“Sundome” is a unique and thought-provoking manga that tells the story of a high school boy named Hideo Aiba, who joins the school's “Roman Club” and falls in love with the new transfer student, Kurumi Sahana. The manga explores themes of love, obsession, and power dynamics, and has been described as a dark romance.
The plot revolves around Hideo's masochistic relationship with Kurumi, who denies him sexual gratification and exerts control over his every move. The manga delves deep into the characters' psyches, exploring their motivations, fears, and desires, and the complex dynamic between them.
One of the strengths of “Sundome” is its character ... development. The main characters are fleshed out with unique personalities, backstories, and quirks, and their interactions feel realistic and nuanced. The manga also touches on broader themes such as the pressure to conform, the difficulty of finding one's place in the world, and the search for meaning and purpose.
However, it should be noted that “Sundome” is really close to contain explicit sexual content, as well as themes of BDSM, domination, and submission, which may not be suitable for all readers. Additionally, the ending has been controversial, with some readers finding it satisfying and others feeling that it undermines the message of the story.

This is one of those smutty mangas that really gets away with a lot; It's very close to being classified as a hentai. I actually came across it one day in an anime magazine and decided to give it to a go, it’s pretty bad in terms of manga but a good read if you want to get away with reading something dirty i suppose.

In the end it's nothing special but worth it if you want to have a decent laugh.

I saw this mentioned in the same breath as Oyasumi Punpun in a few online circles, and that made me want to check this out. Those people speaking so highly of this manga are completely mistaken.

This manga has weird kinks throughout (pissing, mostly. drinking piss. anal. degradation.) but I overlooked how much dissatisfaction the portrayal of these kinks gave me. I was assured that the initial ecchi content would become more complex as the story progressed and it would become more than simple baseless hentai. But that never happened.

I see what the story was going for, showcasing the bonding of these two characters. But ... the impact of this manga would have been stronger if the two main characters bonded in ways that didn't involve weird sexual acts. Any time the two characters became closer, something sexual immediately followed. It was aggravating. It was unnecessary.

Some of the characters were endearing and would have made a cute friend group if not for the overbearing perversion that overtook everything about this manga. You couldn't go 3 panels without something grotesque or unnecessary being shown.

Would not recommend.
