School Rumble Ni Gakki (School Rumble 2nd Semester)

It was the Bunkabunsei era,

When at a certain teahouse along the highway...

- Here you are. - Thank you.

Yummy!

Samurai-san, you sure are lucky.

Our dumplings are the best tasting all along the highway.

Indeed.

That would explain why your business is doing so well.

Is something the matter?

The truth is, the medicine our sick father needs costs a lot,

and we can't pay back the money we borrowed from the Tennoji moneylenders.

Cough... cough...

If we don't pay them back by the deadline,

they've ordered us to move out.

What?!

The Tennoji are in league with the local officials,

and are charging unreasonable interest.

What a terrible story!

But you can relax. I may not be much of a samurai,

but I will stand up for you!

Really?!

T-thank you so much.

We can sure count on you, Samurai-san!

No problem!

And so, on the day of the deadline...

T-that's awful. This is the end for that teahouse.

Okay, why don't you pay everything you owe us now?

I beg you, please wait just a little longer.

Okay, I'll take you as payment.

Eh? Um...

Wait! If you're going to take anyone, take me!

Nope.

Only pretty girls are in demand.

We're pulling out of here, men!

Wait! Wait, wait!

I am Hanai Yasaburo Haruki, head of the Hanai family!

I cannot look past your violent behavior any longer!

With my secret sword skills, I-

What?!

Who are you?!

It would seem that you are no amateur.

If that's how it's going to be...

Boss! Boss of the Tennoji!

He's huge!

How 'bout that?! If you're going to apologize, now's the time!

B-Boss!

- Incredible... - By any chance, is your name...

Mangoku.

But why?! Why isn't it Yakushamaru Koji?!

Tsukamoto-san...

It's because this is Schoorum.

Our generation really enjoys itself!

It may be an easily injured generation,

but it's sentimental, Our generation

Time ticks away the same for everyone,

but if we have the things we love, that's enough.

We may go running round and round over this and that,

but we're still more sentimental than the adults.

Our generation is building the future!

We have easily injured hearts, which make us

sentimental, round and round

Our generation really enjoys itself!

It may be an easily injured generation,

but it's sentimental, Our generation

"This has been the period drama version of Schoorum."

"We now bring you the modern version of Schoorum."

My name is Harima Kenji.

I am in love with my classmate, Tsukamoto Tenma.

I have endeavored to declare my love to her time and again,

but have failed each time.

In that time, I discovered a shocking truth.

Tenma-chan was in love with Karasuma,

the absolute biggest oddball in our class!

It's not possible!

In a fit of despair, I started to draw manga.

But misfortune came upon me.

A manga artist that I respected, Nijou Jou, turned out to be Karasuma!

Further, I had my beard cut off, was shaved bald,

and ended up in a misunderstanding over love with the blond Rich Girl.

Finally, I fled Japan, but while at sea, I ran into a teacher of life's lessons.

I was reborn on the rough seas!

I then returned to Japan,

where I drew the manga of my soul with the pen I got from my teacher!

Yes! I became a full-fledged man,

so that I could once again express my love to Tenma-chan!

Hey, Nara-chi!

- Go buy me a can of coffee. - Okay.

Yoshidayama-kun, you should get out of there.

It's okay. Harima isn't around, after all.

H-here, be my guest. I was warming your seat up for you, Harima-san.

Thanks.

I have some bananas here. Have one?

Oh, thank you. Aren't you thoughtful?

Harima!

You'd skip out on school this close to the culture festival?!

Where have you been off wasting time?!

Shut up.

Tenma-chan, where have you gone off to?

Harima-kun, got a second?

What do you want, Itoko?

Call me Osakabe-sensei while we're at school.

I forgot to give it to you this morning, but a postcard came for you.

Dankosha?

It's something you've been expecting.

"From: Dankosha To: Harima Kenji-sama" It's something you've been expecting.

"From: Dankosha To: Harima Kenji-sama" I-i-it couldn't be!

