| School Rumble (Manga) | comment |
Idiot delinquent (Harima) has a secret, obsessive crush on an even more clueless classmate (Tenma), who is in love with a complete oddball (Karasuma), who is in love with food (curry). Tenma's quiet, gentle sister Yakumo, her ojou friend Eri, and the hot school nurse may or may not have feelings for Harima, depending on the rumors you believe and the time of day. Also, both Tenma and Harima's cousin Itoko think Harima is in a relationship with Yakumo. Class rep Hanai is loudly in love with Yakumo (thus seeing Harima as his rival), while two or three girls may or may not have feelings for him. Also, there is Ichijo, who likes Imadori, who likes Mikoto, who likes one of her ex-sempais, who got a girlfriend since the last time she saw him. And so forth. Failed confessions, confessions to the wrong people, and relationship misunderstandings abound.You will rarely take any of this seriously.School Rumble is ostensibly a high school romantic comedy, but in practice it's really more of a Gag Series that relies more on character interaction than actual progress in relationships. It also loves to parody other series, including Initial D, Fist of the North Star, Dragon Ball Z, Battle Royale, Iron Chef, Star Wars, and Ghost (1990).The original manga by Jin Kobayashi ran in Weekly Shonen Magazine from 2002 to 2009. It has an anime adaptation that consists of two 26-episode seasons, each covering a term of the school year, as well as two 2-episode OVAs: the first centered on the first term, and the second centered on the very end of their high school life. The second season ends with the characters planning the class trip that forms the first major arc of the third term. The second OVA ends with the characters having a class reunion some time after they have all graduated high school, but occurring presumably not beyond their first year of college .The end of the manga was followed by a brief sequel manga, School Rumble Z, which is not quite a sequel but an alternate universe. | |

Stroke the Beard: When Harima crashes Hanai's mock wedding. Eri accidentally chops Harima's beard while he's asleep. When he starts going for his beard during his sleep, the girls hilariously grab Eri's pigtail so he will stroke it instead and not suspect anything. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: A subversion; the anime's version of the Survival Game story was played much more seriously than the manga version. Unlike in the manga, none of the students ever broke character, acted like they were just playing a game, or acknowledged that they were only using airsoft guns (compare a bit in the manga where some girls get ambushed from behind and go "You're kidding! I've been shot! By who?!", while in the anime they simply fall over "dead"). The whole thing is much more dramatic, serious and over-the-top as a result- which also only makes it more ridiculous and hilarious. | |

Comedic Work, Serious Scene | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_1849f58e | comment |
Comedic Work, Serious Scene: It's a zany slice-of-life high-school romantic comedy. That being said: In one episode, Eri is planning to make dinner for her Father, and has bought all of the ingredients. Just as she's about to head home, her Father's limo pulls up alongside her, and he tells her that he's very sorry, but he's being called out of the country on business. He offers her a ride home, but she states she's fine walking. The limo drives off. Cue Gray Rain of Depression. Harima happens by and offers to share his umbrella with her, if she's not going far. Yakumo is menaced by a ghost in one episode (actually her own subconscious manifesting through her psychic powers), that asks her if she hates men, or actually likes them. It's not played at all for laughs. Mikoto finds out that the tutor she was crushing on went and got himself a girlfriend when he went off to college, and she has to pretend to be happy about it, even as her heart breaks. Mikoto comes across Harima, locked out of his cousin's apartment for the Christmas holiday, and pulls a Batman Gambit to get past his pride and get him to stay in her family's dojo for the holidays. This is at the same time that she's also hiding Eri from an Arranged Marriage. | |

Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: The music video for the opening theme, "SCRAMBLE!", appears in a billboard. Itoko sings the first season end theme in her sleep. And tapes and plays it to taunt Harima at one point. Tenma sings the "SCRAMBLE!" chorus in the pool episode. | |

| School Rumble (Manga) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Most of the plot would be resolved if every character would be a bit more forward. Most of the plot would never happen in the first place if Tenma (and to a lesser extent, Harima) didn't misinterpret literally everything she sees or hears before taking decisive (and disruptive) action. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
The manga introduces what looks to be two important plot elements that throw fuel to the Eri/Harima and Yakumo/Harima factions, then bitchslaps both camps (and everyone else) by aborting it via a Time Skip and two inconclusive chapters that reset what character development Harima had managed to obtain. The ending of School Rumble Z seems to hint at Eri/Harima, but it's not clear whether the brief image of them with a child is the actual future or not. | |

Genre Deconstruction | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_23e32a30 | comment |
Genre Deconstruction: The entire series seems to start out as a deconstruction of a shonen love comedy by replacing the ditzy female protagonist we so often see with a badass male delinquent. The first two chapters make it pretty obvious. Another good example is when Eri walks in on Harima in the nude; usually it's the other way around. The actual ditzy female protagonist (Tenma) is a total Butt-Monkey whose affections are frequently spurned and who is the object of ridicule from friends, classmates, and even the narrator. | |

Unspoken Retort: Tsugumi, in a flashback, recalls a time she broke her glasses. Hanai collected the shards of glass for her, and then offered to pedal her bike for her to get her home. She thinks he's like a samurai or knight...until he asks how much she weighs before they set out on the bike (from Hanai's perspective necessary to determine if he was capable of making the effort), to which Tsugumi dejectedly thinks, "So much for my knight in shining armor." She nevertheless does develop a one-sided crush on him. | |

Hidden Depths: Many of the characters who seem rather quirky, not bright or otherwise odd have this side to them. Examples are Harima and Karasuma, who are both secretly professional mangaka. Ironically, their mutual love interest Tenma is hopeless at almost every subject in school except art (and Japanese history, oddly enough). | |

Harima was one in his middle school days, and he still gives this vibe in high school due to still getting in fights, his looks and slacking attitude towards school - even though he still means well and only really cares about winning Tenma's affections. | |

Lethal Chef | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_35ae6a23 | comment |
In preparation for the cultural festival, the girls of 2C practise making onigiri and try to get their male classmates to guess who made which. Harima is very determined to eat Tenma's to incorporate this trope, even though he knows how horrible she is. In the end, the onigiri he thinks is Tenma's (because of how bad it tastes) is actually Eri's (who unsurprisingly is pleased) - he finds out when eating Tenma's real ones that hers are much worst than he anticipated. | |

Fight Bell Hijinks: During the preparations for the School Festival, all the girls in class prepare rice balls with the challenge of the guys trying to figure out which girl made which set of rice balls. Harima is determined to find Tenma's rice balls. He's Genre Savvy enough to know that Tenma is probably a Lethal Chef, but is determined to tell her that hers are the best to earn her affection. He finds a set that look awful, and tries them, finding them to be awful. Then he learns that Eri Sawachika made that set. Then he's presented with Tenma's, which are somehow cube shaped, and taste so awful that he is left on the floor in pain. Then Eri and Tenma ask him to take care of the leftovers (i.e., all the ones they made). After finishing off Tenma's, he's lying on the floor, hearing a bell, declaring Tenma the winner, as he imagines her in boxing garb doing practice jabs. | |

Plot Tumor | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_3b16449 | comment |
Plot Tumor: Tenma. The Flag, Riceball & Kid's Meal pairings overtake her and she loses prominence as main character... then for no reason at all she becomes the focal point of the finale without resolving any of the pairings. That said, it might not be a tumor at all. Most of the other drama occurs with Harima, who was established as the main male protagonist from the outset, so for the plot to focus heavily on his stories isn't really that much of a change. The lack of a resolution, on the other hand, probably gave most of the readers a tumor. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Karasuma turns out to have loved Tenma all along, but pretended not to notice her because of his disease that caused him to have memory loss. While in his hospital bed, he pours out all his feelings to who he thinks is the real Tenma, but which turns out to be an hallucination caused by his illness. The real Tenma is in fact, just outside the hospital, and never hears it. But through Tenma's efforts, he is showing signs of regaining his memories, or at the least falling in love with her again. | |

Important Haircut: Lampshaded and parodied as Harima's facial and head hair change several times in the series as a consequence of various quirks in the plot.

