Kurokami Medaka, a first year, is elected as Student Council President, and the first thing she does is establish a suggestion box, later dubbed by students the "Medaka Box". Medaka encourages students to submit any problem to the box without hesitation and promises to take on any issue from anyone. Since Medaka won the Student Council elections with a staggering 98% of the vote, she ends up as the Council's only member. She asks her childhood friend, Hitoyoshi Zenkichi, for help and he grudgingly agrees, becoming the Student Council's lowest ranking member. Soon Medaka recruits two more people to the Student Council, the former judo club member Akune Kouki as secretary and the current swim club member Kikaijima Mogana, on loan for 300 yen a day, as treasurer. Now the Student Council members spend their days solving the problems submitted through the Medaka Box, whether they be hooligans in clubs where they don't belong, girls who need help writing love letters or people who've lost their pets, gradually earning the respect and admiration of the entire school.

Side story of Seitokai no Ichizon.

Each year, the Ushiromiya family gathers at the secluded mansion of its patriarch, the elderly Kinzo. It has been six years since Battler joined his cousins at the annual event, but their happy reunion is overshadowed by worsening weather and an eerie premonition from his youngest cousin. When their parents’ conversation turns to the division of the inheritance upon Kinzo’s imminent death, Battler and his cousins reminisce about the stories their parents teased them with as children-tales of the witch, Beatrice, who haunts the island’s forest. But when people start dying unnatural deaths, Battler can’t help but wonder… The question arcs are: 1. *[Umineko no Naku Koro ni Episode 1: Legend of the Golden Witch ]()* 2. *[Umineko no Naku Koro ni Episode 2: Turn of the Golden Witch](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=38946584773)* 3. *[Umineko no Naku Koro ni Episode 3: Banquet of the Golden Witch](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=49160556580)* 4. *[Umineko no Naku Koro ni Episode 4: Alliance of the Golden Witch](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=44964717491)* The answer arcs are: 5. *[Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru Episode 5: End of the Golden Witch](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=71278078024)* 6. *[Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru Episode 6: Dawn of the Golden Witch](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=19745508542)* 7. *[Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru Episode 7: Requiem of the Golden Witch](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=68333905455)* 8. *[Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru Episode 8: Twilight of the Golden Witch](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=71765457046)* The side story arcs are: - *[Umineko Biyori](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=1116702285)* - *[Umineko no Naku Utage ni: Tea Party of the Witches]()* - *[Umineko no Naku Koro ni Episode X](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=50354448856)* - *[Umineko no Naku Koro ni Tsubasa](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=39201912076)* - ***Ougon Musoukyoku*** - *[Umineko no Naku Koro ni Shi: Forgery of the Purple Logic](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=13296080487)*

The first part of the Monogatari Series. There’s a girl at their school who is always ill. She routinely arrives late, leaves early, or doesn’t show up at all, and skips gym as a matter of course. She’s pretty, and the boys take to whispering that she’s a cloistered princess. As the self-described worst loser in her class soon finds out, they just don’t know what a monster she is. So begins a tale of mysterious maladies that are supernatural in origin yet deeply revealing of the human psyche, a set of case files as given to unexpected feeling as it is to irreverent humour.

Launching the third or “Final Season” of the international cult-hit series, Possession Tale returns the narrator’s headset back to high school senior and amateur savior Koyomi Araragi, who used to eschew friendship once upon a time because it’d lower his “intensity as a human”—a loner’s misgiving that was perhaps on the mark in a different way than he intended. At issue now is not the precarious fate of one of his cherished confrères, or rather consœurs, whom he’d aid, sight unseen, with a monster’s resilience, but his own aberrant state and its prolonged abuse. If everything comes with a bill, and if no man is an island, then is the price of self-sacrificing amity—and the bloodshed it ironically occasions—becoming inhuman for good? That being said! Our hero, whose first name means “calendar” but who has none in his room, sees no need to rush, so, on our way to the profound mysteries of the superhuman aspect, expect a super-shallow deconstruction of the alarm clock. On hand this volume to (hardly ever) humor his humor: his little sisters, a living doll of a corpse, and its violent mistress. (Source: Kodansha USA)

A dropout from an elite Houston-based program for teens is on a visit to a private island. Its mistress, virtually marooned there, surrounds herself with geniuses, especially of the young and female kind—one of whom ends up headless one fine morning. (Source: Kodansha USA)

A tale of heroine Tsubasa Hanekawa from her own perspective, in her own voice—if that can hold true for a damaged soul who, depending on who you’re asking, suffers from a split personality or a supernatural aberration. The bone-chilling brokenness of her household, where father and mother and daughter keep three separate sets of cookware in the same kitchen and only ever prepare their own meals, and the profound darkness nurtured in the genius schoolgirl’s heart, come to life, if that is the word, through her self-vivisection.

But this time he needs help. Enlisting the services of an FBI agent named Naomi Misora, L starts snooping around the City of Angels. It soon becomes apparent that the killing spree is a psychotic riddle designed to specifically engage L in a battle of wits. Stuck in the middle between killer and investigator, it's up to Misora to navigate both the dead bodies and the egos to solve the Los Angeles Murder Cases.
