It's actually unclear to me how much of the Mangas Kamachi actually writes. He seems to just write outlines then the editors and mangakas do the rest, or the mangakas present a plot that he makes corrections to. It certainly doesn't feel like something he's written directly, despite him having...

There was also DA in the Accelerator and Dark Matter Manga. I don't blame you for forgetting about them lol. Apparently their body armor and shields are resistant to esper powers' effects. It's never really made clear how this works. I assume it works like AIM Jammers but on a smaller and less...

Judgement is the individual disciplinary committees of the schools and thus their jurisdiction of actual law enforcement is supposed to be only the school grounds, dormitories, and student bodies their department is assigned to, unless they have permission from Antiskill, or they are in a...

It's less the amount of ecchi but more their age. Most female characters get sexualized and are described in a sexual way in Toaru, a series with an average cast age of around 14, which is already concerning, but Kaai and Youen were young even for the series, and was a significant lowering of...

It's established in New Testament that Shokuhou believes her growth spurt happened because "she's in love", as a response to the fact that Kamijou demeaned her immaturity when she insisted she had adult charm and he essentially told her to come back when you're older, kiddo. It's another example...

She's just dude. She's wholesome chungus.

The big issue with her idea of self improvement is that her idea of self worth is entirely based upon her powers and identity as a Level 5. She's not really changed for the better as a person I think. The reason initially that she got so fixated on Kamijou was that his Imagine Breaker made her...

Not that Shoukuhou's anywhere near normal or even in a positive lifestyle, but she's not currently driving her life off a cliff to the level Misaka is. Shoukuhou's liable to get worse the more legitimate hope she has of being in any sort of a relationship with Kamijou. Kamijou is good for her as...

Most things about the Level 5s are pretty secretive. They are generally a mystery to most of Academy city. Misaka's the most well known one because since she's the one that comes off as the most outwardly sane and has a power that isn't particularly scary and is easy to understand. She's also a...

Hey man I'm only still reading this series to see how far Kamachi can stretch it until it collapses under its own weight. There's no way this series is going to end in anything other than a confusing trainwreck and you know it. But that's why we all love it, don't we? Just let me lord over the...

You're just realizing all of that now? You anime-onlies are something else lol. Gemstones have been a concept since forever, the anime just skipped over their introduction as a concept. One of the current Level 5s (Sogiita Gunha) is a Gemstone. There's only a few dozen at most in the entire...

There must be tens of thousands of black-haired Japanese women in lab coats in Academy City. Probably gets easy to mix them up lol.

WIth Kamachi's non-Japanese names more it's that instead of looking up actual last names to use he just makes them up. Most Japanese writers will just use pre-existing names they've heard or looked up and use those. He mostly uses the compound names like this for American and a few English...

One thing about the Kiharas that is lost on english-speakers is that their given names are just japanese words for scientific/mathematical terms. Amata means Many, Gensei means Primeval, Kagun means Module, Noukan means Brainstem, Yuiitsu means Unique, Enshuu means Circumference, Ransuu means...

TLDR:

I made a mistake since Kihara Noukan's a bit of an exception. He's a creation of one of the original 7 Kiharas, of which he is the only trace remaining of their legacy. He's actually 80 years old. The Kiharas were seemingly originally not a family lineage, but are now for whatever reason...

Noukan had a cameo in the Cube's flashback along with Aliester last chapter. So he might be involved. It's basically a guarantee we have a Yuiitsu/Noukan scene where he lectures her either in present or in a flashback.

She's still a Kihara, and a rather clever one at that. I get the feeling that her unassuming appearance and fairly affable personality will make Shoukuhou and co. not suspect her. Though maybe I'm wrong. I'm not sure how much Shokuhou knows about the Kiharas. She knows about Kihara Gensei for...
