I can see Yakumo falling for Harima, since he's not interested in her she can't read his mind so she won't be scared away.

I want to see Akira laugh too. XD

Amused at how the scene where Karasuma goes to Tenma's house is all shoujo-manga-fied, haha. And it was so nice of Harima to try to give Tenma a gift while saying it was from Karasuma... Sometimes it seems like he's the only one who genuinely recognizes his feelings and sincerely acts on them. :)

This anime is such a tease. I'd like some real romance.
Do you guys know anything similar that actually has some romance in it?

Harima impressed me somewhat in this episode. He tried to convince Tenma that Kurusawa asked him to give those flowers to her, when in reality he was the one who got them and he planned to confess after giving them to her. He realized Tenma would be happiest if they came from Kurusawa, so he tried to act like they were.

Also, after he was called into the manga office, he helped Kurusawa go meet Tenma for her birthday, because he knew that Tenma would be happiest if she saw Kurusawa on the day of her birthday party.

That's some serious selflessness right there.
Some parts of this post may be exaggerated.

Tenma saw through Harima's lie about the flowers but she still thanked them. Aww.

I wonder what Yakumo gave to Harima as a present. They didn't show it.

That game at the end with the bomb was pretty funny.

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I feel like the writer doesn't care about Karasuma, doesn't feel like his objective is to make him "mysterious" or whatever.

Karasuma seems to irrelevant, that if a ship happens with any of the main characters, it would have to be Harima x Tenma.

Another very fun episode. Tenma was a terrible queen. And I wanted to see Akira smile, but seeing her in that fish costume was good as well haha.

Also loved the scene between Harima and Yakumo. I ship them so much.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

This was a fun episode. It was entertaining to see everyone in their punishment costumes. The JoJo reference made me smile even though it was a reference to part 3 which is my least favorite part. >.<

I accidentally saw episode 15 first. It looks like the season has improved in this episode now that it has returned to the romantic comedy route.
Megumi got a decent amount of scenes. She's one of the top beauties in the show for me. I want to screw her so much!

I had so many laughs when Harima was sabotaging Karasuma's manga. That plotline he thought up was hilarious as hell! A baseball game that had Jotaro in it, Dragon Ball power-ups and tournaments, Demon King, and that Love Hina reference! Oh man, I miss Naru. She's the first anime girl I fell for!

Harima x Yakumo moments are the 2nd best in the show.
That penalty game was amusing too.

Damn, this episode... and the previous one back to back. There is no amount of akira and anegasaki than can hold back how School Rumble becomes amazing when it makes me laugh. Tenma's birthday party is hilarious, but even then there's an actual background of sadness behind her mask because of Karasuma missing, and Harima noticed it.

Tsumugi, everyone is asking the same question, what does she see in him. Yeah. And yeah, he's with Harima, obviously, at the comic book job.

...WHAAAAAAAAAAT? Kenshiro reference was a easy target, but Love Hina as well? And didn't notice before?

Togo overenthusiastic as usual, but the classmates have begun to put him in his place.

Nara, that's not that bad as a penalty, your crossdress cosplay looks better than all the ones i tried myself. i'm glad akira lost and her plan lampshaded by Eri backfired. And a fish is actually less emotionless than her.

Ooooh, finally Mai ( <3 ) made a good use of her powerful harisen. There is no hope for Nishimoto, lol.

(save your time and don't try to comfort when i rant on casual discussion or forum games, feel free to ignore me, i won't take it personally)

One of the best episodes School Rumble has to offer so far! This one is packed with good moments. Honestly, I will say this is almost as good as episode 23 last season, which is still my personal favorite.

Starting with my best boy Harima’s self-sacrifice today! From the flower he gave Tenma (a clumsy but heartwarming attempt), to the manga drawing for Kazuma (even though he screwed it up anyway), these are all classic Harima moments. That’s why I think he pairs so well with Eri: both are always thinking of others and have this self-sacrificial streak.

Tenma also has some solid moments in this episode. The flower scene, while I personally think it would've been better if she didn’t say anything, is still very her. I love how the author keeps the characters so consistent throughout the story.

Yakumo, though, is truly the star of the episode, even though it’s her sister’s birthday (Tenma got outshone twice on both of her birthday episodes, haha). I really love how, while everyone ignores Harima’s birthday (Eri literally says ignore this guy. Though to be fair, that shows how well she knows him. Plus, she already covered for his ass during Tenma’s birthday), Yakumo doesn’t. She shows her true waifu quality by always looking out for others, especially Harima. She’s honestly the only person in the show who consistently has his back, whether it’s with his manga or his personal issues.

Even though I personally think Eri is a better match for Harima, the fact that Yakumo is the only one who actually helps him says a lot. She’s a great friend — truly waifu/best bro material. Also, that “laying on top” moment made me blush like a teenage girl. I was genuinely afraid someone would walk in because... you know, anime cliché. But her quiet “Happy Birthday, Harima” really warmed my heart. That’s what my boy at least deserves, you know?

And then there’s Akira, being an absolute queen again, losing on purpose just to wear that ridiculous fish costume. I just want to see her smile, gaaaaah!!

Also, shoutout to Eri’s bald head making a comeback from Episode 20 of Season 1. Haha, serve you right! You can run from baldness, but you can’t hide!
