[00:02] ---
Last year, the Society for the Study
of Modern Visual Culture's attempts to recruit
[00:06] ---
new members ended in absolute failure.
[00:08] ---
What do you feel was the
cause of this failure?
[00:13] ---
I guess it was all the cosplay
outfits I brought...
[00:17] ---
And how I wore them during my heroics!
[00:21] ---
That's right. So this year you
won't be doing either.
[00:24] ---
First, Ohno-sempai will not be cosplaying
during our recruitment efforts.
[00:29] ---
And Kuchiki-sempai will not
be allowed to be present.
[00:32] ---
I'm not even allowed to be there?
[00:35] ---
I had to do what I did to
catch the cosplay thieves!
[00:39] ---
It's true that there was an
attempt to steal the costumes.
[00:43] ---
But in the end, that
meant that nobody joined.
SIGN The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture
[00:48] ---
So these are my orders as circle president.
[00:50] ---
If we don't get any new members
for two straight years in a row,
[00:53] ---
we might end up getting shut down.
[00:54] ---
Oh no. What an awful location.
[00:56] ---
But Ogiue-san...
[00:57] ---
It looks like a rabbit hutch!
[00:59] ---
Uwah!
[01:04] ---
We did get one new member.
[01:07] ---
Did you make her walk around
campus wearing that?
[01:10] ---
Ogiue Chika is my waifu!
[01:12] ---
That's all she wants to say.
[01:13] ---
Now, now...
[01:14] ---
Kuchiki-kun, I'm confiscating your cellphone.
[01:20] ---
You're cosplaying anyway.
[01:22] ---
We just need to make sure
Kuchiki-kun doesn't.
[01:24] ---
That's true, but...
[01:26] ---
I'd feel bad making Sue be the only one.
[01:28] ---
That's a lie.
[01:31] ---
I'd hoped we could get another guy to
join, but I guess that's not happening.
[01:36] ---
Why is that?
[01:38] ---
The only guy we've got right
now is Kuchiki-sempai.
[01:41] ---
I want another one to keep an eye on him.
[01:42] ---
He's been treating this place like
his harem, come to think of it.
[01:45] ---
Oh, but if a guy joined...
[01:47] ---
Sasahara-san graduated.
Wouldn't he be worried?
[01:51] ---
What are you talking about?
That doesn't matter!
[01:54] ---
Are you confident about that?
[01:55] ---
No, I mean...
[01:57] ---
You're working hard at getting new members.
[02:00] ---
Are you trying to imply that's not like me?
[02:01] ---
That's not true.
[02:03] ---
Well, wouldn't it bother you?
[02:06] ---
If, a few years down the road, you heard
that the circle you were in shut down.
[02:11] ---
Yeah, I guess that would bother me.
[02:14] ---
Good luck, Miss President!
[02:17] ---
You don't need to tell me.
[02:18] ---
By the way, Ogiue-san.
[02:19] ---
Yes?
[02:21] ---
I read the draft you gave me.
Can I tell you what I thought?
[02:25] ---
Yes!
[02:27] ---
Please.
[02:29] ---
I stayed up all night fixing the draft.
I don't have confidence right now.
[02:34] ---
Confidence isn't...
[02:38] ---
Hey, Sue! Those were for Comic Festival!
Where did you get them?
[02:42] ---
Oh, did you find those in the circle room?

[02:44] ---
And those are mine! You're doing

SIGN Shiiou University Manga Research circle
[02:51] ---
Oh, how's it going over there?
[02:53] ---
We're right next to you. Just look.
[02:57] ---
I'm not good with that blonde
girl. And I know she'd find me.
[03:00] ---
We've got a lot of girls here this year.
[03:03] ---
If I see any really weird ones,
want me to send them to you?
[03:05] ---
Huh?
[03:05] ---
Maybe with a nasty look in their eyes.
Someone who'd jump out a second story window.
[03:09] ---
I'll pass.
[03:11] ---
Was that Yabusaki-san?
[03:13] ---
Yabu?
[03:14] ---
She was just bragging.
[03:15] ---
They must have a lot of new members.
[03:19] ---
Okay, it's time for me to get started too.
[03:24] ---
Okay!
[03:25] ---
This year I'm going to do this the right
way. I'm going to do what I can do.
[03:30] ---
It's the only thing I can do.

[05:04] ---
Looking good!
