But we can and did
Why haven't you read Meadaka Box yet?
>>
>>153859628
Except that medaka is the protagonist, and he's the antagonist..
>>
>>153859655
Medaka isn't the protagonist of Medaka Box, the idiot guy is.
>>
>>153859628

I miss this magnificent bastard.
>>
>>153859671
The show is literally called Medaka Box, explain how this guy is the protag.
>>
>>153859655
Anon, he won everything from poles to fans and Nisio's heart.
Zenkichi can't compete, even with Medaka as his heroine.
>>
>>153859707
AKEME ga Kill, a guy was the protagonist
>>
>>153859712
Yes but he literally isn't the protagonist of the story, it doesn't matter what he won. He's a major character an important one, the main villain, but he isn't the protagonist.

He had the best fight scenes, best funny scenes, best serious scenes, best arc, was a million times more interesting than the rest of the cast and was the one thing that prevented the manga from being cancelled
He stole the protagonist spot
>>
>>153859747
akame ga shit is a bad example, the story is only told from his point of view, he isn't the protagonist, akame is. Ever heard of a story that continues after the protagonist's arc is resolved? but akame's adventure continues, so what does that tell us?

>>153859761
It doesn't matter what he's won, he still wasn't written as the protagonist, and his role as the villain limited him to the antagonist spot.
>>
>>153859707
Medaka Box refers to the box Medaka created and lets people put "plot" inside it.
Zenkichi is the main character.
>>
>>153859628
I'm considering picking Medaka Box up just because of this image. Is it worth it?
>>
>>153859850
>the story is only told from his point of view
Makes him the protagonist

Just like how Zenkichi was
>>
>>153859865
>>153859864
Fine i give up. I haven't read enough of medaka box to refute this since i've only watched the anime. But can we please go back to the OP topic of discussion?

It is, but best boy appears for the first time like 100 chapters in

Not even close, its chapter 56

Murata streaming. Drawing Suiryu. Probably the extra story for volume 13.

How glad were CxC scans when Medaka ended?

Fucking Nisio shitting out like 5000 words per panel every chapter.

Pov =/= protagonist. Is john watson the protagonist?

>ajimu did worse than mukae, kikaijima, and shiranui

I am reminded that there is no justice in this world
>>
>>153863886
The person with the most screen time is the protagonist
>>
>>153859864
Ignore previous replies, Medaka Box is utter shit.
That one character doesn't redeem it.

He's nothing like the character in the OP tho?
>kumagawa autists hijack another thread
>>
>>153858920
We do. He's called Meliodas and he's annoying.
>>
If you want male protagonists who are badass, and believe that it is better being an edgy faggot than a submissive cuck,
then start reading Chinese novels. Those Xianxia and shit.

The days of badass Japanese protagonists died with Hokuto no Ken.
>>
>>153864454
>he's annoying
How? He's a pretty relaxed guy for the most part.
>>
>>153864475
The protagonist for Immortal Hounds doesn't take any guff despite being a regular guy even if he "suffers" from the same condition as everyone else in their universe.
>>
>>153858920
It would make me feel insecure with myself.

Well done my friend.
>>
>>153858920
Cause most people who read manga can't identify with characters like this.
>>
>>153858920
>Date me or I'll let you die

Sounds like a coercive jerk, OP.
>>
>>153865239
When did he say that? He only asked her if she would? He never explicitly stated that he wouldn't help otherwise.

Its only coercion if he presents an ultimatum.
>>
>>153865239
Women are coercive whores 90% of the time, so it's about time for men to get their shit together as well.

>>153864702
his sexual harassment of elizabeth in part 1 was terrible and annoying. Being op is stupid too.
>>
>>153866515
it definitely could have been handled better.
>>
>>153866719
should not even have been done.
>>
>>153864211
What about Tadakuni?
>>
>>153866741
I'm trying to say I believe the type of character Op wants could have been executed in a better way than it was in Meliodas. I think he is a clunky version of the character rather than a properly crafted one.
>>
>>153866877
OP here, tried reading Nanatsu, dropped it in 3 chapters...
>>
>>153869120
Wow, OP, what an amazing case of shit taste you have.
>>
>>153869824
The protag was a shota with a piggy for a friend, I wasn't left any other choice.
>>
>>153869120
you made the right choice.
>>
>>153869120
Good taste, it never gets better.
>>
>>153858920
Because people tent to like a MC who doesn't get bodied by some jobber.
