School Rumble manga (raw discussion only)

[kenjiharima]

We will be if he continues the story of the REAL School Rumble and gives us a MORE PROPER end than a damn pie fight. agh...sorry for the words.

[OctaBech]

I hope pie fight is his way of saying "do not take this serious, folks".

I hope so too. The seaon1 and 2 endings made us want more school rumble in a good way, but this new OVA didn't...

*Goes back to NNA*

[Solafighter]

kenjiharima, dont say "real" school rumble not out so loud. In my eyes, the real school rumble is a good story with awsome scenes(watch season 1 and 2 ) and nice missunderstandings but a reset on the end. I dont think we need the last one(from now on).

Anyway, lets see what KJ is doing.

[kenjiharima]

Let's just say Sangakki is an alternate universe and never happened. Man I'd give anything now to make that ending just Harima's manga writing. The True ending for me is in season1, but it was Harima's manga...I just wish they did that.

Uh...nope I can't speak nor read that much Japanese, but I got a friend who does, who helps me read the raw manga chapters. The main man that was translating NNA is townsocks, but the main man hasn't translated NNA 9 yet, maybe busy with personal things.

Also the NNA male protagonist is not much as of now, but the story and the girls are very good also the art. Makes SR art look like a piece of...Ink. splatter

Mh whats NNA again?

Natsu no Arashi KJ's better work, ever since he made this manga school rumble seems to have crumbled in the story and artwork and it seems the story of NNA is quite intriguing now than SR, also the art is better. More background, toning, inking, facial reaction, development, addition of characters, backstories, secrets...etc. Seem KJ can't juggle more than one manga at a time, he needs to focus on one manga only and I hope NNA gets an anime or OVA soon since this is the only thing and Hentai Kamen that is stopping me from hating him for the ending he did.

Can anyone tell me what the hell happened in the last few chapters?

LOL....yeah right. He'd rather suffer through the agony that is SRZ than catch up with NNA.

NNA could have Eri and Yakumo moonlighting in bunny costumes and he'd still wait for SR

EDIT - LMAO, I was right:

Spoiler for stuff:

- Tenma leaves for America, Harima goes emo and starts fights
- Eri literally slaps some sense into Harima
- Harima learns that Eri is going to have an arranged marriage after she graduates
- Harima runs over to Eri's place and tells her not to do it, Eri says the only way to stop it is if she gets 'engaged' to someone else
- Harima says he'll do it, Eri is happy
- Yakumo's friends hear about this and set Harima up so he lives with Yakumo

*TIMESKIP*

- Yakumo gets a letter from Tenma saying to come to America
- Yakumo and Sarah get a ride from Eri, Mikoto and Akira once they arrive
- Harima travels the country as a blues singer
- The entire 2-C class reunites
- PIE FIGHT
- Karasuma deflects pies thrown at Tenma
- Harima returns, gets tunnel vision for Tenma again
- Tenma welcomes Harima back
- 2-C FOREVER!

...feel free to make that face anytime now.

[kenjiharima]

That's just it the time skip could be jsut a time paradox or a manga ending form one of Harima's manga he makes to earn a living and pay the bills at Yakumo's house since he's freeloading in bed space.

BTW NNA vol.3raws chapters are now out! YES!!! Sorry to gotta do this everytime and talk about NNA.

That just about sums it up but you didn’t mention Akiras development (if you can even call it that) for some reason KJ tries to reveal some of her background but only shoots himself in the foot by creating hundreds of more questions.

Oh and kenjiharima the more I think about it, if you go read 282-283 again, there is no way KJ can make it into a Harima manga.

1-First of all a Harima manga stinks but no where nearly as repulsive as a final KJ manga.
2-There is always street fighter/dbzish warfare in a Harima manga
3-Harima always gets the girl in a Harima manga

For Sr’s ending to be some kind of "fake ending", KJ probably have to do something where:
Harima wakes up hot and sweaty in Yakumo’s house from a horrid nightmare where he winesses Tenma kiss Karusuma at that wedding of 283. Just then Yakumo tells Harima hes going to be late for his meeting with Eri... A Harima nightmare may be the best ‘escape’ from the monster known as 283.

Guess your right.

Hey your idea sounds good. Chapter 284 can be called NIGHTMARE ON ELMS STREET 2, just to put a hole in that dumb ending. If ever KJ's gonna make another chapter.


Wow never knew Arashi had something to do with...opps...not SR it's NNA!

Thanks for the tip.

[devildog23]

I have a question...They say manga Volume 22 was to be bundled with OVA 26, but it seems like manga volume 21 (ch 262-283) pretty much ended it, so what is volume 22? Is it like a continuation or what?

[kenjiharima]

check out wannabefansubs, wiki. They have all the listings of the SR manga and chapters.

[Dark Mage]

Can someone tell me the ending for School Rumble please? Who did Tenma end up with? Did she end up with that stupid expresionless dude called Karasuma? Was it shown properly that they became a definite couple or not? What happened to poor Harima?

Hard to tell... Kenji, can you take this part? You are better to answer those questions.

Or in short, lets say: Reset.

Mathmatic: begin = end
Just in the technical state, that nobody ended up as pair with anybody. Only feelings increased and are going stronger.

[kenjiharima]

Well technically it Tenma ended with Karasuma and Harima in the manga still has hopes that Tenma likes him, opposed to the anime where Harima is more of a friend to support Harima.

In the anime they've eliminated all the pairings concerning Harima, like in Flag event which where Eri slaps Harima, she talks to him more of a friend that a girl that likes him. Yakumo shows some sign, but non the less will not get in the way of Harima and Tenma's true love.

So the pattern goes....

Main character x her True love. So Tenma x Karasuma end.

as opposed to main character girl x main character boy..

Yeah I know poor Harima and poor pairings are left without answers...that is where the rage and sadness started within my heart, I love this series and I would still recommend it though don't read the final 2 chapters...REALLY...

Glad Natsu no Arashi is getting animated. It's a fresh new start after School Rumble... ^_^
