School RumbleSchool Rumble is a manga serialized in the Weekly Shonen Magazine (週刊少年マガジン), drawn by Jin Kobayashi (小林 尽). It is currently animated and broadcasted by TV Tokyo. It is about what happens to high school student Tsukamoto Tenma, her friends and her classmates. The story itself is lighthearted and contains the group's daily occurences. However, in School Rumble, these day to day interactions are exaggerated and at times can be considered over-dramatic. Beside the main story ("#", sharp), there is a side story ("♭", flat), which happens at the same time frame as the main story in other perspectives or to other characters. The main stories focuses on Harima Kenji, Tsukamoto Tenma and their friends, whereas the side story revolves around Tenma's little sister, Tsukamoto Yakumo, and her friends. As the volumes go on, the main and side stories become more and more intertwined; at some point, they provide different perspective of the same occurences. The main story and side story are serialized in the Magazine Special (マガジンSPECIAL). Beside the main story ("#", sharp) and side story ("♭", flat), there is a side side story, denoted by the natural sign. They are stories that are not related to the current time frame or progress in "#" or "♭". They are serialized in the Shonen Magazine Wonder (少年マガジンワンダー). Whereas in the beginning the main focus of the story are Tsukamoto Tenma's stuggle with her love interest, Karasuma Ooji, and Harima Kenji's dilemma concerning his love for Tenma, as of the 6th and 7th volumes of the manga, the plot of the story has differed greatly. While Harima Kenji is still the male protagonist, Tsukamoto Yakumo and Sawachika Eri have replaced Tsukamoto Tenma as the female protagonists, so the story mainly focuses on their relationships. Tsukamoto Tenma and Karasuma Ooji are seldom shown, and are very unimportant or minor even if they do appear. This is commonly believed that it is related to the character popularity poll conducted in Japan resulted with Sawachika Eri as the first and Tsukamoto Yakumo as the second. Their supporters greatly surpassed those who votes for Tsukamoto Tenma, ranked third in the poll.
