: Yay! MSG: Yagami bought me ice cream, yay!
I guess romance can provide a breather.
I'm fucked.
She broke into my room and cleaned it up!
Oh, hell no.
You'll get it back once you hit the books.
That old bitch!
You know how much I paid for that!
No way.
There's no possible way.
This is his thing?
Do people...
actually wear this?
Give it a try, even if it's dumb, huh?
It fits perfectly.
Ah, Christ, she only left the key!
She's back?
You old bat, I-
Nana?
I want...
to see even more of her expressions.
I never thought it would have a lock.
I'm scared I'll never be able to take it off.
Thank you!
Give it to me!
Is this how you ask for something?
Sorry.
Besides, you were the one who decided to wear my stuff in the first place!
You invade my privacy, use me, abuse me... What the hell do you think I am?
I'm a total creep anyway, right?
I bet you think I'm your punching bag.
I apologize.
Will you please...
let me have the key?
She's submitting.
You can have it.
I'll give it to you.
Just a sec.
I just wanted a glimpse.
I wanted to see somebody actually wearing it.
Since you're here and all.
No way.
Just a glimpse, all right?
Your skin... It's so white.
Black bondage gear looks pretty good on you.
D-Don't!
Don't hide anything.
Put your hands behind your head.
Let me have a good look.
Eh?
So...
How does it feel?
It's tight.
It hurts, and it's pinching me.
Yeah, you've really filled out.
Nana...
Ew!
Don't be gross.
He's looking.
He's looking... everywhere.
This is humiliating.
My heart's pounding.
Turn around.
Don't move.
Stay still.
No touching.
What are you looking at?
Well...
He's keeping his promise not to touch.
But if he does touch me...
Her...
Her ass...
is trembling.
What if...
Nana...
Don't touch me.
Oh God, I can't calm down.
My heart's beating like crazy.
She wants it!
Is she waiting for it?
It's now or never.
This is my only chance... to touch Nana!
At some point...
Nana became distant from me.
We never get together anymore.
Don't touch me.
Please don't touch me.
Na...
Nana!
No!
Am I going to be like this forever?
Gah! The strap's thicker than I thought!
We need to pull the leather apart.
A-Are you sure?
Wasn't this expensive?
I don't care.
It's not like we have a choice.
I'm still throbbing.
FROM: Mom. SUBJ: NONE. MSG: I won't be coming home. Good luck with your studies.
I'm spent.
I'm going to sleep.
I let her off because she started crying.
I guess I'm too soft to be a sadist.
But Nana...
The way she squealed.
What's the matter, Kaoru? Where's your ambition?
You know what you got on your midterms, right?
Whatever!
His mom found his porn stash, right?
That's gotta be tough.
Guess again!
Chigusa-senpai!
Would you help me train?
Sure, do your best.
Okay!
It's been a week since that incident.
Nana's perked up quite a bit.
It's like that night never happened.
Chigusa-san!
You got the top score in class A on the midterms.
How are you feeling?
I'm not tired anymore. I feel great!
Did you find a good way to take a breather?
A breather?
I knew you'd be up here.
Why do you always come here?
You stare down at the courtyard a lot, right?
No, I don't.
Anyway, what do you want?
Well...
I did make you destroy that suit. I'm sorry.
Don't sweat it. I got carried away, too.
You know, I went straight to sleep right after that.
And I think I know why.
I also got my grades back up.
I think that may have been a breather.
Don't get me wrong.
I didn't like being touched, and it wasn't a turn-on.
Still...
It did feel kinda good.
So you're saying-
I was just kidding. Got it?
Don't tell anyone about this.
See ya.
Current Status Of The Sports Festival
Sports Events Finalized
Soccer / Basketball
Status of Participants Lists
All Classes
Tournament Grounds finalized
Tournament Progam Finalized
Important Points
of the Tournament
I would like to discuss
the class participation lists for the Sports Festival.
We have a class that's overdue in turning in its list.
Which class is it?
Class 2-F.
Those guys are hopeless!
Those boys have nothing but dirty thoughts on their mind.
Mutsuki-san...
Oh, or so I've heard!
Yesterday's DVD was seriously wet.
True story, the director's doing her on the side.
Serious?
Those flabs were hot.
Whoa, there.
Guys!
Is this all that's left of Class F?
What is it?
I'm from the Student Council,
and you guys haven't given us your list of participants.
Screw that!
We're not showing up anyway.
Yes you are! Everybody has to!
Don't make this a hassle.
Zip it, Ugly.
We can just abstain.
Oh, how rude!
Class F is so stupid!
Sorry, guys, but the school rules say everybody has to participate.
You can abstain during the actual games, but you'll have to give an official excuse in writing.
The dreaded Vice President.
Discipline me.
No-no-no-no-no!
Come on, keep at it!
But first, a bathroom break.
Hurry up and finish!
Or else I can't take your plate.
You should really think about studying sometimes.
Otherwise, that's all you're going to be doing in your room.
