スクールランブル [School Rumble] #20

Two schoolgirls — one with long dark hair in a white jacket, the other with wavy blonde hair in a dark blazer — stand back to back on the cover of School Rumble Vol. 20, their contrasting looks hinting at the layered relationships that have defined this beloved romantic comedy series. Published by Kōdansha under the Shonen Magazine Comics imprint, this penultimate stretch of the series carries the quiet tension of a story approaching its emotional conclusion. Fans of the manga will find plenty to savor in this late-volume entry from creator 小林尽 (Jin Kobayashi).
