Plot
Medaka Kurokami, the recently elected Student Council President of Hakoniwa Academy, has instituted a suggestion box in order to collect suggestions and improvements from fellow academy students. Together with Zenkichi Hitoyoshi, she solves problems, from finding lost dogs to cleaning up club buildings and even fixing personalities. During the course of the series, Kouki Akune and Mogana Kikaijima are recruited to the Student Council to help improve the school.

Soon, the Student Council discovers the existence of the Flask Plan, supervised by the Academy Chairman in order to experiment on students with supernatural abilities dubbed as "Abnormals." The goal of the project is to find a way to mass produce Abnormal beings. However, once a method is found, the students of Hakoniwa Academy will be forced to endure the vicious tests which will result in the death of most of the students. After battling many foes, the Student Council are able to put a stop to the Flask Plan. However, the results of their success are short-lived with the immediate introduction of Misogi Kumagawa, a teenage boy with a powerful abnormality. Using a school rule, he threatens to usurp Medaka's Student Council with one of his own.

After the defeat of Kumagawa, two students who were sealed by Kumagawa's abilities are able to complete their transfer to Hakoniwa Academy. The two students possess multiple Abnormal powers and are called "Not Equals." They are intent on reviving the Flask Plan once Medaka graduates. Medaka and her Student Council, now with Kumagawa in its rankings, attempt to stop the project's revival by training five new students to be their successors; however the five are secretly aligned with the Not Equals. When the five students begin to admire and respect Medaka, Anshin'in, the leader of the Not Equals, reveals her true plan: to isolate Zenkichi from Medaka and arranging for him to usurp Medaka and assume her position as the main character of the story, thus completing the Flask Plan. Flask Plan is ultimately successful, and Zenkichi defeats Medaka in the presidential election. As her last act as President, Medaka sanctifies the Flask Plan. However, the victorious Ajimu tries to commit suicide, only to be stopped by Medaka. Medaka reveals that Ajimu always wanted the Flask Plan to fail, as she had never found anything impossible in her infinite existence. Medaka reforms Ajimu, promising her that she will never let her die; therefore, Ajimu’s death will become the impossibility she has been seeking. Kumagawa’s seal fades away, Ajimu is accepted as a freshman of Class 13, and Medaka hands the President’s armband over to Zenkichi. She then kisses him, telling him she has fallen for him.

Sporting a new outfit and hairstyle, Medaka runs wild around the school, decimating the various sports clubs, now determined to live life to the fullest. However, in a conversation with Kamome Tsurubami, the dark history of the Kurokami Group is revealed. With the arrival of Bukiko Udou of the Ge’hyoukai, Medaka is told that a second Jet Black Wedding Feast to decide her future husband will be held. Accepting Tsurubami’s place as the representative of the Tsurubami family, Medaka decides to enter the challenge herself, defeat her suitors, and earn both her freedom and her happiness.
