School Rumble
スクールランブル
Second-year student Tsukamoto Tenma learns that her secret crush, Karasuma Oji, will be transferring to a school in America. In a last-ditch effort to reveal her love to him, she writes a long (but anonymous) love letter. When Karasuma ends up postponing his transfer for another year, Tenma realizes she has to tell him how she feels before time runs out again. But her extreme nervousness around him prompts her to try and setup all sorts of schemes to get close to him and let him know, without actually coming out and saying it. Meanwhile, unknown to Tenma, the school delinquent, Harima Kenji, has the biggest crush on her, as well as the same anxieties about being direct. Around this love triangle of clueless people are a few of Tenma's friends, and her younger (but older looking, more mature, and more popular) sister, Yakumo.

高野晶
MAINAkira Takano (高野 晶, Takano Akira) is the smartest of the main female characters in School Rumble where she is the brains and strategist of the group.

Curious by nature, Akira analyzes everything she sees in a very meticulous way and always seems to be one step ahead of everybody.

冴子
SUPPORTINGSaeko contributes with her fair share of plot twists and weird stories where she writes a story for Tsumugi Yuuki and Mai Otsuka to read for their debate about the school play. In her play, Mikoto Suo, Kozue Mihara and Karen Ichijo are ballerinas and Kyosuke Imadori is their dance instructor. Although it is not fully known if Saeko wrote the the story, Yuuki and Mai assume so because Saeko tends to be dark, and with a dark and scary story, Saeko must have written it. Saeko also appears in the tea clubs coffee shop as a very popular waitress due to her beautiful appearance and she serves Koriyama, one of 2-C's teachers and really throws him for a loop.
三沢伸
SUPPORTINGShin Misawa first appears in the Survival Game in Season 2 Episode 02 of School Rumble. He is noted for his bravery and 'sacrifice' for the Cafe Faction.
