Sundome vol. 6

 

By Kazuto Okada

Translation by Christine Schilling

With Lettering by Abigail Blackman

 

 

Topics:

 

  • Podcast making and possible plan for the future of our podcast.
  • One of the most tasteful and artfully done panty shots in manga.
  • The "I love you" moment. (And the ways lovers can get primal and territorial at times)

 

  • The "Invitation" attack method, otherwise known as the "come-on" as evidenced in the bathtub scene and the Kyouko n Katsu scene. Sexual Tension. It's a thing.

 

  • Sumidagawa (Firework festival among the the sumida river)

(It's a custom to wear a yukata)

 

Synopsis:

 

Hideo Aiba spends all his summer holiday pining over Kurumi Sahana, He arrives early on his return back to school in he hopes that he is the first to see Kurumi. His plans don't work out when the roman club members put him into a trap hole. At the end of the school day Aiba gives Kurumi a ride home but when their bike crashes both Hideo and Kurumi are sent flying. Both gain no injury but for a moment Kurumi was spellbound, her eyes were closed before she fell, when she opened her eyes, she could see that she was flying, if only for a moment. From this point on Kurumi gets a car ride home but she leaves her bag behind.

 

Hideo can't help but feel another man in Kurumi's life is making things worse for her and for him but after dwelling on it, he decides to return Kurumi's bag at her home, and when meeting her he draws her a warm bubble bath. Hideo chooses to stay at Kurumi's whilst she takes her bath alone, but Kurumi invites him into the bathroom. She has a sore bump which Hideo kisses better. When he goes down on her for more, he ends up burning his eyes out due to the soapy water. Yes, Hideo just had to catch a peek!

 

The roman club including Hideo and Kurumi are sent on another ghost hunting activity. This time it leads them to the old ruins of a hospital, the Ex-president of the club and Yatsu are forced to spend the night in the hospitals most haunted room, the red room, and Kyouko and Kurumi find nurses uniforms to wear and tease Hideo and Katsu with. Eventually a loud booming voice scares the club members out by booming the "Get Out". Kurumi and Hideo find a place to hide and spend the night together. At Sunrise it becomes clear whose voice it was at that night. Looking at the camera the club members set up it becomes clear that the ex-prez took advantage of Yatsu whilst he was sleeping.

 

Hideo and Kurumi are crestfallen when the rainy weather prevents them from enjoying the fireworks festival. But they do somehow manage to open a vent and light sparklers in the bathroom, which also triggers the alighting of Hideo's firework package. Hideo quickly puts Kurumi into the bathtub and shields her from the sparks. Their date is put on halt when Kurumi's guardian arrives. Hideo choosing not to go home, instead hides and feels powerless. Once the man leaves, Kurumi finds that Hideo has resorted to self-harm, popping his earlier attained blister red raw.

 

Kurumi bandages up Hideo and Hideo begins to cry, tears of happiness as if the pain from before has now gone thanks to Kurumi. Kurumi tells him that she loves him and with the bandages covering his eyes, Hideo can't see that Kurumi is crying too. Katsu and Kyouko's relationship also develop too, as during one ghost hunting night, Katsu gets a stomach ulcer from the sexual tension. And once again the ex-prez is up to his pervy antics. Even with a chastity belt on to protect the sleeping Yatsu, the ex-prez somehow gets his hands caught in it, surprisingly Yatsu can sleep right through it.

There's a particular kind of magic that happens when a friend hands you a book they love, especially when that book is a manga. We Appreciate Manga captures that exact feeling, beginning each conversation with a personal recommendation before letting the discussion wander into deeper territory. Hosted by the team at We Appreciate Manga™, this series is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on a thoughtful, sometimes rambling, chat between enthusiasts. You’ll hear them explore how specific stories resonate, why certain artistic choices matter, and the very real comfort these illustrated narratives can provide during difficult periods. It’s a celebration of the medium that goes beyond plot summaries to appreciate manga as a unique and powerful form of visual storytelling. Think of it as your audio companion to a vibrant, anime-adjacent book club where the panels come to life through conversation. New episodes of this podcast have been available since August 2022, offering a consistent space to connect with the art and heart of these stories.
