Chris,

Short answer: I don’t know. Since Handley was arrested for violating obscenity laws, it depends on the community you live in and the what your local District Attorney thinks is worthy of his time and effort to pursue. I don’t want to speculate, least that give some publicity hounding DA an idea.

To say I’m upset and troubled by the Handley ruling would be an understatement. I will be doing my best to see that no one else every goes to jail for reading a book or for what their thinking.

So how does Sundome fit in with the recent ruling for Christopher Handley?

hi, i’m from poland. I have read all 6 vol. and what can i say, i can’t sleep, my day is now 48h not 24h. I have been like this few weeks now and i’m afraid to read it egain (but i want to).
I have never felt much toward anything, anyone or to myself.But now I feel that i’m alive, but it’s one of the painful version of this feeling(dificult to describe especially with my english, sorry for that)This is overwhelming for me, but i’m happy.I could never imagine that it would happen because of some stupid book.

I have’nt found any english sub so far, I found a spanish version,though(just google sundome – olympos). It’s just like Ed said “Sundome is like cigarette smoking, it’s better if you don’t start” I’m so hooked now! (Ã‚Â´Ã¢Ë†â‚¬Ã¯Â½â‚¬Ã¯Â¼â€°

THat is interesting, considering that the most popular Anime/manga series have been available in subtitled versions. I do have Death Note for example with a perfect English , subtitled version. I guess Sundome is just not popular enough here to have somebody spend time on it to release it to the fans in the English market.

Arpad,

There isn’t an official subtitled version that I’m aware of. I’m pretty sure everything on the Internet is a fansub. According to CD Japan, the region 2 version doesn’t have English subtitles either.

I am looking for an English subtitled version of Sundome if anyone heard about it, please let me know.

Arpad,

Again thanks for the information. I’ve seen the trailer for the first movie before. I’m still unnerved by how much the lead woman looks, and acts, like Kurumi.

The latest issue I have is the January 13th edition of Young Champion, and it has chapter 60 of Sundome, also has 2 full page ads, one for volume 6 of the books and a full page back cover ad for a DVD edition of the 3 part of the live action movie of SUNDOME.
here is the site for the movie…http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/663/Sundome.html

Arpad, Thanks for the information. What number is the lastest collar (chapter)?

I subscribe to Young Champion , the By-Weekly manga magazine from Japan , and Sundome is going strong in every issue still, so I don’t think that it will end soon.

Alexzanders,

Do you know if vol 6 is the conclusion of the series or will there be a volume 7?

By: Alexzanders

Alexzanders — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 06:15:45 +0000

There are 6 in japan…. I can’t wait for 5!

Jeff,

Where did you see that it ends with book 5? I know that book 5 just came out in Japan, I didn’t hear that it was the last volume. I can’t read kanji, but it looks like Amazon Japan has a listing for book 6.

I have books 1-4, which I started reading after your review of book 1, and I have to say that I really like this series. Sadly, it will end with book 5, but I think it was been a worth while read.

heh. I think “yes!” to a support group because Sundome goes beyond “guilty pleasure”….mainly because in many respects I don’t find it a pleasurable read, more an interesting one.

Danielle,

I did see your well-written review. I was telling Johanna, that most people reading and reviewing this series all seem to have the same reaction. We’re following the series, but we’re not proud of that fact. Johanna suggested we form a Sundome Anonymous group.
