Maybe not but considering how Medaka is a deliberate exaggeration of the main character, she is sure as hell gonna resolve them.

Wow, this chapter was great. Great interactions between Medaka and Kumagawa and Ajimu going nuts on that shadow again was funny. I'm really curious about the new role Kajiki gave to Shiranui.

Actual Kumagawa development, the "real" Shiranui, the reappearance of the doubles (surprisingly!), Anshin'in-san being AMAZING again... pretty good chapter, yeah.
The doppelganger fights should be damned interesting, particularly Ajimu's, if Nisio goes as far with it as he probably should.

Interestingly put by Shiranui there.

An extremely strong one.

An extremely weak one.

One who has lived far too long.

And one who is too ki(nd)...optimistic.

Medaka, Kumagawa, Ajimu and Zen. This might be interesting.

Well, I have to say that on top of being about my favourite character in the series this arc looks very promising from the get-go. Can't wait for the next chapters!

Exclamation

I think the biggest shocker here is the fact that Shiranui isn't actually the gluttonous, bottomless, waste-disposal-for-food that she appeared to be.
OMG! WTF!?! GWAAAAAAHHH!!!!

Seems to be getting interesting. the riddle was a very cunning if easy trap
Spoiler for riddle:

Have an idea what Shiranui's next role might be and if I'm right it might be very difficult for her.
Spoiler for role theroy:

Well I have to say, It's awesome that they actually gave Kumagawa some actual character development because ever since the end of the President elections, he's been been put into some sort of a comic relief role. Kumagawa was awesome as the big bad, especially in the minus arc and imo lost most of his awesomeness in the latest chapters following Medaka around in her journeys while providing a few comments here and there. So it's a good thing that they show that there's still a reason for him to get air time in this manga.

I wonder though, when did Shiranui and Medaka start hating each other? It seem like prior to the genre shift, they just had an odd relationship, rather than one of animosity

A new Medaka Box novel will be released in October. It's titled "Medaka Box Gaiden - Good Loser Kumagawa Novel Version (Part 1) 'Suisō ni ugomeku nō darake'". Here is the amazon page: http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4087032787

Kumagawa in a (at least) two part Nisio novel... This should be quite amazing.

I sort of figured that from this we could assume that Shiranui's real reason for hating Medaka was because she had to live her life as Medaka's double, and didn't get a chance to live for herself(that added to her crush on Zenkichi)

If indeed, Medaka Kurokami would be the next head of the Kurokamis, then it is rather clear that in parallel, Hansonde is her grandfather's successor.

Well there was this gender comparison popularity poll, and it pretty much showed Medaka, box to be the 3rd most popular amongst the males. The word gender popularity seems disgenious since it seems to really be a gender break down of fanbases. Basically Medaka box isn't very popular amongst females only Kochikame and Nisekoi beat it in male proportion of populations, with it judging from the sample having a 74.9% male fanbase.



Well we always knew Medaka box was more supposed "Otaku" based, so I'm not sure what I was suspecting. Still though it just seems weird considering how One piece has has more higher proportion of females than male, as does gintama etc, which was basically second on the female side. Meaning female reader's in Jump magazines seem to be a big deal.

Judging how Kumagawa rapes the poll's I'm guessing the proportions of his fans being male or more skewered than the average most popular character in Shounen jump manga.

so what are the other titles on the poll? googling every single one would take myself a tremendous amount of time to figure each out.
