Chapter 54: Forever in my Dreams
Previous chapter:>>291758510
>>291785316>chapter 54We're just about to the end of the original Genshiken now, Nidaime starts at chapter 56 after there was a 4 year break in publication.
Done. Ha Ha.See you tomorrow!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG_Yejl-0WM
>>291785299Look at that smile.She's been dreaming of this day.
>>291785397>Madarame withdraws coolly
>>291785454D'awwww
>>291785581What a treasure box!
>>291785632She deserved it.
>>291785720>No questionYou okay OP?
>>291785720Thx buddy.
>>291785381>Thigh molepero pero
>>291785913There are some moments when nothing needs to be said.
>>291785720CUTE
>>291785965I'm going to say it anyway! *ting* *ting* Everyone? MO IS THE CUTEST AND SMARTEST!
>>291785632I love that we get the full range of Saki emotions this chapter.>>291785683>wordless chapter>everyone is shown>GRADUATION NEXTNo... I'm not ready for this to be over...
where's my nigga mo?
>>291785381
>>291786878Best girl
>>291785618Maybe I'm delusional and reading too much into it, but I always interpreted the bottom panels as Saki finally realizing Madarame's feelings for her (on top of the embarassment of the photos). I don't think she reciprocates at all, but I do think it goes together nicely with the previous chapter.
>>291785720Thanks OP
>>291786454Molinet
>>291786858>when she see your dick
>Genshiken under Sasahara: wrote a doujinshi for the comiket all together>Genshiken under Ohno: nothing but cosplay that is done by only one member 99% of the time
>>291791729What a versatile manga!
>>291785720Thank you, OP.
>>291759094I was not able to say it. I still got turned down cause my affection was obvious. I don't regret loving her but looking back I don't think it would have worked out. But still. I still wished I got to say it out loud to her...I'm still trying to find someone I can truly love but I dunno. I think I'm just too much of a weird person. Sure I might find someone who would tolerate me, but I dunno. That just feels unfulfilling. I just want someone I can understand man...Sorry for blogposting. Wasn't going to answer this yesterday but today's chapter has me feeling all sorts of things.
>>291785381Why only Tanaka is allowed to take photos? I'd be super jealous if I were Mada or Kuchi
>>291785573Aaaaaaaaah
>>291788776>reciprocates at allShe knows how he feels about her and his pain but she completely ignores it, I hate her for this
>>291785581The Yatterman-2 in the bottom left corner was a good pick for Saki, she even looks like she might not have minded it too much
>>291785381Oh yeah, that’s the GOOD stuff!>>291785581Nice.
>>291791729Women
>>291785581>>291785597>she also filmed it
>>291785644They really must be working Kousaka to the bone at that h-game company, he barely every shows up anymore. Saki is more of a genshiken member than him.
>>291797353It's a mid-2000s Japanese game dev, even if it's just porn games they probably have him sleeping under the desk working 7 days a week.
>>291785299Them being in these robes is giving me funny ideas... Should probably get my mind out of the gutter.>>291785381Or not. My goodness!>>291785454Awwww>>291785559How nice of her to think of Madarame. But does that mean she knew?>>291785573Busted!
>>291785581!>>291785632What a rollercoaster for everyone involved.>>291785720Thanks for posting, OP.>>291785913Guess he decided to not shit on you-know-which-anon for once, heh.
>>291797665>Guess he decided to not shit on you-know-which-anon for once, heh.The Sora Yori daily has been handling that in his stead
I think Saki should start a fire again, for old times sake.
>>291785440I feel like Saki has had a lot of Kousaka-like expressions in the past 15 chapters or so.>>291785618Man this is painful
>>291759094>Were you able to say it?I couldn't even be her friend (or friend of anyone).>>291765389 Glad for you, /a/non.Did you even said for your wife that she was the second option?
>>291798519I love you, Anon. Your suffering is kinda funny.
>>291785381thank u
>>291785454It kinda hurts
>>291798519>>291798738he is all of us.
>>291794275Does she?
>>291794006At least you were able to say it to (us).
>>291798519>or friend of anyoneWrong. You already are.
>>291791729I mean, Genshiken before Sasahara was just "sit in a room and talk about Kujiun or maybe play a fighting game sometimes."Sasahara's tenure is the outlier here.
>>291785470silent chapters like this are begging for a song to go with it
>>291785683shouldn't have read this in the morning. now I'm going to be melancholic for the whole day.
