After I saw the anime I felt I had to read the manga. I love cheesy stories with mermaids and such in it. And so I came to like the story in the manga as much as the storyline in the anime. The anime is better though, despite the numerous fillers I enjoyed it far more.

The art was fairly good, not the best I've seen but certainly not the worst, the character development was bad. I find that the author wasn't able to properly develop them, all Luchia was in my eyes, was a stupid girl who can only think of Kaito, no personality ... what so ever. Hanon was a little better developed and so was Lina. They had a little more story to themselves but it still seemed quite superficial.
In my opinion this manga is nothing more than mediocre, the story itself though I liked the idea got a bit annoying because the author seemed to skip some parts so that the characters were suddenly in a whole different place, doing a whole different thing, this was confusing it times.

So overall this manga is mediocre with no high reread rate, I would not recommend it to people but I wouldn't tell them to not read it either. It's something you pick up when you have nothing better to do.

This show is awesome. After a long day at school,college, work etc this is the anime to watch. No heavy mood in there. Although I must say the manga is better than the anime. I adored the story, a not so typical high school story. The only downside to the story was the final episode. It was a bit confusing considering they were jumping back and forth between events. Thankfully the previous episodes made up for it.

The art is wonderful. In anime you often see that some aspects of the images are astonishing whereas some other aspects look horrible (for example the lips). None ... of this is present in School Rumble, the art is great and fits the mood of the anime perfectly.

It took a while to get used to the opening theme but overall the music was quite good. The right songs were played at the right time and it was good to hear the actual characters sing, for a bit.

I love the characters in School Rumble, the only characters I found quite a bit annoying were at times Yakumo, and more often than not, Tenma. Harima was brilliant, he is one of the funniest characters in anime history no doubt. I found the pace at which new characters were introduced fine, not too many characters were introduced at once, which is always a good thing.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this anime with the exception of the final episode which is why the overall grade for it is an 8 instead of a 9 or 10. After all final episodes are supposed to blow you away and this one did not do that. I hope the second season will be as good as this one though ^_^
