anime/manga Respect Misogi Kumagawa! (Medaka Box)
『When I don't have friends, I want to beat the people that do! When I can't work hard, I want to beat the people that can! When I can't win, I want to beat the people that will! When I'm not happy, I want to beat the people that are! Even if I'm hated! Even if I'm depressed! Even if I'm useless! I want to prove that I'm better than the main characters!』
『Misogi Kumagawa』 is the arch-nemesis of Medaka Kurokami, the charismatic leader of the Minus faction invading Hakoniwa Academy, and the Vice President of the 99th Student Council. Born as a miserable Minus who only ever knew loss, he took it upon himself to make others feel the same as him, all while wearing a veil of happiness. Kumagawa is a depraved individual who wishes most for the complete destruction of Medaka Kurokami.
Hover over a feat to see the chapter of occurrence. All literature feats come from "Medaka Box Juvenile," or "Good Loser Kumagawa Gaiden," a series of light novels, of which only two have translations. These all take place prior to the main series, and can be found here.