Forgiving the Accidental Pervert: During the Beach Episode, Eri walks in on Harima while he's naked. Realizing that she's about to scream, which would set off a Not What It Looks Like situation, he grabs and restrains her, only to realize that he's now put himself in an even worse situation. He decides to explain to Eri but ends up saying, "You keep quiet." in the creepiest way imaginable. It's at this point that Akira walks in, and she correctly guesses the series of events that led to the current situation, saying at the end, "Don't worry, Harima. I don't think you're a pervert. But you are a total screw-up." | |

Not What It Looks Like: The traditional reaction subverted in one case, where Harima and Eri are in a very suspect position and Akira walks in, stares at them for a moment, and then correctly guesses the unintentional events that lead them to where they were. Particularly notable as even Eri didn't realise it wasn't what it looked like, and believed Harima was actually trying to force himself on her (Akira's observation presumably cleared that up, but it still took her a long time to get over it). Played straight with Harima's initial meeting with Tenma in middle school after she wakes up in his room with him on top of her. Eri walking in on Harima and Mikoto in public and thinks they're on a date. Tae jumping Harima and witnessed by 5 students. | |

Malingering Romance Ploy | |

Malingering Romance Ploy: When Nurse Anegasaki starts at the school, the perverts of Class 2-C get themselves banged up in order to be near her. They're very put out to find Harima already there and in Anegasaki's enthusiastic embrace, though to be fair, Harima hadn't known Anegasaki was there, and she and Harima had a bit of a history. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_60547993 | comment |
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Now and then Harima gives in and gives Tenma a chance to bond with Karasuma, such as covering Karasuma's mangaka duties while he visits Tenma on her birthday. Despite her developing feelings for him, Yakumo does her best to give Harima some moments with Tenma after she realizes his feelings, even faking illness so that Tenma can go and help Harima with his manga instead. Happens a lot after the Cerebus Syndrome kicks in, especially in the ending. Harima goes all out when he decides to take Tenma to the airport to fly to America to see Karasuma, and Karasuma's revealed to have purposely acted indifferently towards Tenma and reject her so she won't get too attached to him until his sickness overtakes him. | |

Expressive Hair: There's also Tenma's little wiggling pigtails. It's even lampshaded in a manga omake where her pig tails demonstrate her happy and sad moods... and then one scene has one pigtail on the side as normal and the other pigtail on top of her head, to indicate she's confused/absentminded (in the anime equivalent of this scene, it's because she wants to remind herself to watch a TV show at 9pm). | |

Unwanted Harem: Subverted. Tae is the only one who expresses open attraction toward Harima. He treats Yakumo only as his friend and Eri as someone he owes a debt too but doesn't like. He calls Yakumo by her name a few times but beyond that never seems to actually learn anyone's name, probably because he's so singularly obsessed with "Tenma-chan". | |

Don't Try This at Home | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_71e514b5 | comment |
Don't Try This at Home: The manga actually likes using this trope, having it written in the margins of a page at least once a volume, such as: When Tenma leaves a bathroom through the window, several stories above the ground, using a pair of plungers to go down the wall. This warning is actually displayed while she does this. When Tougou is riding in the sidecar of Harry's motorcycle, but instead of sitting strapped in, he's standing up with one foot up on the front. Parodied when Imadori eats a shoelace. | |

Comic Role Play Tenma helps practice Harima confess to his crush... which is her. Harima understandably is too embarrassed to say his confession to her properly, and Tenma berates him for being a wimp. She then tries to pretend to be him by sporting a fake moustache/goatee and stealing his sunglasses. Harima does this a few times with Yakumo when thinking about his manga plot. | |

