Synopsis

She...is a second-year high school student with a single all-consuming question: Will the boy she likes ever really notice her? He...is the school's most notorious juvenile delinquent and he's suddenly come to a shocking realization: He's got a huge crush, and now he must tell her how he feels. Life-changing obsessions, colossal foul-ups, grand schemes, deep-seated anxieties, and raging hormones—School Rumble portrays high school as it really is: over-the-top comedy!

To start off, this is one of those manga that's mainly concentrated on comedy. Trust me, if you read this manga it'll make you laugh. Of course if you're one of those looking for romances this isn't a bad choice either. Don't be fooled.

First of all this show works as a good comedy, that from time to time might give you a decent chuckle. The thing is, it doesn't come out with strong hand as a good romance.

The show follows the idea of "infinite romance" where characters try really hard to get attention of their crushes, but ultimately it comes down to nothing. Said measure goes on and on ...

No spoilers for the first part. There will be marked spoilers after the first part, for a bit of a longer read.

For me, this is an absolute deal breaker. There is nothing I hate more than to read/watch an entire series, only to find out there is no resolution to anything that was set up throughout the series. There is no real payoff to any of the romance building. In a romcom.
So if you are anything like me, then don't bother with School Rumble. It isn't worth your time.

It's quite clear the author was just ...
