Sundome's Kazuto Okada Ends Pansuto Manga in 15th Volume

The manga is about a high school student who fakes sickness to have an excuse to go to the school infirmary, and tries to take a peek of the school nurse's underwear. The school nurse discovers the student's real motive, and decides to give him an after-school "secret counseling."

Okada launched the manga in Akita Shoten's Young Champion magazine in October 2016. Akita Shoten published the manga's first compiled book volume in April 2017.

Okada launched the Sundome manga in Young Champion magazine in 2006, and ended in 2009 with a total of nine compiled volumes, and Yen Press published the manga in North America. The manga inspired a live-action film, which premiered in 2007. The manga got two more live-action film adaptations titled Sundome New and Sundome New 2, which premiered in 2017.