Large Ham: Masatsugu Tougou - the American national anthem or flag constantly playing/shown in the background while he makes his speeches doesn't help. And, in a more meta example, Tenma and Harima's English voice actors ham up just about everything they say. It works. Gloriously. It certainly helps that anything Luci Christian says is automatically cute. Hanai as well. "For the class, and for myself ... TIME FOR TEA!" The announcer for the cavalry battle too. He is clearly having way too much fun commenting on the match. | |

Right for the Wrong Reasons: When Yakumo points out that the female lead of Harima's manga looks like Tenma and the hero looks like himself, Harima mistakenly believes that she's worked out that he has a crush on Tenma... because she can read minds. In fact, Yakumo can read minds, but only of guys who are attracted to her, making Harima one of the precious few guys she can't read (she actually suspected Harima had feelings for Tenma because he doesn't actually do a very good job of hiding it at all, particularly with how obvious the resemblance of the characters in his manga is). | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Used mini-plotwise in the Manga: Madoka seeing other men behind Shigeo's back. One account semi-witnessed by Shigeo himself (who doesn't know what's going on) and another by Suga, for which Madoka uses a kiss (presumably his first) to 'keep him quiet'. Though, it is revealed later in the Manga that in the end, Shigeo and Madoka are still dating (which either means they resolved the issue or it was never brought to Shigeo's attention). | |

Psychic Powers | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_874176be | comment |
Psychic Powers: Both of the Tsukamoto sisters can see ghosts. Also, Tenma can effortlessly bend spoons, while her younger sister Yakumo can read the minds of any guys who are interested in her (along with some special cases) as well as animals (though that doesn't mean she can understand them). Tenma's power has absolutely no impact on the plot (used only once, as an aside), but Yakumo's power is a key aspect of her character. | |

Speaking Up for Another: to a misunderstanding, Tenma is furious with Harima. She goes on a rant to Eri about his many negative qualities, most of which Eri agrees with. However, when Tenma calls Harima a pervert, Eri voices her disagreement with that. She has cause to know, having spent the night with him while on the run from an Arranged Marriage. She says that Harima has many bad qualities, but being a pervert is not one of them. | |

Tormented Teacher: Tani tries to be a Nice Guy, and he's actually one of the few at the school who is impressed with Harima's improvement. But he is also a Butt-Monkey who has a class of extreme personalities, has had a couple of moments with Harima where the two were Mistaken for Gay (Harima's withdrawal letter ended up in the envelope he gave Tenma, meaning Tani got the love letter intended for Tenma, and on another occasion Harima wanted to invite Tenma to the movies, but she'd moved off, so he'd accidentally asked Tani). Then, when the attractive new School Nurse, Tae Anagasaki gives him some homemade cookies as a way of introducing herself, they're eaten by Tani's rival, Kato, homeroom teacher of Class 2-D. | |

He offers her a ride home, but she states she's fine walking. The limo drives off. Cue Gray Rain of Depression.

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: The episodes of the anime are made up of three segments. In most episodes, all three segments have their own titles, which make up the entire episode naming (the two season finales being exceptions). And all three titles have common written elements between one another! In the manga, all the chapters are named after movies. Some examples from the first volume: "Death Race 2003", "Broken Arrow", "Rain Man", "Enter the Dragon", "Speed", etc. | |

Hypocritical Humor: In the camping episode, Yakumo chastises Eri for listening in on Tenma and Harima even though she's doing the same. In Chapter 195, Eri gets called an angry girl by Lala. | |

Lost in Translation | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_b7920c43 | comment |
Lost in Translation: Some of the jokes revolve around words sounding similar in Japanese and although they try, the jokes aren't quite as funny (if funny at all). The most prominent example is when Harima talks to Yakumo about Itoko and refers to her as "My itoko (cousin)". Yakumo gets the wrong idea. | |

Thundering Herd: A variant in the Nigakki opening - Hanai and Harima aren't being angrily pursued, but they're still (angrily) running in front of the rest of the male cast. Occurs in the last episode of Nigakki, where Harima is being pursued by Tenma who's annoyed that he's ignoring her... followed by a whole lot of other pissed off male students who have heard rumours that he has private photos of Tae. | |

