Hey Kusa it was pretty obvious I was being sarcastic yeah? I mean I even included 2 rolling eyes smilies (aka sarcasm for dummies) and I still got neg repped for hating on Medaka. Whoever did that, I'm not mad, but thanks for the laugh.

There's a crack theory out there that the new girl IS Kumagawa.
-The real Kuma died in middle school -The girl with the reality warping ability turned into him (split personality?) -This explains how Kuma got power that Medaka didn't know about. -Notice how they have the same face if you discount the hair. |

One thing I think Nishio kept doing is dragging his novel writing elements into a manga medium. He likes to keep introducing like metric crapton of stuff that he doesn't really explain until near the end (and obvious the super wordiness of some chapters). A lot of explanations come from word plays, something I don't think entirely translates well into manga. I personally find it acceptable however. |

Holding secrets until the end is fine with Novels, because people can read a large chunk at once and reach the end fairly quickly. Dragged out week after week in a manga is a recipe for disaster, though. People will eventually just get bored with all the mysteries.

Honestly it depends on the manga. Naruto, One Piece, and plenty other series have had over hundreds of chapters before they answered a question to a mystery and to this day still don't have answers to some of them. Its a common thing in successful shounen. One of the things that keeps people reading is to see plot lines get expanded on and resolved.
As for Medaka's wordiness, its fine imo. It is no worse than the typical chapter of One Piece, Sket Dance, Bakuman, or Hunter x Hunter. 4 other series its serialized with so it isn't committing some crime that it should be penalized for. Death Note a few years back is another big example. Spoiler for raw 71:
