'''''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.)
