From Yen Press: The “Roman Club,” a school group interested in the occult, to which he’s practically enslaved, has become boring for one Hideo Aiba. Until a girl named Kurumi Sahana shows up and wants to join up. But Sahana is no ordinary girl… When the two are left alone in the club classroom, Kurumi makes a special “request” of Hideo… From that moment on, Hideo’s dull life gets far more…frustrating. Sundome literally means "stopping the moment before," and considering the content of the story, it refers to being stopped just before coming or ejaculating.
Terui Chiaki is well aware that her classmate Ajikawa Yoshio is infatuated with her, despite her lack of interest in him as boyfriend material. Chiaki already has a significant other, so even if he were, it would be a moot point. Their enigmatic teacher, Mr. Yamada, observes this dynamic and presents an experiment: using his ability to create clones of people and objects, he duplicates Chiaki without her boyfriend being included in the copy's knowledge. The clone, named Koaki, is then the object of Yoshio's affections, as he attempts to woo her. Eventually, the original and clone will be remerged and whichever romantic bond is strongest - Chiaki's current boyfriend or Yoshio's newfound love - will assume dominance. Initially skeptical, both Chiaki and Koaki gradually begin to feel a stirring of emotion as they witness Yoshio's persistent pursuit.
