Nase is a word that my generation would have translated as 'spiffy' or 'keen' or 'cool.' One feels an idiot reading a work entitled Spiffy. It's advertised as S&M. S&M to the Japanese means bondage, OK? So what this is about is a mute guy all tied up in bandages who gets screwed by someone else- not the guy who's in love with him, who only watches- to expiate some obscure crime of his own. No I'm not going to tell you what it was. It doesn't matter. The story only happens so Dr.Ten can draw many many many panels of a guy tied up in bandages and yelling with the witless expression that djkas give characters at the moment of orgasm.

The second story, as the afterword tells you, is set in the mid 1920's. Frankly when people wear kimono it could be set any time and how would you know? Tiny plot wrinkle, taken absolutely nowhere, is that the mysterious owner of the mansion our hero comes to work for is a guy who dresses as a woman, and he has a sister who appears for two pages and then vanishes, who dresses like a man, cause that's how their father raised them. Master starts screwing servant- well, makes poor put-upon servant screw him- and so we have master tied up in ripped up bedsheets by the looks of it and yelling with the witless expression djka give characters at the moment of orgasm. In spite of being tied up master still manages to uke-rape suffering servant who also has the witless expression etc etc. At least no-one blows bubbles out of their mouths in this one.

yelling and witless

And finally there's a short shota piece. Kid goes to park at night, hoping for adventure. Kid meets who-knows-what in process of stabbing other guy. Who-knows-what (psycho? paid killer? vampire?) is blond with many piercings and promises to fulfill kid's wishes. Kid brings him home to his empty apartment. Who-knows-what says kid wants to die and he'll be happy to give him his death- just a little. Follows several pages of kid yelling with the witless expression that djkas give characters at the moment of orgasm. The end
