School Rumble Z (Manga)

*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

School Rumble Z is a sequel of School Rumble.

This is a collection of oneshots with different stories that is far from the main story line of school rumble. The characters are the same on school rumble even the they have different roles every chapter.

It's a diffrent storyline but still the comedy is always there that will make your day complete.

I can't stop laughing...

Don't think about getting the "real" school rumble out of this manga: School Rumble ended in the 283rd chapter. This is only some crappy redemption done by the otherwise great author for abruptly ending the great series.
We can only dream of Harima and Yakumo now, huh...
