Review: School Rumble, Vol. 7

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. The relationships between the characters are getting more and more complex and intertwined, and I love it. It is so juicy. I can't wait to continue reading. Please consider giving this review a "Like" if you've made it this far, it helps me out a lot! And follow me if you want more!

There are always like six pages of translation notes at the back of every single volume—which is A LOT—which I love reading along with the story since they give insight into the way the manga was originally written. This makes me feel like I’m getting more of the authentic reading
