As much as I hate to say it, people want Zen to be abnormal because they'd like to see him get more screen time and actually do something that doesn't revolve around Medaka. I noticed a lot of people saying Zen is the main character, which, though I wish it was true, isn't. Medaka's the main character and Zen's just the dude who narrates her life... Kind of like a rip-off of Kyon from Haruhi. Both are snarky, bot are regular guys dragged around by god-like beings. Maybe that explains why I don't really get into this manga much... I hated Haruhi.

They can dislike her all they want but that doesn't change the fact that Medaka is quite clearly the main character. To drive this point home each of the arc bosses (Unzen, Miyakonojou, and finally Kumagawa) all were interested in Medaka while they all could care less about Zenkichi. Each time she encountered one they have made her grow and gain a better understanding of herself. That and the encounters moved the plot forward.
The box is that thing Medaka said she would challenge the board of directors with if they are trying to open their own pandora's box in chapter 58. =P

Medaka knows she can't fight against a Minus and win. Her previous fight against Kumagawa in Middle School seemed to sink into that thick skull of hers. Is anyone else hoping she doesn't fight? I wonder who they'll complete the team with? |

But considering the last fights, the author is not very good with such things. I would like to see battles like in Jojo´s Bizarre Adventures (tactic and very, very dangerous), but it seems the author prefers short and uncomplicated fights. If I would have the choice I would like the fights in this order: Spoiler:
Well, I must admit, I like my Shonen Battle Manga cliches... |

Though I'm still not a huge fan of MB, it does have some great moments in it. As for the current arc, Spoiler:

I'm sensing another "I told you so" moment being created here.

Medaka should be covered until the end of this year. By that time the chapter number should just be hitting the 80s and ironically it will be an extremely crucial time period from then on.