Is there a mother less subtle than mine out there?
I'm going.
Wait, take the trash with you!
No way!
You know what I'm capable of, don't you?
Don't start with me!
Sarashina Shuutarou. Author's Edition. SM - The Complete Volume
A breather, huh?
I want one too!
Damn it.
Kaoru, are you just getting back?
Yeah.
Say, Kaoru...
Did you buy anything... after that?
What?
Why do you care?
You don't need another breather, do you?
What if...
I said...
I want you to do more of that to me?
I-If you want a breather, you can always try video games, you know!
Nana actually trusts me!
Hell, she's soliciting me!
I'm gonna have such a nasty dream tonight!
It's tightening all around me.
Tightening where?
It's squeezing...
my breasts...
and my lower body.
It feels great.
It's turning you on.
Make it...
tighter.
Oh God.
What was I...?
That's it. I'm not doing that.
You'll be on break starting tomorrow,
so please take care not to get arrested.
I sure as hell won't bail you out.
Also...
have you guys submitted your list of participants for the Sports Festival?
Geez...
The other teachers have been giving me lip.
Do I give a damn?
You bet your ass you do.
Hey, Sugimura.
Quit dozing off.
You're gonna take it to the Student Council. Plus...
you have remedial classes throughout the break.
You've got remedials!
Hey!
You're dismissed!
Thanks a lot.
Thank you.
Once we get Class F's, then we can print it out!
Who wants to go to the meeting regarding the municipal playing field?
Oh, I will!
How about you, Chigusa-san?
Thanks, but I'll wait here.
Oh.
Come on. Let's go!
Sorry for being late.
You're so tired that you need a nap?
You work too hard.
You haven't changed a bit.
I guess you do need another breather, Nana.
You wanted one, right?
A breather.
Yeah.
Still, I don't think it's right.
But you enjoy the thrill, right?
Your collar.
You can walk around while wearing it.
You'll be wearing it on the way home.
And I'll be holding the leash.
Just so you know, you're always free to say no.
Besides, we're only doing this because you want it.
Go ahead.
Put it on.
Nana.
So I put this on...
and walk around outside?
It's like I'm...
...a complete pervert.
If I put this on...
And once you put it on, you'll obey all of my orders.
I'll no longer be my normal self.
The person everyone expects me to be.
I'll become a bad girl.
My very own...
secret.
I'm...
a pervert now.
Chigusa-san?
You're still here?
I was doing Student Council stuff and lost track of time.
I see. It must be tough.
Oh?
Well...
How nice!
Is this muffler season?
Anyway, don't work too hard.
Goodbye.
So, how does the collar feel?
More uncomfortable than I'd imagined.
It's squeezing my neck a little,
and it kinda hurts.
Nana.
It's time to...
go without that muffler.
Huh?
No!
You do as I say when you wear the collar.
Someone will see me!
I'll be right here!
It'll be fine.
So...
are you getting a thrill?
Yeah.
I am.
You're too far away!
Shut up!
Put your hands behind your back.
Walk like a model.
We're gonna show off that collar.
Huh?
Lift up your chin!
Like this?
Getting nervous?
Or maybe... excited?
Keep it down!
I bet no one could ever imagine that you'd be walking around wearing a collar.
How do you feel?
Does it still hurt?
Yeah.
It stings, and it's chafing my neck.
Really?
Do we need to adjust it?
How do you feel?
Scared. Embarrassed.
Still...
something feels familiar.
We used to walk along this path as kids.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe it's a sense of relief.
It's our own little secret.
Nana, you've become a real bad girl.
We're done, Nana.
Thank God.
You did really well.
I'm proud of you.
"Praise people whenever they do well."
That's...
what the S&M guru, Sarashina-sensei, tells us.
This is where...
we used to go for festivals, right?
Yeah.
Hey, can I take it off?
Nana.
You still aren't satisfied, are you?
Huh? Of course I am!
My heart's racing as we speak!
You're lying.
Your face says you want to be abused even more.
No, you're the one who's lying.
Over here.
Huh? Isn't this the men's bathroom?
Never mind that! Come on!
The baseball team comes in here a lot during practice.
You know how they stink of sweat?
Plus, they always horse around with their dicks out.
Their di-
Take off the muffler.
I'll take it.
I'll be on the lookout.
Lift up your skirt.
Huh?
I-If you don't do it, I won't let you out.
I can't.
You know, Nana,
every guy at our school has his eye on you.
Don't you feel their stares?
They all fantasize about your panties at least once during gym or swimming class.
Huh?
Guys who use this restroom are al-
always jerking off to you.
That's why this place smells so bad.
It's their sweat mixed with piss and se... semen.
What's wrong?
Your face is beet red.
Don't look at me!
Do it now.
Lift up your skirt and show them.
Everyone wants to see you.
Jerk.
You're such a jerk.
Everyone is watching.
It's agonizing.
This is what you asked for to begin with.
I'm doing...
something I shouldn't do.
