I bought this in Taiwan so the text is in Traditional Chinese. This 400-page "encyclopedia" was probably the best purchase I made this summer (Newtype magazines are 3 times the price).
Other than the typical Character Info and the reviews on what has happened up to the eleventh volume. It also contains information on interesting phrases and objects that come up throughout. Most the info is text-based and about 1/2 of it is stuff we already know presented in a different manner. However, this section would probably wow people even if language was a barrier: KJ's early designs of SR Characters ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Most of the important information, translated Pg 390,391: Harima wasn't originally named "Harima Kenji" but rather, 京極誠. On the picture that features Harima and Karasuma, there's a girl that is never featured... When the Motorbike scene was drawn, Harima was not yet the main character. (It was Nara, right?) Pg 392,393: Tenma's original character setting was "normal high school girl" but when KJ decided to add her characteristical ahoge, that all changes. In the first stage, she looks much wiser... uncanny. Pg 394,395: The "Kai" version of Yakumo was made to portray the "girl that hides her emotions" character setting. Eri was originally designed with a different hair style, looking a little more gentle and caring. (cute...) Pg 396,397 Hanai had curly hair! but Mikoto looked pretty much the same. Sarah's hair was not tied up in a bun. And, Takano Akira, with Long Hair (Godliness, I love long hair over. |

Surprising Eri's first design on the upper left looks ALOT like Rosario+Vampire's Kurumu.
Wonder if that unpublished girl would make an appearance in SRZ? Who knows? Another Harima potential love, also glad they didn't made Nara the main guy character to many of his kind now a days in anime. Hanai had curly hair? LOL Mikoto looks the same though the eyes on the first designs looks a bit sharper. As for the uniforms, I kinda like the first uniform design KJ did, checkered skirts! Great images! Thanks alot for the share. Iam one of the unfortunate guys that didn't got a chance to buy that book. ![]() ![]() |

Yeh well it's a new thread... Odd how nobody here had the Treasure file. For two years. (It was published in Japan 2006) |

Well, I have this guidebook and it's my favorite SR Fanbook so far because it has a lot of information that sometimes don't appear on the manga.
wow.. i'm surprised i never saw this thread before.. it's interesting to know alternatives of known chars.. eri looks like sailormoon back there.. Actually, tj_han ever created this thread several years ago. But, thanks Maserko Sensei for recreating it again. My first impression when I saw Yakumo "Eh, is that Mikoto?". I think Tenma's first sketch suits her role as an older sister more. I really like Akira's sketch in here Well, I have Treasure File scans (Japanese version) kept in my folder. But, I couldn't find SR Private File scans anywhere in Internet. SR Treasure File is a combination of SR Official File, Private File, and Extra. So, having SR Treasure File is quite enough because this is the most completed SR fanbook so far. Koshimizu Ami and Noto Mamiko introduce Kobayashi Jin, School Rumble mangaka. KJ : "Hi, I'm Kobayashi Jin." (still not facing the camera LOL) ![]() Fav. SR Female Characters : Tenma, Yakumo, Eri, Mikoto, Akira, Sara, Itoko, Karen, Tae. Fav. SR Male Characters : Harima, Karasuma, Asou, Hanai, Imadori, Nakamura. Fav. Factions : True Oudou, Flag, Basketball, Apple Juice, Kite/Chocolate, TnT. |

KJ must also be a fan or knows the author/artist of FSN. Since there was a Yakumo drawing by the artist of FSN and KJ did an illustration of Ryogi Shiki.

Dang, that's an excellent purchase. How different things would have been with those other designs? Probably many of us would not have been big fans of the girls.
Imagine Nara as the protagonist = FAIL. ![]() |

Hahahahaha..Hanai looks funny.....but Akira looks cute! Tenma looks the same
I value freedom, impulse, emotion and fire. At my best I am passionate and decisive...at my worst, I am shortsighted and destructive.

Woa, thx for sharing
I wish I could buy it (translated) xD But the only databooks hitting the stores are from Naruto ... or NGE. That's about it, a shame. Makes me even gratefuller! I'm glad SR evolved more until it started - Tenma not a klutz would have been boring~ And I don't even wanna think about Harima as a side character D: I wonder if there are any notes about the first drafts of the story itself? |
