Kuzu to Megane to Bungaku Shoujo (Nise) - Vol. 2 Ch. 182 - My corpse

[MangaDex]

 

[Acolytus]

Casual necrophilia.

 

[Nabugo]

Hey, a man has his priorities OwO

 

[principeinquisidor]

Yup, do it before the corpse gets cold, very motivating words from Kuzu.

As a little trivia: on one interview the artist of the duo Nico Tanigawa said that she likes Sundome by Kazuto Okada and precisely with this manga there is a discussion by the readers (spoilers about the final chapter)

Spoiler

if the main character has sex with the heroine while she was still alive or after she died or both, so the main character has earned a reputation of necrophile between some people.

The extract of the interview:

I love the atmosphere of Peanuts anime. There is no adults or words of adults. Like Choku! and Watamote, I love the atmosphere that consists of only main characters and they don’t see words or things by others. I love Sundome, too, because of the same reason.

Aw, I just realized this only have 2 volumes. Since the first volume have 100 chapters, I'm guessing we're about 18 chapters away from the final chapter?

 

[RandomFanguy]

What a fine gaggle of friends she's made.

@principeinquisidor That manga is surprisingly emotive, I cried my eyes out at the ending. Probably not a good reading for 15 year old me though

 

[JigokuShounen]

"First of all, Breasts..."
Unless the corpse was already rotten and dirtied, it would be just like a random body of a girl lying there without any reaction and you knew it. So....the guy has his priorities right.

@gouder

The last chapter published on Saizen is the 195th, so there is still 13 chapters to be translated plus the extras of the second volume.

@beperov

Yup, I know how do you feel, I was 16 years old and on the last year of high school when I read Sundome for first time, so that series hit pretty close to home for me and on the most perfect time, of course I was not having a life so sexually active or interesting like what was shown on the manga, but the things like the school life and the friendship and comradeship of the members of the Roman Club was great for me. Sundome basically converted me on the reader of manga that I am now, before I was anime only, so I am forever a big fan and thankful with that author. And yeah, the final was painful and emotive, even if that sort of ending was expected as something inevitable at that point and it still was emotive when I read the series for the second time when it was licensed and published on Spanish. As extra trivias for you, there was what seemed to be a high schooler girl that was pretty active on Twitter and even interchanged tweets a good amount of times with @supershinsan, the long time assistant of Kazuto Okada, so yeah, that author has even high schooler fan girls, xd. The second trivia is that recently they celebrated the 30th anniversary of the manga magazine Young Champion, where this author has published most of his works, so they did a exposition dedicated to the works of several mangakas and one of the selected works was Sundome, so yeah, even on Japan it seems that they consider that series as the masterpiece of that author, a shame that this series has been adapted three times as live-action movies, with a grand total of 8 movies on a ten years span, but there is not anime version.

@principeinquisidor I doubt it'll ever get an anime, the manga is way too graphic at some parts. Or at least it'll suffer a fate similar to Aku no Hana

 

[ReaperCreeper]

@beperov You mean improve on the source material?

 

[principeinquisidor]

@beperov
Yup, that is the problem is they adapt the manga faithfully then they will need to find an studio and director with balls of steel of the size of ostrich eggs without fear to make a full blown R15 anime and to be harassed by the watchdogs and PTAs, something like what Hideaki Anno did with Love & Pop, a movie rated R15 by the Eirin principally for graphical and disturbing sexual content, where a 15 years old actress was interpreting a 16 years old high schooler doing enjo kosai and even with a near rape scene throw in the mix. So an anime director and animation studio with the balls of Hideaki Anno on Love & Pop would be wonderful for an anime adaptation of Sundome. The funny thing here is that Hop Step Jump (the forerunner to Sundome) is just now on Shibuya Humax Cinema with two new movies, that are its second adaptation and those movies have a General Audiences rating, even though the two trailers are filled with gravure and panty shots. There was also the two OVA of Kyoukasho ni Nai! (his first series) on 1998, but they were not uber sexy like a faithful anime adaptation would be, even the new four movies released on 2016 and 2017 have characters and scenes that were missing on the OVAs, the most flagrant case being the whole arc of Mai-chan missing on the OVAs, but it seems it is adapted alright on the movies, even with the shower scene.
