Then there's Zen, and considering how little material we get that's about him, he's hardly the 'focus' of the manga. |

Like, for example, a murder trial. If we were to ignore what a person had to say <with a grain of salt of course> we would easily convict them, whether their innocent or not. Without trying to find out why they did what they did, we wouldn't know whether it was self defense, or simple morale collapse. But... I guess for manga's you're allowed to think that way... |

Knowing about villains is fine but I'd much rather not have it done the Naruto way which takes chapters upon chapters. Then some of the things involved lead to people hating the villains anyway (Nagato anyone?)
Honestly, if its like One Piece and we get them mentioning their motives without dragging it on I'm all good. We didn't have to suffer a 5 chapter flashback to understand what happened to Gecko Maria for instance. He stated it and we saw through his actions why he did what he did and what made him who he is. Anyway, this was a fun chapter. Nice to see that she didn't outright stomp him. He is fairing better than Unzen at any rate. The comment about Nabeshima made me chuckle as well. |

Every time I read this topic I get depressed with the bashing. The fact this sells should at least tell you guys what audience this manga is directed to (and why the "critics" wouldn't enjoy this), then again, I'm the type of guy who went nuts seeing Gogeta the first time as a kid. And FFS, it's only chapter 31, in terms of pacing for Shonens, it's like infant stage.

Hatsukoi got cut because it did shit in the TOC, was way too ambitious for 7-12 year olds (like they could handle 6 simultaneous love triangles lol), didn't sell as well as Ichigo 100% and it was just bad.
Medaka's selling better than Hatsukoi and atm seems nowhere near the end, not really worth comparing the two. Quote:

You guys honestly cannot use Hatsukoi Limited as an example, simply because it ran in the same magazine, therefore it should be comparable? No, Hatsukoi seems like it ended, and it's of a completely different genre when compared to Medaka Box. Its scope also allowed it to pretty much end whenever the heck it would want to, I'd like to believe that Hatsukoi ended naturally, or as naturally as a cut manga would have because it pretty much left me satisfied. Anyways, the way Medaka is being paced right now makes it seem like it will last a little longer, it isn't rushing towards anything that signifies the end. If it were to end at all, it would end after this arc.

Sometimes, like TLR not even because of the planned cut but because authors personal life (though granted TLR would have gotten a cut anyway, just bit later). |

Also, little fact, Umineko is a sound novel. Not a visual, even though it's pretty darn visual if you ask me. |

We can't go a week without the MB hate brigade spreading their doom, gloom, and constant negativity in regards to the series. Good lord enough with the fear mongering and bashing already.
Medaka Box can not be compared to Hatsukoi Limited. Hatsukoi ran at a time period where there were still a lot of Jump's old guard around (Neuro, ES21, TLR) that were all relatively successful(Not One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Reborn, and Gintama level) and left less room for new series to cushion it. DGM moving to Jump SQ also meant more space for other series to move in. As of now, those series have ended or moved while this manga has been running and newer series that have started have done worse than Medaka Box and bitten the dust. (Akaboshi, Kagijin, Hoop Men, for example) This can not be compared to Hatsukoi because even volume wise, WSJ didn't even print enough volumes initially to meet the demand for Medaka's 1st volume. Hatsukoi's 2nd volume did 40150 on its first week. Medaka Box's 2nd volume did 54,194 in its first week with the possibility of doing more on its 2nd week. Psyren, which is a series that was in a similar position to Medaka Box for most of its running time(Note, in the bottom 5) has barely hit that number of sales even after 8 volumes being released yet it has managed to go on long enough to eventually start ranking better. Partly because it too had other manga that were doing worse than it in some way or another. Medaka has other series that can arguably be canceled before it as well as better sales than other manga in the magazine when compared at volume 2. I'd love if people would knock off playing the cancellation card and save it for when it actually looks like whats happening in the story is being rushed. But of course since certain people seem eager to just have the series fail unless it goes back to being exactly like the one shot that is too much to ask for. |
