Synopsis: Society for the study of modern visual culture, also known as Genshiken, is now on charges of a more confident Sasahara. Things have changed among the semesters, and the Otaku Club now has a new otaku-hating member named Ogiue. Sasahara's initial goal of starting a circle of Doujin and selling these magazines created by fans at the next comic festival becomes a reality, but the reality is a cruel master ... who apparently played cross. Then the club is full of conversations about the relationship of Tanaka and Ohno, which takes a hesitant step on.
