Sket Dance.

How much has the anime actually covered so far?

I believe that the anime has already covered every Sket-dan flashback and is soon entering the school trip arc, so around 100 chapters or something.

Edit: I just checked it, and the latest episode (64) is already on the school trip arc, so this means the anime is already on chapter 136. Of course, it seems like they skipped some chapters and sometimes a single episode can contain 2 chapters.

I wonder if the scans will ever catch up. The gap isn't as big as it was when I first started reading the series but it's still a good bit behind

[maxterdexter]

Right now they are in 39 and since I've started reading it, it hasn't changed much, I think that it was on 44 around a year ago.

[Aohige_AP]

Considering there's around 49 issues of WSJ published every year, it's little less than a year behind.
With double issues in mind, probably right around 10 month of material.

201 is out, that was "fast"

That part with Switch, Roman and Cherry is gold.

[IceBorg]

Switch is such a troll.

[Takaho]

This chapter was absolute gold.

[KzTxL7]

Brought in Roman and Cherry at the same time.

Trolling on a godlike scale.

This is fantastic news. I always thought the arc would be the finale of the series but guess not. That's even better. We get more Sket Dance :D

[tatermoog]

Interesting.

And I assume the ending arc of Sket Dance will be graduation.

[sniperking323]

So I just watched Episodes 24 and 25 (or Switch's backstory) and

Spoiler:

Wow. Motherfucker. I haven't been this depressed watching a character's backstory since either Chopper's or Robin's. You guys weren't kidding about the flashbacks! These were both really amazing episodes. Seriously blew me out of the water. I feel like I see Switch in a whole new light. Can't wait to see how Himeko or Bossun's backstories top this one, and I am now officially a fan of this series

Well, the author said that Switch's episodes hold a key to the final arc, and will be done towards the end.
If he still plans to stick to these plans, the end of Sket Dance may not be far.

Sigh, I wish the series would take some risks and radically shake up the story a little. Have them graduate and reunite at college and set up Sket Dance there. Have Bossun and Himeko actually hook up and show their romantic relationship grow. It doesn't need to be awkward (well it would be a little during the honeymoon phase). They would still be the same, they just go on dates now and again. It would be a totally new world with new characters, new relationships, more mature protagonists. It would be awesome and I know the author has the gumption for it. But oh well.

[Aohige_AP]

Well, the story of the "original" Sket Dan episode kinda suggest it'll go that way.
Has that chapter been translated?

The School Chairman and his two partners.

[Thousand Lion-chan]

We've met them and know who they are if that's what you mean. The last chapter translated was 201, the hilarious gag chapter where Bossun and Himeko have a No Tsukkomi battle.

Not sure if I want that.

Yeah it has. Two so far. One where we find out he was in a simiar group, and one where he's picked up by his wife in a flying car at the end after telling all these crazy stories that end up being true.

[Aohige_AP]

The girls have pretty much established their feelings, especially after the recent arcs.

Spoiler:

such as the Valentines and Yakuza arcs

The two guys are the ones hesitent in submitting to romantic feelings.

Bossun and Switch's resolve and closure to their feelings will probably be towards the very end of the series, and maybe a small epilogue afterwards.
I don't expect a full blown one like what TLC is suggesting.
