My initial reaction to the chapter was "not again"...but at least the mood was somewhat lightened in the last two pages.  



While I thought this chapter made it more likely that there'll be a Yakumo ending, I think one of the great things about this manga is that even after 276 chapters it's still so hard to tell one way or the other.



I think thats due to the many 'plot resets', which irritates me to no end. Still, I'm hoping that the end will be justifiable and not unbelievable.



Yeah, it is finally trying to build up to something big, so that would be nice.  

I wonder just how many school rumble has left.  That being said, do these "conclusions" to Tenma and Yakumo's stories mean that Harima is going to end up with Eri?  Or is Harima just going to end up alone, kind of like takemoto at the end of Honey and Clover, and realize just the action of being in love with someone, whether his feeling are returned or not, is worth it?



I'm personally hoping he ends up with Eri.

Heh, School Rumble shouldn't be compared to Honey and Clover.  Way too different.  



Anyway, I prefer Yakumo a lot to Eri, but I can't really control the manga.  With our limited information it does seem that Harima is either going to go with Eri, no one, or it is going to be a very open ending.  



I can't get used to Kobayashi Jin's pained faces.

YEAH! Those pained faces, I hate it. It gives me creeps!!!

Hm, I liked this chapter, even if it was pretty wierd. I'm glad we had some development with Yakumo. I really do like her, but I prefer Eri with Harima. I do hope things end well with Yakumo! She's a sweetheart.

wtf? where did all the comedy go??

sigh, at least things are somewhat wrapping up, hopefully the series will come to a yakumo end within the next 4 or 5 chapters.

but damn, wtf is the mangaka thinking making yakumo look so ugly in that one crying frame

what's up with the new drawing style, can't he tell that it sucks and his old way was way better?

sigh. frankly, i'm disappointed

It was getting all serious and then the ghost just laughs and leaves..

what the hell is going on with school rumble man these last chapters have been showing some weird development from the older school rumble what happened to all the hilarious and fun moments instead of these downer and dark twists. I think ill stay off school rumble for a while and let some chapters pile up

I got that impression too. As if Yakumo has come to terms with the fact that Harima won't be returning her affections. I was hoping for something more with the little girl ghost other than some lame imagination.



Throughout all of School Rumble's run I've never been so bored as I have with these last 3 or 4 chapters. I used to really look forward to this manga every week, now it's just meh. Better end it before it completely loses all its charm.

THIS IS AN MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.

                ----------------------------------------

                the first half of this chapter creeped me out. seriously. I'm hoping that this is the 1st and last time that that will happen. >_>



the latter half was nice. some development on Yakumo's part is something I've been waiting for a long time. 4/5
