"Nose Wide Shut" (ノーズ・ワイド・シャット, Nōzu Waido Shatto) is the third chapter of the Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt manga.
Synopsis[]
Panty and Stocking visit a release party for a new perfume, not realizing that the perfume would put nearly everyone in a trance.
Plot[]
The chapter begins with Stocking asking Panty if the mailman delivered their mail, only to find Panty and the mailman having sex in her room. Upon seeing this, Stocking is upset because she is expecting a package, so the mailman tosses the package to Stocking.
After Panty and the mailman finish having sex, Panty walks up to Stocking and asks what is in the package. Stocking tells Panty to take a bath since she stinks, and Panty sniffs herself and realizes that Stocking is right.
Despite this, she continues to ask what's inside the package until Stocking reveals that it's a sample of a new perfume from Woniawski and an invitation to the release party. Panty wants to use it, but Stocking refuses to let her unless she goes to the party with Stocking and showers, so Panty complies.
At the party, all of the guests are greeted by Mr. Woniawski, whom Panty compares to a "perverted clown". She then looks at another guy who she finds attractive and walks over to him in an attempt to have sex with him. As Stocking asks where Panty went, Mr. Woniawski gives Stocking a squirt of his new perfume because he states it was created to compliment beautiful girls like her.
The perfume makes Stocking and everyone in the crowd fall into a trance, and Mr. Woniawski turns into his ghost form, named Fatty Skatole. Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Panty squirts the new perfume in her crotch before having sex with the man, but it causes the man to throw up and pass out. Panty asks why she stinks so badly, when suddenly, Garterbelt yells out from a nearby stall and reveals that it was the result of ghost activity.
He tells Panty to fight Fatty Skatole with Backlace and Stocking's fishnets. Panty puts the perfume bottle in Stocking's stockings and throws them at Stocking, which snaps her out of Fatty Skatole's trance and makes her realize that the perfume smells terrible. She and everyone in the crowd begin vomiting, and Stocking transforms her stockings into katanas to kill Fatty Skatole.
Garterbelt walks out of the bathroom and talks to the sisters about why the perfume smelled so good. Stocking asks if they could dilute vomit to make perfume since some people are into vomit. Panty also remarks that it always takes her and Stocking less than a page to kill ghosts, and states that their stories are getting ridiculous.
Stocking asks if there is a line separating angels and demons, to which Garterbelt replies that there is no line with the Anarchy Sisters since Heaven doesn't want them and Hell is afraid that they may lower their property values.

Trivia[]
- The chapter explains why Panty and Stocking are neither in Heaven nor Hell, although it is unknown if it is canon because this manga series takes place in an alternate universe from the anime.
- The fourth wall is broken when Panty notices that this is the third chapter in a row that involves puke and that they only get less than a page to fight the ghosts. Garterbelt then notes that it took two pages to have sex with the mailman. Stocking also says that their stories are ridiculous.
- This chapter shares a similar plot to the anime episode, "Raiders of the Nasal Dark". Both plots revolve around Panty and Stocking being invited to a celebrity's party, only to find out that the celebrity is a Ghost who planned to control people through their noses and lead them to their demise.
Cultural references[]
- The chapter's title is a reference to the 1999 American drama film Eyes Wide Shut.