>>291785415>Ohno has the good dicking glow
>>29178572039 OP
>>291798941BLACK HOLE SUNWON'T YOU COMEAND WASH AWAY THE RAAAIN?
>>291798941Nananana nananana batman!
>>291798941>>291799548https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCspzg9-bAg
>>291799204???
I don't really care for Madarame's crush since we don't even know what he like about Saki
>>291801305She's the president.
>>291801305>weYou.
>>291802200Post the pages when he talk about what he like about her, your headcanon doesn't count
>>291801305I like Madarame unconditionally therefore I respect his choices in women
>>291801305>>291802253>AntiSakischizo having another meltyLMAO
>>291788776I think you're right. If she thought it was to make fun of her she would have acted the same way she does towards Ohno.Madarame's expression afterwards also seems to say "welp, the cat is out of the bag".
>>291801305He's already tried in vain to use "words" that are supposed to "mean" something in order to reason his way out of his own feelings, it didn't and doesn't work.
>>291802253No spoonfeeding.
>>291801305I care for it because I experienced it.
>>291801305I care for it because Saki is a heckin valid cinnamon roll who dindu nuffin and anyone who disagrees is a doodoo head!
Saki is sex! SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>291804046Strange way to spell Sue
>>291804058saki is sue?
>>291799068>Saki is a futaDamn. Those 10 rounds must have been hell for Kousaka
>>291802348Not him, just saying that his love for her isn't explored at all
>>291794275Even if she knows I think it's the right move for her not to bring it up unless he initiates. She maintains a friendly distance without intentionally leading him on. Bringing it up when she has no intention of reciprocating would be cruel. It has to be Madarame to start that conversation and get shot down on his own terms.
>>291804359I feel like he'd be into that.
>>291805687And somehow, it wouldn't even seem gay
>>291804777Sure you're not, schizo
>>291805687>>291806000CheckedWill he wear the outfit during it?
>>291806249Sakischizo never made an actual argument and haven't made any of his posts in weeks
>>291806664Whatever you say schizokun
>>291806427Of course he would!...by the way, I've been thinking about this post I made: https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/291284718/#291286879. Now, I haven't been drawing nearly as much as I should have, but I really would like to accomplish the goal I have set for myself, ideally before the end of the Nidaime storytime. It may be unrealistic, but I'll try, at least.... which means that I'll have to defeat my own laziness and be more productive. Still, I must repeat that you shouldn't expect too much, so that you will experience minimal amounts of disappointment when I post the results.
>>291804818>Bringing it up when she has no intention of reciprocating would be cruel.No, what is cruel is she ignoring his feelings and prolonging his suffering for such a long time instead of relieving him by just telling him that it won't work out and to let it go
>>291798519>Did you even said for your wife that she was the second option?Thanks. Yeah, she knows the story, and they were apparently all aware of my crush at the time.I didn't start going out with my wife then and there anyway, we just happened to go to university in the same town and became roommates, then started dating after that.
>>291807043Ganbare!
>>291807181His suffering is self-inflicted. Like the other anon said he needs to take the plunge first.
>>291807181That sofà look comfy
>>291801305She's physically attractive, strong willed, occasionally caves in and shows a weak softer side, even if she has caused some of the biggest problems in the history of the Genshiken she has also bailed them out of some of the other big problems. She's basically an occasionally helpful shithead tsundere who is physically attractive, which must just be his type.
>>291807181She owes him nothing. She shouldn't have to tell him that she's not going to break up her relationship of several years and torpedo the entire friend group to be with him. And he knows that's what's going to happen which is why he never brings it up. It's pointless and they both know it's pointless so there's nothing to say.
Chapter 55: Genshiken
>>291808639Everyone is here!
The power went out, please wait a sec.
>>291808702I get the feeling Ogiue prefers it when Sasahara's not gentle, considering the way she draws him.
>>291808639man I didn't realize Tanaka was such a manlet
>>291808684how do you even mix up speech bubbles like that at the bottom,?
>>291809221Simple human error.
>>291807577I never realized it before, but what a panel. Madarame and his Saki split by a tongue-out animu sweetheart. That is, I'm sure he tells himself that's what cosmically splits them
>>291809360okay but Keiko is there too, what sort of heroine would she be? is she moe?
