School Rumble Vol 2

DOWN BUT NOT OUT!

Harima Kenji has never lost a fight, but his love for the clueless Tsukamoto Tenma is proving to be his greatest challenge. After catching his cherished Tenma-chan and an unexpected rival in a lunchtime tryst, Kenji spirals into the deepest pit of high school Hades - plummeting so low that there's only one thing left to do: draw a manga. When Kenji hits bottom, whom will he find there? Meanwhile, Tenma is determined to learn how to cook - this time preferably without setting the house on fire!

Reviews

Manga comics... have ignited graphic novel sales around the world

—— Time

A real treat for fans... an excellent translation as well as one of the most complete sets of reader notes I've ever seen on a manga

—— Animerica

Sales of manga graphic novels are driving sales of all graphic novels in the bookstore market

—— Publishers Weekly

There’s a sniff of the great Robert Aickman in the mix of brittle comedy with murky sexual threat, and the whole thing is beautifully conceived and illustrated. Disturbingly confident, too, in its refusal to quite make sense.

—— Tim Martin , Daily Telegraph

The darkness in Eustace creeps up on you unexpectedly.

—— The Skinny

We’re looking forward to convalescing with this one.

—— ItsNiceThat

It’s a beautifully ugly book. The characters are intense, the story is a roller coaster of insanity and the art gives it a further depth that brings everything together. Perfect.

—— Andy Shaw , Grovel

Both very English and engagingly surreal.

—— Fiction Uncovered
