Line 20:
In November 2010, [[Un Cancelled|the series is back up again]] as ''Genshiken Nidaime'' starting with Chapter 56, which was released as a bonus together with the Japanese ''Genshiken 2'' box-set that covered the start of a new Genshiken headed by Oguie and continuing in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine. Originally ''Nidaime'' was intended as a limited-run continuation that was only to last a volume or two, but it has since been picked up for regular serialization and the volume collections are published as volume 10+ of the original series, instead of as a new title.
There’s a [[Spiritual Successor]] by the same author called ''[[
There is also a novel entitled ''Genshiken: Return of the Otaku''.
Line 26:
* [[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).
* [[A Day in
* [[Adorkable]]: Madarame. "He's actually kind of [[Moe]], isn't he?"
* [[Airplane of Love]]
Line 88:
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{spoiler|Ogiue threw herself off the roof of her old school after her "friends" betrayed her and traumatized her crush; her doing so after the Manga Club incident indicates she hasn't worked it out of her system.}}
* [[Dungeonmaster's Girlfriend]]: Poor, poor Kasukabe.
* [[Elephant in
* [[Evolving Credits|Evolving End Credits]]: Each episode has subtle differences on the "Genshiken members sitting in the clubroom watching TV" end sequence, putting in or taking out characters and changing how they look. For example, episode 4 (which ended with Kasukabe going on a rampage after Madarame stuck a pair of cat ears on her) has everyone slumped over the table looking worn out, with Ohno standing nearby still dressed as [[Guilty Gear|Jam Kuradoberi.]]
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: Keiko puts it bluntly that she's very sure everyone knew about {{spoiler|Madarame's feelings for Kasukabe, probably even Kasukabe herself}}.
Line 122:
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Madarame gives this as the reason for why he does not want to tell his feelings to Saki in the novel.
* [[Jerkass]]: Haraguchi, also a [[Smug Snake]].
* [[Jerk
* [[Kansai Dialect]]: Yabusaki, who [[Hypocritical Humor|upbraids Ogiue for slipping into Tohoku-ben]] when she gets flustered.
* [[Karaoke Box]]: They go to one to help Kugayama become more outgoing- he ends up interrupting Madarame's performance of the [[Combattler V]] theme.
Line 159:
* [[Post Modernism]]
* [[Progressively Prettier]]: Happens to everyone, Madarame in particular benefits.
* [[Proud to Be
** Yoshitake too, except without most of that shamelessness.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Ohno has hair down to her hips. It's useful for all her cosplay.
Line 178:
** Good thing the fansubs offer footnotes about the fake names in the manga and anime.
*** While sadly, the official translations of both, do not.
** Also, the anime has the beeping clock from ''[[
** Obviously, all instances of Ohno and the others cosplaying count too. Like [[Xenosaga
*** Or [[Panty
** Sasahara notices a man with v-cut blonde hair who looks "too cool" to be an otaku at his first ComiFest. In the adult doujinshi section. [[Great Teacher Onizuka|Now, how many other blonde, v-haircut pervert otaku do we know?...]]
** One episode had Sasahara and Madarame playing [[Nintendo DS|DS]]. You can't actually SEE what they are playing, but the BGM of the game is the regular battle theme from ''[[Etrian Odyssey
** Pretty much everything Sue says is a reference to other manga/anime. One time she recited several lines of dialogue between Kagura and Chiyo from ''[[
** When {{spoiler|Hato's inner maiden}} fantasizes about Madarame, he responds with a "Shut up, 801-chan!" which is a reference to fujoshi-to-perfect-girl-evolution manga [[Tonari No 801-chan]] which itself had references to the ''original'' Genshiken. It's like a full circle of referencing.
** Chapter 56 has Sue channeling [[Bakemonogatari
* [[Shrines and Temples]]: The club members visit the Narita Temple during New Year's Eve)
* [[Skinship Grope]]: Lampshaded and ''then'' played straight, when Ohno fails to get Ogiue interested in her breasts, but Sasahara's sister proves all too willing to get a feel of them.
Line 196:
* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]: In the manga, the rest of the guys comment on how Kousaka's legs look when he crossplays. Oguie just asks "Is he really a guy?". It's hammed up even more in the anime.
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Rather realistically, Ohno and Kasukabe speak rather correct English with one hell of a rough Japanese accent, while Angela actually sounds convincingly American even when played by a Japanese [[Seiyuu]].
* [[Take That]]: Not too prevalent, given that it's a series about enjoying being an Otaku, but in one episode preview the club members mention that you really shouldn't sing [[Lucky Star|"Motteke! Sailor Fuku!"]] and [[Haruhi Suzumiya
* [[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.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Kasukabe saves the club for precisely this reason.
Line 216:
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Kasukabe claims to hate the otakus at Genshiken, but she still hangs around the clubroom without Kousaka there, and is more than willing to stand up for them.
* [[Wall of Text]]: If given a good enough reason, [http://www.mangareader.net/genshiken/58/5 Yoshitake will go off on her own tangent].
* [[Webcomic Time]]: A one-off form of it, when the series got [[Un Cancelled]] after about four and a half years, but events in-series had only moved on a couple months at most. Suddenly characters move from making references to series current to early and mid 2006, to referencing series that wouldn't even have existed yet if a strict chronology was followed on with the continuation. Angela's references to the ''[[
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Kousaka, who crossplays to help sell ''[[Doujinshi]]''. He doesn't expect Kasukabe to show up when she does.
** Also, {{spoiler|Hato}} in chapter 56.
