Zakuro Shoukougun (“Pomegranate Syndrome”) chapters 1-3 [English, 80 pictures], by Kurokawa Otogi
Ah, I love hentai like that. Weird, unexpected, original, fun to read and, needless to say, ripe with great-looking sex
The story takes place in a hentai universe I hadn’t fancied yet, there are female geniuses, but reaching their heights comes at a cost, they’ll sometimes enter a frenzy and their genius will be turned towards mating, mating at all costs, even though it becomes harmful to most males. Only a few men possess immunity and can safely bang those genius girls silly, until they come back to normal at last ┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌
Which leads us to the main question: WHY THE FUCK “POMEGRANATES”.
Show me a highschool girl in heat, I will think of anything except pomegranates, for Pete’s sake?!?
I imagine it’s a randomly chosen title, but… you never know, right?
Look, a silly counter-example. After I watched the Dodgeball movie, I spent more than 30 minutes desperately googling for anything that might have been the famous Helsinki Incident, I really bought it, and thought it reflected an actual, real world event
Anyway. It’s fun, it’s drawn with kurokawa Otogi’s talent, my only gripe is that weird title and the choice of full whiteout censorship, deal with it ^^
Thanks to Desudesu and his unknown commissioner for this release!
–Update: good news, this post is now obsolete! You will find the COMPLETE version of this manga, right here

pomegranates are generally seen as sign of fertility. perhaps the author is going biblical on us.
Storyline, like a hentai version of “Like Water for Chocolate”, especially the reference to the pomegranates.
Wonderful sex, pendulum tits, metronome tits, speed bag tits; all manner of simple machine breast physics was represented.
Get rid of the censorship and add 120 pages and you’ve got a volume for the ages.
Pomegranates could be a reference to how women can be sweet or sour. In Wikipedia it’s mentioned that pomegranates were brought to Moses by scouts to show how fertile the promised land was. And some Jewish scholars thought pomegranates were the Forbidden Fruit Eve ate and gave to Adam. Other than maybe pomegranates being the author’s favorite snack or something author poured on a woman’s breasts before licking off or author’s favorite woman’s breasts were referred to as pomegranates rather than melons or apples can’t think of a reason why picked it.
You’re providing food for thought, man, nice.
It comes seconded by Oldbrokenhand’s mention of the Like Water For Chocolate novel, in which pomegranates play a part (thank you, wikipedia and internet).
So, basically
– land fertility symbol, source: moses, scouts
– red of passion, source: the like water for chocolate novel
– forbidden fruit candidate, source: jewish scholars
– lots of seeds inside, source: me just now
– maybe simply the mangaka’s kink: last resort option
That’s not bad… maybe the answer is one of these…
Said it before, saying it once again … it’s not solely about “T”, “A” and “P” here on Hentai Rules. Once in a while, one can discover and learn something profound.

Deep down the internet dive, you end up finding the weirdest thing.
