It's true what Westlo says. Kuma is easily the most popular character and there is no reason for Nisio not to use him to climb the ranks. He probably felt that since the anime started there is less chance of the manga getting cut so he tried to bring Zen back since he technically is the male lead. He probably then realized that there is no point in fighting what the fans want and just brought Kuma back.

Check the rankings if you don't believe me. Really Medaka box is getting close to where it was in the height of teh treasure arc with Kumagawa barely featuring at all (even in the joker part of this manga he barely feature) if you put two and two together you realise something. |

Of course he doesn't his manga consistently ranks shit even in (good) times. As long as isn't in danger of being cancelled he doesn't give a rats ass, why do people think he randomly cuts the hairs of popular characters that people in ways people generally don't like.

@Kurusu, that person could be someone from here.
But now I'm interested in seeing Medaka Box rankings since its inception. I won't mind looking for myself as long as I need to decide on: Is it 8 chapters or 9 chapters that I have to count back on?

It would fine if this was simply a ranking but it's not so as it stands it's either horribly inaccurate for it's supposed to do or these likely more going on behind the scenes. Data collection and encouragement of products is typically far more on the pulse for these sorts of things with good reason. A typical magazine doesn't decide which content to publish depending on what was popular 8 weeks it may have a factor but ultimately it depends on whats popular now, with the week or at least month. |

Please guys, if you don't know how to work out Jump rankings by going back the right amount of weeks and not counting colors and new series, than please stop talking about them lol. Also if you don't know about the significance of the TOC than lol @ posts like the one above this. TOC matters for JUMP, much more than the other 2 big mags in Sunday and Magazine.

Spoiler for for space:
The Minus arc did a lot of work to get it out of the bottom 5 and the Non Equals part had it being a mid tier series on the verge of cracking the Top 5, this is frankly terrible and shows that Japan doesn't like the direction of the manga. Don't worry man you can still enjoy it, I'm sure Fullbringer Bleach had some fans too. Quote:

It's also hilarious how you want to point me out and that guy and than ignore the crap that came out of the Zen faction as soon as the pics for this latest chapter leaked. Last edited by Westlo; 2012-06-18 at 10:47. |

I don't deny that Zenkichi fans can be guilty as well, but that doesn't automatically mean you're justified.
No, I've seen you bitching about how the "characters i dont like"=manga going downhill", and oh look, rankings just happen to prove my point. |

Shaman King went on for 300 chapters and got several spin offs, Medaka box is even half that age. Did you look at those ratings which were mediocre at best. Fucking Nisekoi has better average rank than Medaka box in comparison to that time, so yes even the treasure hunt arc was poorly rated in comparison to average mid rank Shouen jump title like most of Medaka box, it's doing better than most of Medaka box arcs but even this arc is approaching that level. If the rank mattered so much it wouldn't have gotten an anime period. Especially a slice of life one when everyone knows the slice of life part of Medaka box wasn't popular. It's doing fine, sales wise it bit lower than some of the other mid tier shouen jump titles but it's not far off, it's not Magico etc tier. And if you guys even payed attention THERE WAS NO JOKER SECTION. that was like two chapters which according to 8 week rule wouldn't be included in the current ratings, either the end of Aijimu arc arc was fine as well as the begining of black wedding arc, (not including the two joker chapters), or the 8 rule doesn't completely apply. Either way your wrong. Love how you use circluar arguements saying Medaka box is doing terrible without stating precisely why. Medaka box has ALWAYS been at or near the bottom 5 according to your reasoning it should have been cancelled long ago. Why hasn't it volume sales. Now lets look at those volume sales, oh wait they're fine. So what is your arguemnet again. That's right you don't have one. We go through this shit every single time anyone with half a brain would have realised the correlation. Talk to me when Medaka box's volume sales are 50K or lower or better yet 80K or lower. Otherwise shut up with your garbage. Last edited by Tenchi Hou Take; 2012-06-18 at 11:42. |

--- As for Medaka Box doing bad and Kumagawa being a savior? Medaka Box has always done bad, especially during its early run. Kumagawa does have a positive effect on the rankings, but I don't think it's as substantial as Westlo is making out to be—though nowhere as little as what Tenchi claims. Also, there is no way to say how Medaka Box anime is doing, because the first bluray will come out on July 25th and online buzz about anime isn't always in line with actual sales. However, I don't think the anime will sell well. I don't think Gainax is doing Medaka Box justice. (The only decision of theirs I could stand by was getting Paku Romi for Unzen, but any director/sound director in their right mind would get her. Let's not even get into changing the chapters, places, etc... To think I trusted Gainax... I miss Shinbou.) In any case, Medaka Box is definitely safe for a while and there really is no reason to discuss if it's doing bad in the rankings or not. And there is especially no reason to get so riled up over it. Essentially, just like most of the arguments about the latest chapter, this seems to boil down to favorite character conflict. So it'd be best to drop any pretense and just go all out with Zenkichi vs. Kumagawa really.

That's all I'm saying. Though like you said that is all it really is about, I was simply trying to state to Westlo that the current situation is far from dire and that he just hates Zenkichi. He obviously refuses to belive this. |

It's not that relevant unless that could explain increased merchandise sales from fans who don't want buy manga or volumes. It could also say that there is a market for this series and it need to be marketed more. Perhaps, this series has a fanbase that is more into online reading.
