Chapter 4: Gather 'Round the Round Table
Previous chapter:>>290625021
>>290649352So glad they blindside muns with this in chapter 4. Comedy gold.
The most boring manga ever written
>>290649522it's not for you
>>290649364And neither of them considered that this side character exists only to throw the actual little sister's appeal into sharp relief? Have I become stronger than Madarame all these years later? It doesn't feel right. I'd have to see the source material, but I don't know what they're referencing. Ah, there it is. One stat is higher, nothing to nipah about.
>>290649602don't post images during a dump
Done. I hope you don't whack off to A-nime style pictures, anon...Who are your favorite fight game characters?See you tomorrow!
>>290649438He's enough of a wuss that you could just change him into a girl for a while. There's aliens and shit. Anything goes.

>>290649680Thanks OP>Who are your favorite fight game characters?I don't play fighting games much, Ryu in Street Fighter, Link in Soul Calibur 2, Orie in UNICLR
>>290649656The old thread is still alive. The board is faster and shitter now, so threads are wasteful.
>>290649352holy shit lol
>>290649364>it's much less captivating, because she doesn't have the curves to fill it out yetSurprised that they don't think this is better.>>290649468Oh Madarame>>290649511>>290649524This is why he's the best.>>290649680Thanks for posting, OP.>Who are your favorite fight game characters?Not much of a fighting game player. Brian from Tekken 3, I guess?
>>290649478>i don't have a single piece of regular pornme neither king
>>290649622
>>290574517>What's your favorite manga?AriaShoulder-a-Coffin Kuro>>290600957>What's your favorite anime?FLCLPorco RossoLWA>>290625252>Which are your favorite video games?Ocarina of Time, Metroid Fusion>>290649680>Who are your favorite fight game characters?Talim, Juri (mostly based on design, though)
>>290649954Doesn't matter. Don't clog up a dump with your blogposting. No excuses.
>>290649680Thanks OP >Who are your favorite fight game characters?Bridget
>>290649954Images still interrupt the reader experience.>>290650951His post was fine, other than the image.
>>290649502The one good thing the English dub for the anime did was Madarame's line here being delivered really well as>It's not a strip game! IT'S A RAPE GAME!
>>290649352o/
>>290649428OH SHITthe anime for genshiken made it so they were discussing the anime for kujibiki unbalancethat is fucking awesomeand wedding dress sexo.
>>290649468>sama
>>290649680>I hope you don't whack off to A-nime style pictures, anon...Some days three or four times. Vid-eo Game girls too.>Who are your favorite fight game characters?I tend to like grapplers but also like the slow big hit type like the maid with the big sword in Arcana Heart 3, though in BlazBlue I mostly play as Bang and occasionally Tager.
>>290652263They specifically changed the manga discussions for Kujibiki Unbalance to anime for the anime version of Genshiken as a sort of meta-commentary type thing. Near the end of the manga they have the announcement that Kujibiki Unbalance is getting an anime be a discussion for them, which was around the time that the anime for Genshiken was confirmed as well if I remember right
>>290652463Some of the changes they made for the full actual Kujibiki anime were disappointing, mostly redesigns. Not bad overall, though. Never lets up the sensation of a sort of double-anime that's taking the piss. Kind of like Dara this season, but less lewd.
>>290649491Look at this coy slut
where's my nigga mo?
>>290649511Nice parallel where we have the abstract representation of the female form and soon after, a panel of a female body from the neck down.Scott McCloud would be proud.
>>290652683In the last thread.
>>290649511I just see letters.
>>290649544They UOOOOOH'd.
>>290649576The song he sings is very popular in Japan for some reason (nostalgic?). It's in many many rhythm games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WBSGQx8Z7oThe cat-duck song too. And Anpanman.
>>290649633>A time bomb of epic proportions Oh Madarame, if only you knew
>>290649680>Who are your favorite fight game characters?Cervantes, Rugal Bernstein, Brad Wong, Ivy Valentine, Sol Badguy, Ralf, K, Geese, Knightmare, Nrvnsqr Chaos, Shiki, Iori Yagami, Ayame, King(SNK), Sophitia, Lambda-11, Nu-13, Hakumen, Akuma, Clark, Oswald, and I'm just gunna stop there.
>>290650618Why is this something to shitpost about? I just feel bad now.
