S1E26 9.3
School Rumble Forever!

Tenma has always thought that Karasuma was out of this world - But not quite so literally!?! Seems curry boy was sent to determine if this planet should be allowed to exist. Boy, are we screwed! Tenma arrives in time to hear two confessions of love, and it looks like Harima might get lucky after all - Wait, that's the comic ending! Real life: Harima wrecks on his way to submit his entry to the publisher, but Eri's there to save the day. Too bad the butler might get the credit! And a run in with a cat sends Harima to heaven and Tenma on a fool's errand? Or was that just a dream? Oh, and Karasuma's birthday was two days ago!?!

The Tea Club's gone camping in the mountains... Yeah, that makes perfect sense!?! Well, nature does calm the mind...

When Harima gets stuck getting wood with the wrong sister, he decides to see if he can get at an even greater prize... Firewood and information! You pervs!
