@AToastyCoyote probably because that was an OT3, not a couple like you are asking.

Makes sense this is canon, we had the OT3 in IBO.

moar latex yuri BDSM pls.

Well, Imitatio clearly knows jack and shit about psychology, and Utena's in particular. Utena is literally willing to let herself be a stepping stone for magical girls to rise up; it's only due to Venalita she went berserk. At heart, despite being kinky, Utena's a good person, and Imitatio can't seem to understand that.

That said, funny how her power is "potions" AKA messing with endorphins and sensation play. Yet another aspect of BDSM.

EMBRACE THOSE FEELINGS YOU USELESS-

right.....She's using this as pretext to get with her crush. Also, being a top. lol.

kinksters gotta kink.

@FluffyCow wait til you learn about pony play.

wow, effective threat of continuous teasing and denial.

m....mommy?

#3. Why bondage play?

Why, because it's fun, obviously!
Also: why not?

Also, a lot of people with kinks have issues with them, and find freedom in being 'forced' to enjoy the things they would like. It's just in this comic's case, you can literally see the enjoyment externally lol

i once played a version of Bondage Monopoly. Where you could pay fines or debts with being restrained instead of having to mortgage properties. i still lost the game, but wound up really restrained, so i figured i also won....

whaddaya know, she is a masochist, chasing endorphin highs. Just not a traditional definition masochist, where pain is the key to unlocking that.

literally out with a bang?

Ngl it feels limiting for the characters to be kids. Like I just wonder why they keep making such big stories with preteens. I've been enjoying it but the longer this goes the more they feel like they're 17 or 18 lol

I think they are about 16-17( apart from Alice).

They're middle schoolers.

Standard Manga Character Age™

Standard Japanese story age. Because an adult is too old to be the lead in RPGs, for example.

it went full on Toku, from KR to Sentai.

@AToastyCoyote spiked breather masks are common in things like cybergoth culture.

btw, suggested BDSM tag for the cuffs and pelvic harness.

Cute but the racial slur title gave me whiplash

What ?

See the credits page. tl;dr Japan apparently remembers the book in question as a fun cautionary tale while most Western audiences aren't able to seperate the book from the controversial illustrations that often accompanied it.

I think it had gone way past just being about the illustrations decades ago. In fact I think just the title itself has been considered a racial slur since at least as far back as the 60's.

Yeah, it still gets referenced a lot in Japanese media. Danganronpa uses it for an execution in the first game.

Speaking of which, Magenta's transformation was really kinda unusual. It doesn't seem BDSM-y at all--honestly, it seems kind of vanilla. Which, come to think of it, might be the point. But there's not really enough material here for an analysis IMO.

Magenta's transformation feels like aftercare. Where you make sure everything's alright, comfort in case of emotional imbalance, etc. As for Baiser....black roses is a common symbol of kink. The local group in DC is in fact called The Black Rose. The fact that roses are beautiful, but can have thorns, has them being a common symbol; THE beginner manual from the 90s on is called "Screw the Roses, Send me the Thorns".

needs BDSM tag.

Hey, let's not forget that this is the same Magenta who gave us this.

This actually supports my idea; Magenta's totally cool with the idea until Baiser reminds her about the whole "learned values/morals" idea about showing your body off, at which point she starts to turn red.

Part of me thinks the 3 girls represent 3 different methods of submission. There's the confrontational, like the brat or the SAM (smart-assed masochist), which would fit Sulfur. There's the eager submissive, akin to Azul. And Magenta reads as the one in denial. Having desires but not feeling able to express them. That type of mentality is why a lot of people comment about feeling 'free' in bondage and restraints; they don't have to be a "good girl" and operate off of the learned social and personal values they were raised with. They aren't "responsible" for what happens. They can just be free to experience, without guilt.

shame 21 and 22 are in reverse order on the site.

It's the first one where we see threats of long-term damage with a "nipple torn off". I doubt that could happen from clothes pins, but it was another level of threat than what we've seen before.

Yeah, um, as someone who HAS done nipple play like this, her nipple wouldn't be torn off. There are lots of things like doing a "zipline" of clamps, and yanking them off with a rope in order. The shock factor comes more from the fact that the compressed skin gets restored full blood flow, refreshing the pain again. She wouldn't get her nipples "torn off" at all.

That said, this chapter had me laughing in stitches until i couldn't breathe.
