Synopsis

Kurokami Medaka, a first year, is elected as Student Council President, and the first thing she does is establish a suggestion box, later dubbed by students the "Medaka Box." Medaka encourages students to submit any problem to the box without hesitation and promises to take on any issue from anyone.

Since Medaka won the Student Council elections with a staggering 98% of the vote, she ends up as the Council's only member. She asks her childhood friend, Hitoyoshi Zenkichi, for help and he grudgingly agrees, becoming the Student Council's lowest ranking member. Soon Medaka recruits two more people to the Student Council, the former judo club member Akune Kouki as secretary and the current swim club member Kikaijima Mogana, on loan for 300 yen a day, as treasurer.

Now the Student Council members spend their days solving the problems submitted through the Medaka Box, whether they be hooligans in clubs where they don't belong, girls who need help writing love letters or people who've lost their pets, gradually earning the respect and admiration of the entire school.

Background

Medaka Box is a shounen manga written by NISIOISIN, an author well known for a number of novel series of which the most prominent is probably the Monogatari series.

This too falls into that style, though it takes quite a while before it gets there.

The manga begins with an arc ...

Mixed Feelings
bad work, it has a few good things but the majority are bad, the work is only kept afloat by kumagawa, never in my life have I seen a work depend so much on a character to stay alive, most of the arcs are bad, There are only like 1 or 2 good guys and what they did with the final villain is unforgiving from God, that final arc was disgusting because of how bad it was.

The problem with Medaka Box is the plot, it has some interesting characters, but the plot was not carried out in the correct way, Kumagawa carried Medaka Box, in ...

Medaka Box


Indeed, this is a bizarre manga and I rarely have such a split opinion about anything I read.

If you're looking for something that has no story whatsoever, is completely dull and stupid in content, full of plot holes, plot armor without end, bad satire, and some of the worst and most irrelevant shounen fighting ever, that this manga is for you!

However, I have to give the author credit for three things that I liked.
1. the development of the characters after the Kumagawa arc, which you could notice more clearly until the end. Some interesting self-reflections and a decent amount of character conflict and ...
