Hopefully this doesn't end with just 1 volume >_> but I'll keep reading... it seems interesting for now.
Edit: (I just have little trust on anything serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump, the lowest of any other magazine).

was thinking of starting a thread for this but gald someone else has done, that way I don't have to go to through the trouble of doing so
I really like this cause Medaka is totally awesome, she's rather typical yet not at the same time. There is a sort of "Haruhi" feel about her but I much prefer Medaka to Haruhi. Love how she appears behind people doing the same pose as them plus I also love the over protective/possessive types especailly how here, it comes off here is very nicely need moar Medaka-swan!!!

God I love this manga. Here's hoping it lasts a good while, and I love the relationship between Zenkichi and Medaka. Not overdone, but there's just enough there to please the fans. I also second liking the whole "pose" thing she does behind people. she's just too much fun.

Don't think we should worry about the romance part since 1) the main character is already in love with Medaka and 2) in the lastest chapter Medaka showed signs of jealous when Zenkichi mentioned that he and Shiranui were working together to capture the dog. Guess she doesn't like other people using whats hers.

above me ^
AGREED! but theres some thing irks me about that loli Shiranui girl, may be she a ninja?, she know too much for just a side character. Plus we see her on a tree branch before. How the hell she climb to that place with that small figure her self? Medaka is better than Haruhi, beside have similar trait like over confidence and shameless (in one shot chapter, she's ask Zenkichi to come in just with her bra and panty on) hope this manga have a good storyline along with humor in it, unlike some poor drawed manga that I read in long time just to meet a story with some character in it by endure so much goofy chapter (over 50 chap ). |

I like the Oneshot better, it does have better moments and a better feel to the story.
The part with her asking for Zenkichi to stay be her side is very sweet. Zenkichi is a pretty cool male lead, he ain't like the usual useless morons around. Altho his jacket/jersey escapade in ch 2 is lol Just hoping the realtionship between Medaka and Zenkichi actually moves along and not dragged out for like forever. Well Medaka is rather jealous in ch 3 so I guess it might actaully move along with the story in this case.

I found Zenkichi resemble Shinagawa from Yankee-kun to Megane-chan. Their psychology and relation with female lead ale quite simmilar. Mendaka is more simmilar to Haruhi, just without superpowers. Quote:

I'm really this manga so far. There's definitely enough similarities to Haruhi, but enough difference to not really bug me. Either way, I read through the first three chapters and the oneshot, and I gotta say, I'm hooked. The interactions between Zenkichi and Medaka is great, specifically the trust aspect, and, well, Zenkichi just has an awesome name(and isn't the stereotypical weak male protagonist paired with the strong female protagonist).
I'm looking forward to more! |

In these cases I think it hints enough to make you think its the opposite of whats implied, didn't sit right that she would be scared of animals even if she had some sort of traumatic past with them.
Only thing that gets to her is Zenkichi and not getting along with animals, wasn't expecting that part The whole "she's so smart, she's passed back into stupid" reminds me of a old friend at school, she was very smart but some things just completely flew over the top of her at times
