Sundome (すんドめ), 2006-2009, Okada, Kazuto, Young Champion

Content warning: weird kinks.

STORY: 3

Meet Hideo Aiba, a boy madly in love with the frail classmate that took an interest in him. The supposed power of their unique and intense relationship fails to see characters change and progress decently and the dramatic ending falls short all along. There’s really not much to save Sundome, it’s sick, repetitive and boring.

ART: 2

Art is quite weak and strangely it’s at its worst on the main characters.

POLITICAL POTENTIAL: 3

Jokes center around anus, nothing beyond.

FEMINISM: 3

Some will see the main female character as leading a fight against her curse, but I just see the usual sexual-object/love-interest, that the male protagonist loves so much (but cannot even communicate with correctly to understand her circumstances).

CONCLUSION: 3

Sundome is neither funny, sexy or romantic, don’t waste your time.
