Summary[]

Ran finally gets her chance to give Ataru her kiss of death!

Plot Overview[]

One day at Tomobiki High, Ran manages to ambush Lum and leave her tied up in a gym storage room. She immediately goes in search of Ataru, and ultimately finds him in the nurse's office, sick with a sore throat. She tries repeatedly to get her deadly kiss with Ataru, but finds herself being accidentally thwarted by Sakura, who is set on protecting Ran's virtue. Ataru, meanwhile, vacillates between trying to kiss Ran, fondling Sakura, and trying to get his hands on some medicine for his sore throat. In the end, Ran does manage to kiss Ataru... but to her shock, it seems to have no effect. Luckily for Ataru, he had unwittingly drunk Cherry's experimental youth potion beforehand.

Trivia[]

  • The position Ran has Lum bound in on the title page is known as a hogtie. Although it is a legitimate means of securing a person or animal, it's widely known for its use in sexual bondage, thus playing into Ran's sadistic personality.
  • Ataru suffering a nosebleed after Ran whispers to him that she wants him to give her water via mouth-to-mouth is a visual shorthand for him being aroused by the idea.
