DOWN BUT NOT OUT!

Harima Kenji has never lost a fight, but his love for the clueless Tsukamoto Tenma is proving to be his greatest challenge. After catching his cherished Tenma-chan and an unexpected rival in a lunchtime tryst, Kenji spirals into the deepest pit of high school Hades–plummeting so low that there’s only one thing left to draw a manga. When Kenji hits bottom, whom will he find there? Meanwhile, Tenma is determined to learn how to cook–this time preferably without setting the house on fire!

I really like the character of Yakumo more and more.

He has a unique charm that attracts me deeply. His actions and words always carry a certain mystery, making it difficult for people to see through his true thoughts.

Moreover, his relationship with the other characters in the story is also very interesting. It seems that there is an invisible thread connecting them, which makes the development of the plot more complicated and exciting.

However, on the other hand, the plot doesn't develop much. It feels a bit stagnant at times, and I hope there will be more unexpected twists and turns in the future to make the story more attractive.

In general, although the plot has some shortcomings, I still like the character of Yakumo very much, and I look forward to seeing his performance in the next plot.

This is such a silly manga. Lol.

At first glance, it may seem like just a random collection of absurd images and wacky stories. But upon closer inspection, there is a certain charm to its silliness.

The characters are often drawn in a comical and exaggerated style, with their expressions and actions being completely over the top. It's as if the artist is trying to push the boundaries of what is considered normal and acceptable in the world of manga.

The storylines are equally ridiculous, filled with nonsensical plot twists and turns that keep you guessing and laughing at the same time. You never know what to expect next, and that's part of the fun.

Overall, this silly manga may not be for everyone, but for those who appreciate a good laugh and a bit of absurdity, it can be a truly enjoyable read. So, if you're looking for something to brighten up your day and make you forget about your troubles for a while, give this silly manga a try. Lol.

Hilarious!


Reading this manga has truly been a remarkable experience for me. It has the power to completely transform my mood and help me escape from the clutches of low spirits. The moment I open the pages, I am immediately transported into a world filled with laughter and joy. The witty dialogues, the absurd situations, and the charming characters all contribute to its hilarity. It's like a magical elixir that instantly lifts my spirits and makes me forget all my troubles. Whether I'm having a bad day at work or feeling down for no particular reason, this manga never fails to bring a smile to my face. It's a wonderful source of entertainment and a great way to unwind after a long and tiring day. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good laugh and a way to boost their mood.

Having truly relished School Rumble: Volume 1, I was extremely excited to delve into the second volume of this series. Oh my, was I ever overjoyed that I did. School Rumble: Volume 2 surpasses the first volume as the focus of the story shifts from Tsukamoto to Kenji, who is a far cooler character. He is the tough and ready punk whose heart has been stolen by the lovely Tsukamoto, despite her complete obliviousness to it. He is so cool, except when it comes to her. He simply doesn't know what to do or how to act. Kenji typically puts on a show in the hope that she will finally take notice of him, but she doesn't. Someday, he will just have to muster up the courage to go up to her and actually talk to her and disclose how he feels. For now, he will just have to continue acting like a bumbling fool... but at least he manages to look cool while doing so.


Once again, the artwork is magnificent and the storyline is hilarious and action-packed. School Rumble is emerging as one of my favorite manga series. I absolutely adore the fact that there are numerous short stories in these volumes, rather than one long continuous story.


So, overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this outstanding manga book and eagerly anticipate seeing if Kenji can win Tsukamoto's heart in School Rumble: Volume 3.


I rated this book an 8½ out of 10.

I didn't really like the first volume of School Rumble.

The story seemed a bit flat and the characters didn't quite grab my attention. However, this second volume is actually much better.

The plot has thickened, with more interesting twists and turns. The relationships between the characters have also developed in a more engaging way.

We get to see more of their personalities and the conflicts that arise from their different desires and dreams. The humor in this volume is also more on point, making me laugh out loud several times.

Overall, I'm really enjoying this volume of School Rumble and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Ughhhh....... I always get hysterical when listening to each episodic story from School Rumble. This manga is really unisex. Whether it's a guy or a girl, they can follow the storyline.

What's unique and interesting is that the theme in each episode is similar to the titles of foreign movies, for example: Rain Man, Speed, Close Encounter of the Third Kind, and so on. And what shouldn't be missed is the joys and sorrows of the daily happenings of each character in School Rumble, which are extremely numerous. (But I like the characters Harima Kenji and the Tsukamoto siblings: Tenma (the older sister) and Yakumo (the younger sister) even more!) I'm so obsessed!

School Rumble offers a rich and engaging world filled with relatable characters and entertaining storylines. The connection to movie titles adds an extra layer of charm and新鲜感. It's no wonder that this manga has captured the hearts of so many readers, both male and female.

Whether you're a fan of romance, comedy, or just good storytelling, School Rumble has something for everyone. So, if you haven't already, give this manga a try and prepare to be swept away by its unique and captivating charm.
