Misunderstandings+romance manga. I guess that describe this manga quite well ^^;
Tsukamoto Tenma, is a clumsy and (too) clueless --if not dummy, yes personal feeling is involved here, LOL-- girl.
She falls in love to Ooji Karasuma, a totally weird (in a term 'alien-like weird') boy in the school.
While Kenji Harima, the school gangster is in love with Tenma.
Neither Tenma nor Harima succeeded in confessing their feelings, though Harima is more unlucky because Tenma thin...more

I've been so busy with work, school, the holiday, and now planning a trip to Tokyo and another school semester around the corner...I've pretty much stuck to manga the last couple months.
I've actually seen the first season of the anime School Rumble series. I love the lighthearted story, the love triangle between Tenma, the flighty high school girl, the mysterious yet strange boy she has a crush on, and Harima, the completely misunderstood bad boy who loves Tenma.

This is the first manga I have ever read. I love the dubbed version of the anime & decided that I needed to try reading the manga. I was not disappointed as the makers of the anime did a good job of following the manga, so the characters and stories were already familiar. These stories are laugh out loud funny as two of the most dimwitted (but cute in Tenma's case) characters make their way through high school and crushes.

Overall Rating: D+
Synopsis: Created by Jin Kobayashi, the series is a romance comedy that follows Tenma Tsukamoto. Tenma attends Yagami High School, and is in love with the stoic Oji Karasuma. Meanwhile, the male protagonist, Kenji Harima, a delinquent, has developed a crush on Tenma. Both Harima and Tenma have difficulty telling their respective crushes how they feel, and so (of course) hilarity (supposedly) ensues.

I'm not a huge fan of manga, especially manga that has been laboriously translated to english and sometimes takes a few references to the handy glossary of run-of-the-mill japanese terms, but I still managed to get hooked onto School Rumble. Broken up by character profiles and intense action scenes combined with the uneffable schemes of it's love struck, pigtailed protagonist, this graphic novel was like eating a a japanese crunchy stick with you r literary taste buds. Yummmers :)
I'm in love with this. It's so funny. Tenma is so cute. She looks like a baby bunny with her hairstyle. I want to squeeze her, and pat her head, like a puppy!
Hajima, though, looks like a delinquent, which is exactly what he is. I literally laughed out loud when Tenma (view spoiler) Indeed, men are powerless against love!
Looking forward to reading the next volume!!

I have read this around in middle school, so it's been a long time. This volume is so funny, and my favorite character is the guy with the sunglasses. He's awesome, but I forgot his name, so like I said before its been awhile. You'll might enjoy this one, I haven't bother continuing to finish ready the rest of the volumes, but if you like comedy romance, this one is a manga for you to read.
I watched both seasons and could only find about two funny episodes.
I have no idea why I thought the manga would be any different. I kept hearing that this series was "hilarious" and "romantic" so I decided to check it out. Don't. It was a waste of time. I actually tried to find the comedy this series claims to have, but it doesn't.

While this volume isn't the best, the series is quite good and gets much, much better. The half of the series is kind of silly and comedy, but it gets better and deeper towards the second half.

i love this manga and the anime, i like all of the randomist and it cracks me up, but the love(can't think of a shape) is a little confusing but over all i loved it
It's an insipid series that's not worth anyone's time. The stories are not always connected, they don't always follow a discernable time line, and the main character is the worst kind of idiot!
This encompases all that is bad about the sexist Japanese mindset: women can only be strong in one category (sports, academics, jobs, spirit) and unintelligent/untalented girls are lifted up on a pedestal as if being kind or considerate can make up for all that they lack in depth of character....more

this so cool
Funny manga continuing the legacy of high school comedies such as Azumanga Daioh. The first volume is really promising and for Jin Kobayashi a good start of his career as a manga artist. Maybe I wouldn't enjoy this book as much if it was released by Tokyopop but the treating of Del Rey is first rate (as expected) with many cultural and translation references, that is very much needed with this manga full of cultural and language jokes.

A rather awesome high school romantic comedy, told in short, several-page, stand-alone, episodic strips that build to an overall story arc about a high school junior with a crush on a completely oblivous boy, and a young tough with a crush on her, to which she is oblivious.
A weird mixed of romance and comedy. Lots of unrequited love abounds and it is hoped that this will lead to humorous situations, but most of the time it falls flat. Have a hard time imagining who the audience for this book is suppose to be.
This is a really good series. If you want a comedy series with school like theme into it then this is the best out out there (IMO). This series is still on going which no signs of ending anytime soon ^^
This series is one of the funniest mangas I have ever read. The anime is great too. The characters are well developed and their relationships and encounters hilarious to read.
Going overboard has never been so funny!

I give this 3 or 4 stars. The anime is better. Will read the rest of the manga but will not rush.
This was a bit too energetic and hyper for me, but I did like the art.
it was okay