[05:07] ---
The stage is set!
[05:10] ---
All that's left is for
me, the main character,
[05:14] ---
to finish things off with my "Ramen Angel
Pretty Menma - Elect Makeup Version" cosplay!
[05:28] ---
There's two more pieces
of clothing to get rid of.
[05:31] ---
Sue's showing her cold face!
[05:35] ---
Wait! No! This was expensive!
[05:40] ---
Damn it! Kasukabe-sempai!
[05:45] ---
The other side of the
path. The promised place.
[05:52] ---
I'm Yajima.
[05:53] ---
I'm Yoshitake!
[05:54] ---
You did it, Ogiue-san! Two new members!
[05:57] ---
Yeah...
[05:58] ---
Did you two join after you saw her drawing?
[06:01] ---
Yeah. I'm an artist too so I was impressed.
[06:05] ---
Yeah! All those people watching and
she didn't look embarrassed at all.
[06:08] ---
Not many people could draw a picture of Yuki
x Shige with so many people looking at them!
[06:12] ---
No, that wasn't quite like that...
[06:15] ---
No, no! That was totally Yuki x Shige!
[06:17] ---
I knew these are the kind of girls
who my drawing would attract.
[06:21] ---
I guess it doesn't matter. I don't
like the way Kuchiki-sempai is looking.
[06:25] ---
More for my harem!
[06:27] ---
Forty-five grams of confusion,
and five grams of embarrassment.
[06:29] ---
Ogiue-san's a proffesional manga artist!
[06:32] ---
Seriously? Where?
[06:34] ---
No, I just have one work published.
[06:36] ---
And she has a boyfriend!
[06:37] ---
Y-Your life sounds really nice.
[06:40] ---
So do you, Ohno-sempai!
[06:42] ---
And her boyfriend's a manga editor!
[06:44] ---
He's got a real job!
[06:45] ---
Do you really get work
by sleeping with someone?
[06:47] ---
The protagonist gets everything!
[06:49] ---
I don't even feel like answering that.
[06:51] ---
The president is my waifu!
[06:53] ---
Forget that, Sue.
[06:55] ---
If you love her that much,
you should marry her!
[06:57] ---
Way to go, Sue!
[07:00] ---
Um...
[07:01] ---
May I come in for a while?
[07:05] ---
Of course, come in.
[07:07] ---
You can sit here.
[07:09] ---
What's your name?
[07:10] ---
Um, Hato.
[07:12] ---
Kuchiki-sempai is scared.
[07:14] ---
Do normal pretty girls scare him?
I guess he is an otaku.
[07:17] ---
Hey. Can I ask a question, everybody?
[07:20] ---
How many of the girls here
could be described as "rotten?"
[07:25] ---
Does that sort of topic bother you?
If it does, I won't bring it up.
[07:28] ---
I'm fine.
[07:30] ---
She was just talking about Yuki x Shige...
[07:32] ---
I'm alright, I mean.
[07:35] ---
I like it.
[07:37] ---
Great, Hato-chan!
[07:38] ---
So while I'm introducing myself, why don't
I hand out some of my favorite BL doujinshi?
[07:43] ---
Do you carry those everywhere?
[07:44] ---
I just happened to have some today. I hope
you don't mind which character's on top.
[07:48] ---
If we do, are you going to quit?
[07:50] ---
Don't worry, I'm okay
with almost any pairing.
[07:53] ---
I do not object to their marriage.
[07:55] ---
Seriously? Personally, I like it when one
swears an oath of fealty to the other.
[07:58] ---
This is...
[08:00] ---
No! At this rate we won't even be an otaku
circle, we'll end up as a rotten girl circle!
[08:05] ---
I'm sorry, Sasahara-san.
[08:07] ---
Maybe I did something wrong... Or maybe it was
going to end up this way no matter what!
[08:11] ---
Can I see them too?
[08:12] ---
Here you go.
[08:23] ---
Is that a wig?
[08:24] ---
Um, I...
[08:25] ---
No, I mean I...
[08:28] ---
A guy? Dressed as a girl?
[08:43] ---
I see! That dedication to shaving!
[08:47] ---
The loose-fitting clothes that hide
the figure! That natural makeup!
[08:51] ---
And voice training to sound like a girl!
[08:54] ---
My extensive training
means I can tell for sure!
[08:57] ---
She did everything she could
do before she came here today!
