Sundome

"Kurumi: I won't have sex with you. Even if I do it with someone else... or as a casual fling... even if we were the last two people on Earth... I'd still never have sex with you. No matter how much you cried and begged for me... I'd never let you come. Are you... okay with that?''

Aiba: ... yes."

Sundome (Stopping the Moment Before) is a Seinen manga by Kazuto Okada, who also authored Kyoukasho Ni Nai.

The main character is Hideo Aiba, who believes that all humans have specific turn-ons and, because of his specific demands, he has never "fallen in love with someone at first sight". Enter New Transfer Student Kurumi Sahana. She is odd, yet "all of her" is Aiba's turn-on. She gets a seat next to him, and the other students note Aiba's lack of interest in 3D girls. After school, Aiba is a member of the "Roman Club", whose members search for UFOs, paranormal activities and the like. The Roman Club was funded by school alumni now involved in all facets of Japan's politics and economics. Also, every member has a specific fetish and losing your virginity means you get kicked out of the club. For those members who uphold the rule of remaining a virgin until graduation, the alumni supply numerous recommendations and backups for getting into colleges and high-paying careers. However, due to so-called assassins, women sent by Roman Club alumni to cater to the Club members' fetishes and rob them of their virginities, six years have passed without a single member successfully graduating. As Aiba tries to get out of his membership, Kurumi shows up, showing an interest in the club. After the other members leave, Kurumi starts reading "The Secret Book of Masturbation", which she found in the club, and asks Aiba, "Show me how you jerk off." This is the start of an unusual relationship.
