School Rumble (スクールランブル)

"It's finally starting!"

"It's finally starting!" The spinning love comedy,

"It's finally starting!" "School Rumble" is about to start.

"I'll say it..."

"It's because of you that I was happy."

"I'll say it, so..."

"When you watch TV, keep the lights on in the room and watch from a distance, okay?"

There's something I want to tell you, but it's too heavy

Just like this, it seems I must break

There are too many of these indescribable feelings

I cannot deliver them to you, though you are near, the distance is great

Forever only looking up at the blue sky is no good

Spinning around (spinning around)... Spinning around (spinning around)...

Unsteadily mustering strength, I want to try diving into your heart

Spinning around (spinning around)... Spinning around (spinning around)...

Lightly floating, again today I am alone above the clouds

"The New School Year! Be Still, My Heart! Love Letter Mayhem! Warp Speed on Bike!"

"Tenma Tsukamoto, Age: 16"

"Tenma Tsukamoto, Age: 16" "Kind of Stupid"

"Kenji Harima, Juvenile Delinquent"

"Kenji Harima, Juvenile Delinquent" "Pretty Stupid."

"I love you," what wondrous words.

The moment I say them, the world changes. Magical words...

I'm going to say them... to you.

- We're going to be late, Sis. - Huh? Oh, wait, Yakumo!

The school year starts today! I'm gonna go for it!!

Thanks for waiting.

- You're late, Sis. - Sorry.

My name is Tenma Tsukamoto. I'm probably your average sophomore in high school.

And... just as all young girls do, I've fallen in love.

Hey, Karasuma!

Karasuma... Oji! Oh, no! I said it out loud!

Sis, wouldn't it be nice if you were in the same class?

Y... Yes... Don't worry! We will be in the same class!

I've been praying for it for six months! My horoscope was great today!

The tea stem in my tea stood up! The spoon bent the right way!

And the strap on my clog broke!

- The last one is unlucky. - I'm going to check the class assignments.

- Sure. Good luck. - Right!

"I love you." What wondrous words...

The moment I say them, the world changes. Magical words...

I'm gonna say them... To you.

I'll... get you for this, Harima!

The school year starts today! I'm gonna go for it!

My name is Kenji Harima.

The baddest JD in high school.

But someone came along and changed me.

Oh... Please let Karasuma be in my class...

Tsukamoto!

Oh! Girls!

Tsukamoto... Tenma-chan!

- Hey, button that shirt... - I wanna be in her class!!

Huh?

- We're all... ...in the same class.

- So are you, Tenma. - Really?! Yay!

I'm with Eri-chan, Mikoto-chan, and Akira-chan...

Yay! We're in the same class!

- Uhhh... but... - Huh? Is there something else?

Oh! N-n-n-nothing!

- Tenma-chan is in 2-C? - Hey, that's Kenji Harima.

- Tenma-chan is in 2-C? - What's he doing here?

Don't look at him. He'll bash you.

Telepathy! I'll concentrate for ten seconds.

To join class 2-C!

10. Join 2-C. 9. Join 2-C. 8. Join 2-C. 7. Join 2-C.

6. Join 2-C. 5. Join 2-C. 4. Join 2-C.

3. Join 2-C! 2. Join 2-C! 1.

D. I saw it, Mr. Harima. You're in 2-D.

Wh-What was that for?

Awesome power, right? That's what happens when I lose my place.

Crud. 2-D? Me, Kenji Harima?!

"Kenji Harima"

Outside interference!! Get outta my face!!

Gimme back my wish.

Forgive me for being so forward...

Crud! You sure are stupid. Be more like me!

Y-Yes, sir.

Hmph! 2-C, huh? I'll find my name... in one pass!

Huh? Hunnnh...

That's crazy! My name's not there!

Crap! Where's my class, anyway?!

Uh... Uhhh... Huh? Uh? Eh? Oh? Huh? It's not here. My name...

Harima! What're you doing here? You were held back.

That's right.

- How was it, Sis? - I... I still haven't looked.

If you're too scared, shall I check?

Huh? No! I've got to see it with my own eyes!

"Oji Karasuma"

- We're in... the same class!! - Congratulations...

Be counting on your help, Karasuma!

- We're in the same class, huh? - Yes.

But I'm transferring out day after tomorrow.

Waaah. We were finally in the same class, too!

A fleeting dream, wasn't it?

I'm gonna fix it!

But still...

M-Maybe cleaning house will help me think.

I'll think about it after I do the laundry.

Maybe after I do the dishes...

I couldn't think of anything!

Never mind. Go to sleep!

Argh! How can I let it go like this?!

I can't let him go without telling him how I feel...

I'd rather regret something I did than something I didn't do.

I know... I'll tell him!!

I'm only gonna write, "I love you." Hey, that's easy, easy...

"Karasuma, I love... love... love... I'd love to see you ski sometime!"

What am I writing?!

"I love... love... love..."

"Skipping"

Keep cool, keep cool! "Karasuma, I love... sukiyaki!"

No..."I love kung-fu stances."

"I love... being organized."

Rats. I couldn't do it. What'll I do?

Never mind, already.

I'll just write all my true feelings down.

It turned out to be... a long scroll.

"Oji Karasuma" It turned out to be... a long scroll.

That's okay. I poured out my heart to him.

He... He's reading it.

He... He's still reading it.

Ah, I think he's finished reading it...

Now then...

Hmm.

Karasuma's reacting! Could it be good?!

- There's no name signed. - Rats!

It's all over... my first love...

K-Karasuma! He didn't switch schools?!

No. He postponed the transfer.

His parents gave their consent to let him stay a year longer.

Why?! How come?!

Who knows? It seems someone asked him to.

"Don't go. Don't go. Don't go. Please don't go!" Who knows? It seems someone asked him to.

"Don't go. Don't go. Don't go. Please don't go!"

In sophomore class 2-C, Oji Karasuma is the object of Tenma Tsukamoto's affection.

But it's discovered that he is transferring to a school in the U.S.

This compels Tenma to give a love letter to the object of her love.

Despite a monumental effort, her plan ends in failure.

However! The situation takes a sudden turn for the better.

Karasuma postpones his transfer.

And Tenma Tsukamoto's fight is now going to begin!

What a great title. I think I'll borrow it! Ha, ha.

"The Psychology of Love" Due to my earlier experience, I'd better study about love.

"The Psychology of Love"

"The Psychology of Love" Unnh... Unnh... Karasuma...

"The Psychology of Love"

Stupid, stupid! Do you care so little for him?!

"The Art of War" Ah... I just can't concentrate on the printed word.

"The Art of War" Huh?! This is it!

"The Art of War" "Know thyself as thine enemy, and a hundred victories are yours."

"The Art of War" Who wrote this?

"Sonshi" (Sun-tzu) Sonko? Hmm...

"Sonshi" (Sun-tzu) Only a woman would understand a woman's heart!

"Know thyself."

What kind of girl am I?

Tenma Tsukamoto, 16 years old.

Height- 154 cm (5'¾ "). Weight- 43 kg (94.8 lbs).

Looks, figure, average. Probably doesn't stand out in class.

In sports, poor! Studies, poor!

Cooking, poor! Good qualities, zilch...

Can't get discouraged!

I'll read on. Huh?

"Datto" "Undressing... rabbit"?
