School Rumble Z (Manga)

School Rumble Z is your dessert for the incredible School Rumble epic.

Needless to say, the original series is required reading for anyone wanting to read this series, since a lot of the humor is in the characters' personalities.

Although made up of the original characters, for the most part, the stories are unrelated to the main plot. Although some chapters might be considered canon without conflicting with the main story.

In particular, the last few chapters try to provide some closure to the story. Not to give anything away, but in my opinion, school rumble Z's ending is definitely more satisfying than how it ended in the main series.

If you've finished School Rumble and find yourself wanting more, this is definitely what you're looking for. read more

*This is my first time to write a review so please cut me some slack =P*
First of all for those who are planning to read this manga, let me just make it clear that just because it has 'Z' added, its not like Dragon Ball Z or something like the DBZ parody in the anime.

--Well Enough about that. SRZ (School Rumble Z) still follows the everyday life of Harima Kenji and the misunderstandings between him and Temna and Eri! But unlike 'School Rumble', SRZ doesn't follow the setting of highschool.
Every chapter of School Rumble Z has a different setting and the characters gets a different role everytime. This makes it easier for the author to come up with a funny and random story for every chapter.

For Example, the first chapter (spoiler warning, sorry), the setting was old Japan; the time of samurai's, wherein there is a detective (Harima Kenji) in pursuit of a group of thieves (Tenma sisters and Akira) that steals from the rich (Sawachika) and they give what they stole to the poor.

Then on the second chapter, it was 'Van Helsing' (lemme just end it here)

So by that, you can never expect what is to happen in the next chapter.


--About the characters, it's the same. The same cast with the same personality. Harima is still inlove with Temna and is still that a hopeless person. Tenma, still an airhead, Eri is still a princess, Imadori is still a pervert and Hanai is still that... That... Whatever he is like and so on... read more
