''Medaka Box'' is a manga series by author Nisio Isin (of ''[[Bakemonogatari]]'' fame), and artist Akatsuki Akira (of his "fame" as the ero-artist RIROLAND), about the [[The Paragon|paragon]] and all-around perfect student Medaka Kurokami, who is elected as the President of Hakoniwa Academy's student council by 98% of the student body. Possessed of a forceful personality, charisma, and incredible ability, she is accompanied by her loyal and [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]] childhood friend Zenkichi Hitoyoshi, who has been at her side for over thirteen years.
Line 39:
* [[Nonuniform Uniform]]: Everyone in the student council. The default student council uniform itself is black rather than the regular student white, supposedly to symbolize that the student council is meant to be servants to the student body. However, all the student council members have made their own modifications to the uniform:
** Medaka's uniform is [[Form-Fitting Wardrobe|very flattering to her figure]], but the [[Male Gaze|first thing people notice]] is the [[Cleavage Window]] showing off her impressive assets.

** Zenkichi wore his jersey under his uniform jacket in an effort to look cool. The other members of the student council thought it was anything but.
** Akune lowered the neckline of his jacket and forgoes a shirt to show off his manly chest.
Line 50:
* [[Red Armband of Leadership]]: Medaka originally wore all five of the ones for the student council (although only her own is red). She hands them out as more members join.
* [[Running Gag]]: If someone is in the foreground in a dramatic pose of some sort, chances are Medaka is right behind them making the exact same pose.
{{quote|
** Given a [[Cerebus Retcon]] after the [[Genre Shift]], where it's revealed that Medaka is simply aping other people's movements (in addition to their abilities) because she doesn't know how to properly behave like a normal human.
* [[Shout-Out]]: In one of the early chapters, Medaka is explictly referred to as having an "intel chip inside her head" due to her omnicompetence.
Line 112:
* [[Conservation of Ninjutsu]]: In his debut, Kumagawa manages to defeat the Plus 6 and the Loser Team with relative ease. {{spoiler|Later, Munakata manages to hold his own, and even kill Kumagawa by himself. Though Kumagawa was holding back}}.
* [[Contrived Coincidence]]: {{spoiler|"Devil Style", the power Ajimu gave Zenkichi negates this}}:
{{quote|
* [[Cooldown Hug]]: Medaka gets two of these; one by Zenkichi {{spoiler|when she's going berserk after being brainwashed}}, and the whole Student Council {{spoiler|when she's about to kill Unzen}}.
* [[CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable]]: Comes up in chapter {{spoiler|121, along with bits of [[You Fail Biology Forever]]. Not only is the CPR unable to revive Kumagawa, but the fact that Kikaijima even considered performing CPR on a person with a crushed throat is baffling. This is given a [[Lampshade Hanging]] by Munakata.}}
Line 265:
* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: {{spoiler|It takes him 140 chapters, but Medaka finally realizes her feelings for Zenkichi after he defeats her in the new student council election.}}
* [[Right Makes Might]]: Subverted.
{{quote|
* [[Rule of Three]]: As of chapter 119, {{spoiler|the student council has been divided up into three factions: Medaka with Akune on her side, Hitoyoshi and the Not Equals against Medaka, and Kikaijima and Kumagawa representing the weak and trying to restore order among the divided group.}}
* [[Save the Villain]]: Medaka ends up doing this during the Clash With The Enforcers Arc {{spoiler|as does Naze during her fight with Shibushi}}.
Line 298:
* [[Troubling Unchildlike Behaviour]]: Medaka at two years old {{[spoiler| due to her accelerated mental and physical growth}}.
** Kumagawa as well. {{spoiler|The first thing he does when he meets Zenkichi's mom is bribe her with info on 2000 Abnormals in order to have her write him off as normal, before blackmailing her with her son's life if she doesn't accept the bribe.}}

* [[Three Shorts|Two Shorts]]: The anime.
* [[Ubermensch]]: [[Compelling Voice|Oudo Miyakonojou]].
