School Rumble

Sophomore cutie Tenma is completely crushed out on classmate Karasuma and she just might explode if they don't end up in the same homeroom.

If you're still waiting for the rumble, well then you just about rival Tenma in the brains department! What does happen, or rather doesn't? Why can't any of these people sign a single thing?!?

It's the third episode and you know what that means? Time for a bank robbery! Seriously?!? Almost? But first, Art Class brightens things up a bit as the students pair off to sketch each other's portraits. And of course, Tenma ends up with Karasuma? Like, duh!

It's field trip time and the question on everyone's mind: "Who will I get to sit next to on the bus?" The obvious dilemma? Tenma wants nothing more than to sit in bliss next to Karasuma, while Harima plans on planting his butt firmly next to Tenma's.

Harima's getting all hot and bothered, though it has more to do with what he's eating than anything else! Maybe "cause his face is already red" Whatever the reason, the bully's bullied into ?fessing up the back story of his quest for Tenma!?! Let's just say there's some turkey carving involved and leave it at that?

Let's get ready to rumble! No wait... Well, that's actually pretty accurate. Tenma's gonna have to fight for survival after she locks herself into the sports equipment room!?! Yeah, you heard right? Survival!

In his never-ending quest to impress Yakumo, Hanai volunteers his class to clean the school's swimming facility? Yeah, that's gonna go over real well!

Inspired by her friend Eri, Tenma dawns on the idea that the fastest way to a guy's heart might be through his stomach - And if that guy's Karasuma, then you know we're talkin' curry!

Heart-broken Harima has set aside his butt-kicking in favor of the ancient arts? The ancient art of comic books?!? Even so, in all the morose moseying he has scored on something else? Something that truly does qualify as well-aged!

Feeling purged of his love for Tenma, Harima's been purged of his sanity as well? Having found his calling as a holy man, moonlighting as sidewalk fortune teller, animals and all?!? If you're finally feelin' the rumble, sorry to disappoint? It's just the earth spinning slightly off axis!

Local water park, scene one: Tenma's treadin' water as she watches her friends get hit on, waiting and wondering?

It's time for some fun in the sun, but will Hanai lose his cool as he forgets first his breakfast, then his girl? Well technically he didn't forget her, she just forgot to come?

Beach fun - Take two! Imagine mastering "awkward situations" as an art form!?!

In this very special after school special? Is that too redundant? And can it be an after school special if they're still on summer break?

The feud between Eri and Mikoto continues, although neither girl has a clue as to what they're even going on about. The scary thought... Tenma gets it!?! But isn't that because she started all this craziness?

The Tea Club's gone camping in the mountains... Yeah, that makes perfect sense!?! Well, nature does calm the mind... But things won't remain that way for long, as soon as Hanai realizes Akira gave him the wrong date...

Still very little rumble, but there is a giraffe in the gym! Is this the cutest crap ever, or what? Tenma and gang's back from their camp out and it looks like hard-ball Harima's about to 'fess up - again - but wait... The giraffe is his?!?

Summer lovin' happened so fast? So fast that Imadori's completely forgotten! He made a date with Karen, and now that school's back in session there's just no avoiding it!?!

First off, Harima's taking this beard thing way too far! News on the school circuit is that there's gonna be an art exhibit? An art exhibit about The Female Nude in Form and Figure!?! Of course, it doesn't take long before the boys are all plotting and planning, especially when they learn who's volunteering!

So Eri's showing off in class... And accidentally snips off Harima's beard!?! It's okay though, Tenma's tied a pretty pink bow in its place. He won't notice...

Hanai's got it out for Harima and Harima's got it out for his look-alike. So when the three meet up in a questionable back alley, it's another triangle? One not of love but of hate!?!

It's the day of the Athletic Meet and excitement is running high? For all but Tenma, that is.

So Eri's taken an interest in the school nurse? More specifically, what kind of relationship she has with Harima. Or should I say "Hario?" Is the little rich girl actually jealous?!?

So the rumors are flying and there's a bit of a rumble as Eri stays home to avoid the embarrassment. Harima takes to hiding as well - Are those two an item?!?

Out on the open seas, Harima gets some sense knocked into him? And it's about damn time! But the land can be as cruel as the sea, crueler if you're in this series!?!