[09:01] ---
So she could talk with us!
[09:04] ---
Welcome to Genshiken, Hato-kun!
[09:06] ---
Can you tell us your full name?
[09:11] ---
Hato Kenjiro!
[09:13] ---
I've got the perfect cosplay for you.
[09:17] ---
Um, I don't really do that.
[09:20] ---
No, now's not the time for that.
[09:22] ---
This is gonna be fun!
[09:24] ---
If she loves these things...
[09:25] ---
I must summon Tanaka-san!
[09:29] ---
Why is Kuchiki-sempai smiling harder
than I've ever seen him smile this year?
[09:34] ---
I knew it. This is a circle of weirdos.
[09:39] ---
Ogiue hates otaku!
[09:42] ---
She especially hates otaku women!
[09:46] ---
This circle's a little
crazier than I anticipated.
[09:49] ---
I guess university circles are like that.
[09:51] ---
How did you know?
[09:56] ---
"Rararame-san."
[10:00] ---
Um, well...
[10:02] ---
Should I play along?
[10:05] ---
"Don't say my name like you're
singing in a musical." Was that it?
[10:10] ---
"I'm sorry, I bit my tongue."
[10:11] ---
"No. That was deliberate."
[10:13] ---
"I blit my twongue!"
[10:14] ---
So we're doing the whole thing then.
[10:16] ---
Bye.
[10:17] ---
Did you come here just to do that?
[10:24] ---
What? This is from Ogiue-san!
[10:28] ---
You want me to answer it?
[10:30] ---
Hello?
[10:32] ---
Yes, this is Madarame.
[10:34] ---
Madarame-sempai?
[10:37] ---
Sue told me to pick up.
[10:39] ---
No, no permanent damage.
[10:41] ---
"Your house is haunted!"
[10:42] ---
A welcome party?
[10:51] ---
Okay, you're out of time!
[10:52] ---
You think too much, Madarame-san.
[10:54] ---
But I can't tell! Is one
of them really a guy?
[10:58] ---
Yup.
[10:59] ---
I'll ask again at the end of the
party, so pay close attention!
[11:04] ---
Give me a break. I'm
terrible at these things.
[11:10] ---
I really can't tell.
[11:12] ---
I kind of like him.
[11:14] ---
He'd totally be the bottom.
[11:16] ---
Nobody from Sasahara's year came, so why us?
[11:20] ---
Kugayama had work.
[11:22] ---
I'm sorry. I thought it would
be better to have guys here.
[11:25] ---
I had no luck with
Sasahara-san or the others.
[11:28] ---
I see.
[11:30] ---
Okay, off we go to President Ogiue's house!
[11:32] ---
We'll drink at her house!
[11:33] ---
What are you talking about? We were
going to go to a bar somewhere!
[11:37] ---
It'll be more fun this way,
and it's really close!
[11:40] ---
But Madarame-sempai's house
is five minutes on foot!
[11:43] ---
My house?
[11:44] ---
No, we should go to the
current president's house!
[11:46] ---
You should have at least warned me!
[11:47] ---
Hello there. I'm Sasahara.
[11:50] ---
I got these at a convienence store.
[11:52] ---
There's the editor!
[11:54] ---
So can you tell, Sasahara?
[11:56] ---
Well, it's not that hard.
[11:59] ---
Seriously?
[12:00] ---
You're out of time.
[12:04] ---
I don't know.
[12:06] ---
He's totally going to say it's me.
[12:08] ---
I like what I'm seeing!
[12:09] ---
[12:10] ---
Hello there.
[12:11] ---
What? Is it all otaku women this year?
[12:15] ---
Welcome, you two! Sorry for dragging you here.
[12:18] ---
Otaku women and rotten girls are different!
[12:21] ---
I'm sorry. I don't understand at all.
[12:23] ---
[12:24] ---
Hey, you're dressed like a girl.
[12:26] ---
Only one glance...
[12:27] ---
Way to go, Saki-san!
[12:28] ---
What are you talking about?
[12:29] ---
We were just having a quiz about that!
Madarame-san couldn't tell at all!
[12:33] ---
[12:34] ---
You haven't changed a bit.
You watch too much anime.
[12:40] ---
I can't really disagree.
[12:49] ---
Hey the--
[12:52] ---
Is this like a game where
I'm supposed to ignore her?
[12:55] ---
You may not know it, but you guessed right!