>>290649453>blushing at Saki's mere presenceHe's down bad.>>290649652>Future Boy ConanI loved that one, good taste.>>290649680Thanks.>I hope you don't whack off to A-nime style pictures, anon...Haha of course not... I definitely don't do that exclusively either...>>290649502
>>290656599It's a very good series, really worth a read.Excuse the kinda shit site, it's useful for licensed stuff though and usually has the officially licensed versions https://weebcentral.com/series/01J76XYCCGT5TS36HEK59DEAXQ/Hitsugi-Katsugi-No-Kuro---Kaichu-Tabi-No-Wa or you can just download it https://nyaa.si/view/2118155 and https://nyaa.si/view/2119468
>>290657340I guess I'll give it a shot then, didn't realize there was more.>weebcentralI use mangadot these days. It's been irritating jumping from site to site since mangadex nuked itself but at least any good site gets cataloged on everythingmoe.
God I forgot how great early original Genshiken was.
>>290649608>>290649622Dunno why but I wasn't expecting that, I didn't realize they were actually a couple?I keked
>>290649511our fucking guy>>290649680Thanks OP. I don't play fightans.
>>290658565They weren't until that moment. There's no point in skimming this. You won't absorb it.
>>290659381Then I was right, it's not like I thought they were a couple.It's just surprising, and unusual, for them to kiss like that so suddenly, especially if they weren't already a couple.
>>290652683Moleans
>>290649522You should get your ADD checked out
>>290649680Thanks for the dump; Faust is probably my all time favorite. Shermie, Bulletta, Shen Woo, R. Mika and Mag-fuckin-neto are up there too.
>>290656599got another one lol
>>290654003Same.I only started seeing it after he pointed it out.
>>290649544This is why childhood friends need competition in high school. Otherwise they'll move into college without anything changing.
>>290649576She looks like a delinquent.
>>290649599>>290649608>>290649622It's that easy!?Damn!
>>290649511That is very big belly button
>>290649511Hey that's the famous kirby level
>>290660735If you're an handsome chad, yes
>>290649511This is the ideal female body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
>>290649680>>290649705Thx buddy.>Who are your favorite fight game characters?Had a template where you can fill your fav from each game but I realized half of them would be empty. So I went for the second best choice.

>>290661847Lmao
>>290649564What a piece of shit.
>>290649587Someone said he didn't deserve her, but I think it's the opposite.
>>290649402goggles girl is so hotshame about the redesign
>>290649491maybe she needs glasses
>>290649544they're childhood friends!?
>>290649680>Who are your favorite fight game characters?back when i was a kid playing super smash bros. brawl, i used to play the shit out of samus and pitbut now that i have super smash bros. ultimate, it's all mr. game and watch, all the timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ApvFEZmP48
>>290662749Oh what the fuck man. RUINED.
>>290661142One of them isn't like the others
>>290661760based
>>290663336True. Should have used a standing picture of Howard so he fits.
>>290652683I read the chapter in the last thread, where can I read the rest? Found nothing on nyaa and mangadex, and there are only like 3 physicals out of the seven total and they're completely out of wack.
>>290665240>Found nothing on nyaaDid you even look?https://nyaa.si/view/2118155 https://nyaa.si/view/2119468
>>290665240You can see on >>290657340's post, which is what I'd usually do. You could also read the original daily in the archive, here https://desuarchive.org/a/search/subject/daily%20coffin%20kuro/order/asc/
>>290665240If you're just looking for an online reader, weebcentral is what I use.
lazy and/or incompetent people who can't research on their own shouldn't be spoonfed.
>>290665557>>290665579>>290666359yeah thats on me, I shoulda lurked/read moarthank yall
>>290663084What, seriously? That is shite.
>>290666359While I agree with you on principle, I sometimes spoonfeed people when it's a series I wanna shill.
>>290649511Madarame once again showing why he's the best.>>290649622I wonder if this fast development was a meta joke since they were talking about Kujibiki Unbalance moving fast for a romance manga at the start.
>>290649587Something I do miss about the series as it progresses is that we get less of these Saki reactions.
>>290649364Tanaka strikes me as such a nice chill guy. I like him a lot.>>290649535>>290649544>Flustered Kasukabe is very cute.>>290649564Kousaka is like a gap moe character, but more like gap thirst trap or something.>>290649633NOOOOOPoor Madarame...>>290649680Thank you, OP!I don't really play fighting games but my most-played characters would be Mileena and Heihachi.
