Wow I couldnt have expected a worse ending for School Rumble (have read spoilers for 283). I mean if this was some kind of joke, then JK could have taken it to another level, at least making it comical is some perverse way. But no, I dont see any intent for humor and it seems that there must be a lack of interest continuing something JK has been working on for 6 years and that he simply wants to end his series in the most effortless way that his publishers will allow.
