This is a very silly, fairly crudely-drawn tale of Pon-tarou, a young tanuki (racoon dog) out on a stroll on his own. His mother told him that it's ok to wander away from the house to play, just stay away from humans. Unfortunately, Pon forgets her warning, and eventually discovers a hot tub in the middle of a field. He crawls inside and enjoys a hot bath, until the old man that built the tub comes along. Pon remembers his mother's words, and tries to shapeshift. However, he's never been able to shift before, so the best he can do now is turn into a fish. The old man gets into the tub and after a while starts noticing a tickling. Since fish are not commonly found in hot tubs, he becomes curious and tries to catch it. Pon is overcome by the heat and stress, and reverts to tanuki form. The old man is amazed by this, but Pon is sweating so heavily, he throws the creature away. Pon recovers and runs happily back home to tell his mother than he can shapeshift now.
Masuzou Furukawa (1950-) is notable, if for no other reason, for having founded the Mandarake used bookstore chain, with the first shop opening on the second floor of the Broadway department store in Nakano (west of Shinjuku a few miles) in 1980. "Field Bath" was his debut work, and shortly afterward he joined Mizuki Pro in July, 1970, as an assistant artist. He worked various part-time jobs to supplement his income as an artist from roughly 1971 to 1980, which included a stint at another bookstore, which prompted him to open Mandarake. Various sources, including Anime News Network, identify Furukawa as one of Garo's "1-2-3" artists of the '70s and '80s, along with Oji Suzuki and Shin'ichi Abe (supposedly the second syllable of each artist's name sounds like "one", "two" and "three" when taken in order). We'll see Furukawa show up again in July, 1971, with "Violet Legend".
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
very tender. He likes to take a bath with his partner to unwind and make sure they're okay and enjoyed themself. He makes sure to bring them a glass of water or juice too.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
On himself, arms.
On others regardless of gender, asses and hips.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
Noburo is a sucker for the risk factor of a creampie. He probably has several children out there somewhere.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
He won't do it with just anyone because it's a pretty big show of vulnerability, but for the lucky few Noburo would love to tie himself up with his ribbon abilities and submit. So far the only lucky partners have been Rayleigh and Shakky.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
Very experienced. Noburo has had a lot of practice and knows just how to get someone whimpering under his hands.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
Doggy. He loves a good ass, after all.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
Usually serious and sensual, but Noburo doesn't mind a little humor.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
Noburo keeps everything neatly trimmed
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
Very intimate and romantic, but whether he's fully revealing his heart is the big question. (usually no)
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
Noburo has enough friends with benefits in enough ports that he really doesn't need to masturbate that often these days.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
Shibari. Cockwarming. Temperature play.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
A bed, preferably. He's in his 70s, after all.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
Bending over in front of him because you "dropped" something gets him every single time.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
Seastone is a no-go. There's always the risk of being turned in to the Marines, and he'd rather not have it happen while he's naked.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
Noburo prefers to receive, but he's happy to reciprocate, and he's had plenty of practice so he knows what he's doing.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
Slow and sensual for the most part. When he was younger he could go fast and rough, but he tries to stick to the persona of a gentleman both in and out of the bedroom.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
He prefers to take his time and savor his partners, but he won't turn down a quick blowjob if it's offered.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
Noburo carefully calculates each risk before agreeing to it. He's tried a lot of kinks, toys, and positions over his life and knows what he likes, but he'll still try something again if a partner wants to.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
2 orgasms in a night are enough for the old man. If you haven't worn him out completely after that, he'll still offer his fingers and mouth to make sure his partner is satisfied.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
Oh sure, he's got a decent little collection going. Mostly to use on partners though.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
A decent amount. It's fun to tease and make a partner desperate, but Noburo always follows through to satisfy them in the end.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
Typically just quiet moans, pants, etc. It is possible to really make the old man whimper if you take control, but he has to really trust you for that.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
This guy is a dirty talker for sure. Never derogatory, just descriptive.
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
Time has been relatively kind to Noburo. He's on the lean side, and his muscles aren't terribly pronounced since he's never been a fighter, but he still looks quite good for his age. There has, admittedly, been some shrinkage, as happens to all men as they age. Erect, he's about 5 inches. He knows how to use it.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
Not nearly as high as it used to be, certainly. Noburo enjoys sex once or twice a week, but it doesn't bother him to go longer.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
There's plenty of time for a bath and a chat, a glass of water and making sure all is well with his partner.
sending well wishes to you and your wife ✨
i was curious to hear more about Noburo's ribbon-ribbon fruit or anything else you'd like to share about Noburo. i do love a gentleman thief 😊
Oh, he's quick to tell you he's retired from that sort of thing, just a humble bookkeeper these days, but if he sees a pretty woman wearing an honest man's yearly salary in gems he can't help but schmooze and consider jumping right back in.
Noburo was active during the Golden Age of piracy and even played cards with Gol D. Roger and his crew every once in a while.
The ribbon-ribbon fruit is terribly useful, especially for a thief. He can use it to flatten himself and slip under a door or through a crack in the wall, hide under furniture to eavesdrop.
However. The uh. The awakened form. It's terribly embarrassing, you see. He spent so much time training and honing his abilities, hard work over decades of his life. And in the end, it gives him a stupid magical girl transformation. (Yes, he was created solely for this joke, and developed further from there). It's embarrassing for a man of any age, but for a dapper gentleman in his 70s, well, it ruins his image.
Noburo was never the fighting type in the first place, but especially not at his current age. The most he'll do is use his abilities to tie someone up. (Though he'll give the *threat* of strangulation as well)
