'''''Genshiken''''', [[Portmanteau Series Nickname|short for]] '''''Gendai Shikaku Bunka Kenkyuukai''''' (or, ''The Society for the Study of the Modern Visual Culture''), is the story of the members of this ostensibly-useless club. Formed in the past as a sort of bridge between the manga, anime, and gaming clubs, most members of those three are at best indifferent to the continued existence of the Genshiken. The new extracurricular activities board has decided to close all clubs who don't hold any meaningful activities, the Genshiken is among them, and it's up to its members to do something that prevents the club from getting closed.
From obsessing over a favorite anime to buying and reading [[Fanfic|doujinshi]], from playing one's first [[Dating Sim]] to attending a convention (the anime's "ComiFes" is a direct play on the real-life "[[Comiket|ComiKet]]", which is held twice yearly), and many other things along the way, ''Genshiken'' puts the [[Otaku]] culture under the microscope for all to see.
Comparisons to ''[[Otaku no Video]]'' are nearly inevitable, though ''Genshiken'' is much more down-to-earth. (No creating a giant one-off Macross that can actually take off, for instance.)
Line 23:
There is also a novel entitled ''Genshiken: Return of the Otaku''.

* [[Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male]]: When Angela takes off her top, Ohno punches her boyfriend Tanaka hard enough to knock him out just to prevent him from seeing Angela's flesh. This is played for laughs. There is also Saki's violence towards Sasahara (but only once, and she later apologizes), Kucchi (who brings it on himself), and Madarame (who actually likes getting hit by Saki and deliberately tries to provoke her into hitting him at least twice).
* [[The Ace]]: Kousaka, in a more down-to-Earth version than most Aces. He is good-looking, athletic, and taught himself how to program in a month.