Through His Stomach | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_c0594195 | comment |
Through His Stomach: Constantly comes up in the series, especially when Tenma, Eri and Yakumo are concerned. Tenma thinks Yakumo is doing this when she starts bringing an extra lunchbox for school - however she finds out the extra lunch is for the stray cat, who would eventually join the sisters as Iori. Tenma tries to get closer to Karasuma by first making curry for him, except it backfires when she accidentally brings two lunchboxes full of rice (while Yakumo had the two lunchboxes of curry). Gets better when Karasuma suggests turning the rice into onigiri, and afterward she starts bringing them for him and herself. invoked Eri prepares to do this for her dad for a rare dinner together. Unfortunately after grocery shopping he tells her he has an urgent business trip to go to. Tenma once trickes Yakumo into giving Harima a lunch box, set with a heart shape no less. In preparation for the cultural festival, the girls of 2C practise making onigiri and try to get their male classmates to guess who made which. Harima is very determined to eat Tenma's to incorporate this trope, even though he knows how horrible she is. In the end, the onigiri he thinks is Tenma's (because of how bad it tastes) is actually Eri's (who unsurprisingly is pleased) - he finds out when eating Tenma's real ones that hers are much worst than he anticipated. | |

Intra-Scholastic Rivalry | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_c5332471 | comment |
Intra-Scholastic Rivalry: There is a heated rivalry between Class 2-C and Class 2-D, spurred on by many personal rivalries, such as the three exchange students from 2-D, Harry, Togo, and Lara having personal rivalries with Harima, Hanai, and Karen respectively. At one point, Harima and Hanai lose the entirety of their class to 2-D in a mahjong match. It should be noted that for the most part, these are Friendly Rivalries, as Harima and Togo actually join a basketball team together, and it is not uncommon to see Lara and Karen shopping together or having lunch with each other. When a nascent girls' basketball team forms at the school, several of the male characters, and Tenma, come together to form the rival "Outlaws" team and challenge them to a match. Class 2-C has a division between those who want to put on a play for the upcoming culture fest and those who want to do a cafe. This initially has a game of pool hockey form to see which side can win (at the start of Season 1). By the time Season 2 rolls around, the friction over doing a play or a cafe has reached a point where the two sides actually conduct a war game at night to decide the victor (strangely played for both drama and comedy at the same time), but still ends in a draw. A P.E. teacher who is disciplining the class for the late night shenanigans tells them they should just do both, which ends up being the solution. | |

That Came Out Wrong: Subverted when Harima and Tenma are taking cover in a cabin from the rain - see the Take Off Your Clothes entry. Played straight when a naked Harima puts Eri in an arm lock and covers her mouth to keep her from screaming after she walks in on him looking for his swimsuit. He tries to tell her not to scream, but instead says, "You, keep quiet." He immediately realizes that he said the creepiest thing possible, and wonders what to do next, when Akira comes in and accurately sums up the situation, telling Harima that she didn't think he was a pervert, just a complete screw-up. | |

Macho Disaster Expedition: Subverted hilariously. The four main girls agree to have a swimming race with a group of boys they met at the local pool, the cost of their losing being having to go out on a date with them, and if the girls win, the boys have to buy them an extremely expensive meal. Tenma can't swim, but figures among her three friends (one of whom is extremely athletic), one of the girls is surely fast enough to beat the boys. When they jump into the water, all four girls sink straight to the bottom. Turns out none of them could swim and were all thinking the same thing Tenma was. | |

Art Evolution | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: There is a notable change in art style in the series, becoming more sketchy and detailed - compare the OVA episodes and last round of chapters (and School Rumble Z) to the first two seasons and the beginning of the manga. | |

