THE MAIN EVENT LOOMS! Who has time for schoolwork when Comic-Fest is around the corner? With the deadline for their dojinshi looming, the Genshiken is starting to fray at the seams. And when Angela flies to Tokyo for the big event, one member of the group is in for a romantic rendezvous. When stress and libido collide, the sparks will fly!
OTAKU FOREVER The Genshiken have plenty of adventures to experience in the short amount of time before the end of the term. Madarame falls under the spell of the beautiful Angela, an American otaku visiting with her rude friend Susie. The two girls test just how much chaos they can cause during their short trip. The Genshiken girls try out their matchmaking skills on Kanji and Ogiue, though Ogiue worries what he'll think when he reads her shocking doujinshi in which he is the starring character. As Kanji, Kousaka and Saki near graduation, tensions are high as the Genshiken prepare for their biggest celebration ever! Collects Vol. 7, 8 & 9
A new academic year means new members for the lovably misfit Genshiken: The Society for the Study of Mern Visual Culture! Club president Chika Ogiue now has to manage a fresh-faced trio of yaoi fans (one of whom dabbles in cross-dressing), a surly American transfer student with a penchant for obscure anime quotes, and her own rising career as a professional manga artist. Can she actually find time to draw her own vanity project for Comic-Fest?
The manga based on the successful anime DVD follows Kanji Sasahara, who isn't a true manga fan and has only a mild interest in video games and anime. However, seeking connection in his first year of college, he decides to join Genshiken, a club dedicated to studying modern visual culture.
Farewell to the Genshiken It's graduation day for Kanji, Kousaka, and Saki-and the whole Genshiken gang is there to cheer them on. Get ready for the biggest celebration of all time! Kanpai! Final volume.
OTAKU LOVE The Genshiken girls have been trying to spark a little romance between Kanji and Ogiue for months-and a Genshiken trip to a hot springs resort seems like the perfect opportunity. When Ogiue falls sick, Ohno assigns Kanji to take care of her. The rest of the Genshiken gang leave for the day, and Kanji is finally ready to make his move. Ogiue, though, is convinced that Kanji will never accept her fan-girl ways. To settle things, Kanji will have to read her doujinshi-the one in which he stars! How will Kanji react when he finds himself to be the centerpiece of Ogiue's masterwork? The answer will decide whether their relationship lives of dies!
