That's nice and all, but I'm not too worried about Flag dying or accidental kisses. The pairing taking a risk here is Onigiri.

I doubt it, since this scene looks set up primarily to force a reaction out of Eri. Harima's been in situations that bother, or affect, Yakumo without having a clue anything's happened to her, so I doubt he would even notice anything in Yakumo (if she actually gets bothered by this for romantic reasons). On the other hand, Harima has a history of noticing Eri being hurt and doing something about it when he does.

And I'm quite positive this will bother Eri.

Well, I'm either expecting her to confront both of them or run away. It would be more interesting if she confronted Tenma about this.

Prediction understandable for older members :

Yakumo : umm..Harima-sempai..why did you do it ?
Harima : emm, umm - I don't know
Yakumo : Well..should we explain the misunderstanding ?
Harima : Naah, let's fuck.

Great ending or greatest ending guys?

^ I vote GREATEST ending

Well, look at the circumstances: there is an (accidental) intimate moment that was witnessed by everyone in the class minus Tenma and Hanai (K.O.?). They could both get up and brush it off like nothing happened, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's what occures. However, if Yakumo makes a big deal about it, or just generally starts acting funny in front of Harima, odds are he'll notice it.

The majority of the time Yakumo is stoneface when in Harima's presence, but in 237 when Yakumo is speaking about her future aspiration, Harima pressures her a little bit when she has something she wants to keep a secret. It was just a minor lapse in defense for her, but Harima wasn't hesitant in calling her out on it.

So if Yakumo is acting differently, he will notice it (save if Harima runs into Tenma before anything else could happen). What he does about it, however, is up in the air.

And I'm quite positive this will bother Eri.

Oh I know it will, but Eri is just a minor figure at this point. There is very little should could do that would greatly effect things right now. Except...

Well, I'm either expecting her to confront both of them or run away. It would be more interesting if she confronted Tenma about this.

Telling Tenma what just happened probably won't effect much due to the fact that basically EVERYONE saw what just happened. If Oujo doesn't tell her, someone else will. The most that would happen if Eri says it, is that Harima gets angry at Eri for picking on him/causing another misunderstanding.

I still think Flag is no where near dead. The accidental kiss is just gonna force Eri to act. Since she haven't done anything recently it'll be weird for her to start go after Harima again without a reason. This incident gave her a great reason. I'm hoping something like Yakumo vs Eri like the short lived Tenma vs Eri.

Another bloody marry ?

..place your bets - Welding Machine v.s Chainsaw !!
Don't forget that Curry-fu master is still present and he can turn this even around, while Mystical-four-eyes was already beaten by Dark-four-eyes.

The destruction of the world is near and the only one who can change it are probably little miss of accidental genocide (Tenma) the Dark foureyes (Harima) or Curry-fu master (guess ). Welding machine and Chainsaw match might not play such great role here..

And what gives you the idea that Yakumo will make a big deal out of it? What makes you think she won't simply get silent and blush like she always does in an embarrassing situation?

Uh, Yakumo tells him she has a secret aspiration without Harima pressuring her, he asks her about it, then he completely misses Yakumo's vulnerable moment on the fourth panel of the fifth page.

Well, the major character is whichever one’s reaction receives the most focus after this, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

I don’t think Eri going to Tenma would be interesting due to possible events that could result from it.

Once again, I put my money on no Bloody Mary happening.

He got distracted, it happens a lot.

Another few examples was when they first started doing the manga together, back when they at Itoko's apartment. Harima had short hair and was clean shaved. Yakumo was staring at him (the text said "trying her hardest to think", I'm not sure why though), he noticed it and then put on his barrette.

The power went out and they started listening to the radio. The DJ started with the make-out tips and Harima immediately turned it off. Yakumo started blushing. Harima noticed this and then asked if she wanted to listen to the program after all.

Bottom line, Harima notices when Yakumo acts strange. He's actually pretty considerate of her when you think about it, at least more so then some other people in his life.

100 chapter ago, Yakumo and Harima's relationship was at top. They sleep at same house and working together. Eri and Harima had problem for a while, and Eri was moving away to england. People made fun.

Then Yakumo disappeared for a long time.

When Eri is winning, she is a tiny threat. When she is lost, she has sympathy and becomes most dangerous. One who is laughing now may be cry later. Let us be careful.

Well this seems bad for flag, but i think this will trigger all the major factions at once in the arc Onigiri,Flag,Bloody Mary,Odou and True Odou; This chapter it's the one we School Rumble Fans have waited for, finally an interesting arc after twenty chapter of boring random jokes.

^Well, it's supposed to be the final school function, so it could very well be the final arc. Plus, Karasuma was supposed to leave earlier that day. It's apparent that he pushed back his flight to America, but for how long?

Karasuma's departure is supposed to be the climax of the series, it's been that way since the first chapter. After this event, there will be the denouement where everything gets wrapped up, which might take up an entire arc as well. So everybody's everything should be coming to a clash very soon.