They're looking.
God, I'm tired!
You're so full of energy, Chigusa-san. I love your smile.
I had a good night's rest and got rid of my stress.
Would you tell me your trick?
Nope, it's a secret!
Hey, why don't we go somewhere for cake?
Oh, sorry. I'm eating out with my family today.
Ah, Kaoru!
Oh.
I mean, your remedial classes!
Good luck with those, because we're from the same middle school.
Oh yeah, wanna get some tea?
What? With Creepymura?
Oh, let me join you guys. I still have time.
Hell, no.
You guys will probably just gossip about celebrity romances and shit!
Ugly.
What the heck! All you guys think about is porn!
Hey, Mutsuki-san!
Why did you have to tag along with Nana and come to this school?
You're ruining our reputation!
Quit your yapping.
Honor students should hang out with each other anyway!
Let's see, cucumbers...
Oh, sleeper fish? Yes, please.
Can you put it in for me? Yes, thanks.
Auntie?
Hello!
Oh, why hello!
Were you at school, Nana-chan?
Yup, I had Student Council work to do.
That's very impressive.
As soon as he comes home, my Kaoru locks himself in his room to do God-knows-what.
I really wish he'd use that time to study.
Oh, sorry!
That sleeper fish was two hundred yen, right?
I wonder why Kaoru has such a hard time studying.
He was like that even before high school.
Well, I can tell you he's never really been that bright.
But...
But?
Back in ninth grade, he said he wanted to study for the Sakuramizo High School entrance exam.
His teachers were all against it, though.
He studied so hard that even I started to worry.
He was put on the waiting list, but he managed to get accepted.
Why did he put in so much effort?
He really wanted to be in the same school as you.
Huh?
Don't tell Kaoru, or he'll get mad.
Fireworks and Music Festival
Thanks. You really helped me out.
You're welcome.
Is Kaoru home?
I'm home! Kaoru?!
Nana-chan is here to visit!
What do you mean by "here to visit"?
Oh.
What?
Were you studying?
Like hell I'd be studying.
Hey, you wanna go see the fireworks?
What's gotten into you?
Kaoru, why'd you decide to go to Sakuramizo High?
Huh?
No reason.
Maybe it's because...
What? I chose it because it's close by.
Say...
Wanna get some oden?
Your treat.
What?
Fine.
You're in a good mood, Nana.
Yep. It's all thanks to you.
I guess you found a good way to relieve your stress.
It's not just the relief.
Whenever I see you and your mom getting along so well,
I smile and think, "That looks like fun."
Me and that old lady don't get along!
My mom doesn't come home very often.
Am I bothering you?
Or maybe... you hate me?
N-No, uh...
No, you're not!
I was kidding!
You're giving your childhood friend a breather.
What the hell?
Have you been stressed out lately?
Maybe.
But when it comes to our breathers,
I think I do need them.
Should we go?
Hold that thought. I need to use the restroom.
Nana!
What?
Can you... hold it for a little while?
Sign: 21st Annual Sakuramizo High School Sports Festival
Kaoru, would you hurry up?
We're almost there.
Isn't this the field for tomorrow's Sports Festival?
We're here.
This looks like a good spot.
What do you mean?
You still don't get it, Nana?
No, I don't.
You're gonna do it right here.
Nana...
I can't do that outside!
Fine, go use the restroom.
But that'll be it for our breathers.
I said it before. I'm not forcing you do anything.
It's your decision.
But, this is too...
I guess you're not the type of girl who'd take a piss in a place like this as a breather.
If you aren't, then it's cool.
I've already...
seen sides of you...
that no one else has ever seen.
Oh, no! I can't!
My legs are shaking. I can't stop it!
I don't know what to do!
She's submitting.
She's... not sure what to do.
It'll be fine.
I'll look the other way.
I'll keep watch. I won't let anything happen to you, Nana.
Believe me.
Now, take off your underwear.
My fingers are shaking.
Calm down.
You can do it, Nana.
About to burst?
I can't.
They're looking.
Relieving yourself...
is a very personal act.
From your birth to your death, you're taught to hide it.
If you try to break the rules about relieving yourself as an adult,
strangely enough, your body stops you.
That's also what Sarashina-sensei wrote.
If a completely straight arrow like you...
is able to break that taboo...
Kaoru...
Hold my hand.
Don't look!
Okay!
It's hopeless. I can't!
It's because... because...
Why?
Because you're going to smell...
my pee!
Should I step back?
No!
If you let go,
I won't be able to do it.
Give me your left hand.
Come on.
It won't smell.
Even so, I'm not going to mind!
Because...
it's yours.
That...
felt good.
She did it.
You did great!
That's my girl!
I'm glad you think so.
You're awesome!
Just awesome!
Something's squealing inside me.
Sign: 21st Annual Sakuramizo High School Sports Festival
That's how Nana and I began our breathers.
Every one of Nana's expressions is lovely,
and it's going to take a lot of work to draw them out.
