So on the Richter scale of humanity, if 1 is the antithesis of emotion and 10 is bawling my fucking eyes out, this is probably a 9.9 because it's physically impossible to bawl your fucking eyes out. I've never read a graphic novel that made me so sad. Like, come *on*, industry. This is only porn.
That brings me to my first warning - Sundome is for all you deviants out there. If you can't deal with piss, snot, saliva, and post-climactic messes, then don't read because that makes up at least half of all the sexual content in this manga. The other 49% of it

Your Feelings Categories Jan 19, 2009
A local bookstore of mine was closing up due to the hard economic times we're going through, but that didn't mean I'd pass up their huge clearance sale. So I came across this title in the mature manga section, and it apparently seems that someone before me got adventurous and opened the seal. Whoever, did it I wish I could thank them for doing it.
Sundome is very unique in terms of story, I don't think I've come across anything like it in all the manga that i've read so far. Basically you have the main character Aiba-kun who is pretty much an ... May 8, 2013
Sundome: The first manga to ever make me cry.
When I first came across this manga, I didn't expect much. Even though the tags included "psychological", the ecchi elements of the first few chapters made me believe that it would just be a run-of-the-mill, borderline hentai manga with a few unique twists. Oh, how wrong I was. Story: 8 The story of a young, nerdy loser hooking up with a cute girl is pretty standard in ecchi manga. It has been recycled time and time again without fail, and for many people, reading one is like reading all of them. However, Sundome is different. Rather than using sexuality as ... Dec 30, 2008
Having mostly dark gritty (depressing!) manga in my collection i'd thought i'd branch out and try something different and saw Sundome in my local bookstore. It wrapped up so couldn't preview it, mature series...has to be up my street!!
After reading the first volume (just finished the 3rd) the first word that came into my mind was - PAINFUL. Not in the sense it was a bad read, but due to the feeling i felt for the main character Hideo. His relationship with Kurumi is so fascinating to read, and to see how the guy started off in volume to what kind of guy he ... Apr 3, 2018
Sundome is a touching, if very sexually depraved manga. It tells you about the power of love and how it can motivate us to becomes a better person. At least that’s what response to it led to me to believe. In reality, it’s just a brain dead ecchi comedy manga tells a terrible romance story, with a few tweaks could’ve passed off as satire.
Be warned as this review will be full of spoilers. I actually don’t want anyone to read it so I’ll spoil a fair bit of it to explain why. If you’re already familiar with the setup of the story then skip ahead ... Sep 22, 2008
This is not bleach. This is not naruto. Sundome is great because of its unique story, and its ability to keep high levels of suspense while at the same time having constant character and plot development. People who have only read the first 2 volumes will probably call this a cocktease manga, but if you have looked through the moonrunes of volumes 3 and 4 you will find it is anything but. 4 volumes are out, 2 of them have english releases, the third comes out any day now (sep 20ish 2008 right now), and random scans of chapters from volume 5 are popping up

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. Jul 14, 2009
as many others said, if you want a story with horny girls, hentai-style and a bunch of fun service, this isn't for you.
I enjoyed reading sundome quite a lot, mostly because of it's rather unique story and complicate relationships. the unique thing in the story doesn't of course come from the background or anything, on this shore we find what we are supposed to find, a kid in school always off the group till the day he meets "her". till now we are still in the well-known territory. what makes it so unique is that it isn't the story where the guy is rejected, but not ...

