Still teasing us, is he?

Maybe one of these days he may actually write a satisfactory ending to the story.

If he does, will we all swear a pact to pretend that School Rumble Sangakki never existed? I'm in.

What Sangakki?

It ended with Nigakki. I'm still waiting to see if any relationships actually turn out in the end.

Those final OVA's are a true representation of how the manga ended though.

And it certainly didn't end neatly with School Rumble Z. Z gave some ideas of what happened but were all "Natural" chapters and might have been all alternate histories and imaginary stories. I guess you could imply from them who ended up with who but not how and what happens to the important character who doesn't end up with anyone.

Of course I haven't actually read this one shot, so maybe it handles that in some way.

School Rumble with resolved romances? NEVER. What good is SR without unrequited loves?

There is no Sangakki. Only an hour of disappointment.

The ONLY happy ending to this uproariously delightful series -that I'll accept- must be a cloning of Harima, such that spoiler[ Eri and Yakumo get their man. And Tenma gets that lovable oddball, Karasuma. ]

*crosses fingers on all counts*

Besides being genuinely funny and well written, School Rumble easily was one of the best English dubs in recent memory. Brandon Potter was particularly badical as Kenji Harima!

Thinking about it makes me want to go watch it right now! I love this series.