Done. And thus, we end the first part. Tomorrow, Genshiken Nidaime.How are you liking the manga so far?See you tomorrow!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S90vb1Ed2vg
>>291809371Sasahara was THIS close to getting stabbed.
so did this get axed back in the day or whatthere's still some unresolved subplots
>>291808639Don't remember if this color version is official, but either way it's a good one for the end of original Genshiken.>>291809314>>291809325Also due to Nidaime being made four years after this ending, these pages would have to take place even later. So I guess the Genshiken survives being a fujo club/Madarame harem long enough to return to its original feeling or something.>>291809422Kousaka really is a stone cold killer.>>291809496You'll find out in Nidaime. Kind of.
>>29180942210 rounds?Nah, it's going to be 20 this tims.
>>291809523Nah, it just ended like this. Unresolved subplots are kind of realistic, if the author kept chasing them down and resolving them it would require stretching out the manga more and more since they'd take in universe time and that would require more new characters who would introduce new subplots to be resolved.
>>291809434Cute
>>291809498Thx bud.
>>291809434Look at darling Saki, smiling and arguing and having fun with these freak weirdos she so used to loathe. What a ride it was.I've had this song on in the background, lyrically it's a bad fit but the mood of the track fits perfectly, I think, of this winding down of the story.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anK6Qnus0qMI loved this manga, and I enjoyed reading it here with all of (You).
>>291809434last panel belongs to the queen of genshiken
>>291809498>How are you liking the manga so far?3.7
>>291809498Thanks. A truly great portrayal of the freaks, weirdos (and normies). There's not much out there that does such a good job at periodization as this, perfectly capturing what it's like growing up in a subcultural niche at a specific point in time. Now to ruin it all with Nidaime though it arguably started with the heavy-handed Ogiue subplot. You can really tell one was written in the early and the other in the late aughts. Memetic, in your face, by the numbers dog shit. At least the average single digit IQ reader will get his subplots resolved, thank the Lord!
>>291809498Thanks OP >How are you liking the manga so far?It's fine
>>291809325>>291809434Don't be sad it's over. Be glad that it happened... What a nice way to wrap things up. It was just as fun a ride as I remember it when I first encountered it. The series really made chilling with misfit college friends look like fun. I will always appreciate it for the ground level view of otaku culture.It's a shame it ended here but we can all say thanks that it didn't overstay its welcome and warp into a zombified mess of itself. Hahaha.
>>291809133>>291809154They are the club of visual culture, you could say peeping is part of it
>>291809523Feels pretty much resolved to me. They didn't spell everything out textually.
>>291809483No first president?
>>291813060He lives on in the blockchain now. Godspeed, Genshiken
>>291809314mystery niggas
>>291809498good stuff, OP.
>>291813614They are the children of the previous cast, you will see them tomorrow in Benshiken: Next Otaku
i have to admit whenever i read the title "genshiken: nidaime," it reminds me of "degrassi: the next generation"
>>291810060The Otaku Queen
>>291813991
>>291808639Kuchiki's face gets cut off in the physical versions due to it being dead center where the page folds.
>>291816549Fitting.
>>291809498Thanks OP>How are you liking the manga so far?It's okay. I think I liked it more when it focused more on that aspect of being a big otaku and breaching from fan into amateur circles rather than the relationship stuff. As a certified Saki hater early on, she improved so much over the course of the run. Nearly every panel of Madarame watching her from a distance was a real gut punch. He deserves more.
>>291807577Isn't cruel to be lovey dovey in front of someone that can only dream about having the same experience
>>291809345Madarame's moe and he got a job, so he must know what he's talking about. This must be why I always had trouble on the job market.
>>291809498>How are you liking the manga so far?It's pretty good. I'll admit I'm a little unsure about getting more of it (entirely unrelated to the ominous warnings some anons have been posting about the future stuff, I just think it reached a good ending point.I find myself comparing it to Don't Become an Otaku, Shinozaki a lot since they're treading pretty similar ground.
>>291809483Sue heddo!>>291809498Thanks! First time reading this and it was sweet. Although, it did bulldoze through its timeline, which made some developments feel a little forced. Personally, I enjoyed the Sasahara x Ogiue relationship.
