School Rumble is a Japanese shonen manga series written and illustrated by Jin Kobayashi. First serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine from October 22, 2002 to July 23, 2008, all 345 chapters were later collected in 22 tankobon volumes by Kodansha. Magazine Special published a parallel world story, School Rumble Z, monthly from August 20, 2008 to May 20, 2009. A romance comedy centering on relationships between Japanese high school students, School Rumble focuses on a love triangle involving the series' two protagonists, Kenji Harima and Tenma Tsukamoto, and one of their classmates, Oji Karasuma. The series often discards realism in favor of comedic effect.

School Rumble's popularity has resulted in its adaption into multiple forms of media. TV Tokyo broadcast a 26-episode anime program between October 2004 and April 2005. In December 2005, a two-part original video animation (OVA) entitled School Rumble: Extra Class was released. A second season, School Rumble: 2nd Semester, aired between April and September 2006. Finally, two more episodes, collectively entitled School Rumble: Third Semester, were bundled with the Japanese manga volumes 21 and 22. Three video games have been produced - two for the PlayStation 2 in July 2005 and July 2006, and one for the PlayStation Portable in 2005.

PLOT:
School Rumble is a romantic shonen comedy revolving around the daily lives of the students of Class 2-C at the fictional Yagami High School, as well as their friends and families. The main female protagonist is Tenma Tsukamoto, an unremarkable second-year high school student who secretly admires her eccentric, enigmatic, nice-guy classmate, Oji Karasuma. Tenma struggles to confess her feelings to Oji. He remains oblivious to her interest, instead seeking fulfillment by indulging in curry. The main male protagonist, delinquent Kenji Harima, similarly yearns for Tenma, attending school solely to be near her. Like Tenma, Harima has difficulty declaring his love, and whenever he summons the courage to do so, circumstances conspire against him.

PLAYSTATION 2 GAME:
School Rumble Ni-Gakki is just like the first game, a spin off of manga which also spanned a TV anime series. As the name implies, the game continues the second semester. This game is very similar to its prequel concerning overall gameplay and graphics style. Once again, the story revolves around a high-school girl, Tenma Tsukamoto, and her ventures regarding competitions, school and love in this romantic comedy adventure.

The story begins as Tenma and friends hear a rumor of a mansion within which sleeps a great treasure. You start off by selecting a character from whose perspective you'll follow the story. You also select a partner character, and based on your choice, the storyline changes.

The Limited Edition includes drama CD, memorial album and special box
