Description
From Del Rey: She's a second-year high school student with a single all-consuming question: Will the boy she likes ever really notice her? He's the school's most notorious juvenile delinquent and he's suddenly come to a shocking realization: He's got a huge crush, and now he must tell her how he feels.
NOTE: Ch 232 is actually Ch 231. It was a mistake, there were two 191 published. Now the mistake is corrected, so no Ch. 232.
An extremely funny manga that had me hooked for years. Although the comedy is quite consistent, I enjoyed the (rare) sweeter moments much more. The ever so slight changes in relationships, evolution in characters' personalities were the components that kept me reading for so long. If it was only a comedic manga, I would have given up at one point.
I wanted to see where the characters would eventually end up, and how they would do so. Thus, the ending was so utterly disappointing that I can't bring myself to give a very high rating. The ending was rushed and there were so many loose ends that were never tied. It felt like the characters could have changed and evolved so much more than they did. It felt like the relationships could have had so much more depth than they did.
Perhaps it is more of a personal preference, but I feel like more depth in the relationships could have put this manga on a whole other level.
This manga would have been great if it was only 50 chapters, but it drags on too long. The relationships never really change, so the jokes get stale after awhile. Although the circumstances of the jokes change, the basis of the jokes (the unexpressed love and awkwardness of the characters) never changes.
In terms of content, this manga has a lot of references to other series, but they're presentation is not that creative. The intermittent drama was good when it actually changed the relationships (like the dance between Harima and Sawachika), but most of it didn't and was just pointless space fillers.
School Rumble makes fun of many other known references and also..from itself, as a lot of memories are that of an author. It's a good manga to read from time to time and not all at once, actually.
The character development is presented perfectly in this manga and there is many interesting side stories that keep the manga interesting.
wow, one aspect i love about this manga is from how ridiculously funny and random a chapter is and the next chapter becomes so serious, dramatic and emotional. Kudos to the mangaka, and i'm really looking forward for more as it seems that the newer chapters will tie up more loose ends. Hopefully the mangaka won't end this series prematurely or abruptly like other recent mangas.
I read and still read many lovecoms, and this is one of the best. Sadly in chapter 272 was a note that the closing chapters start ^^" But oh well the third year nearly starts and some important issues had finally been resolved (although one or two had been added XD)
i find myself laughing no matter how may times i read it, plus the recent chapters are getting more....interesting. The relationships of the characters are also concluding (is the end nearing?). das..
probibly the funniest manga ive ever read character development is da bomb only argument is i can basically see whats gonna happen at the end martial arts mofo gets w/ moko tenma gets with ken my man kenji gets with suou arika finds prob some artsy motherfucker karin gets with pervert-san and some ironic situation finds sawachica with some real humble down to earth dick and everybody will bump uglies and live happily ever after
I love the twists in the plot and the humor. Not everything is original, but the presentation is exceptional. The variety of characters and how they all get entangled is the best part though. Almost every chapter makes me LOL, literally. Just awesome romance/comedy manga, with a little more emphasis on comedy.
The relationships are infuriating at times but the humor generally makes up for it. Art is kinda mediocre. It shines at times but mostly it is just serviceable. Very slow advancement in plot from chapter to chapter though character growth does occur. Half the time I find myself pitying the bastards and the other half I find myself wanting to strangle them. All in all, it's the pure humor that puts this barely at a 9/10.
One of the greatest romantic comedy's I have ever read/seen, in my opinion the anime is better then the manga. However, I hope that they come out with a 3rd season soon. Anyways, the manga is funny, totally unpredictable and you feel that it can go on forever. My only wish is that the mangaka gives us an unexpected conclusion to the series and not the typical Harima/Tenma ending that one would usually expect.
