What we're shown is Medaka's strength and in a manga, the pictures, expressions and actions of the characters speak much more loudly than words.

Well maybe thats some miscommunication between mangaka and Nisio? But again scenes (how they are set up) should be the work of plot author too...

Don't say it... Just DO it. If Medaka just kept attcking him like a wild animal, I'd buy it and might be freaked out about it. But she spends more time taking about how she's losing her sanity and using violence than actually using it. Even the characters take it pretty much in stride, as seen in chapter 19, where they're basically just like "Well, she's pissed."

Yeah I noticed that too, but this is not the first manga who does it. Normally if you are so pissed you do not start talking about how pissed you are but start acting... But again this is manga... Besides this is Medaka - she can melt her shoes by running, no walls are strong against her, she survives deadly explosions like nothing - surely being able to expres herself intelligently when she is in her animalistic rage mode would not be to tough for her.