>>291814486Sex with this gremlin
>>291818496His fault
>>291813991Can't believe they turned a manga about otaku culture into war with aliens
>>291808735>it's really usefulwwwwwww>>291809133Nice one, I didn't expect this to come up again.>>291809182>No wayHaha, y-yeah... now way that'd happen, right?>>291809345Oh, Madarame. You really are a genius, calling for this meeting.>>291809498Thanks for posting, OP. Really enjoyed this.I wonder how I'll feel about Nidaime. I must be one of two people on the entire planet that didn't completely hate it, but it's been a long time since I watched it. And I haven't read the manga (though I think I know how it ends), so there's that.
I guess I will brace for disaster
>>291820538Saki apologists have no empathy just like her
Genshiken is one of my favorite manga of all time, thanks for doing this. Please reconsider posting Nidaime, it's better to end on a good note.
>>291822397I don't usually resort to democracy, but I want you guys to be able to blame yourselves if you don't like the manga.NIDAIME DAILY, YAY OR NAY?https://strawpoll.com/kjn1DQJbjyQ
>>291823334yea, do it
>>291822397>>291823334read nigga read >>291809498>Tomorrow, Genshiken Nidaime.
>>291809498Thank you OP>How are you liking the manga so far?Always been a personal favorite.
>>291823334At this point we have to read it all
>>291824225Next thing you know, we'll be reading Spotted Flower.
>>291825079Would be funny
>>291825079Not-canon
The few people begging OP not to daily Nidaime are fucking sad. It already exists and you've already been told over and over it will happen. Instead of talking about what you like about the original Genshiken, you've spent the final dump (and also complained throughout the entire daily) that you don't like Nidaime. Nobody is forcing you to like it or follow along. It's just like with the Asobi Asobase daily. That series really got shit in the final third, but you had whiners complaining every thread, even while the manga was still amazing. Just read stuff you like, it's not hard. Stop trying to make it everyone else's problem that you don't like what an author wrote. Let us judge and discuss that for ourselves.
>>291808639Old president looking from the window
>>291827721Fuck'em. Nidaime is just as much a part of the series. Fujos get their spotlight too.
>>291827721So, the same should go for Spotted Flower then, right?
>>291827903At this point, I'd like to read it just to see what the seething is about.The few things anons have already talked about seem really strange, though.
>>291827721Paradise is the best part of asobi..God I miss those creepy girls.
>>291829219That's pretty much how I feel about it, too.
>>291827903Sure, why not? If I don't like it so much it makes me seethe, I'll just wait it out until the next daily.
Daily* Ogiue simping room
Chapter 56: Spring Will Come Again>>291825079No.
Done. Sue's cosplay today is just my type. Can you pass as the opposite sex?See you tomorrow!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKBrePJ5dsM
>>291831624Oh my! Look at that Sue!>>291831729Get in line, Sue. Not just behind Sasahara, but the many anons here.>>291831816>bottom left panelAbsolute supercutie spotted!>>291831919wwwwww, see what you've done, Ogiue!>>291832030Autism
>>291832064That's damn right, Yoshitake!>>291832117Sasuga Saki.>>291832141Thanks for posting, OP.>Can you pass as the opposite sex?Not by a long shot.
>>291831891The best girl enters the stage, yahoo
>>291809483Below Sasayan's elbow, right above Sue's head. He's always watching. Always.
>>291832412Sorry, meant to reply to >>291813060
>>291831997Ogiue is doing the Kuchi stance, how interesting
>>291831718there's... something weird about the art.
>>291832689second part of the manga was like 10 years after the first one.The author online and real relationships also butchered his mind, and probably got a troonie editor that got him to make this shit.death of a series...Sue is hot as fuck tho
>>291831718
>>291832141>Can you pass as the opposite sex?It's my girlish hips that do it
>>291832141Thanks OP >Can you pass as the opposite sex?No
>>291831891enter the worst fucking character in the series (read: the new main character)
>>291832030I assume "Dapple Kicking Beam" is a stand in for "Ringo Mogire Beam", which combined with the Bakemonogatari references implies Sue really likes Studio Shaft I guess.
>>291833592>Sue really likes Studio Shaft I guessAs if I needed yet another reason to love her.
