As a result, its dramatic/emotional shallowness versus its connection to my favourite studio is kinda conflicting for me. As a core plot/concept I actually kinda feel like it is the worst of Nishio's series which, aside from offering me the chance to (sometimes uncomfortably) be pandered to, is mainly only notable to me because of the gorgeous animation Shaft seems to pour into it.

Hum,Bakemonogatari is more than what you say. Bakemonogatari, it's two great main character aka Araragi and Senjouhara. The relationship between the two of them is unique and great. One of the great point about Bakemonoigatari is that the character are fun, interesting and original. You don't watch Bakemonogatari for the plot but for the character. But even so, the plot is not bad at all.

The plot resolving around "the fox lady" ? Wtf ? Have you seen the 12 episode before ?

Bakemonogatari is about Araragi and the poeple he meets and how he helps them. For each of these people you have a story. That's all.

You can say that you don't like it but don't say thing which are not true.

And Araragi a loser ? He saves everyone, he's kind and you're saying that he's a loser ?

Anyway, it'soff topic so I think we should go back to MedakaBox


Ah ah ah, I got a bad rep because I said that's off topic looooooool. Some people are really stupid

Will be interesting to see if it still has that arounnd 40k second week kick that vols 4-6 had. If second week is 25k than it's still doing the same as vols 4-6 really, just more frontloaded. If it's 40k than popularity has gone up for sure..

[KLGChaos]

Medaka was is the top ten again this week. It's been going pretty well ever since the Zen x Shiranui confession. I guess people were looking forward to the StuCo battle.

On another note, I've been highly impressed with enigma. I thought the series was interesting and unique when it first came out and it's nice to see it doing so well. It's been ranked for 3 weeks now, once with colors and twice in the top 5. Nice to see that all WSJ readers aren't mindless drones. :P

[Iron21]

Spoiler for 75:

Did what's her name just mind fuck Naze.

For a second there, I thought Naze had the battle won.

[Last Carpet]

Spoiler for Chapter 75:

Naze vs Shibuki
Apparently Munakata taught Naze his Hidden Weapons technique. And it looks like we saw a bit into Naze's past. I can't wait for the translation.

Also nice to see Mukae again, although I'm a bit surprised she didn't go all "Yandere" for Zenkichi the moment she saw him. Has she given up on him? Whether she's Plus, Minus or Zero, I hope not.

Shibuki seems to be able to cause cuts and slashes on people just by touching them. "Dead Scar" is right. I really like Shibuki, though with her build it's hard to believe she's only a freshman.

Chinese scans are out so...

Spoiler for :

Her power is to reopen any old wounds no matter how far back or how small. Hence the armor Naze was wearing didn't work. The mind fuck bit was about how the power also works on mental trauma.

[Doc Astaroth]

Spoiler for Chapter 75:

I wonder why the Normalize Medicine didn´t work... Maybe they were created for the use by Plus Abnormals?

And once again, Kumagawa delivers a "I know it´s fake, but I still would have believe him"-moment. It´s astonishing, how well the author pulls this off.

For this fight however... I wouldn´t say that Naze is already down. After all, she put herself in this misery, so I guess her abnormal Stoicism allows her to stand up and fight again.

Still, I don´t think she will win, but Busty Chick certainly will not defeat her with her abnormality.

Spoiler:

Woot! Put another in the win column for me. I saw it coming and called it first. But dear lord, her Minus affects the mental aspects of a person as well? Now I did not expect it to go that far. They weren't kidding about the Minus abilities because almost every one we have seen so far is hax and won't do much but cause misery for people.

Should be interesting how Shibuki and Naze have their fight conclude.

Spoiler:

Naze tries to escape Busty Chick by turning out the lights and hiding.

Medaka decides to help her, so... She smashs the glass (WITH KUMAGAWA´S HEAD!) and encourage her big sister.

Who pulls herself together and uses her talent to... create a fire which results in getting Busty Chick frozen?!

Well, now I´m interested...

ROFL at Medaka who use his head

[Westlo]

Ranked #6 this issue and getting extra pages next issue.

2nd week for vol 7

20, *31,814 *,117,014 Beelzebub vol.8
21, *30,562 *,113,351 Medaka Box vol.7

Not really far off Beelzebub which has been pushed massively by Jump and has received an anime so quickly.. the anime should make this gap much larger though..

