Poor Harima, Tenma put him out, and he's all alone in the cold...
Harima and Sawachika, they do a good couple, but i would like that Harima gets with Yakumo, but i think thats impossible, lol

HAHA! Great and funny episode (as always). "So, Eri, feeling a bit warm in the nether regions?" - Mikoto
Also, I laughed so hard at Harima pretending to be Mikoto during the bath scene, and I watch the dub so it was funnier. "Ausso? Who the heck are you talking about?" <-- that was hilarious.

Damn it Tenma, you have got to be the most stupidest character I've ever seen. She takes things way out of context and even throws Harima out in the cold; I don't know how Yakumo can put up with her. One more strike and she's done.

While anyway, the bath scene was very funny and Harima and Eri get some alone time next episode. I still like Harima+Yakumo more though.

this was the most hilarious episode yet.

Tenma was a bitch for no real reason, and never gives anyone a chance to explain anything. Yakumo is rather cool though.

Oh man the Harima/Mikoto interactions were hilarious especially the bath scene with Eri. Harima getting rid of Asou, and the "fart" oh man the whole thing was great.

Poor Harima still can't get any work done. He does look different without his glasses, but wow at her not being able to recognize him.

Wow so many 5 out of 5 votes! I can see why! This episode was awesome. Eri's 3 measurements are a secret LOL! It's honestly so hard just to watch 1 episode and stop. MUST WATCH MORE!!! Many LOL moments.

That entire bathroom scene was a riot. Mikoto was great in this ep.

Another great episode! That bath scene was freaking hilarious! I love how Harima really wanted to get out of that situation. Harima made it look like Suou doesn't like men. XD

Suou a pretty good friend.

I love where this is going. Escaping from the butler! I wonder where they are going. Time for some HarimaXEri moments?!

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

Karasuma stole the spotlight from Itoko.

And what a turn of events. Harima was thrown out and ended up at the dojo with Mikoto and Eri. The bath scene was super funny and the way it ended haha.

Per my estimates, Eri's chest is bigger than Tenma's and smaller than Mikochin's. The episode was funny and Tenma is an awful sister. All of Harima's potential love connections seem impossible but I like Eri the best. I'm deffinetly reading the manga after the anime.

Tenma was very funny in the first half.  And of course, Harima-Eri FTW

Aww man! Harima made a bad impression on Tenma just when things were going great for them, and he got kicked out already. I wanted more Harima x Tenma moments. I wonder if he'll be able to fix it.

Hilarious Eri x Harima moments, especially in the bath scene! It's too bad Harima has zero feelings for her. Isn't he aware that Eri has feelings for him?
Excellent Eri fanservice! I don't care about her three measurements. She's sexy, and I want to screw her!

i'll admit, i thought it was Tenma snowboarding instead of Itoko, it was too weird, and in fact...

oh, no, the worst arc has officially started. Even if i just can't hate her, this is painful, painful to the max for Harima x Tenma people like me.

Mikoto is sweet, giving hospitality to Harima in this phase of trouble. Oh, well, there is a redeeming moment in this episode... Eri and Mikoto martial arts sparring match, and the former looks great in a gi as well.

as much as forced weddings are bad, i'd rather see Eri dragged down in it rather than shipped with Harima. Yes, i went there.

@_untitled You are one of the very rare Harima x Tenma people I’ve ever found! May I ask why you are so against Harima x Eri? I feel like, of all the characters, they just have the best chemistry, both in comedy and heart-to-heart moments. I feel like Harima x Tenma is rather forced, and they’re never that funny, though. They do have good moments, like the camping one and the present-choosing one, but I feel like they’re more on the level of friends, you know?

I cannot wait for the next episode! This one really feels like it's building up to something great. Let’s talk about some of the standout moments, shall we?

First of all, our star today is definitely Mikoto! I’m so glad she’s getting more time to shine! And wow, for the first time, she’s got control and is pulling the strings, and she’s so good at it! She’s usually the butt of everyone's joke when it comes to her love life, so seeing her take charge when she’s got the home field advantage feels incredibly satisfying.

Jokes aside, I honestly think, besides Yakumo, Mikoto cares about Harima the most as a friend. There are brief moments I’ve noticed (though I can’t recall all the specifics) where she’s the one asking, “Where’s Harima?” or looking after him in small ways. So it’s great seeing her take him in this episode and act like a total bro, even shipping him with Eri. Great job, Mikoto!

Also... screw Tenma. She just got better last episode, and now she ruins it for me again.

Alright, after Yakumo dominated the spotlight for the past few episodes, it’s finally time for the fan-favorite heroine to return: Eri. And of course, it’s with the classic rich-girl fake marriage setup. I already had a suspicion something was off when she went out to eat with another guy on Tenma’s birthday. Great foreshadowing, show!

I love the fact that she doesn’t recognize Harima, which will definitely set up some real heart-to-heart moments and some amazing comedy in the next episode. I swear I’m not just saying this because of the bandwagon, but Eri and Harima seriously have the best chemistry in this entire show.

Romance aside, they’re also behind some of the funniest comedy moments in the whole series: the naked deadlock, the bald incident, and my personal favorite: the fart scene. Oh my gosh, I’ve never laughed so hard. What makes it even funnier is that Eri isn’t even written as a comedy character; her personality leans way more into drama and romance, but when paired with Harima, the jokes land so hard. Their dynamic is gold.

And of course, our boy Harima — being an absolute chad again. OMG HE’S HANDSOME AF!! I love how the fart thing he does it on purpose to chase Eri off. Like, how genius you have to be, Harima! I wish you were also this smart when it comes to Tenma haha. I can’t wait to see what all this buildup leads to. If the next episode is on the same writing level as Season 1 Episode 23 (the dance episode), I’m genuinely considering bumping School Rumble to an 8!