>>290670198One thing that I really like about Madarame is that, while he is an awkward nerd crushing on a hot girl, he's not SHY like so many (FUCKING BORING) nerd characters in anime and manga. Yeah he'll just burst out with the >>290657250 YOU SCREW HER TOO right to Saki's face. Madarame is among the greatest nerd characters in Japanese fiction, which isn't hard considering most of them are so fucking dull.
>>290649511one of my first saved webms and I never realized it was from here
>>290671550Megane from Urusei Yatsura is another great one, I'd say.
>>290672856Yeah he was the other big example who came to mindlol

>>290668378If you want such people to improve, you should bait them to use the GNAA tools.
>>290649622Don't let the loneliness set in
>>290649352I love Charlie Chaplin
>>290675855why wouldn't this work
>>290670198It was the same complaint /a/ makes about romance in boys' comics today. It's too drawn out and unrealistic to be either entertaining or hot. The dramatic superposition collapses instantly with communication and you can move on to other things, in a good story or in life.
>>290676202It doesn't work that way, but it does work. Quickly even. Slower methods are just cheaper.
Chapter 5: Fighting the Crowd
>>290676663is that rance?
>>290676707The smell is hard to understate.
>>290676663Is that a vagrant story cosplay?
>>290676830This fucking guy
>>290676790>cyber alias
Done. There's no better feeling than buying way too much shit you don't actually need.Have you ever attended comiket?See you tomorrow!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o09jQnxQX3w
>>290676941Thank you anon.
>>290676941>Have you ever attended comiket?Nah, I'm too poor for that so I've just gone to local conventions and such in the past but those kind of suck so I don't even bother with that nowadays.
>ah! the otaku culture>proceed to coomsum
>>290676908kousaka's top would look really cute on a girl.
Genshiken anon is Chilean?El qlao con buen gusto
>>290676796ONE OF US ONE OF US>>290676872Of course the guy who doesn't do anything runs his mouth the most. Makes you wonder if he's actually helping to run the table or if he just took advantage of the vendor status to get those new releases for himself.
>>290677426He probably has a couple guys w/ technical vendor status running around, and sells them on ebay keeping none.
>>290676872Such is the fate of all fools who try to make money on their hobby.
>>290676941this chapter really made me want to go. my town is too small to have eve a regular comics convention, and I never looked into traveling somewhere else for one. I should do that. >cuecahuehuehue
>>290676707I really don't get the point in events like this where you'll be packed like sardines and your peers won't uphold basic public hygiene. It sounds very unpleasant.
>>290677764>huehuehueThat's for brazil.
>>290677874yes, and "cueca" means something else there.
>>290677097New to otaku culture?
>>290676941Not yet despite living in Japan for over a decade.I kinda want to go "someday".
>>290676941>Have you ever attended comiket?too american for that, sadlyどうもスレ主
>>290678659I expect like every other live event, it's been turned into a hipster carnival full of streamers and other attention whores.
>>290679483Worse. It's been taken over by Korean gachas.
>>290677840I always just viewed it as something to take on the chin. You take the good with the bad because you know that they're your likeminded peers. Evidently not in all the ways, since they don't put deo on like you do, but it is what it is.As long as they haven't actually shit themselves or are leaving a residue. That's when it goes over the line.
>>290676718The council of big boys
>>290676765Absolutely would the big ladies center stageEspecially since they're just fat enough to be less likely to be fujos
>>290680548>As long as they haven't actually shit themselves or are leaving a residue.I refuse to believe there has ever been a single con where that hasn't happened at all.
>>290676796loli nipples, lolipples
>>290676941Thanks for the readNah, I've never really been interested with actually going to Japan. I do go to local conventions. It's all comic book stuff instead, but it's fun seeing indie creators and the small locally-based publishers. Plus the LCS usually brings boxes of about 5 years backstock floppies that they sell at 50% cover price.
>>290679483>>290679583That's why I still haven't gone.The comiket I want to go most likely disappeared two decades ago. Akiba was a letdown as well in that regard.It changed. And not in a good way.
>>290676941I wonder how common it is for college clubs to actually make a doujinshi/fanzine. It seems like the kind of thing that would be fun in theory but flounder with too many idea guys.
>>290676663Kousaka and Saki are both so sexy. Truly a hot couple.
>>290676872Haraguchi's a douche but he's really an interesting character too.
>>290680613>Especially since they're just fat enough to be less likely to be fujosInteresting, didn't know about that.