[12:58] ---
Jeez. Recruitment time is over.
[13:01] ---
Don't make her cosplay all the time.
[13:03] ---
No, we still don't know for sure.
[13:06] ---
There have been people in the
past who've joined and then quit.
[13:09] ---
And some people like you have
come from other circles.
[13:20] ---
So as president, we need you to do all
you can to make the three of them stay.
[13:26] ---
Hato-kun especially! Don't let her get away!
[13:29] ---
You just want to make her
cosplay, Ohno-sempai!
[13:33] ---
What's wrong, Sue?
[13:35] ---
My butt's cold.
[13:38] ---
I let you wear panties and
stockings, unlike the anime,
[13:42] ---
so it should be a little easier.
[13:44] ---
I'm not saying a word.
[13:46] ---
Then why not sit in a chair?
[13:48] ---
As president, she says...
[13:50] ---
But I'm not good with that stuff.
[13:53] ---
I knew that, and that's why I drew
a picture for our recruitment.
[13:58] ---
Yo.
[13:59] ---
Hey.
[14:00] ---
Hato-kun probably changes somewhere
before she comes to the circle.
[14:04] ---
I would imagine so.
[14:06] ---
I've never seen Hato-chan around campus.
[14:08] ---
And I only saw her wig off
for a second, and only once.
[14:11] ---
If she was dressed like a guy,
I'd never recognize her.
[14:14] ---
Well you can't go around dressed
like a girl at school all the time.
[14:17] ---
Yeah.
[14:18] ---
That's true.
[14:19] ---
What did you say?
[14:22] ---
I feel kind of betrayed. I was
looking for her every day.
[14:26] ---
But when I think that she might be changing
somewhere on campus even as we speak...
[14:33] ---
I'm going to go on a search,
[14:35] ---
and when I find what I'm looking for I
might attack it, but that's just who I am!
[14:39] ---
Wait!
[14:41] ---
He's horrible.
[14:43] ---
You don't think Hato-kun changes at home?
[14:45] ---
I think so too, but if she changes at
school there'll be big, big trouble.
[14:50] ---
Kuchiki-kun might actually do it!
Contact Hato-kun now! Right now!
[14:54] ---
[14:55] ---
He might actually do what?
[14:56] ---
You know her number, right?
[14:58] ---
I do, yes.
[14:59] ---
Is that what he's like?
[15:01] ---
It's your job as president to
protect Hato-kun's chastity.
[15:05] ---
What the heck?
[15:11] ---
Hello?
[15:13] ---
Is this Hato-kun? I'm sorry to bother
you. This is Ogiue from Genshiken.
[15:17] ---
Yes.
[15:18] ---
Do you have a minute?
[15:21] ---
Yes, I do.
[15:23] ---
Are you changing right now?
[15:26] ---
Yes, I am actually.
[15:28] ---
I'm sorry.
[15:29] ---
It's okay.
[15:30] ---
Um, by the way, are you at home right now?
[15:37] ---
Yes.
[15:37] ---
I see. I'm glad.
[15:40] ---
No, um...
[15:42] ---
Kuchiki-kun is wandering
the school looking for you.
[15:47] ---
It's kind of a shame.
[15:48] ---
Kuchiki-kun wouldn't work.
[15:52] ---
You heard her.
[15:53] ---
I'm glad, President. One of the members
of Genshiken was about to go to jail.
[15:58] ---
That was kind of thrilling!
That's our president for you!
[16:01] ---
What's our president? I'm not really sure.
[16:03] ---
But we didn't stop Kuchiki-sempai himself.
[16:06] ---
Isn't there still a chance he might
commit a crime as he searches for Hato?
[16:10] ---
I can't stop him.
[16:14] ---
Let's forget about it.
[16:17] ---
Anyway, didn't you guys get used to
Hato's cross-dressing awfully fast?
[16:21] ---
Did we?
[16:23] ---
To be honest, I'm still a little...
I mean a lot... bothered by it.
[16:30] ---
It's probably 'cause we saw Kousaka-san.
[16:35] ---
That guy we met? He crossdresses?
[16:37] ---
Yeah.
[16:38] ---
He did once, and unlike Hato-kun he didn't
put any effort into it but he was perfect!
[16:44] ---
It's not fair.
[16:45] ---
I'd love to see that!
[16:47] ---
And Saki-san cosplays too.
