So I am reading this manga (at chapter 95 atm) and can't really comprehend why this retard traded his All Fiction, arguably the most OP power in the series so far, for that other useless power that did literally nothing.
Someone explain?
Also does this manga get better from here? not liking these not equal guys right now
Pretentious drivel from start to finish.
Medaka has plot armour so she'll always win. On the other hand, Kumagawa will always lose ,because he's like the Vegeta of the series. It doesn't matter how powerful Kumagawa is — Vegeta will outshine the main character.
Who cares if he has All Fiction? Megaka will acquire some new ridiculous powerup in the middle of the battle that will let her surpass him.
So, he might as well trade away All Fiction for a more meta power that might make a real difference.
I know that sounds retarded, but that's just the kind of manga this is.
Mostly he did it to try to win an argument (he failed)
but Book Marker is also stupidly OP (it's basically a de-leveling ability)
Minuses can't beat pluses, but minuses can beat other minuses. So Kumagawa decided to turn Medaka into a minus and get a chance to beat her. It's not that hard.
All fiction can't erase abilities, book maker can actively nullify them
Kumagawa's whole point is that he never wins and people still like him
Iihiko arc is fresh, continue reading
The ending is kino
>Book Marker
>brings a person down to the user's level
>Since Kumagawa is a minus his level is pretty much in the negatives
It's basically the second most OP ability next to All Fiction
Book maker backfires when you get strong. Also wouldn't it make others able to use it if it makes them equal?
Thanks for reminding me why I loved this manga so much. I dropped it around the engagement arc and completely forgot about it. Might pick up later again, does it get better after that?
same level not abilities
besides they usually get too demotivated to even test that theory
though it wouldn't be as effective if it was used by anyone that isn't a minus
Iihiko arc is pretty good, It never falls down as some others shounens do.
Iihiko arc is worth reading just for the FRESH
What is Nisio doing these days? I like Monogatari, but Medaka was the wildest ride ever
I think he's writing some monogatari spinoffs
Also does he write for the bakemonogatari manga? It differs slightly from the anime(could also that it's a more faithful adaptation, though)
I think Okitegami Kyouko no bibouroku is still ongoing too
The whole series just deals with super OP abilities and how they counter each other. It's a bit like "Ha my ability counters all abilities." "Hahaha! My ability counters all ability counters while being classified as a skill so your ability doesn't do shit lolol."
B-but it's a deconstruction of the shounen genre!
As long as you've got the autism for it then it's a great series. Batman vs Superman debates are popular for those who are into that sort of thing.
Because of the rules of that world a Minus cannot defeat a Plus, regardless of the difference in power. That world runs on manga rules: no matter how strong the bad guy is, the good guy will still beat him. But Bookmaker can turn a Plus into a Minus, thus making it possible for Kumagawa to win, in theory.
If kumagawa won it would destroy the his character and his motives
Only thing he can win at is character polls
Reminder that he knocked up pic related
best couple in the manga. Mukae ship sank unfortunately
Didn't he write Juuni taisen or whatever that zodiac battle royale series was?

Pretentious deconstruction of various genres kino from start to finish.
Fixed
Not Equal arc pays off with that Zenkichi moment
Once again nisio turns the audiences opinion of a charater upside down. How does he do it? It was even more apparent with kaiki than kumagawa since girls will fawn over any bishounen regardless of the actions that he takes, but I did not like Kumagawa at first
He should've gotten with Sleepybutt, damn shame.
It’s a stupid manga. Just enjoy the great Medaka ryona that you’ll be getting soon.
sleep girl best girl
I miss it bros
Nothing in Jump remotely looks appealing anymore compared to it
I just want a fucking good trainwreck for once, a manga which will be a wild ride
Does anyone actually like Medaka? It seems like everyone that reads this doesn’t like her.
shingeki is a trainwreck though
She's too op
Nisio made her unlikable, that's her character flaw, she's too perfect. She's the shounen Hanekawa
>I just want a fucking good trainwreck for once, a manga which will be a wild ride
Have you tried Ingoshima?
Medaka was a shounen hero. People who wanted to like her because she was hot felt really gay and rejected her while people who wanted to like her because she was a generic (male) shounen protagonist liked her. Most people on Yas Forums are cute/lewdfags so you see a lot of hate around here.
She’s kind of a cunt, and not in a good way either. A character like Satsuki Kiryuin is more likable than Medaka.
Kumagawa won in the sense he always lost. He explains it in the end.
I’m not a moefag, I just think Medaka was an unlikable autist.
So exactly the same as the vast majority of shounen protagonists? Imagine Medaka had no tits and spiky orange hair.