>>290677176It looks cute on him, too.
>>290676941Thanks, OP.Unfortunately not.
>>290683354How insightful. Please elaborate.
>>290679483>>290679583>>290681046You can come up with excuses about how cons are actually lame, how putting yourself out there was always out of your reach, even after your backs give out and a nurse has to wipe your asses for you.But I've loved the cons I've gone to. Hard to find people more passionate about what they're spend time on than the ones actually making their own shit.
>>290677840Dunno, i've never gone and never will. I hate crowded places. Also i'm not an otaku
>>290676941Thanks OP>Have you ever attended comiket?No, I attended the comic book equivalent in my country once but it's a much quieter scene here and I'm not much of a comic guy to begin with so it was wasted on me. I did get a nice haunter plushie though.
>>290683824I've met passionate people who make comics. Chodes. I like their work, not their presence. I'll buy their shit, but I won't drink with them.
>>290684076You met one dude that thought you were boring and developed a complex abut it more like
>>290676941>Have you ever attended comiket?Yeah. I found it kinda boring desu. It's literally pretty much all just porn. I guess it's fine if that's what you're looking for but I was imagining more of a typical con experience like you'd have in western anime conventions with events and panels and whatnot. Also vtuber and gacha shit had way too much of a presence. Maybe it was better pre-covid...
>>290676941Thanks OP.>Have you ever attended comiket?No and I don't want to, there's too many people in a close area.
>>290684362Why didn't you just go to the other 4 halls that aren't porn? Or go up to the cosplay area? Also come on it is literally named Comic Market.
>>290676682Long neck>>290676796>>290676809He learned Madarame's technique, but it seems he isn't ready for it.>>290676872He's not entirely wrong about the Genshiken not creating anything, but wow, what a hypocritical sack of shit.>>290676941Thanks for posting, OP.>There's no better feeling than buying way too much shit you don't actually need.Couldn't be me...>Have you ever attended comiket?No, but it's on the bucket list. I hear it's changed a lot, though. I missed out on the old comiket and the old Akiba.
>>290676663Who's the kid?
>>290676839He's not wrong.
>>290684700Just because he's not wrong doesn't mean he's rightHe does nothing but badmouth people behind their backs while acting like he's above everything even though he's just as bad as the people he's criticising, everyone can see through the act but nobody wants to make things awkward by dressing him downHe's a well written piece of shit, everyone in some sort of otaku club knew a guy like this, you can smell him through the page.
>>290676694Imagine the smell.
>>290676839Prove him wrong.
>>290676872A true manga editor.
>>290676908He looks molestable.
>>290677348this is known
>>290685820Hehehe.
>>290684627The lil bro of one of the pro cosplayers in front, perhaps.
>>290685793The purpose of Genshiken is the study and enjoyment of otaku cultureThey are enjoying otaku cultureWhat he's doing is trying to monetise his hobby, and even then he's not 'actually' contributing.
>>290683824I'm not going to con if they don't have shit I'm interested in. Stop projecting.
>>290680627hence why he brought it up
>>290680548I don't consider anyone who refuses to bathe to be my peer.
>>290682997>>290683312Honestly a college club does benefit from a Haraguchi to tardwrangleEven if he's an asshole
>>290687352The thing about Haraguchi is that he doesn't actually do anything. He just bitches, plays pretend editor, and skims the money and industry connections while the club members do the actual work.
>>290676941Thanks OP >Have you ever attended comiket?Never
>>290676663Holy shit, I think this is the first time I've seen Vagrant Story being referenced anywhere. BTW, looking at this page, I was thinking that Kasukabe could do a killer BT cosplay from .hack//SIGN, so I was surprised when I saw that Kio referenced the character a couple of pages later >>290676790 I wonder if he thought the same
>>290688279The guy next to her seems to be cosplaying Crim from the same series (although he drew Crim's symbol on his shirt instead of on his chest). It makes sense for the author to choose these characters, since Sign was brand new at the time this manga started serializing. Hell, they both started the same month.
>>290676648>Comicfest 2002>2002Is it still the biggest today? Have things changed since then?
>>290676790Imagine taking photos of cute cosplayers as they grow up
>>290649478Madarame is strong enough to not hide his power level
>>290649608REEEE FUCKING NORMIE
>>290688977Lewd
I wish I could go to Lucca Comics
>>290676941Thank you for posting!
