Kumagawa Misogi

197

Kumagawa Misogi is one of the protagonist of Medaka Box. A boy whose involvement with Medaka and Zenkichi stretches back thirteen years. He is someone that is described as having no malice, hope or other similar feelings, but would kill everyone on a whim. He is perpetually cheerful and smiling, but beneath that his personality is quite nasty: He enjoys breaking people and wants to destroy the elite and bring them down to his level. He is seen as particularly revolting to the likes of Medaka, who wants to see the best in everyone. Either to mark his lack of connection with reality, or his insincerity「his speech is surrounded by brackets, which are Japanese quotation marks, even when he is telling the truth.」