>>291831718Kucchi banished to the shadow realm.>>291831741So heavy with milk...>>291831826Kucchi's pits certainly weren't on my list for this chapter, but sure...>>291831847Double ENTERVery curious as to what kind of characters these two are. Yoshitake seems pretty cute.>>291831891Ah, yes. The only Nidaime character I've heard of before... Let's see how bad this gets.>>291831919It's over.>>291831987>That's not what I want to do.Sorry, man. The cow did NOT ask.>>291832030KAMIMAMITA >_<Should've called him Lalalalalame too then.I fucking love Sue. She's adorable.>>291832141Thanks, OP!>Can you pass as the opposite sex?I do have long hair and am rather skinny. Maybe with a lot of make-up...>>291832689Yeah, it feels juuuuust slightly off. However, I think it got better as the chapter went on.I really hope the background are as good as they were in the original. They were so good.
>>291832015was she doing a snail, was it out by then?
>>291832030muh dick
Is it just me or has Kousaka just fell of the face of the earth?
>>291834213Forgive him, he's working himself to death for 15 hours a day and sleeps under his work desk most nights.
>>291832117I don't dislike it at all but i wanted the madarame love thing to be over with
>>291834123Yes, this started in 2010 and the anime for Bakemonogatari started in 2009. She's in the background doing some Crab here also >>291831847
>>29183424424 Days
>>291832117Melancholy working life Kugayama...I remember being excited for a return to the Genshiken back in the day but rereading this now it's pretty clear to me that the general level of wackiness is much higher right off the bat here. Even though I like Sue having her be so prominent feels emblematic of the shifting balance away from the grounded realism in part 1.
>>291831718See? Ohno was a horrible president that wasted all the budget to buy costumes all for herself
>>291834785oh boy. i'm gonna be mad aren't i? >>291834535jesus, time flies when you're a f/a/ggot
>>291831708>>291831718WHERE THE FUCK IS THE PAINTBRUSH
I like Yoshitake
>>291831791oh, there it iscrisis averted
>>291835361Same. She's probably my favorite of the new members.
>>291831816>>291831826wait, is the reason Yoshitake got interested that the illustration is from a history-themed series?
>>291835410Yes. Definitely this and NOT because the two boys can be shipped.
Yoshitake is flat and shameless and has thick eyebrows.
>>291835725>flat sex>shamelesssex>thick eyebrows.sex
>>291831729
>>291835725Hot
>>291832141Thanks OP>Can you pass as the opposite sex?Hell no! I barely even pass as human.
>>291835725New best girl
>>291835725She later reveals that she has thick hair elsewhere too
tbf neither yoshitake my queen, and the fatso are an issue, the elephant in the room is another individual, and spoilers that partake that character
>>291832108Yajima asking the same thing I was thinking
>>291832141Why are so many people trying to put things in Madarame's ass, jeez.
>>291836072maybe he has a bubble butt
>>291836072He can fit lot of stuff inside it
>>291836019Nidaime... you officially have my attention...
>>291832841>second part of the manga was like 10 years after the first onefour and a half years, Genshiken ended in July 2006 and Nidaime started in December 2010
>>291809434Saki is so beautiful>>291809498Thanks OP. First time reader, I loved it
>>291832141>Can you pass as the opposite sex?No, but can YOU?
>>291831718This is bullying... Kucchi is a hero who stopped a thief and got slandered for his efforts.
>>291832117Poor Kugapii. I've been there
Kucchi harem protagonist
did Ogiue change her hairstyle because Sasahara told her she looks pretty with her hair down?
>>291838905Same. Quite a melancholic panel.
>>291831847Best girls>>291832030Where’s MY otaku gaijin>>291832117Kugayama is us>>291832141The immovable mountain
Wait, is the fat one a chick?
>>291801305Sometimes you just can't help falling in love with someone.
>>291831891I wish I hadn't heard of this character before. That way, the incoming twist would actually surprise me.
>>291835361So do I.
>>291841369Yep.
>>291827777lol, never noticed him, nice jackpot GET
>>291839678She was becoming too powerful so she only ties it back up when she gets serious like here >>291831791.
>>291831997Now she's quoting even her own anime.
>>291833130Was gonna point out the same thing, haha.
>>291836019 Big bush or all body hair?
>>291832130>A Boy Named "Sue".Is that original to the JP or a translator's localization? Deep cut if the former. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z1Ple-qYuU
Please tell me that :3 girl appear more
>>291831624Interesting how the English release made this firm delineation between the first and second series, starting the volume numbering from one and all.Pretty sure the first volume of "nidaime" was simply volume 10 of Genshiken in the Japanese release, as if it was just a hiatus.