>>290684590The other halls were full of official vtuber shit which I have an even less interest in. It was probably better in the past but it was pretty grim when I went in 2023.Granted I did more research later on and Japan does have normal style cons as well so I want to try those at some point.As far as the name goes, that is correct. That was just me doing less than zero research and being an absolute regard. I don't want to say comiket is terrible, it's there for who likes it. Just wasn't my thing. especially since I just get things for free on the internet. I did end up getting a shikamaru badge from a grab bag from some official vendor which was pretty neat.
>>290692905Me too
Chapter 6: The Secret Room
Saki is so fucking best.
>>290697932Truly a piece of shit
>>290698314So you're saying I have a chance!
Done. I sure hope to meet one of those bald middle-aged men lovers one day.Do you know how to speak english?See you tomorrow!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f03NuErDCcs
I'm not sure if I hate Saki or enjoy seeing her get ragebaited repeatedly.

>>290698478Nah, I only speak Esperanto and use a Esperanto to Japanese mtl that I then translate with a Japanese to Dutch mtl to then have translated into English for my posts here
>>290700896Guess the clothes are hiding them. Or the author decided to enhance them later on.
>>290698294Is that Degwin Zabi on the wall? Kinky.
>>290698403I really hate the made-up names for series that are obvious references to real stuff. I think that, for a manga that revolves so much around otaku culture, it detracts from the work a lot
>>290649544>"Girls Next Door">Not Osananajimi = Childhood FriendWhy are Murica translations so shitty?
>>290697989sex with saki every single day
>>290698424Oh, I was wondering if this was an anime-original scene, since the adaptation opened with it and hadn't happened yet in the manga.
>>2906769412009. That was the year FMD: Muramasa came out. Total noob, I also bought my first MTSP Rin doujin without knowing Jin at the time. I also had a signed yellow Taokaka and Red Ragna bandanas by none other than Daisuke Ishiwatari himself with a very good(and cute) translator by his side. I lost the red one and the yellow one is somewhere in my boxed storages. I also got some other doujins, but can't remember them atm. Also got to out at the cosplay room, but you need to pay a fee. Had a cute girl wink at me when I was checking all the people attending. I also got to attend the Asakusa summer matsuri, so I got to eat the stall food. Holy shit the takoyaki there does not compare here to murrica. It's so fucking good. Also slept under a bridge in Misato-ku under one of the JRR lines. A guy shared a cardboard box with me and I gave him 2k yen. First time also seeing people sleeping on carboard boxes or in them, like everyone from old men to businessmen to young girls and boys, probably college, in front of the Akihabara station.The only thing I regret was not exploring Osaka and Akihabara more. Mt. Hiei was definitely a nice hike.
>>290699877>do smug power-tripping assholes exist IRL?yes
>>290701728I meant the part about shittalking literally everybody while bumming off them.
>>290698314if it weren't for the resolution this would be banner material
>>290698329I wish a cute girl could say this to me irl.
>>290698424I dont know why, but I thought these guys were in college not high school.
>>290702329You thought right.
>>290676941>Have you ever attended comiket?I want to go before I feel too old, and if I could participate at some point, even better
>>290700902Lick the knife ears
>>290697980>>290697989>saki is a lotrfag>like meI'm in love.
>>290697958OH NO IT'S OHNO!
>>290699877>>290701989Every hobby that has some people producing material or hosting an event will have a Hariguchi floating around. It's always irritating because they think they're hot shit and responsible for everything because>oooo this effort only exists because I collected everyone under MY bannerbut they up limiting a lot of collaborative effort as the people that can't stand them splinter away. Both the people staying and leaving are doing so to avoid drama and the bother in their own way, so really cool shit of everyone coming together just never happens.
>>290697958The Sex has arrived
>>290698007She doesn't have the curves to be I-No
>>290701224Yeah, the manga otherwise thrives on how real and relatable they all are, but I don't get that if I have to guess "Well does Ohno like SamSho or is there some other game I don't know about."
>>290698478Thanks for the read OPI dunno anymore. I realize I probably should've paid more attention in English class when I was younger, because I'm a native speaker but I realize I don't really appreciate sentence structure and grammar all that well on the technical level.
>>290649342thx
>>290698478Thanks op>Do you know how to speak english?No, uso google traduttore per qualunque post su 4 chan.
>>290697958Imagine the sex with her
>>290698007Kousaka as Bridget...
>>290698216>bottom leftWhen did he appear?
