it was quite sad but near the end.... LOL!

anybody else see the irony in all that? i don't mean to laugh but that is just so ironic

kinda like how he sacrificed himself since karasuma was the only one Tenma liked, now the other guy is sacrificing himself since Harima is the only one Eri seems to like

it's almost like all of a sudden, he's put into Karasuma's shoes.

Go! Harima! Go!

Still, this chapter shows Harima cares about Eri, and Eri still likes Harima, and so maybe there is still hope... or maybe it's just me...

I do see the irony in that. The only difference is that Harima doesn't love Eri, at least not like Karasuma loved Tenma. That's not to say that he doesn't care for her, or that if given time they will end up together (they might if she stays and Yakumo decides not pursue Harima, or Harima rejects her), but it is different. I kind of don't know where this is going. The obvious outcome is that Harima realizes that he loves Eri and gets her to stay by confessing. That's the obvious one, but just because it's obvious doesn't mean that it will actually happen. The other not so likely outcome is that Harima somehow gets Max to make Eri stay, and those two get together. That isn't very likely. And the last possibility is that Eri leaves. This is probably more likely than the previous one. Well, here's hoping the mangaka would continue with these chapters and leave out those, in my opinion, useless chapters that came out the last two weeks.

On a side note, I find it hard to believe that Yakumo isn't getting more screen time. Since the walking festival, she made two appearances. One in a b chapter, and another in a # chapter that felt more like a b chapter (and the two chapters were pretty much about the same thing). Considering that she is the most popular character, you would imagine she would get more focus. I would find it really disappointing if the mangaka intends to end School Rumble with Yakumo's "resolution" being that she has friends. I'm not saying that she must get together with Harima, but there needs to be something more than just this. Too much time was already spent on Yakumo to have her story end like this.

altho i enjoy the manga alot, i think KJ focused alot more then most would have liked on Imadori the perv and Ichijou the monster and other filler charachters alike

Hanai wasnt given enough time to develop with Yakumo so far but i guess thats imposible since Yakumo likes Harima and KJ is going a diff way by throwing Mikoto and Akira in the hanai train

still maxs appearence worries me some cuz im a harima X eri fan but hopefully Harima will finaly start to see eri the way she sees him
