School Rumble (anime/manga)

[KaiTenSatsuma]

a hilarious comedy (/romance for the people who want to be specific, bah to you! BAH!!!) a delinquent Harima Kenji is chasing after a high school girl Tenma Tsukamoto... and thats all i can go into without spoiling anything.

Suprisingly enough the author did a very good job of not completely concentrating on only Kenji and Tenma, there are many love circles present among the student body through the anime/manga which actually effect how many characters act towards each other (somone gets too friendly with Tenma or hits on her, Kenji hits on them, understand?) which can actually get extremely entertaining.

The anime itself is well voiced and very fun to watch, and i am told follows the manga very closely.

i suggest anyone who likes comedy (/romance, BAH TO YOU!...specifics, specifics -sigh-)

I see you are an addict to the "comedy" anime! I got hooked on Love Hina, I my me strawberry eggs, and fruits basket. All three I recommend to you.

I love this series it makes me sad that there is only 2 season (26 episodes in both) and only 2 OVA's!

I shall go on a crusade to find the creator and force him to make 2 more seasons!

At the end of the second series, it announced that the series will continue. So we'll probably see the third series start up in April.

if it starts in april ill consider it a birthday present from Japan.

oh god, haha "WHY IS EVERYBODY FOLLOWING ME?!?!?" and harry and togou ninja run up next to him hahahaha....

though ill admit near the end of every season it takes the romantic..ish twist. cant really say romantic since there is still more comedy than romance.

Ok after finding a book store that actually sold it, i can continue this

The anime is extremely faithful to the original manga series, parts are added here and there to good use and laughs, such as... this part

this part never happened, you only saw the two start chasing each other and karasuma, and it directly goes to when they flash by Sawachika Eri, so in practice the anime is a direct transfer from book form to anime form... i just need to argue Border's ordering staff into getting more copies, theyve only had books 1-5 for the past month, and i picked 1-3 up, and there is NO 4 there, does anyone know how many School Rumble Mangas are out there at the moment?

* Edit - Never mind then, the releases are only up to manga #5, the next one is coming out in june.
