I know the reviewer stated that SR is a romance manga, but I think it's pretty clear that it's primarily a comedy rather than a romance. And regarding this:

Quote:
The first volume's greatest weakness was that nothing happened. This volume rectifies the situation to a certain extent by putting Harima through love's wringer. However, the fact remains that, outside of this, nothing happens. But, such is high school.


Don't expect anything to "happen" anytime soon. Or ever. In School Rumble, comedy comes first and romance comes second. leaving the romance unresolved allows the comedy to continue.

Well, something does happen, to be fair. It involves Harima and two other characters that is not Tenma.

Then again, though, you're right; just more unresolved romances... Laughing

Glad to see it got a good review. I'm looking forward to the rest of the manga in the USA -- I actually haven't read it before outside of actually buying the thing legit, unlike the anime...

*Nice new design, btw!*

Yeah, I like SR. It's just sad it ends up unresolved for the romances.

And about the new look site, I'd say it's more "ad friendly" Wink
