Vol 22 Thanks again Magister for the past few weeks, rereading Medaka Box was like talking to an old friend again
I remember only kumagawa being cool, but I have to say the other characters were way more likable and enjoyable than I remember.
Especially Zenkichi who is almost on par with Kumagawa in terms of likability.
The normie is just too lovable
I liked the later volumes more than I expected too, I think people were too harsh on them honesly. Though this was my first time round so maybe I missed something
Maybe it's just me, but it feels like most people came around to it during this reread.
I too enjoyed it way more this time around.
It kinda felt like a post game story if I had to make a comparison to something.
It coulf have ended at the election arc, but these last 2 extra arcs were pretty nice.
>This absolute normalfag side character beat not one, but two protagonists at their own game.
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
the Shiranui rescue arc was kinda boring towards the middle but managed to win me back round at the end, the wedding arc was an enjoyably confusing ride all the way through. Obviosuly Kumagawa was my favourite character but Zen and even Medaka managed to win me around by the end after they both matured. Or in Medaka's case, she actually became a person
I'd like for Nienami to have showed up earlier but her style is way too broken and she can't pull the loses like Kumagawa can
Saki>Nienami>Tachiarai>Ashin'in>Shiranui>Mogana>>>>>>>>Shit>Medaka
I was planning on making a thread like this tomorow but fuck it I guess I can hop in this one today. Hopefully it doesn't die to soon.
>the Shiranui rescue arc was kinda boring towards the middle but managed to win me back round at the end
I still can't get over this dude's bat shit insane endgame.
It's like he is the incarnation of Zig Forums's waifuism.
I also think it is hilarious how he just slammed dunk kamome into the nearest dumpster right after birth when he found out his child was a boy.
I have to admire how dedicated he is tp fucking his sister, despite also being a copelord that constantly compromises.
They definitely hold up way better upon this reread than when I first read them. I said it before but I really think the biggest issue was the Shiranui arc just felt like it was trying to cram too much in too quickly.
I asked this in the thread, but do you think Medaka, at ANY point could've possibly redeemed this man?
We can now all agree that medaka was worst girl
I've read the series 3 times now and it's really easy to not notice the foreshadowing in the earlier parts.
It's easy to forget how hilarious Iihiko was when he was first introduced and how amazingly interesting and creepy Hipster-kun's (Tsubami) dad was because everything happens so quickly and everything that happens around these characters is also interesting.
With almost every arc being 1 volume before moving on, which is the great strength of the series in my opinion.
Usually Shounen Manga drag out everything to the point where you're a battered wife that has seen every tedious aspect of current cast of characters (villian's included) but only remember the good/high points once you're freed from Arc.
In Medaka box you so many interesting concepts come before getting shuffled for a new one that you can forget how good certain characters were because their Arc was suddenly consumed by someone else.
I'm sorry user, I love Medaka. I can't help it. I LOVE MEDAKA.
Was he the only character to permanently die on screen? If so more proof how much of a complete shit he is.
I doubt it, probably why he was killed. Speaking of, that was probably one of my favourite parts of the entire manga, WORDSWORDSWORDS getting completely cut off by FRESH
I've been meaning to ask. Was FRESH written in english in the original manga?
This was my first time reading it. I saw THAT PAGE too many times in OPT's threads then saw that Magister was doing a storytime, so I said "why not?". I fucking love this manga too much, didn't expect that because I fucking despise manga with a lot of fanservice... But i fucking love more the deconstruction/subversion/meta-commentary than anything. I was really shocked when this thing became full battle-manga and actually was thinking to drop it... then /ourguy/ appeared and I was sold to the end. I appreciate everybody for making the threads so comfy and fun, this might be one of the most enjoyable StoryTimes I had.
I hate to admit it, she's at her most likeable when she's suffering.
Drawfriend here. I'll try to do some requests. No promises on how many I'll get done but fuck it. I love this series and nobody else is gonna draw anything for it.
>Self-insertkeks
Oof
Kumagawa affairs
Saki - Mogana - Aoki - Takarabe - sleep loli -
and Anshin'in
I'm already satisfied drawfriend
Nienami>Heat>Anshin'in-san>Kujira>Saki a.k.a Kumagawa's true wife>Nekomi>Shiranui>Kikaijima>Human Medaka>Robot Girl>Caligraphy Girl>Monster Medaka>Other girls
And Medaka. Cuckichi BTFO
Kumagawa's lucky to have such a cool and cute mommysisterwife
Which sounds better? Hitoyoshi Medaka or Kurokami Zenkichi?
Hitoyoshi, but she probably can't change her name for practical reasons, Her company being Kurokami industries and all.
She could just be like Kikaijima. Still uses her family name around the office but for personal stuff she goes by Hitoyoshi. Medaka's the exact kind of sentimental woman that would do that sorta thing.
He was a monster like Medaka in that he couldn't understand the emotion anger and perhaps frustration in himself or other humans - which is why he was so quick to instantly drop X or Y plan and doing start more creepy bullshit to replace it.
Medaka herself did say that if her middle school self wasn't so obsessed with being a perfect human that solely existed to serve others (basically not a human at all) but instead was a flexible person, somewhat more easy going, and was a bit selfish in her desires/actions then he could have kept up with her and wouldn't have to resort to finding another replacement. Maybe then she could heal him even if it didn't mean marrying him.
But she was a non-stop, hardworking, Jesus-like machine of a monster that drag would him around ceaselessly doing pointless charity works and couldn't really understand why others immediately around her wouldn't be that way too.