>>291832130nice touch that Hato pays very close attention when Yajima asks about improving your artwork
>>291834535the Bakemonogatari line itself referencing FMA
>>291809115>>291809133lmao nice callback
>>291832015does this mean they're friends
>>291831919Sanosuke spotted! (above Sue's head)
>>291832043Sue is doing a Kanta from My Neighbor Totoro when wordlessly offering the phone (umbrella) and then the "your house is haunted" bit.https://youtu.be/Uz4e2wQ3oWIhttps://youtu.be/ZMiPQm_2ixAConsidering the snail bit beforeband, and the original context behind Kanta acting like that being that he likes Satsuki but is too shy and immature to properly express it, is Sue saying she wants to be friends, or is she trying to flirt?
>>291832030Obligatory >https://youtu.be/4WDoZxWDfqY?list=RD4WDoZxWDfqYthey used this one at a certain point, was it rin or len idr
Is Sue just going to be a gag character and nothing more?
>>291838905I wouldn't be surprised if even Kucchi managed to have a better life than him
>>291846440only until her and Madarame become a couple
so how's the timeline in this work? is there a floating timeline or do we ha r specific dates? how old are the characters?
>>291847574There's dates with the comifes events and such. Also there's a non-canon novel which has character birth dates.According to that Tanaka, Madarame, and Kugapi were all born in 1982, Ohno and Saki in 1983, Kousaka and Sasahara in 1984.The main cast would all be in their 40s today.
up
>>291842885who even told her that? I don't think she was there to see it
>>291831753whoa, it looks extra moe, quite funny lol
>>291831891NYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
>>291847737You are telling me Spotted Flower is where you find out the birth dates?
>>291849708No, there's a light novel (written by another guy and illustrated by the mangaka) and it has character profiles.
>>291849229I was gonna say. Sasahara looks 10 years younger.
>>291849229Sasahara is cute and funny
>>291849138down!
>>291853415Left!

Chapter 57: Across the Street, the Promised Place
>>291855251Yoshitake be like: suicide attempt? sugoi!
>>291855505kuchiki is fucking dead
>>291855505Judo... is strong!
I think I'd prefer if Sue was capable of ordinary communication as well besides the reference speak. In her first appearances this shit could be excused by her not really knowing much spoken Japanese, but come the fuck on it's like that episode of Star Trek.>Chika, her window open.
>>291855251Yajima wondering if she should regret her decision>>291855275>bandaid on pantiesGuess it's the next best thing after going all the way. I can respect that.>>291855376I was gonna say, Sasahara is notably absent in that list.>>291855490Ogiue, what have you unleashed.>>291855505Nothing Hato can't handle, it seems.
>>291855251>Sue: "She didn't fly so good! Who wants to try next?"
>>291855618>>Chika, her window open.Madarame when the photos fell
Done. What is even the point of a trap you can't rape.Is crossdressing creepy?See you tomorrow!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPwHqusTc7E
Also, I think Yajima is my favorite so far of the newbies.
>>291855563Judo? Strong?>>291855702>Huh? Huh? What the--?He says, as he hands over the keys. Oh Madarame.>>291855712I think I do get it. Maybe.>>291855724Thanks for posting, OP.>Is crossdressing creepy?Oh no, OP what are you trying to instigate?
>>291855724Thanks OP.>Is crossdressing creepy?Regular traps aren't my things but I got nothing against them. I love reverse traps so much it's unreal.
I think what I like most about Yoshitake is that despite all the cutesy enthusiasm she's really just a useless underachiever. Keeps her realistic.
>>291855701Kuchiki, with pants unzipped
>>291855823>I love reverse traps so much it's unreal.this is the way
>>291855618funny how you said that right before she starts speaking normally
>>291855505Hato inheriting Saki's job as the person in charge of beating Kuchiki up.
>>291855724>Is crossdressing creepy?>Article 23: In addition to the prohibitions provided by special Conventions, it is especially forbidden>[...]>(f) To make improper use of a flag of truce, of the national flag or of the military insignia and uniform of the enemy, as well as the distinctive badges of the Geneva Convention;Thus legally, as long as a (in this case male) crossdresser lowers their panties and runs up a pair of boxer shorts before you plough them, it doesn't count as perfidy on their part.
>>291855427>>291855439
>>291855702Aren't campus-adjacent apartments super expensive to rent in Japan?
>>291855712I get it
>>291856241who would rent them, other than poorfag students?
