School Rumble manga (raw discussion only)

Yes, but there are starting to be subtle hints that Harima may be changing such as when he was watching Eri talk with the children last chapter.

Have the faith that one of these arcs will end up in a change from the norm!

Hopefully.... I'm a great supporter of a Harima-Eri pairing, especially after the sports carnival incident.... He should just forget about Tenma (just like tenma should forget about karasuma lol!).

In any case, I'm still at volume 10 of the manga... eagerly awaiting volume 11.. and season 2!

I don't get the "going back to tunnel vision" people. Look at it from this perspective: Harima's infatuation with Tenma has grown over the course of the story. Harima's relationship with Eri has grown in the course of the story. Harima's relationship with Yakumo has grown in the course of the story. He's opened up to two other girls whereas his obsession is still just an obsession.

Ok so I have some questions to those who follow the manga closely:

1. In what tankoubon volume I am right now?
2. Are there any further developments between ErixHarima? I couldn't care less about Tenma. xD I'm tired of the main girl getting the main guy, we need some variations!
3. Seems that there's YakumoxHarima developments from reading bits and pieces of this forum. O_o That's interesting I have to admit since I don't see that or any hints of that yet in the manga. So is that gonna be a Eri-Yakumo-Harima love triangle?
4. Seems that the latest chapter is 160. Sigh... it gonna take at least 1 year for Shonen Magz to catch up. K, does the story get repetitive like Midori no Hibi?

I don't really watch animes so I don't know really much about SR anime. Any answers will be appreciated. I kinda like SR manga, it's a bit unusual. Yakumo owns btw.

1. Ch 53 that's vol. 4

2. There's a lot of history between the two although Harima still lives for Tenma so...

3. Well since you are up to #53 there's alot that happens so I don't want to spoil any of that.

4. Well it switches to other people here and there.

WTF Harima second in english? Napolean should be flying now.... The class cant believe it... Jin is really pushing towards eri X harima....

There is only one way i can think off why harima got second. Cuz yakumo took it for him! Maybe later we can a story on this....

Wow, anyone else think that Yakumo looked tired of taking Eri's crap.

Spoiler:

Yakumo was clearly uncomfortable painting on Harima's face. She ended up painting on his old moustache and beard much to the chagrin of everyone else.

Tenma is just my least favorite character. My motto is anyone but Tenma.

Yeah the latest chapter had a lot of things going for it. We get to see a little of both Eri and Yakumo.

What crap? The two haven't had all that much interaction since Yakumo apologized to Eri in the school play's afterparty.

Incidently, though, I thought that Eri handled that event rather amusingly. She sets new records of cuteness this chapter. Just when I thought it wasn't possible, too.

[lordjuggernaut]

i say swampy... welcome to the thread.... s'bout time you made your self heard here... rwather than on WF....

as far as eri is concerned... she definitely is confused.... but things are moving in the right?! way......... would love to see how it translates into anime in may or june..

[Edaindil]

May or june!?! I thought it was april....

anyways, is the manga worth reading if I have watched the anime?

[Decagon]

For the second season, check the second season thread. It should be coming out in the spring lineup.

ch 162--

I spent so much time paying attention to hiragana that I don't know jack about katakana . I guess I'll have to wait for a summary before I can get the puns.

[daoster]

The manga that the anime covers isn't worth reading, because the anime is almost the same as the manga, but better with the added benefits of voices and music, and color, and..moving characters.

This chapter had a lot of Eri + Harima interaction, so it's all cute, and Eri continued on looking more and more cute. Looks like things between Tenma and Harima are still the same, since she seems to treat him like she'd normally would?

[Calca]

Hi no Ken and W-General have been MIA. At the time we need him most too!

[lordjuggernaut]

err.. i believe the manga is an art form by itself..... but hey .. ones-to ones own..

What do you mean, I just read some Chinese scan of 162:

Spoiler:

- Harima tells Eri that he doesn't really want to do this trip planning thing. After overhearing Tenma and Mikoto, he figured that he can show Tenma around during the trip if he knows some English.
- So he told Eri that he changed his mind and wanted to help her out after all. Of course, Eri thought that Harima was worried about her. Then she started teaching him simple English conversation.
- For every word the Eri taught him, he kept on substituting it with old Japanese samurais names, driving Eri nuts. Eri finally told him an old joke about Westerners coming to Japan that made him realize the error of his ways. Just then he had a flash of insight that Tenma will make the same mistake as he just did.
- So he pull an all-nighter to learn all the English words that Tenma may mistake, and then started talking to Tenma in English the next morning.
- Lo and behold, Tenma thought that he's an idiot, and he went to the bathroom and punch out a wall.

bleh...ch163 is what I like to call a "wash chapter."

Absolutely nothing happens.

[hi no ken Jebus]

Pretty cute chapter 163 then again anything with Tae is instant win. Anyway...

Spoiler:

Tani collapses with a fever and dreams of Yurippe. She asks how is he doing in Tokyo and what not. She then asks him if he has fallen in love and then suggests he should fall in love since there's a lot of girls in Tokyo but he answers something like they look more like daughters to him. She goes on about falling in love and growing up. Anyway he wakes up and sees Tae blushing and freaks because she overheard most of what he was talking about in his dream. She promises to keep a secret from the students. Tani then starts thinking that Yurippe and Tae resemble each other and he ponders that there's alot of resemblance but she isn't yurippe sort of thing.

Tae asks who is Yurippe and if she was his first love he starts talking about how she was a childhood friend and then asks Tae to go out with him. She throws herself to harima who is also sick with a fever. She tells him to save her she can't take it anymore. Tani is heart broken and leaves, the panel itself is priceless. Then Harima asks for an explanation she then says that she didn't want to get near Tani's sweaty face and take his temperature because it might be contagious
