I know the reviewer stated that SR is a romance manga, but I think it's pretty clear that it's primarily a comedy rather than a romance. And regarding this:
| Quote: | | The first volume's greatest weakness was that nothing happened. This volume rectifies the situation to a certain extent by putting Harima through love's wringer. However, the fact remains that, outside of this, nothing happens. But, such is high school. |
Don't expect anything to "happen" anytime soon. Or ever. In School Rumble, comedy comes first and romance comes second. leaving the romance unresolved allows the comedy to continue. |

Well, something does happen, to be fair. It involves Harima and two other characters that is not Tenma.
Then again, though, you're right; just more unresolved romances... 
Glad to see it got a good review. I'm looking forward to the rest of the manga in the USA -- I actually haven't read it before outside of actually buying the thing legit, unlike the anime...
*Nice new design, btw!* |

Yeah, I like SR. It's just sad it ends up unresolved for the romances.
And about the new look site, I'd say it's more "ad friendly"  |
