BACK TO SCHOOL A new academic year means new members for the lovably misfit The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture! Club president Chika Ogiue now has to manage a fresh-faced trio of yaoi fans (one of whom dabbles in cross-dressing), a surly American transfer student with a penchant for obscure anime quotes, and her own rising career as a professional manga artist. Can she actually find time to draw her own vanity project for Comic-Fest? This volume of Second Season includes special extras after the story!

THE MAIN EVENT LOOMS! Who has time for schoolwork when Comic-Fest is around the corner? With the deadline for their dojinshi looming, the Genshiken is starting to fray at the seams. And when Angela flies to Tokyo for the big event, one member of the group is in for a romantic rendezvous. When stress and libido collide, the sparks will fly!

DAMSEL (?) IN DISTRESS The cross-dressing Hato has captured the hearts of everyone in the Genshiken, but the sudden appearance of a beautiful "girl" in the otaku club raises suspicions among the student council members. A knight in shining armor steps in to save Hato... Yoshitake's big brother! But he has secrets of his own...

Welcome to the world of the Genshiken, home of the true otaku—the Japanese term for ubergeek. This is the story of a group of friends who are members of the most hard-core anime and manga fan club in all of Tokyo—and the boys and girls who love them. Second Season picks up where the previous series left off. Find out what happens when the most otaku of the otaku get together to form the Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture, aka the Genshiken!

SAKI, I... Hato's past drove him to cross-dressing, Yajima's got a complex about her looks, and no matter what happens, no one seems to be able to tell what's going on in Yoshitake's head. Still, this newbie trio has finally made themselves at home in the Genshiken. Which makes it a perfect time for a visit by the old boys of the club, in town for the school festival! But when generations collide, Madarame ends up alone in the club room with Saki, with his back against the wall. Everyone expects him to confess his feelings, but what will come out of his mouth at this pivotal moment?

TAKE IT OFF Realizing he can no longer control his feelings towards Madarame, Hato decides to give up cross-dressing and BL, cold turkey! As the other Genshiken members watch over Hato with anxiety, Comic-Fest season rolls around again. And with Comic-Fest comes the appearance of Angela, throwing Madarame's world into even greater disarray! As everyone's feelings start to heat up, the unthinkable begins to seem possible...

Honesty Hurts As Madarame's harem adventures continue with his escape from Keiko's terrifying clutches, Hato and Yajima each throw themselves into creating their own original manga. But when Ogiue and Yoshitaka read it and share their thoughts, is Hato really ready for that much honest criticism? Later, the Genshiken plans a trip for Kuchiki's rapidly-approaching graduation, and Madarame's coming along! It's time for a party - at Yajima's house...?

THE MAIN EVENT The Genshiken gang’s send-off of Kuchiki continues!
