And what Kumagawa said at the end of ch to leave everyone there with that face?

I didn't go over the whole chapter yet, so I don't know the context, but in that particular page...

Spoiler for chp98:

Medaka asks Kumagawa what his wish is (I assume if he wins the contest). He replies: "Umm, if I were to find the treasure..."

Spoiler:

...I want all the girls to wait on me, wearing nothing but an apron.

Gotta love Kumagawa. I'll root for him with all my might.

[Rejuvenation]

That is a great color page. Easily may be my favorite one so far. AA did a fantastic job. I could only hope he gets to top this one next year but we will see.

Especially, if you consider, that on pixiv (japanese DeviantArt) Kumagawa has TWICE as much fanarts as Medaka herself!

Lets be reality, Kumagawa saved this manga.

I'd jump at the chance to tell him how much I love his manga, while also rant at him about how much his story could be improved if he focused on Zenkichi a bit.

I think at the end of your sentence you somehow misspelled drop Zen and make Misogi the main... and to make matters worse it somehow came out as focus on Zen!

Don't worry, we all make mistakes.

Urgh... just let it go your worst than shippers(although that's not really possible...). Let's just say the both charactershave certain characteristics that certain people like and leave it at that. There's no need to constantly tell people which character you prefer and who you think deserves to be the main character.

The craziness knows no bounds...

lol aside from the saving the manga part (compare the posts in this thread now and before kumagawa's introduction) it's a joke man, heck Kumagawa has been getting more focus than Zen lately anyway lol... no need to get so upset

The only crazy part in this thread is Zen actually having fans lol.

Again you can't seem to let it go. It's like you appear to have an incessant need to do it. We get it no one cares anymore as you and people like you have stated it a thousand times. Just let the mocking go. Unless you have some insatiable need to do so, which is really quite sad.

[Westlo]

Maybe if we can read this thread without seeing "Man I wish Zen was focused on more" or "we could sure use some more Zen" ad nauseum I would.

*reads awesome chapter*
*goes to look at responses*
*sees "needs more zen"*
*facepalms*

I'm referring to both sides, but your just making it worse. BTW there's nothing wrong with liking a character everyone has preferences, it just gets annoying when you start bashing a character because you think your character deserves more praise or simply prefer your character and so feel the need to bash that character because some else prefers that character.

that's only because all the haters have abandoned this sacred place of discussion since then xD
it's not like kumagawa converted some haters to the light side :P

for chapter 100 i'm expecting something to happen (in-out manga)

[Sixth]

I'm OK with Kumagawa taking the Zen's position and become Medaka's partner. After all, Kumagawa is a fun character. As for Zen, not so much...

[Rejuvenation]

95 was a rather fun chapter. I like how each of the people they got paired with had something that the student council could address. Kumagawa's was easily the funniest for me. Considering how much he lies, its only fitting he got paired with another liar.

Thats right Zenkichi, Parasite-Seeing smashed your delusions and you have Goddess Ajimu and your performance in the General Affairs battle to thank for it.

Crazy that Ajimu hasn't been to the academy since WWII? lol thats a long time. I can't wait until she explains why she is avoiding Medaka. Hopefully, its not just because she knows she can't win against her so she wants to avoid her entirely.

Should be interesting how Medaka deals with all 5 being Not-Equals.

I love the times when you make my job easier.

Nah, we've been getting Kumagawa (and other brilliant stuff), that's why the manga is already awesome like he said.

This chapter was hilarious and also totally screwed with my expectations, I let out a rofl when Kumagawa said his interviewee wasn't suspicious, but then Nishio set me up by actually revealing that she was a spy, only to troll me again by showing that all of them were. I can't wait to see their battle next chapter, it already sounds epic.

The 'true nature' stuff Najimi was talking about sounds pretty interesting, I wonder if that has something to do with what being a 'not equals' means. At the same time it sets up some exciting developments 'cause the way Medaka and Kumagawa let their interviewees pass so easily totally did come off like a massive red herring.

Anyway, on the side, this chapter makes me hope for some Akune development. He's been pretty overshadowed for most of the manga, but the way they keep hyping up his past it sorta seems like he should still be considered one of the stronger physical fighters in the manga. I wonder if, despite the girls' personalities all being a setup, that girl's disappointment in him will still go anywhere.

If Kurosu is still reading this thread--thanks for the chapter, and I'm looking forward to the next one. Also, I hear Doc_Astoroth did the translating this time; good job dude, I really appreciate it.

Interesting no wonder that everyone has that face.
I admit that this time I cheering Kumagawa too.

I agree totally here, both characters are great.
I admit I prefer Zen, but Kumagawa is close , after all Zen and the current Kumagawa are my favorite male characters from the manga.

This is actually a good thing ,because if he starts to realize something like this means Zen will start to want to change for improvement himself .
Interestingly Paraiste eyes not only help him to understand others but also are helping him to understand himself and understand where action to improve himself. Thing because of Medaka he has never done or at least almost never done and is wondering about himself.

Crazy that Ajimu hasn't been to the academy since WWII? lol thats a long time. I can't wait until she explains why she is avoiding Medaka. Hopefully, its not just because she knows she can't win against her so she wants to avoid her entirely.
.

I agree totally on both this things you said, but one thing I ask is why she never returned tothe school since the WWII.

agree ,I'm really curious about this 'true nature' stuff that Najimi mentioned.

Thank you, but I just saw the title and tought: "F**K! I forgot to change it", because actually the meaning was "If there is just one..." referencing to Medaka´s speech at the end.

Honestly, you should give more credit to the editors for making my terrible English readable and explaining.

Na, anyway...

The most intriguing thing in this chapter in my opinion, is the hive mind between Ajimu and her girls... Or better said, how Ajimu considers Takarabe as an extension of herself.

Maybe the girl, we call Ajimu in fact is not the true enemy...

PS: My favorites under the new girls:

Tsugihagista SS Rubysapphire The Fifth for being such a crack case of Eight-Grade-Disease.

Kibougaoka for being a Robot Chick... All man dig Robot Chicks...

[Soji]

Do not be so modest Doc Astaroth you deserve the compliments and thanks for your share of work as well as others who have collaborated on the translation of ch ,they deserve the thanks and compliments for their work.
However, returning to ch I have to admit that the two that I prefer are those that you have said yourself.
But I must admit that even Takarabe seems to be really interesting and I cant deny that I liked her interaction with Kumagawa.

Your awesome doc. Keep it up so we can get the other chapters too.
Are you English speaking and know Japanese or vice versa

Nope, I´m German and I just managed to end my English class with a D four years ago... because in the end I didn´t have to write exams anymore, which were always E to F.

Japanese on the other hand I learn since three years and I was last winter in Japan to study abroad. Still, my Japanese knowlege is only average, the translators of such mangas like Naruto or One Piece often are JLPT 2 and some even can speak Japanese on business level. I´m nothing against that.
