School Rumble, Vol. 7 by Jin Kobayashi My rating: 4 of 5 stars This volume was really fun!!!!! What a good time!! I didn’t laugh at all during the previous volume, but this volume had me giggling a few times, let me tell you! And like, scream-type giggling, the best type, because of the specific kinds of situations that were making me giggle, if you know what I mean… Please… stay over tonight!! Make me… Make me into a man!! So yeah, interesting and funny situations and scenes were in this volume, and that was great.