Last 3 issues it has ranked 6th, 7th and 5th...

Even though Minuses lose all the time, I still hope Shibuki beats Naze.

Best part of the chapter

[Doc Astaroth]

Spoiler for "Chapter 77 spoiler:

・戦挙戦、冷凍倉庫の試合場で「過負荷」に目覚めた名瀬の攻撃に対し、虚勢を張る飛沫。
逆に自信に溢れた名瀬と目が覚めていた球磨川、急場しのぎで目覚めてしまった過負荷では能力も容易には使い こなせないだろうと指摘し、飛沫にいつもの表情で声援を送る。

飛沫が球磨川のアドバイスで気力を取り戻して、再び名瀬に致死武器をかます。

スカーデッドの衝撃に撃たれても、天を仰ぎ見て微動だにしない名瀬に驚く飛沫。
しかし、名瀬は出血すらしていない。超低温で血管や傷を直接塞いで、出血を止めたらしい。

古賀曰く、名瀬は無傷で何かを得ようなんて考えておらず、名瀬の心はいつでも痛みと共にあると の事。

心の傷を開くんだ！と叫ぶ蝶ヶ崎だが、既に飛沫はそうしていた・・・。

不敵な笑みを浮かべる名瀬が、頭を冷やしたからな・・・凍る火柱は氷を操る能力ではなく、体温を操る能力で 、心の傷(トラウマ)にも好きなだけクールになれる・・・と言う。

名瀬は追い詰められたとは思っておらず、そもそも球磨川、怒江、飛沫の３つのマイナスを自分に見せるのは、 自分にマイナスを作ってくれと言ってるようなものとうそぶく。

呆れ果てた球磨川がやれやれと肩をすくめ、メタな発言をかまし、
追い詰められたら奇跡的に都合よく新たなパワーに目覚めるとか、そういうのは週刊少年ジャンプ の
中だけにしてくれ、と言う球磨川に対し、名瀬は怒りの表情で真っ向から、漫画の読みすぎで漫画脳のお前に教 えてやる、と言う。


・球磨川はもう面倒になったのか、飛沫に投げやりな指示を送る。
飛沫がもう負けていいということを聞き、気力が回復して最後の奥の手を繰り出す。

笑いながら両手を上にかざす飛沫。
スカーデッドは生物にしか効果が無いはずなのに、スカーデッドが乱れ飛び、
倉庫の外にいるめだかや怒江達の古傷が開いて血が弾ける。
建物全体が振動して、何度も修繕を繰り返した所から傷が開いき崩れ始める・・・。


建物ごとその場にいる全員を潰し道連れにしようと、『憎武器(にくしぶき)　バズーカーデッド』が繰り出さ れる。


・風紀委員室で、戦挙戦を観戦に行かない雲仙弟は、諦めた奴が諦めない奴に勝てるわけない、と鍋島猫美に語 る。


・戦挙戦、冷凍倉庫の試合場で崩壊が止まる。静寂に包まれている。

縦横無尽に氷の柱が崩壊しかけた建物を支えている。
倒れた飛沫の上に彼女を助けるように太い柱が・・・。

名瀬が、飛沫が雪崩に勝てるわけない、と語りかける。

名瀬は女子の服を剥ぐのは気乗りしないぜ！とノリノリ。
そんな名瀬に迫って来られ、両手を上げて降参の意思を示す飛沫。

ギブアップ無しで、相手を全部脱がすまで続けるルールだが、惨め過ぎるので自分で脱ぎたいと飛 沫が言う。

名瀬が背中を向けた瞬間に態度を豹変させる飛沫。
ツララを折りナイフ代わりに構え名瀬に迫る。

振り返りざまに名瀬から放たれた青白い炎は飛沫を包み、ツララごと飛沫の制服を焼き払う。
真っ黒焦げの飛沫。
名瀬の片手には氷で作った小さい鏡がしっかり握られている。

おわり

補足

・最終ページのアオリには『完璧！！ 勝利！！』とか描かれているが、長者原から勝敗は告げられていない。
・めだかがガラスを割った事も今のところ長者原は無視。

Looks like...