>>291856323groups of poorfag students?
>>291855393Do continue, Yoshitake. You have caught my interest.
>>291855740She's the down to earth one compared to the rest kind of like Sasahara was in his first year.
>>291855712I also get it.
>>291855724Thank you, OP.It can be very hot if the person in question has the looks and/or skills for it.
>>291856474More of a stick in the mud though where Sasahara was a pushover.
>>291855823Back in my schooldays, there was a girl in my grade who could technically qualify as one. If you didn't know any better, you would've believed her to be a very short guy.
>>291857105For comparison.
>>291855724Thanks OP.>Is crossdressing creepy?I don't think so, but I guess it depends a lot of the type of person.My brother does it and is pretty chill about it
>>291855302>gay rape is within Kuchiki's characterI guess?
>>291857677traps aren't gay
>>291856323poorfag students' rich parents
>>291857030Apparently Sako Toshio's wife is a reverse trap >>291853932
>>291855724>Is crossdressing creepy?yes, because you never know if the cute girl is actually a guy planning to stab you. (pun intended.)
>>291855347>"The Genshiken could have produced a felon!"They already had an arsonist
>>291855675Of course
>>291855712I don’t
>>291855724>Is crossdressing creepy?I really don't have an opinion on crossdressing, it's difficult to care about.I do know the feeling of being the not very memorable one like Sasahara though, it's not the worst.
>>291855724Thanks OP>Is crossdressing creepy?Only if done by ugly people
>>291855724Just knock on the door and ask if he's in there.
>>291831741Kinnikuman Lady.
>>291831973New victim acquired.
>>291860203Ogiue should be happy. The more girls (minus the fat one) and girly-looking members, the less Ohno will be fixated on her specifically.
>>291832117Imouto!
>>291860252If they all start cosplaying they will be able to use peer pressure on her and Ogiue is mentally weak.
>>291857677Kuchiki is a warrior!
>>291855275>Band-aidWhat a glorious frame that was...>>291857677Nothing is beyond Kucchiki's character.>>291855320Protecc the bussy.>>291855376>Kousaka's tmmuypero pero~>>291856168Yup, instantly thought of this too lol.>>291855505K.O.>>291855675Is this how we eventually end up with Spotted Flower..?>>291855712Yeah, I see it.>>291855724>Is crossdressing creepy?Not in itself, no. However, it can be done in a weird/creepy way.>>291855740Thanks, OP!Yoshitake for me.
>>291860411Kek
>>291855724>Is crossdressing creepy?Yes. Cosplayer crossdresses in particular are freaks. Only if it's men dressing up as women though.
Hoping the club under Ogiue is better than under Ohno
>>291855724Thanks op
>>291855332When did this come out? Years after the first series?Is it a new artist?
>>2918631552010, 4 years after the end of the original, same artist. Likely new drawing process due to the general industry shift towards digital production.
>>291855702i was hoping he might get american jailbait but all he'll get is AIDS >>291855712i get it
>>291855302I found Kuchiki growing on me in the first part but I feel like he's pulling a u-turn
>>291863392>found Kuchiki growing on megross
>>291855830she has big pic related energy when we see her place later
I don't really get what the problem is with the art. I haven't seen anything on par with the best of part 1, but the book just started. I also haven't seen anything bad or off-putting, it looks pretty much the same to me.
>>291863541He's like moss
>>291863589She's even better than I thought
>>291863239was the first series traditionally drawn then?
>>291812306Don't be a pussy, anon. Face reality.
>>291809422>YOU HAVE NO MOE
>>291827721You don't understand anon, dailies are the only place these people have a captive audience. Nobody gives a fuck what they think normally, so they're going to jump at the chance to have something other than the wall to scream at. Also, we're all autistic here and autists can't handle change: they can't help themselves from screeching.The girls named after high fashion brands in Asobi Asobase were also as interesting as the Asoken.>>291827903Yes. You'd think Shimoku raped your fucking dogs or something.
>>291831826Kucchi's fucking snapped
>>291831919By the time this came out, fujos were reclaiming their spot as King Shit of Otaku Mountain. Anime otaku fandom and the doujin scene were built on the backs of loser bitches wanting to fuck Char and/or Garma.
I distinctly remember /a/non reactions to Hato back in late 2010 / early 2011 were very positive.
