This was the sportiest volume!! (Good!!) However, it was handled in a way that I didn't quite like!! (Oh no!!!!)

This volume kicks off with a focus on the girl on the cover, Karen, a veteran amateur wrestler. She is insanely strong and highly skilled in what she does. Nevertheless, since it's not considered "womanly," she feels embarrassed about it, which truly makes me sad! And other characters are creeped out and scared of her because of her prowess, making both her and me feel even worse!!! God damn it, Japanese society!!!!!! Why do you have to make a girl feel bad for excelling at something like that? Tsk.

This volume also teases the upcoming sports festival quite a bit, which is exciting as I'm a track athlete myself (and there are numerous track events at the said festival). As far as I know, there are zero anime/manga about sprinting. So, I'm always eager for sports festivals as that's the only place I can witness my sport in anime/manga. Although there is at least a distance running anime airing currently, Run with the Wind , which is really great and I would highly recommend.

This volume also only made me giggle once or maybe twice at most. That wasn't a total deal breaker or anything, as it was still otherwise entertaining. I still really enjoy how all of the chapters and events interconnect and flow together, like a REAL story, not just a comedy manga!

Please consider giving this review a "Like" if you've made it this far, it helps me out a lot! And follow me if you want more!

This just keeps getting better and better.

Every day seems to bring new opportunities and wonderful experiences.

The more we explore and discover, the more we realize how amazing this world truly is.

Whether it's a beautiful sunrise, a kind gesture from a stranger, or a personal achievement, there is always something to be grateful for.

We should embrace each moment with open hearts and minds, and let the positive energy flow through us.

As we continue on this journey of life, we can look forward to even greater things to come.

Let's keep our spirits high and our eyes on the prize, because this just keeps getting better and better.

I really love their sports fest!

It is super cool and amazing!

The sports fest is filled with excitement and energy. Athletes from different teams are competing passionately, showing off their skills and determination.

The atmosphere is electric, with the cheers and shouts of the spectators adding to the thrill.

There are various events such as track and field, basketball, volleyball, and more.

Each event is a display of strength, speed, and agility.

The sports fest not only promotes physical fitness but also builds teamwork and sportsmanship among the participants.

It is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to come together and have fun while celebrating the spirit of sports.

I can't wait for the next sports fest to experience the excitement all over again!

The return to classes was a bit boring.

I rescue the appearance of Lala, Harry and Tougo. They are preparing for the sports festival and the competition with the other class emerges.

It seems that there will be a lot of excitement and fun during this festival. I can't wait to see how they will perform and compete.

I hope that in the next volume, all these themes are well developed. What I remember of the anime was quite hilarious, and I'm looking forward to more of the same in the future.

I'm sure that the story will continue to be interesting and engaging, and I'm eager to see what happens next.

☆3.5/5☆

▪ Plot: The plot of this installment received a score of 3.5 out of 5. It had its moments of interest but also felt a bit lacking in some areas.


▪ Details: With a score of 3 out of 5 for details, it seems that there could have been more depth and elaboration in certain aspects to make the story more engaging.


▪ Characters: The characters also scored 3 out of 5. While they had their own personalities, they perhaps didn't develop as much as expected or have as much complexity as one might hope.


▪ Romance: The romance element, which also got a 3 out of 5, might not have been as captivating or well-developed as some readers would have liked.


▪ Logic: The logic of the story was rated 3 out of 5, indicating that there were some parts where the events didn't quite flow as smoothly or make as much sense as they could have.


▪ Artwork: However, the artwork received a perfect 5 out of 5. It was likely one of the highlights of the volume, with beautiful illustrations that enhanced the overall reading experience.


▪ Enjoyment: Overall enjoyment was given a score of 3 out of 5. While there were some positive aspects, such as the artwork, the combination of the other elements didn't quite add up to a completely satisfying read for the reviewer. They expressed disappointment with the side stories this time and are hoping that the 6th volume will bring significant improvement and be a much better overall experience.

Fifth review:

School Rumble is truly awesome! It constantly surprises me with its new and hilarious jokes and pranks. In this particular volume, one of the main characters, Harima Kenji, becomes attracted to Tsukamoto Tenma. He "hears" (by eavesdropping) that Tenma likes guys with beards. So, he decides to grow his own beard, and it grows really, really long. One day, however, a rich and irascible teen named Sawachika Eri accidentally ruins his beard. Even though it was an accident, Kenji refuses to forgive her. Then, when he hears that Tenma actually likes guys without beards, he shaves his beard clean, which makes Eri furious. In retaliation, she shaves off his hair! It's all quite a laugh, but if it were to happen in real life, I guess I wouldn't be laughing as much.

Also, in the book, a new foreign exchange student arrives at the school. She is from America and is now in class 2-D. Her name is Lala Gonzalez, and she excels in lucha power, a type of wrestling. There are then some interesting stories about her.

Lastly, there is a rather unique date in the book between a boy who loves a woman's chest and a super strong flat-chest woman.

Anyway, this book is just really funny and entertaining. It's definitely one of my favorite manga series.
