Summary:
Warning(SPOILER: This is chapter1 of book 1)
Tsukamoto Tenma is a your normal average girl in highschool...ok....maybe "normal" doesn't put its it right...she's clumsy, is always messing things up, doesn't have good results and moreover, VERY capable of misunderstanding the things around her. But just like any other normal highschool girls, she's in love....well yet again...not exactly....she likes her classmate Karauma Ooji (a "NORMAL" young man, nothing worth mentioning in particular 'cept nobody bothers about him), but he doesn't seems to notice since she has not done anything to say out her feelings yet. So just as she was appointed the same class as him in the second year...ironically enough, he was going to transfer school the next day. Thus Tenma went through all the trouble to write a letter...(it took her all night, and in the end it turned into the size of an entire ninja Scroll). Ooji Received theletter next day after school...he read the letter, once, till evening. Then he read the letter, twice, till night. and finally he said something..."I still find no name on this piece of letter...". Tenma was there watching him read the letter from a corner, her heart broke, knowing how dumb she's been. But next morning, a surprise came, Ooji had asked his parents not to transfer for another year! Rumuors said it was thanks to a letter telling him not to leave...Tenma now rejoice for she now has more time! In the meanwhile....Harima Kenji, a class rebel, is trying derperately to confess his feelings to Tenma...and after Forcefully getting posted into the same class as Tenma (He was actually unable to attend year 2, he failed his exams) He begins his quest on getting his love.
Now this sound really nice....but I'm going to warn you guys....Everything is not as it seems, because...THIS IS SCHOOL RUMBLE!!! Next comes a school life filled with MISUNDERSTANDINGS (ALOT of this), Friendship, new love, lost love, Beaches, Holidays, Animals(!?), Sports day, and War(!?!?!?),
WhoCareS!? THIS IS SCHOOL RUMBLE!!! For a book with an entire 7-way relationship (well it's starting to look that way thanks to the number of incidents) you shouldn't be surprised at how things might just go an unexpected turn of way!
alright, now to end this summary...SCHOOL RUMBLE 4 EVER!!!! (One of it's anime insert song title)
Drawings: 9
For something so not serious....it's amazing how well the drawings turned out to be. Pretty Females, really pretty Females *Drools at the thought of Yakumo and her dreamy eyes* Nice outlines in everything. The atmosphere are always welcomed by well drawn characters, also, when things goes serious, the boys goes from all dumb to all cool mode XD! You don't see this often for a school manga (By this I meant GTO and such) It's really good, I like it.
Story: 8.5
I'm being really really fair here, because PEOPLE out ther don't READ from the START. I've heard things of it being absolutely confusing and utter crap, it being lame, and everything bad about it out there...but why? I think these people read Lord of The Rings Backwards if you're to ask me...this is not something you can just cut in from the middle and still expect to understand what the whole story is....well ok maybe it's the author's fault...but everything PIECES together!!!! oh well, nothing much to say here, but I like th way the story is going nonetheess, it's one of the funniest I've got out tere, I REALLY don't see this type of humour often, so I'm gonna cherish this book.
Entertainment Value: 8,0 TO 10
If you're all serious and such about romance, you've go the wrong book. But if the 1st book workedwell enough for you, I won't understand why the rest of the series doesn't? This is actually the only Manga I've borded to read at least once every week, that should proof it's worth.
Overall: 9
Great book for me, recommended to people who liked Love Hina's manga (not the animation) and Azumanga Daioh
