School Rumble ~Second Semester~ DVD

Picking up exactly where the first season left off, Class 2-C's love lives remain hopelessly tangled. Tenma still hasn't managed to tell Karasuma how she feels, Karasuma remains blissfully indifferent to everything except curry, and Harima is so deep in manga deadlines and misunderstandings that confessing to Tenma has been indefinitely postponed. Meanwhile everyone now believes Harima is dating Yakumo, sending Eri into a sulk of considerable magnitude. A basketball tournament, an eating contest, Tenma's birthday, a cultural festival, a school trip, class rivalry battles, a Sailor Moon parody, a fairy tale retelling, and the general chaos of Yagami High's second year fill out the 26 episodes. The ensemble's collective inability to communicate directly remains the engine of everything.

School Rumble: Second Semester is the 26-episode second season produced by Studio Comet, directed by Takaomi Kanasaki, written by Hiroko Tokita and Natsuko Takahashi, and scored by Toshio Masuda. The season aired in Japan from April to September 2006. FUNimation released the season in North America across two 2-disc sets: Part 1 (eps 1-13, October 14, 2008) and Part 2 (eps 14-26, December 16, 2008), with a reversible cover on both sets. The Complete Collection 4-disc set followed September 1, 2009, and a S.A.V.E. edition on June 15, 2010. This listing covers both the Part 1 and Part 2 individual 2-disc sets together.