I started this manga expecting "Kanojo X but they drink piss", what I got was more like "Punpun but with BDSM".
Anyhow this isn't the regular jerk-off ecchi harem stuff with no clear goals or story, it's a complete and gripping story about fantastic characters that only gets better thee further it goes and the emotional roller coaster went straight off a cliff. It's more committed to raising the readers cortisol rather than penis. This also isn't very long, like any good story with a clear view of what it wants to be and to tell, rather than circlejerking for 300 chapters before getting abruptly axed. Feb 3, 2011
In my opinion, it's really hard to classify this manga. There are so many elements to it, and some of them are quite conflicting. Mainly the comedy and tragedy.
When I first started reading it, the first thing that appealed to me was that it was quite different, in comparisong to anything else I've read. There is the main character, he's an Otaku, that's nothing exceptional. But then comes around a girl - Kurumi, and they start developing their relationship. To be honest, the sexuality also had a strong appeal on me, because I am a sucker for mature romance. But mature romance might be an understatement. The ... Mar 16, 2023
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 ... Mar 23, 2011
My ratings may seem a bit disjointed or exaggerated, but truly, Sundone does Character to a level that it becomes the new textbook, and its Story is an absolute magnificent masterpiece in how it creates, uses delivers, and all at once burns anticipation in one hot, fiery, and at the same, cold and dark ending.
The art was very well done and helped bring the story together. There was never really and detail lost on confusing the background or environment, and many different angles bring about not just life to parts of the story, but the tone of that point. It could have been improved in ... Apr 11, 2013
This is my first review, so bare with me on this one.
Before I begin to write this review I would like to say that this manga captivated me so, that I read the whole 76 chapters in one sitting, I started with the premise that before I went to bed I would read 3 chapters to see if it would interest me, I then spent the following 7 and a half hours reading it, I could not put it down, so be aware its highly addictive! I’m trying not to put any spoilers in the review, because it’s such a good story I don’t want ... Apr 4, 2017
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. READ SOMETHING ELSE LIKE YOUR LIE IN APRIL. For more detail keep read if you wish. I had to write a review about this manga after seeing how popular it was and the praise it received from a bunch of people who truly seem to enjoy this manga.
Story: The story makes no sense. It starts out with a group of boys go to high school and have fun together in some sort of mystery/folklore/alien finder club that they formed. However the ridiculous thing is they are tied to some organization/scholarship/society that will basically make sure they're life after high school ... Jun 22, 2022
we have pathetic male protagonist, those the japanese love so much, who submits himself to some random female that someday is transferred into his school, and from that point on the manga revolves around the sexual adventures of pathetic man a generic bland anime girl, where the former does everything the latter demands because yes, apparently the author believes men are pathetic creatures without brains that act solely on the possibility of sexual reward, this shits borders in Misandry. Besides the shitty plot there is little, mediocre drawing in both characters and backgrounds and cast of characters just as forgettable as the main character, there

I'll just say this right off the bat. Sundome does have some really perverted and frustrating elements to it. If you can't stand a main character that is a masochist or any manga that depicts fetishes that are on the extreme side, you probably aren't going to be able to make it through this manga. If you can put that aside though, you'll find that Sundome deep down is actually a beautiful story of love, growth and friendships.
Sundome has plenty of foreshadowing, subtlety, character growth, drama, comedy, ecchi, ups, downs, etc...that you would expect from a good story. I think as long as you aren't ... Mar 15, 2023
“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 ...

Now first and foremost, I must tell you that I absolutely adore Sundome. It's raunchy, it's ridiculous, and it's surprisingly touching.
I found it through the recommended section from the manga series Mysterious Girlfriend X (another one of my favorites) and upon reading the first few chapters, decided it wasn't really for me. And then its tab sat open, on my phone, for a few months. One afternoon I was really bored so I decided to pick it back up, and I'm so, so glad that I did. Sundome is surprisingly deep with complex characters and really well-written relationships. Its humor is very bawdy, but if ... Oct 19, 2014
Where to begin! After reading the first couple of chapters you get the feeling that it is definitely going to be a story unlike anything else you may have read before, and by the end of it you truly realize what an epic saga it was.
Not going to spoil much about the story, but I am going to warn that even though it is ecchi, it is a very mature look at human sexuality and psychology. If all you're looking for is cheap trills, this is not for you. This is an emotional roller coaster that'll have you laughing, cringing and crying from page to ... May 29, 2015
Sundrome is a manga that is harshly judged beacuse of the way the book is. Sundome is a very pervy book there masterbation gaint di** and even a golden shower(R-kelly style) but if you are mature enough you can see that Sundome is a funny book that will make you cry and has a very brilliant story line.
Sundrome main characters are Kurumi Sahana and Hideo Aiba. Hideo is a high school student and is also in a club that is run by former club member that all ready graduated.(The club members must follow one important rule they are not allowed to ... |
