School Rumble (Seasons 1–2)

School Rumble (スクールランブル, 2004) — watch online on iFILM. An anime series directed by Taiki Nishimura, built on a love triangle where nobody confesses to anyone and everything keeps going wrong.

Tenma Tsukamoto (voiced by Ami Koshimizu) is in love with the eerily unreadable Karasuma, who gives no sign of noticing her at all. Harima Kenji (voiced by Hiroki Takahashi) — class delinquent, the type who clears hallways — is helplessly gone on Tenma but freezes every time she's nearby. Both circle their targets, constantly colliding with each other's plans without realising they're stuck in the same trap. The humour runs on desperation rather than charm: the harder they try, the worse it lands. A light watch for anyone who wants a school comedy without melodrama.
