Taken from Onemanga:
Kurokami Medaka, a first year, is elected as Student Council President, and the first thing she does is establish a suggestion box. Since she was just elected as Student Council President, she's holding all the Student Council's responsibilities, and wearing their armbands. So, she asks for her childhood friend, Hitoyoshi Zenkichi, for help.
Comments:
-It has some Haruhi-esque characteristics, buts all in good fun.

I'm starting to get bored of this manga because it seems to glorify Medaka to the point of absurdity. I know she is the main character, but it has little content aside from that. The side characters really look meaningless in comparison.
Peace.

Probably but I'm sure there are others just none of them want to post or say anything about it. I'm still following it though, it's still interesting specially the last page of this chapter...sheesh.
This kinda remind me of the one example in bakuman where a mangaka tries too hard by giving a regular manga battle themes.
I really would have prefer this as a school comedy.
I love this manga. I can easily see how Medaka's God Mode Sue powers would put off most people, to the point that I wonder how it hasn't been canceled yet, but I like it mostly for her absurd audaciousness. The fight with Unzen took things to such a ridiculous level I'm wondering how they'll manage to stay grounded in reality but now she finally has a bunch of other super people to fight against so hopefully things will level out some. Despite their somewhat limited roles I like the side chars a lot too, but I get the impression that the power gap between them and Medaka and these 'Flask' people is going to be too huge to cross so they'll probably have to continue in a cheerleader sort of role for Medaka.

I can't believe this is from the same author of Bakemonogatari and Katanagatari...
Still, i guess it's mildly popular and there's always the chance he might be going somewhere with this so i decided to give it a shot though chapter one didn't really get my hopes up.
Heh, this series doesn't seem to have anything in common with either of those other than featuring characters with ridiculously thought out and ridiculously ridiculous special abilities and lots of OMGWTF moments as said characters crash into each other. When you boil that away though it's really just Tenjou Tenge/Air Gear with a narrower setting and a female main character.
I am currently stalled around chapter 65ish where Medaka's Student Council and allies, mostly defeated and face turned former enemies, were gearing up to battle the third or fourth organized group of super powered bad guys. I'll admit it was a fun ride getting there as there's lots of eye candy and cool moments but I don't think there's much more they can wring out of the concept of Medaka has the cheat codes to life and tries to use them to bring peace and joy to people who don't want it.
This series is aggressively bad, i have no idea why i'm reading it but expect major buzzkilling from me in the future
As required by yet another lost bet between Arch and I, I have caught up on Medaka Box, up through chapter 91.
----------
Favorite character: Nabeshima Nekomi. I adored her smirking evilness and delightfully playful nature and expressions. Every time she appears it brings a smile to my face. She hasn't really changed that much since she first appeared. No crazy "rebuilds" or random power-ups. Nekomi has always been herself.
Kujira comes in as a close second to Nekomi. She's just supremely adorable in her own twisted way.
Least favorite character: Kumagawa. No surprise there. Half the shit he says barely makes sense, and the rest is just annoying.
Close second to Kumagawa is Unzen. I hate pompous little kid genius characters like him. His sister's code-talk isn't much better.
Between the reviews on manga-updates and stuff Arch spews in the channel, I expected this series to be the worst thing I've ever read. Now, it certainly isn't great, but it's a pretty good comedy series. I kind of miss how Medaka used to show up emulating someone else's pose, but the funny bits are still present in the recent chapters. One thing that does make this series quite good is the frequent times they take a cliche of the shonen genre and then twist it around right at the last moment. Kumagawa has been especially good for this, even if I really dislike him.
I enjoyed the beginning (mostly for Kikaijima and her fetish with wearing a swimsuit underneath), and when the Class 13 arc began, I felt a similarity to series like Flame of Recca, but with more comedy. Oudo's super arrogance was like reading about DS in a manga.Once Kumagawa showed up I was immediately irritated by his downright obnoxious manner of speaking and hax abilities. I was a bit let down by the Student Council Re-election arc when it began, but it's been turning out okay. However, that and Kumagawa in general has gotten better with the appearance of Ajimu and how her influence causes him to lose control.
Emukae's fight was amusing, and Zenkichi's sorta-confession was amusing and slightly touching. I'm sure her childhood was probably the most traumatic out of all the -13 backgrounds we've seen so far (puppies dissolving in her hands!), but the Student Council and partly Kumagawa's screwup managed to turn her around. One of them needed to get reformed during this arc, and she was probably the best one to start with.
The Hinokage and monocle fight was boring. It went on longer than it had to.
On a final note, I miss Medaka's exposed breasts. It really fit with her character. Why should she hide her fabulous body? I felt she was far too accepting of Zenkichi's mother just fixing it. Thankfully, Kujira refusing to wear certain undergarments makes up for it.
Lol, are you kidding me?

Well, it certainly fits the big G's style. No other series in recent memory has insulted my intelligence so throughly each and every chapter, yet with such skill that I feel compulsed to continue reading.... Hopefully they can at least replicate the unique art without simplifying it down too much. If they can, I predict success.

It's utter bulshit, they should be doing Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer. That shit is gold, and totally fits their style
I agree. Wakusei no Samidare is incomparable to this bullshit. With what Gainax did with TTGL, I'm sure they could pull it off.
Peace.
