(The following may spoil some plot details that have yet to be revealed in the translated American volumes.)
On the relationship between Mikoto Suo and Hiroyoshi Aso:
"To tell the truth, the editor who saw that pairing was like, 'What?' I guess he didn't like it,
but I didn't think it was that all weird. I mean, it's like, nice looking guy and pretty, outgoing tomboyish girl seemed a very nice couple together.
Nice looking guys and very energetic and great girls somehow end up in a relationship when you don't realize it."
On why Akira Takano has never been on the cover of the "School Rumble" manga:
"To give you guys a little info, she was supposed to be on the cover for volume 5 ... but when I looked at the preview for the volume 5 manga, it's like,
'Hmm, this manga is a little bit more centric to a story with Ichijo Karen.' So I went ahead and put Ichijo Karen on that volume.
"So I later decided on vol. 6, what are we gonna do? We going to do Takano on that one? But I said, 'Actually, (these covers have been) all girls.
I want to draw a guy. ...' So that's why it became Harima then.
"And then I dragged them on, and then we're asked, 'Oh, hey, why has Takano never been on the cover of that manga?' (I replied) 'Ehh,' and the publisher and editor said,
'Oh, I don't have a problem. Do you mind?' 'Not really.' So she was left out.
"Funny thing is, the voice actress -- (Kaori) Shimizu -- for Takano is always bugging me: 'Why has Takano never been on the cover? What, do you hate her?'
I said, 'No, not really.' But I kinda like fooling around with her. So just let it be, and she's never been on a cover yet, and probably won't. Volume 12 is going to be coming out,
and no, Takano's not gonna be on that cover - (it's going to be) a much more minor character -- and the possible future of her coming out on the cover ... umm, much further and still unknown."
