We'll rejoice at the wedding Medaka x Zen. I believe in happy endings of arc.
It is strange that someone hates Medaka because she is the strongest (overpowered). At this is key point Medaka Box. I do not know how in other genres but in romcom girls often are the strongest. And cute at the same time. |

People don't usually hate OP MCs because they are OP but because of other factors, Saitama in OPM is a good example and another is Rai from Noblesse of super OP main characters that people just can't help but love...it's just how the author handles them that brings about love or hate for these characters. |

Because this is Medaka Box. No Hakoniwa Academy story/Abnormal story/Bakemonogatari. Or other title. This is the story of Medaka. All the other characters - this is only the secondary/background for story of Medaka. Zen is the love interest of Medaka and important character for its development. And so on.

Rai isn't protected by plot armor...he IS everyone else's plot armor since he ends up finishing the enemies others can't and he does it with little to no effort put into it. He is so OP that the author had to make up that "using his own life force" excuse to have him away from combat. There is a major difference between having plot armor and just being plain OP. Natsu, Ichigo, Naruto and other shounen battle manga MCs have plot armor, they survive things they shouldn't due to the most BS of reasons (often Nakama Power)...Rai, Saitama and so on don't survive things they shouldn't because so far nothing thrown at them has been able to be an actual threat to someone of their power (while it would be deadly to most other characters in the series). Medaka, in my honest opinion, a SEMI-OP main character with thin plot armor. She is stronger than nearly every other character, enough to reasonably explain why she survives most shit thrown at her, but just barely. |

So it was throughout history. If Medaka can not do something it will make Zen. I bet that in the next or next-next chapter Zen will fulfill its role. Besides, it was too boring if everything depended on "brute force". I am not like manga this type. As you noticed prev arc ended at word game. Before that Zen has won the election. Not in the field of battle. Yes, I know that Medaka is not just the most powerful weapons of the two universes (it's a joke/ link to Lexx). She is also very smart - she is brilliant tactician and strategist. But it has its limitations. If she can win Iichiko alone, then she wins. If Medaka can not - the author always there are those who would help her. First Zen. Last edited by ccie20012; 2013-02-02 at 21:13. |

People are optimistic indeed Only to be disappointed later when she comes back and defeats Iihiko.
Mind you I will be happy to eat my words if something different happens, but I just cant see it considering this manga . I am keeping my expectations rock bottom so as not to lead to pointless rage later... |

as for "OP characters are hated a lot", I toss in evangeline from negima as rebuttal. she's like the 2nd strongest character ever(1st if we ignore the mage of beginning, and nagi just beat her since she loved him) yet she's got like the biggest fanbase with only a handful of haters. at least, majority of the users like her, unlike in some others like here where its divided evenly. I hardly remember any person who disliked eva, only that some prefer another character over her. |