No Ending | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_ea2e9f2d | comment |
No Ending: The manga introduces what looks to be two important plot elements that throw fuel to the Eri/Harima and Yakumo/Harima factions, then bitchslaps both camps (and everyone else) by aborting it via a Time Skip and two inconclusive chapters that reset what character development Harima had managed to obtain. The ending of School Rumble Z seems to hint at Eri/Harima, but it's not clear whether the brief image of them with a child is the actual future or not. The anime suffers from the same fate albeit a slightly less depressing one (seeing as Karasuma appears to be recovering at a faster rate). | |

All Just a Dream | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_ea85d6ea | comment |
All Just a Dream: The one where Hanai lands on a strange island populated by people who look like his classmates. The manga shows that is was just a story invented by Akira. Although the anime leaves it more ambiguous. While it probably happened, it could have just been some crazy hallucination Hanai had. (Although that doesn't explain where he got the poncho.) | |

Divided into Disaster | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_eb72fe07 | comment |
Divided into Disaster: during the Beach Episode the boys offer to teach the girls to swim. Harima screws up the order, pairing Hanai with arch nemesis Akira, Imadori with Mikoto, whom he's constantly perving on, and himself with Eri, whom he's just had an unpleasant encounter with involving her walking in on him naked and restraining her to keep her from screaming. In another episode, they're doing a courage test in the woods, and pairing off. Once again, poor Mikoto is paired with Imadori. When we next see them, Imadori is out cold, and Mikoto says he learned a valuable lesson about hands and always keeping them to himself. Harima, meanwhile, is paired with Tenma. The problem with this is that while Harima is infatuated with Tenma, she's currently furious with him because of a misunderstanding, believing, mistakenly, that he's been hitting on all the girls in their class AND her kid sister, Yakumo. Yakumo, meanwhile, is paired with Eri, both of them interested in Harima. | |

Deconstructed Character Archetype: Harima is the delinquent hero whose life is changed when he falls in love with Tenma. It's only then does he realize how pointless his life has been so he decides to be a manga artist. Tenma hides her loneliness by being the Genki Girl. Yakumo seems like a Yamato Nadeshiko but really she's an Extreme Doormat. Eri's Tsundere qualities alienate people. Nara is a Ridiculously Average Guy who expects to get an Unwanted Harem, but never does. | |

But Now I Must Go: Eri invites Harima to her house overnight to work on the school album. To get him to reveal his feelings, Eri's butler cosplays as a character from Harima's favorite show and fights him. Harima leaves the house without revealing his feelings because that's how the episode ended. | |

Friendly Rivalry | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_fbd5fda1 | comment |
There is a heated rivalry between Class 2-C and Class 2-D, spurred on by many personal rivalries, such as the three exchange students from 2-D, Harry, Togo, and Lara having personal rivalries with Harima, Hanai, and Karen respectively. At one point, Harima and Hanai lose the entirety of their class to 2-D in a mahjong match. It should be noted that for the most part, these are Friendly Rivalries, as Harima and Togo actually join a basketball team together, and it is not uncommon to see Lara and Karen shopping together or having lunch with each other. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: In one early Yakumo-centric episode, Hanai attempts to show her the practicalities of martial arts. He attempts to grab her but can't due to her being able to read his mind. He then ponders out loud how she can be so smart when her sister is the biggest klutz in the school. Cue an incredibly sinister look and Hanai is suddenly made to eat the floor. One of the very few times she ever gets angry. Revisited with a stiff left-handed slap to Eri's face in volume 17 for nearly the same reason. | |

Brick Joke | |
| School Rumble (Manga) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: At the end of episode 22 Harima mentions that he has to go feed Napoleon. The next episode starts with a student tripping over a pig. Harima's reaction? "Oh there you are, Napoleon." In the first episode, Yoshidaiyama tells Harima he saw his name on the D-class roster. When Harima checks, he sees that it's another student's name. Many, many episodes later, we get to meet that other student, Harry McKenzie, a homophone for Harima Kenji in Japanese. We meet him as Hanai is making the same mistake, thinking the name he heard was Harima's. While checking the boards for his name, Harima is confronted by a teacher. That same teacher's face is later seen much later as the face of the "Flunk-Out Phantom". | |
