| Mixed thoughts on this. I enjoyed Medaka Box (not the anime as much though) but the cover looks kinda...generic. |
 |
| Extremely looking forward to it. Big fan of Medaka Box. The male lead design is very interesting, I like it. |
 |
| Don't like how the leads look on the cover, too kiddie for me. |
 |
| Please let this be as funny, stupid, crazy, loving, makes no sense, why?, worst series, best series, new pharse for op, and whatever others come to mind.As Medaka Box. |
 |
The kid looks edgy and recycled, come on you can do better than this :( |

| is that a female kumagawa on the right? im ready |
| For a second I thought the Kumagawa arc was getting animated... |

| Medaka Box was awesome, so I'll try this. But man, every single WSJ author is moving to Jump Square. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Medaka Box was so random, but that was what made it awesome. I hope this manga will have the same 'feeling' with it. It just has a weird title though. |
| sup |
| Haven't tried Medaka Box but I love Monogatari, so I'll check this out malvarez1 said: But man, every single WSJ author is moving to Jump Square. ^ |

| Bloody Hell, this is the best news of this year. Finally, something new more akin to his (NisiOisiN) best work than to these countless fan-pandering stories. Also, this kid looks like male Youka, talking about the best character. ...or like younger Kamome but without shadow on eyes, ditto the gender. |
There is such thing as shit taste. Only idiots think that every "work of art" should have the same value. Persona anime are good. Deal with it. |
| high quality jump sq preview pic. |
|
| Hey... Hey...you know what would be nice? Adapting the 3rd and 4th arcs of Medaka Box...DO IT GAINAX! But in all seriousness, I'm pumped for this. |
| Medaka Box as a manga was decent I suppose, but the characters were just so great! I wonder whether he can make someone that is on pare with Kumagawa, definitely gonna read this! |

That show's whole story is pretty darn dumb even for an action shonen. Asano is a far better and consistent writer. Isin's writing style is often just otaku fodder unless you count 20 minute bath scenes with loli character or Kanbaru talking about how she wants the D and is not wearing a bra as good storytelling. Where Isin goes for titilation, Asano tackles sexuality. |

Where Isin goes for titilation, Asano tackles sexuality. Yes, Isin can really make mistakes with his series, you can either have a Zaregoto/Katanagatari or you can have a Nisemonogatari/Tsukimonogatari. I didn't liked Medaka Box either, it was average, it was a shock after I saw Isin as one of the author. As being consistent, I don't find Asano as that much. His stories can be interesting, but sometimes fall "trying to be smart", but yes, it can have several smart points, mind you I only read Nijigahara Holograph, Umibe no Onnanoko and Oyasumi Punpun. I think that Asano could be much better writing novels. |
| Will read, Medaka Box was awesome. |
 "One must die and one must live. No victory, no defeat. The survivor will carry on the fight. It is our destiny... The one who survives will inherit the title of Boss. And the one who inherits the title of Boss will face an existence of endless battle." |
| Nisio's work doesnt translate well in manga format. Light novels are a better fit for him. |

| not gonna lie that boy looks badass |
| I like dem dead-fish eyes; anime/manga needs more of it. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Akira Akatsuki's style is alright, fitted well enough when he did Medaka Box. I hope, Nisio will get busy enough to stop wrighting new Monogatari books so Shaft could move on at last. |

Isin's writing style is often just otaku fodder unless you count 20 minute bath scenes with loli character or Kanbaru talking about how she wants the D and is not wearing a bra as good storytelling. Where Isin goes for titilation, Asano tackles sexuality. It's really not. The only time that it strayed was in Nisemonogatari and he said publicly that he wrote that for fun or himself and wasn't intended for publishing. Aside from that I found his style and quality of writing to be very consistent, across multiple series. What was bad about Tsukimonogatari? you are comparing Koimonogatari an arc where all the build of previous arc (From as far as Nisemonogatari) comes into fruition, to an arc that was a mere build up for the mysteries and some of the prominent characters of Final season. You don't even know the story and you are already calling it dumb? Lol. The title is illness boy and illness girl, clearly the boy appearance isn't edgy and has something to do with the plot. Similar to Kumagama's appearance when he was a kid and the contrast to it when he grew up (in the look of the female lead). Heavily disagree. They both aim for different things. Niso isn't otaku fodder (new buzzword yay) In all of the works I read for him and especially Monogatari series, above all else, he does character studies. He takes the mundanes of teenager problems and insert them in a supernatural setting to emphasis them and analyze the characters like he did with Nadeko and Hanekewa. In terms of style it's always witty, funny with a bit of meta in Monogatari or very meta in Medaka Box or subversion of tropes in Katanagatari. The story is never a big focus, even in Katangatari where the whole drive is supposed to be the journey for the swords but most of the time is spent focus on the protagonist (to the point where he literally skipped a hyped up fight). Medaka Box sacrifice the story after the Minus arc for the sake of being cheeky and meta. Where a whole arc is composed of the concept of the ''Shounen manga main character''. Yes, there is a lot of idle chatter about things that don't really matter. But for me it has a charm to it. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's funny because it was too trivial, sometimes it's actually smart. In the end it's part of the experience for me. Sexuality with Niso is used as something fun, playful and a bit of tease. It doesn't explore it seriously. Just a jab here and there about LN ecchi as a self awareness of sort, while at the same time sometimes indulging in it himself, a contradiction. While Asano uses sexuality as a key element to explore his characters, which just shows how different their style is. Dismissing Niso as that term you stated is as the same as dismissing Asano as an edgy sex maniac. Personally speaking I prefer Niso. Asano's style is too dramatic for my taste sometimes and the emphasis on sexuality is something I don't really care for. His works is more for someone who is looking for melancholic often a bit depressing looks into life, it's meaning and nihilism. His character are means to tell the story, and outlook in life while I prefer the opposite found in Niso. |

| holy shit. how the fuck my post can be flame wars? i have no intention of it. fuck you wondersonC. also both of them are overrated. deal with it. nisio issin is definitive of pretentious. when you realize the meaning of longass dialogue can be discribed with very short and clear sentence. also his word play is not even that great. asano inio is just urobutcher but with more reasonable character. all of the character given reason to be retard, everyone become retard, and everyone will always retard. just let them suffer asano. bring salt to everyone |
"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| kuma you really talk out of your ass. OT:I actually like Medaka Box so I will be definitely looking forward to it. |
 |
| Hahah the way the "shou" of shounen shoujo are written. That's not the character 少 (little) as used for boys/ girls, but 症, which means "illness". NisiOisiN really loves that kind of play. This already tells us the kind of story it will be x). Interesting, one thing I like with NisiOisiN is some of characters he creates. Some of them are really nice. Let's hope he manages to create some very good ones with that new manga. |
