To be honest I didnt think this would be any good, but I looked it up on wiki anyway and to my surprise, it is written by Nisio Ishin, the guy who wrote the light novels of the Bakemonogatari and Katanagatari series, which im a big fan of, so I've decided to read this too. It's pretty great so far, I'm enjoying it. I hope a decent studio decides to animate it one day.

Been reading it since chapter 3 or so.

If we're lucky, we'll get an animation by next spring. There is probably enough material to get a full season now, but they might wait for the end of the current arc in case viewership is high and they continue.

Though I'm sure filler would be amusing as well.

Okay, it took me a day to finish reading the 52 chapters thanks to people distracting me, but now that I am up to date, I can safely say this is a really fantastic series. It has become one of my favourite manga ever along with Kenichi. It has everything I love in a anime/manga, Action, Comedy and Romance (a bit) specifically, along with some very awesome characters.

I'm curious as to how long this will be, Nisio Ishin's other works are pretty short (compared to standard shounen), so I suspect this to be done in a year from now at most, but I could be surprised. Oh well, as long as it isn't dragged out and he keeps the story the way he intended it, then im sure I'll continue to love it.

One thing that worries me is the fact i'm not sure how popular this manga is in Japan, and since it's in WSJ, i'm afraid they will dump it before it finishes. I will rage hard if that happens.

Kind of a boring chapter, I think. Just revealing that Medaka's sister still has emotions, and the enemy gets even stronger. I heard that Medaka Box is going to be canceled in like 10 chapters any validity to that statement.

Really? That's great not a chance of getting cancelled then, cause last time I checked it was in the bottom 5 and bottom 10 the week before that I think. Is the mask kid dead? or is he just knocked out from the pain.

He's not dead. They got the later raws out if you want to look at the later chapters.

I don't usually reading raws, I can tell what's happening it just doesn't have the same impact as when I read with text. I guess I just like getting the full experience when I read it.

And, That's good I guess I like that mask kid he's empathetic.

Chapters 54 and 55 are out!

So Medaka chan has the ability to copy and perfect anyone's abnormality. This Kumogawa guy looks pretty creepy.

Isn't Kumagawa like the first person she used perseus mode on? I think I remember something about that in the flashbacks, or at least the only thing relevant I can think of with a transfer student. It was a while ago so don't trust me.

Yeah i think he was the first person to make Medaka chan mad along time ago from what Zenkechi said. He's the only person Medaka chan couldn't change.

Yeah that's who I was thinking of. Hopefully he will be able to win, most of the fights so far are 'Get injured>Get injured>Revelation>Win'. Though I'm pretty sure that Medaka will win, or change him whichever comes first.

I think I may have just read the series too fast, but I was under the impression that the guy who made Medaka mad was dead... I thought that it was implied that he killed himself. Oh well. XD Still an awesome series. I'm kind of sad that their sister isn't a crazzy scientist anymore, but I also like the fact that Medaka isn't going DBZ hair wise anymore. XD Viva Mars mode. tongue.gif
