"The tone of the series definitely shifted with this book, I think it's partly because the character focus has shifted from the guys to the girls. As a female, I appreciate more acknowledgment of female otakuness (especially the sexual parts). It's not really a side that gets addressed too often (if at all). Too much is made of panty shots and bouncing breasts, it's nice to see that there are things girls look for too." (

THE DOUJINSHI CODE

The Genshiken has long been famous for its remarkable record of inactivity. But now that Kanji Sasahara has stepped in as the new club president, it looks as though things may change. Kanji wants the club to produce its first fanzine–and when the Genshiken members are accepted as official vendors at the summer Comic-Fest, they are forced to create a real doujinshi . . . and fast! With only a month before the submission deadline, can this sluggish bunch of otaku actually get anything done? Meanwhile, Kousaka is about to reveal a secret side of himself that nobody has ever seen. . . .
