It would work if it actually happened earlier, if the first 15 chapters were spent setting it up as a battle manga. However, the whole thing was about a suggestion box and Medaka's perfection. Out of all the genres it tried to copy, battle was probably the one is failed the most at. Sadly, I think that it may be beyond saving. It'll probably be doomed to mediocrity if that happens.

Just look at the situation with the characters in Bakuman, where because of the low ratings of their mystery based manga, they're being forced towards the whole battle manga scenario. This is eerily similar to what they were talking about. That the mangaka is only going that route because he's being forced to. It never leads to anything good.

Spoiler:

What is with that hat on Medaka? Makes her look like some general in an army. And we get some cliche scene of the 10 year old surrounded by dead bodies (surprisingly similar to Medaka's scene with the kids she stole the kisses from, though with more bloodshed). And is that a whip in the evil looking Medaka's hand or is that the female Enforcer (all I see are boobs)? Meh... I'm not really expecting much. Hope the RAWs come out soon, though, so I can at least get a better idea, even if I can't read a word of it, you can usually get the gist of what's going on in this type of manga as there's no real thought (or plot) required.
