Genshiken Vol. 1

by Kio Shimoku

It’s the spring of freshman year, and Kanji Sasahara is in a quandary. Should he declare his love for manga and anime fandom by joining an otaku club, like he has always wanted to? Meanwhile, Saki Kasakabe also has a dilemma. How can she turn her boyfriend, anime fanboy Makoto, into a normal guy? Kanji succeeds where Saki fails, when both Kanji and Makoto join Genshiken: The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture. Undeterred, Saki chases Makoto through the various activities of the club from costume-playing and comic conventions, to video gaming and anime model figures — learning more than she ever wanted to about the humorous world of the Japanese otaku.
