Hinano: I dislike Hanai a little too much to want that, but on the other hand there were points where he and Mikoto did seem good together.

*shrug*: At first it was mainly the b chapters but then it seemed to spread to the whole thing- to me it feels like there isn’t even much story in the ‘main story’ by this point.

inky: Thanks for your input, I didn’t know that (although like you I still don’t like Imadori). I guess we’re on course for Harima x Eri, then…in however many hundred chapters it takes to get there.

Neriya: In retrospect, I wish I’d given up when you did. When the basketball arc started I thought “this isn’t great, but the next arc will be better” for a while, then by the time I realised it wasn’t going to get better I thought I might as well watch until the end.

The first anime series was great, and highly amusing, but the second truly dreadful. I gave up watching it during the basketball arc because the story wasn’t going anywhere, and was full of dumb filler, and they’d exaggerated all the behaviour of the characters, and introduced a bunch of new ones that I couldn’t care less about.

Re: Imadori x Ichijou
I think the only reason she likes him is because she overheard him listing off names of the girls he was going to call for a date during the moving job they had together. One of the names he listed was an “Ichijou” and she thought he ment her. To her, it’s the first time anyone’s shown any interest in her so she’s latched onto him even though she knows he doesn’t like her. I hate Imadori since he’s a shallow useless jerk.

As for the rest, I’m almost certain that Harima will end up with Eri. The story is mildly autobiographical and Eri matches up the most to the writer’s wife.

Sounds like part of your problem with the manga is that you don’t like the flat-sign chapters. The sharps are the main story, flats are not.

Though I do admit it’s been getting kind of repetitive…

I gave up on school rumble. After the anime ended I tried to follow the manga but I guess I was right to stop as it seems to have gotten nowhere as usual.
