I'm excited, but also bummed out. I was hoping that their next work would be about spoiler[Kumagawa's son that we saw in the last chapter of Medaka.]

Huh. A left-handed protagonist in a manga. I don't see that very often.

This is what the artist actually says, as items in parenthesis are not part of the sentence:
Quote:
..NisiOisin and Akira Akatsuki — the writer and artist behind the Medaka Box manga — are reuniting for a new series..

Meaning, the writer (Nisio) and artist (Akatsuki) are teaming up again.

what spoiler[Kumagawa has a son! where did this happen exactly?]

and these characters look kinda like a young medaka and Kumagawa. I really wish we could get a continuation of medaka box but i must admit its best to end before people start getting sick of it. Im definitely missing Kumagawa more than any other character

Pretty certain he means spoiler[Kikaijima's baby], whom part of the fandom believes to be his son.

Yeah, I suppose I'm reaching there. It's not as if there's any confirmation about it Sad . But I suppose you're right. Better that the Medaka series end on a high note than struggle along.

Medaka Box WAS struggling along by the end of its run - it rated low on the rankings and the last arc is pretty EH. Honestly, I enjoyed the series but mainly for the election arc and the subsequent marriage arc with the word powers. The were the arcs which really escaped the boundaries of typical shounen - which is what NisiO is good at.

Also I'd say the mc looks more like Unzen and another female lead? Medaka's eyes rarely looked as large or innocent.

I thoroughly enjoyed Medaka Box and was disappointed by how they ended the manga, but what can I say when you can only do so much with the story. Anyways I am glad to see that they are starting a new project and look to see what they can give us with it.
