Although a third series——was drawn up in the form of 24 episode synopses, the series was never animated. Instead a two-episode mini-series was released as episodes 25 and 26 of "School Rumble: Third Semester". The first 24 episodes follow the manga's storyline between the end of "School Rumble: 2nd Semester" and the "Third Semester" mini-series; the promotional videos of the mini-series on the anime's website instead of previews of a new season confirmed that the remaining 24 episodes would not be animated. The "School Rumble: Third Semester" episodes were released with special editions of volumes 21 and 22 of the "School Rumble" manga, the first on July 17 and the second on September 17, 2008.