>>290698368Her fucking face in the top right
>>290698478Danke, OP.Nein, leider nicht.
>>290707308She looks like she stinks a bit.That's not necessarily bad though
>>290702084I did what I could.
>>290698478>Do you know how to speak englishtiro de traductor pa escribir aqui
>>290708124Good job
>>290698478おい、何言ってんの？

>>290649587>but boys don't cryis that a The cure reference or is the actual lyric?
>>290649652>AnpanmanKugayama really has odd tastes
>>290676682you can longer camp there(a lot of security starting the night before in all of Obaida, you HAVE to get the first train there is you want an advantage), I went a couple of times in winter
>>290683863>i'm not an otakuwhere do you think you are right now? >>290677840>you'll be packed like sardinespost covid they sell limited tickets and inside it's not that cramped anymore, but there are very long lines for new releases of popular circles
>>290698647it is allowed, they have special copies just for that function, the one you buy are sealed in plastic
>>290698034False. Cambridge is in Oxford.
>>290676941>Have you ever attended comiket?yes, it was a fun time but I avoided big circles in the morning, only went there after they finished new releases and there was no line in front of them
>>290677097I mean, doujinshi are fanworks, they don't are done by fans for fans, a bit different than the capitalist nightmare we live
>>290697958ENTER
>>290697980ah right, LOTR movie was out during this time. Fellowship was the year before, therefore Two tower was next. Weird we didn't see any cosplayer of that during the previous chapter
>>290710553Otaku shit hadn't yet been deluded into mainstream 'nerd' shit by then.
>>290697989>cause the actors are all good lookingAre they?
>>290710574They were talking about Lodoss in the previous page, that's basically a D&D unofficial setting
>>290697989Do you think Saki would have actually cosplayed here if they made her a LOTR style costume?
>>290710588They always talk about Legolas
>>290707367He's always there. Always watching.
>>290710404>where do you think you are right now?/a/, a place where more than 90% of the anons doesn't own a single manga
>>290712494ownership is the mark of otakudom?
>>290698007The president weirds me out, like a grey alien in the background of a fake looking picture
>>290698478>Do you know how to speak english?Aroha mai, kāore e taea e au.
>>290710404>where do you think you are right now?I think /a/ hasn't been an otaku zone since 2016.I watch anime occasionally, that's it. Most people are like me here now I reckon
>>290712601Is the least I expect from one
>>290714594>you must consooom or you're not a REAL otakufuck off shill
Since when being an otaku is something desireable that you canhold over other people anyways?
>>290714594Why?Buying physical stuff is unnecessary today, and a waste of money
>>290715077It's more like elitism I think, like "you are not an otaku, you can't be here and have fun with us"
>>290715126Nothing is a waste as long as you enjoy it
>>290715914I can enjoy it without buying it physically though
What's the difference between a casual fan and an otaku when both just watch anime and read manga online while owning nothing anime/manga?
>>290717519Elitism, i.e. self-importance
>>290697958ENTER BEST GIRL>>290707308I hope you're old and balding, anon.
>>290717867Wrong
>>290717519The money I save by torrenting is going towards buying me a sex doll of my waifu
>>290720040Explain?
>>290700754Because men are retarded and not worth empathy anon
>>290720688this guy gets it.
>>290708124good shit
Chapter 7: A Fruit Plucked Too Soon
>>290721703Tiddies
Done. I'm not an expert, but I struggle to see how just dropping in like that could ever work on a girl (unless you're really really handsome I guess). Have you ever worn nekomimi ears?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1U4Z856sW0
>>290721703That's a big gamepad.
>>290722105Thanks OP>Have you ever worn nekomimi ears?Pretty sure I never did.
>>290723018UUUU
>>290722105She means sex, right?
>>290723429yeah
>>290723429Yeap. She doesn't get the whole cosplay concept in design.
>>290721824Armored Core my beloved.
>>290721969kousaka's gonna take you back to the pastto play the shitty games that suck ass
>>290721703Ookii Oono mammaries...
>>290721805Don't prostitue the Oono!
>>290721932Saki's sweat...
>>290721969There is this thing called "let's play" you could be doing.Trust me, you won't regret it in 5 years.
>>290722035>>290722056Just realized that Kanako is TALL.
>>290722105Thx OP
>>290722125Does the average joe still remembers Schumacher?
>>290726848I hear about him all the time when I was a kid. He's a German or Austrian racer I'm pretty sure.