>>291832117Leave it to the normalfag to sniff out the cock.>>291832130>Johnny Cash referenceOhno's burger is slipping >>291855393Where the fuck does Sue learn these things?>>291855675>The air is ripe with the stench of bitches!>>291855724Thanks OP. Even past it's prime, /a/ is a cesspit of degenerates, creeps and weirdos. We have no place to call anything creepy.
>>291866269>>The air is ripe with the stench of bitches!
>>291785720thanks op>they had a lot of sex afterward
>>291832030ragi and mayoi is always nice
>>291866180Better times
>>291855260what a fuckboy
>>291855580this is more than just fetish crossdressing, and crossing over into transgenderism
NEW EKO EKO!NEW EKO EKO!

Yoshitake >>>>>>
>>291855675Mada X Hato See3eeeeeeeeeeex while the rest will watch and schlick
seems like Ogiue's tsun is slowly melting away and leaving being a tsukkomi
>>291865584Most likely. It started in 2002 after all.
you know, now that ogiue's undone her paintbrush, she looks kinda familiar
>>291872181Kinda picrel too. Yours is better though.
>>291869696Hato as the top
>>291872181love>>291872532hatelove
>>291855393The Hatochin.
>>291873303 Madarame will pretend to be an uke to lure Hato in but once on the bed Mada will pull out his monster sausage and make Hato regret with each stroke that time he called him a Sou Uke
>>291865584Yes, the backgrounds are usually the first thing to go digital and you can easily tell everything was handcrafted.
>>291858093That's what I was saying in a previous thread when Madarame said rent was cheap near the campus.It makes no sense, not only is demand always going to be high, the constant rotation means you can rise rent regularly without issue.
>>291875383But what about good will, anon. Cheap flats for broke uni students..?In a society like 2000s Japan's I can imagine people being a bit more benevolent. Or am I too naive?
>>291875134Stop coping Madarame, you will take it up the ass
>>291875478No, that won't do Hato-kun, you are made for *unzip pants* BIG MADA DICK.
>>291875521incalculable moe levels
>>291875521my flat wives
>>291875521Mother with her adopted autistic daughter
>>291785339Ah! So this is really a silent chapter.When I first read this some 15 years ago I was confused and wondering if this was an error from the scanlator.Looking back, that wouldn't make much sense.>>291785454awww that's cute>>291785618I never really fully understood what was going on here. Why would Ohno do that?Did Ohno know that Madarame liked Saki and would like to see the pictures?And is Saki looking at Madarame in embarrassment or disappointment? That scene surely made him look like a pervert to Saki and the others.
>>291797606>But does that mean she knew?I have the same question. >>291879836>>291803576>also seems to say "welp, the cat is out of the bag".But that whole conundrum was not even his fault.Did he not defend himself on purpose?>>291794275>She knowsShe does? Since when?>>291807181>she ignoring his feelingsThat's not how it works anon. She is committed to a relationship.She doesn't have to justify anything, and Madarame knows that.
>>291785644What does this panel mean?Why does it show Madarame, then everyone else working, then back to Madarame in that situation?
>>291799036I know that feel.
>>291831834who are those characters?
>>291794006>That just feels unfulfilling. I just want someone I can understand man...We know what you mean, anon.But don't limit yourself too much. It's not like we can immediately tell who we can or cannot understand, or understand us.
>>291808631Damn Ogie!
>>291827777Holy shit you're right!
>>291809221I am confused. Now I understand why.But even so, I don't understand who is who there.
>>291880826I miss her so much
I LOVE TAKEO-CHAN
I have a question.Did the anime reach this point? I get the feeling it jumped a lot of stuff.
>>291809133>>291809154haha nice oneBut she was so disappointed...
>>291881469They did do an anime for Nidaime. Technically it would be the third, or fourth if you count the OVA as a separate anime, anime for Genshiken. The official English name for it went full retard and decided to translated Nidaime as Second Season.
>>291812306>I will always appreciate it for the ground level view of otaku culture.Agree with this and everything you said, and I would go as far as say it's even better today than it was back then, because now it allows anyone who reads it to have a view in what otaku culture was in the 00s, which is not easy for us to explain.
>>291832412Holy shit he is there!
>>291809498Thank you OP!I've read this many many years ago and it makes me feel nostalgic.Overall I found this manga very comfy. I remember liking it back then, and I liked it again now. I guess that makes it a favourite of mine.
>>291832412
