Sundome vol. 5

By Kazuto Okada

English Translation: Christine Schilling

English Lettering: Abigail Blackman

Topics:

• The formula of Sundome
• Boy is curious/anxious about girl friend
• Curiousity/anxiety creates tension as he oversteps his boundaries.
• Not to worry as girl loves boy and has sexy time with him.

Note how the love interest, Kurumi, seems to be escaping her problems and masking her issues with sex. Meanwhile the sex scenes are used as filler or as the main action set piece.

• Kyouko x Katsu
• The mystery of Kurumi / hospital encounter
• Calling your lover mommy/daddy
• Changing the lightbulb cliché.

Synopsis:

Hideo Aiba sees that Kurumi has a cold and hopes that it will pass away from her and over to him. As expected, Hideo gets sick and luckily Kurumi is over it. The roman’s club ex-president visits Hideo and is all too excited to give him suppositories in order to make Hideo feel better, yet the ex-president, being the pervert that he is, gets kicked out. When Kurumi visits Hideo she nurses him. She finds the suppositories and puts one inside Hideo, bringing him a new sexual experience.

Another time, another day, Hideo takes the ex-president to the hospital and ends up encountering Kurumi there. She asks him why he is there but Hideo senses anger in her voice and cowardly runs away from her. He can’t help but think of her, even at his workplace, Kurumi arrives to return his bag that he left behind and it seems she is not angry and is as affectionate to Hideo as ever. But Hideo can’t help but have nightmares about Kurumi whilst at that hospital.

Eventually, the ex-president and Yatsu get suspicious of Kyouko and Kurumi since, Hideo and Katsu always spend time with them when they divide into groups. This is not a good thing due to the club rules being to remain virgins and that club alumni will send an “assassin” to test the boys. To remedy this issue the two, decide on another activity. To play at night during after-school hours, Yatsu and the ex-president spend time alone with the girls whilst Hideo and Katsu dress as Shinigami so to find and scare them. Unfortunately, it only takes less than 2 minutes for Kurumi and Kyouko to be scared out, not by the Shinigami costumes but by the perverts that are Yatsu and the ex-president.

When Hideo’s mother finds Kurumi’s underwear in his room, she demands answers. In an act of defiance Hideo runs away from home. It’s only when Hideo stays the night at Katsu’s He finds that Katsu is stashing away a soiled photo of Kyouko.

By Kazuto Okada

Translation by Christine Schilling

Lettering by Rob Flores

Topics:

Sex scene recount:

• The rope bridge – Hideo’s food is stuck in the rain and Kurumi pees on him.
• The game of darts – for every dart, Hideo gets a few seconds to touch her, penalty is he goes for days without masturbation. He eventually gets a sympathy touch, but loses feeling in hands.
• Kurumi jerks off Hideo in the middle of class.

• James realises this is a “coming of age” story
• Hideo vs Peeping Tom
• Kyoko vs her ex-boyfriend
• First job/ pay check
• Bringing a girl/boy home to show off to your parents

Pop culture references/Product Placement:

• Yukata, a summer dress given to Kurumi.
• “Nami no hana” Nami no hana (波の花), or “wave flowers,” is a phenomenon that occurs along the coast of the top of the Noto Peninsula, particularly around coasts of Wajima and Suzu, during the winter.
• Gatchapon (and Panties in vending machines)

Synopsis:

For the first time ever, Hideo Aiba brings a girl home, specifically Kurumi Sahana, who has come to pick up a recorded video tape of a special she missed on TV. Kurumi makes such a good impression on his family that Hideo’s mother offers her own Yukata as a gift to Kurumi. However, Hideo is taken back by finding out that Kurumi is an orphan. Later on, he apologises for his dad having asked about it only for Kurumi to claim that she was lying. Hideo takes umbrage with her lie and in turn Kurumi apologises to him, albeit she is surprised by how quick Hideo reverts back to his submissive self.

Eventually Hideo and Kurumi ditch school to go on a date. Afterwards Kurumi asks Hideo to take her to “Namino flower” someday.

When Kurumi gets hit by a car, he finds that Kurumi is inside with her guardian of sorts. The man with the distinct shoes. The man takes Kurumi and Hideo out for dinner and whilst alone with the man, Hideo takes the chance to explain his sexual relationship with Kurumi. The man is calm and unfazed by this. Hideo is emasculated by this man’s presence and although he wishes to pay for his part in Kurumi’s and his own meal, he sadly can’t afford to.

Hideo decides to work part time at a convenience store. The roman club believe he is seeing a sophomore girl behind their back. But they soon learn about it his workplace and treat it like as their new hang out! Kurumi is proud of Hideo, so much that she gives him her panties and goes full on commando. But when a peeping tom lurks around the shop this causes Hideo to defend the demure qualities of Kurumi and confront the perv.

Hideo saves up enough money to pay back for the meal and buy Kurumi a gift. But the roman club impose on Hideo and force him to treat them to a karaoke night together, in the end Hideo can only afford so much but he does get a gift from Kurumi. With help from a Gatchapon vending machine he buys Kurumi a capsule that, oddly and conveniently contains panties.
