Plot Summary by AnimeNFO:
Tsukamoto Tenma is a second grader in high school who, like other
girls her age, falls in love. However, she could not bring herself
to confess her love to her classmate Karasumaru. She discovers that
Karasumaru will transfer out next year and, with the help of her
friends and her little sister Yakumo, tries to confess her love.
Tenma also uses unorthodox methods such as disguising herself as a
nurse or shooting arrows with a love letter attached to express her
feelings for him.
On the other hand, Harima Kenji, a delinquent, has feelings for
Tenma. Unfortunately, Tenma's preoccupation with Karasumara ensures
that she doesn't notice Harima's affection, much to Harima's
dismay. To make matters worse, one day, he sees Tenma and
Karasumaru having lunch together. This causes him to skip school
and embark on a journey of enlightenment.
Personal Comment:
Don't be fooled by the title, the Genre or the plot summary, this
is no ordinary lovy-dovy, against the odds kinda show. It is that
and more. Set in a class room setting, these more than 32 guys and
gals get into all sorts of hell like the persuit of love, class
outings, part-time jobs, sports day, cultural festivals, gun
fights, discussions of porn, italian gansters and ofcourse
inter-school rivalry between 2-C and 2-D.... Reminds me of my 5N1
and 5N2 rivalry....
Calling it funny would be an understatement. I'll laugh no matter
how many times I see the show. Also, one of the fun parts is trying
to guess who will pair up in the end. Unlike the shows you know
this character is gonna end up with this guy, school rumble has
many possible pairing.
This anime is a must watch....