"You have been selected for our special prize. Congratulations."

I did it! The New Face Prize!

I can use this momentum to make my declaration!

Where are you?! Where are you, Tenma-chan?!

- Lf you're looking for Tenma, she's on the roof. - Oh, thank you!

Just you wait, Tenma-chan!

Well, sure, love is a matter of personal liberty,

and I don't want to butt into your affairs, Yakumo.

But still, how can you say you're going to stay over at Sarah-chan's house,

when you're actually up until the morning with Harima-kun?

Well, I...

O-oh, no! Younger Sister is in a tight spot because of me!

For my part, I've never done anything like that with Karasuma-kun,

so I'm jealous- ahem...

Even though you may be seeing Harima-kun,

I think this is something of a problem.

No! You've got it wrong, Tenma-chan!

Younger Sister couldn't help but lend me a hand all night,

so that I could meet the deadline for my manga!

But the manga thing is supposed to be a secret!

Yakumo, you're either too nice,

or frankly, just acquiescent towards others, you know?

To boys, that makes you look

like a girl who is easy for them to take control over!

That's why you have to be more careful!

If Harima-kun turns into too much of an ape on you...

...you've got to tell him off good and hard!

I'm sorry.

What are you apologizing for, Younger Sister?!

Hold on a minute there, Tsukamoto!

- Harima-kun! - Harima-san...

Harima-kun, this is none of your business. Don't stick your nose in!

This is a matter between me and Yakumo.

I'm very much involved. Your sister and I were-

Bananas!

You can't use these to just sweep this under the rug!

That's not what I intended.

Tsukamoto, I understand that you are concerned.

But please take it easy.

After all, your sister just spent the night at my place, and that's all that-

Ehh?! You stayed at Harima-kun's house?!

I thought for sure you were at a family restaurant,

or riding together on his bike, or something!

N-no, by my "place," I mean... um... we were at Ito- Osakabe-sensei's place!

Itoko-sensei's house? I don't think you're leveling with me.

Believe me, Tsukamoto!

We haven't done anything to be ashamed of! Honest!

Look into my eyes! Are these the eyes of a liar?!

Y-you're so cute, Tenma-chan...

Aha! Clammy sweat!

Oh, no!!

S-still, believe me!

Your sister hasn't done anything to betray you!

All right. I believe you.

Tsukamoto?

The only reason why I was angry

was because Yakumo didn't tell me the truth.

After all, I missed her, you know?

We two sisters are all each other have, after all.

Sis...

So long as you understand that... So long as you understand that...

From now on, you two go on living happily together.

Right! I will be sure to make your sister happy!

Uh...

- Yeah, that's my Harima-kun! - Harima-san...

- I'll be counting on you! - No... I didn't mean...

H-how did this happen?!

Kenji-kun, are you sure I can keep this video camera?

That's what you were planning in the first place, isn't it?

Using my name to enter for that prize?

"You have been selected for our special prize. Congratulations." Using my name to enter for that prize?

"You have been selected for our special prize. Congratulations." I have no luck when it comes to raffles, and all. I feel kind of bad about it.

"You have been selected for our special prize. Congratulations."

Now that I've settled that matter with Yakumo,

I have to give it my all, too!

Howdy!

They're the costumes we're going to wear at the culture festival.

Karasuma-kun is looking pretty cool, isn't he?

His pose has also evolved from what it was earlier, huh?

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm!

? Tonight, such a graceful crescent moon?

? Reborn every day, every night, shining brighter?

You really do look great, Karasuma-kun...

And then, that momentum will carry us to...

A music producer?!

I came because I'd heard rumors about an amazing band,

but this is more than I expected.

Want to make your pro debut?

Y-you mean it?!

We did it, Karasuma-kun! We're going to make our pro debut together!

Oh, we don't need you.

You can't sing or play an instrument, right?

O-oh, yeah...

Karasuma-kun... Karasuma-kun is going to go far away...
