The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture, better known as Genshiken, is now led by a more confident Sasahara. Between semesters the club has undergone several changes: a new member, Ogiue, who despises otaku culture, has joined. Sasahara’s original goal of forming a doujin circle and selling the fan‑made magazines at the next Comic Festival becomes a reality, though reality turns out to be a harsh tutor, especially for someone who apparently crossplays. After the event, the club buzzes with discussions about Tanaka and Ohno’s relationship, which takes a hesitant step forward.
