So...yea.
Just read 150...was about to make this big rage induced post on what I hated about this chapter and so on...but you know what? Why bother... I'll just say that, I was displeased and disappointed with the chapter as well as (what I perceive to be) the asspull within. That is all, will see you guys next week...though I've lost all motivation and enthusiasm for the next chapter...and rest of the arc. |

lol...alright, I guess next chapter is the one which will be fucking glorious. The spoiler pic with Kumagawa, only showed up on the last page. As for the current chapter, I don't see what anyone has to complain about, lol. Emukae's getting her character development, she's in the middle of it this very moment.
Further hints about Kugurugi being a "word" user. I wonder what that will have to do with her screws. From the way Kumagawa was talking, he didn't actually seem to be planning on interfering. "I'm disappointed", etc.; and the way he made his entrance was just too sudden. Seems like he only stepped in in order to save Emukae's life with All Fiction. We will see what happens. Blatant parallels between Emukae and Zenkichi's confession back when he suicided against Kumagawa. People complained about Medaka ignoring that "confession", lol, so I'm gonna be curious about Zenkichi's reaction to this one. Last edited by Sol Falling; 2012-06-14 at 03:57. |

Which, by the way, was obviously rendered meaningless by the current chapter, which could've been pretty good, but just regressed her character to thinking she's useless and weak again, although she's in the right, speaking moraly. Also, not a fan of the past tenses being used by Emukae. If she's given up on her love for Zenkichi already then we might as well kiss her character good-bye, she's not sticking around for much longer if her feelings are just going to be ignored and side-lined from now on. Not to mention Kumagawa appearing and saving the day is probably the worst writting decision Nishio could've done at this time. Way to undermine the entire Council and the tensions running around. Also loled at how Emukae's minus apparently dosen't work simply cause the enemy is a suitor, Lol. Crazy girls. Last edited by Wolfenstein; 2012-06-13 at 19:25. |

at all the RAGE.
Different strokes for different folks I guess. I thought it was glorious myself. I came into this chapter honestly expecting Medaka Box to continue its "standard shonen jump battle manga" streak myself. Nothing wrong with that I suppose, just not what I'm looking for in this manga. 2 suitors down, 5 to go, so 10-15 more chapters of this "phase" of the manga I guess? Was going to give this chapter a go to confirm this and then come back in a few months to see if Ajimu was actually serious—"Medaka Box" has already ended, we're actually reading "Zenkichi's Adventures" now and just don't know it yet— before dropping the manga altogether. BOOM!!! The entire council got their asses kicked. They sure weren't kidding when they said screwdriver girl was the strongest of the suitors. Kumagawa shows up without a scratch OUT OF NOWHERE. Wasn't he supposed to be...you know, beaten and imprisoned right now? WTF???!! Trolled. And for me at least, in the best possible way. Haven't looked forward to the next Medaka Box chapter so much for quite a few weeks now. Just goes to show, since the fans of this manga differ so wildly, Nisiosin can do whatever he wants and someone is bound to be happy. |

Which leads me to believe he made all this she-bang in order to re-introduce Misogi. Reasons for that unclear, that was his objective. Which does kill the tension and takes away all the attention from the characters we actually want to see interacting(because let's just face it, no character is a bigger attention whore than Misogi-chan). Aside from possible EmukaexKumagawa foreshadowing and just mere trolling, something is obviously up. |

Nishio has no limits to his trolling. He's like a hurricane.
Worst is she wasn't even using her style, lol. Apparently she's just naturally immune to rotting or something, even though she's not even an abnormal/minus. Again I think this baseless plot-point could just be attributed as another part in bringing back Kumagawa. Or maybe it'll be explained later, hopefully. |

Most people hated the chapter???? well, gee, I absolutely adored the chapter♥ so there♥
it was great to see the council's ass' get kicked, and I loved the character development with Emukae♥ (I quite like her new 'haircut', I hope she keeps the sideburns~) And this screwdriver girl is awesome! she kinda reminds me of Kumagawa for some reason... Heh It'll be a good fight~~ I'm sooooooo looking forward to the next chapter!♥ |

Well, having read the chapter, I don't see what the hate is all about.
You can hardly deny that Emukae got her precious character development here. I mean, if that's the sole base of the complaints, then I really can't agree. This chapter built up her character much more elaborately than any that I remember. Spoiler for speculation heavy:

I think Kumagawa got there by:
1. Was left behind by the Medaka's Group 2. Used All Fiction to make it so the fact that Kumagawa never leaved. 3. Kumagawa likes to stalk people. But anyway, if Kumagawa felt like it he could win now, since he has the ultimate law bending ability, All Fiction. Maybe it could even make the fact XXX was born be erased. |