>>290721703She got the upgrade immediately
>>290722105>He's creepyHe's a professional.
>>290722105thanks OP you've inspired me to buy this manga for my collection>Have you ever worn nekomimi ears?Yes, I'm not a faggot
hate Saki. loev Ohno.
>>290721869That's womanspeak for "he's catching on to my bullshit"
>>290721886The boys are back in town.
>>290722071No mention of male members whatsoever, because it's irrelevant to the audience.
How many girls will join?
>>290729885Secret desu~.
>>290722105Yup, I hit my deadlift PR in nekomimi ears
>>290729885Depends on if you include the sequel made many years after the original ended
>>290721762Ohno wants you to Jam it in
>>290721955I always wonder how people feel about these small time commentators. The ones that don't sit behind the desk and try to relay an active analysis to the crowd, and instead are just hypemen for the moments you can already see.
>>290721988She's so fucking cute
>>290722105Thanks for the read, OP. I think at that point, if you're dropping in, you do kinda expect it to be over on some level. You just want it actually said and done>Have you ever worn nekomimi earsNah. I like being a big boy, I can never be a cute little cat.
>>290721969>"Lame-ass games"The actual term is "Kusoge", which is relevant in Japanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KusogeThis translation is terrible—yikes
>>290732924is there a better one?
>>290734307Check the usual place.
>>290734448There isn't.
>>290722013Madarame is love. Madarame is life.>>290722043Such a good page. So many emotions packed in that fourth panel that are about to turn ugly only for Kousaka to deflate them. Reminds me of a samurai duel where someone blocks the other guy from unsheathing his sword.
I don't like Saki. She's a shallow asshole.>>290732924This translation is probably ancient.
When is Genshiken set? Early 2000s?
>>290735585Take a look at chapter 5 again, you might notice something.
>>2907356332002, sorry didn't notice it
>>290721732Long hair Madarame best girl
>>290727221I meant today. When I was a kid the guy was well-known, his name was synonymous with speed. But I don't hear about him anymore.
this will be a controversial take but I like Yoshitake
>>290721732Kousaka kinda looks like early 90s Beck lol.
>>290735136I kinda like more experienced anons chiming in, though. It's fun discovering trivia like this.
>>290721988Ohno cutest.>>290721998Reading Tanaka and Ohno's very staunchly-principled stance on cosplay is so interesting. Stuff like what Tanaka says here about charging money for photos or how Ohno later says she'd never have sex while wearing a costume because it does a disservice to the character she's cosplaying as. Really shows how low we've fallen with OF...
>>290722105>Have you ever worn nekomimi ears?Yes. With a cute tiny bells!I was forced to...
>>290721762For the anon who was wondering before, here are her tits.>>290721776That's a terribly rude thing to say, Saki.>>290722105Thanks for posting, OP. Poor Tanaka.>Have you ever worn nekomimi ears?I don't think so.
>>290735912You sometimes hear news about him or something related to him, but he's out of the public eye since his accident.His brother Ralf Schumacher has been the subject of internet memes due to his appearances in some pretty memeable TV ads.
>>290721988She used the paper thing I forgot the name
>>290735136Saki is based.
>>290737985Harisen.
yawn,this feels a bit boring so far.Does anything interesting actually happens down the line or is it just characters hanging out like so far?
>>290732924>This translation is terrible—yikesIt's even the official translation, which is why it's hard to find any fan translations for it these days. >>290735136>This translation is probably ancientIt's from 2012.
>>290726848if you like F1, you do
>>290726848>>290739909I don't even like F1 but I do remember him. And his name still comes up in jokes about speeding or something like that from time to time.The fact that he hasn't appeared in public for over 10 years after that skiing accident does not help his recognizability, though.
>>2907398432012 was 14 years ago, there were only a bunch of terms people wanted to keep japanese after translation
Thanko OPFirst time reading this and I'm really enjoying it so far. Mobface massive titties nerdy girl is really reeling me in.
>>290736519I remember a doujin where the whole Genshiken had an orgy and Kousaka dies of ass STD's or cancer. I just laughed hysterically for that ending alone, the author musta hated Kousaka.
>>290739586I think it's supposed to be a comfy sol about otaku autists.Alas, me not being otaku or autistic, I can't relate.I'm still quite fascinated by that culture though, so I'll stick around a bit longer
>>290676791As a smell sense lacker, I had no issue with this at summer comiket. The heat on the other hand, holy shit.