[16:50] ---
She does?
[16:52] ---
Of course, so does Ogiue-san!
[16:55] ---
What?
[16:55] ---
Don't say that!
[16:57] ---
Tanaka-san and Madarame-san and
Kugayama-san were all big otaku too.
[17:02] ---
Kuchiki-kun and Ogiue-san were
dropouts from other circles too.
[17:06] ---
There's lots of weirdos in Genshiken.
[17:09] ---
So a Hato-kun or two isn't that bad.
[17:12] ---
I see.
[17:13] ---
If you say that, it might scare
off the new circle members!
[17:16] ---
I'm sorry.
[17:19] ---
What is it, Sue?
[17:20] ---
It's time for the 500th...
[17:23] ---
"Does Hato-kun have a dong
in his heart?" meeting!
[17:26] ---
His heart?
[17:27] ---
Like, does he really believe in his dong?
[17:28] ---
Sue's just as bad.
[17:29] ---
Ignore her.
[17:30] ---
Then let's talk about which Warring
States general was the most attractive!
[17:33] ---
I'm going to the bathroom.
[17:39] ---
I think everybody's starting to settle in,
but I guess we've got a long way to go.
[17:44] ---
Yoshitake-san is always so hyper.
[17:46] ---
Unlike Kuchiki-sempai, she
has some sense though.
[17:50] ---
Yajima-san's a little hard-headed.
[17:52] ---
But she also seems a lot calmer than I am.
[17:56] ---
Ignoring Sue, the exchange student...
[17:59] ---
And I guess that leaves Hato-kun?
There's a lot I don't know about her.
[18:04] ---
Hello, Hato-kun.
[18:07] ---
Hello there...
[18:10] ---
You just said you were changing at home.
[18:18] ---
Hato-kun, you're not...
[18:26] ---
No, wait! Hato-kun!
[18:30] ---
She's fast!
[18:31] ---
If I lose her here she may stop cross-dressing,
and never come back to Genshiken!
[18:38] ---
Stop her, Kuchiki-sempai!
[18:55] ---
I'm sorry, Kuchiki-sempai! I did judo until
middle school, so it was just instinct!
[19:00] ---
I'm sorry!
[19:02] ---
She can protect her own chastity.
[19:05] ---
So it's time for the first,
"Hato-chan that's a crime," meeting!
[19:11] ---
It really is, Hato-kun.
[19:14] ---
I know.
[19:14] ---
A cosplayer should never
change in the toilet anyway.
[19:18] ---
Is that the issue?
[19:19] ---
And if you do it in the girls' bathroom,
the police would have to get involved!
[19:23] ---
I know.
[19:24] ---
I figured if I was careful when I went in
the girl's bathroom, that would be better.
[19:29] ---
When you leave the boys' bathroom you
don't know what it'll be like outside.
[19:32] ---
That's not the issue.
Can't you change at home?
[19:36] ---
I did at first, but it's thirty minutes
away, so it'd be an hour-long trip.
[19:41] ---
And if you add in the time it takes
to put on makeup and get dressed,
[19:44] ---
I'd be really late to the circle sometimes.
[19:48] ---
You could just change here. We can
wait outside a little, right?
[19:53] ---
Of course we could. Sue
does her cosplay here.
[19:56] ---
I don't want you guys
to think of me as a man.
[20:02] ---
I think we're past that point.
[20:06] ---
Why don't you just come dressed as a guy?
[20:10] ---
This is only a problem 'cause
you're dressing like a girl.
[20:13] ---
I don't know if I'm quite sure
about a rotten guy, but...
[20:17] ---
Wouldn't it be easier for both of
us to get used to things that way?
[20:26] ---
You don't understand anything.
[20:28] ---
Kuchiki-sempai?
[20:30] ---
You cannot accept the miracle
you see before your very eyes.
[20:34] ---
I shall tell you then, fool.
[20:37] ---
Listen.
[20:39] ---
"Someone this cute..."
[20:41] ---
Don't say "couldn't possibly
be a girl," please.
[20:47] ---
If I could've said those words,
I could've gone on to heaven.
[20:51] ---
Go to the afterlife right now, please.
[20:53] ---
It doesn't end, does it?
[20:54] ---
I don't mind it though.
[20:56] ---
What should we do, Ogiue-san? We may
just have to have her change at home.
[21:02] ---
There's a place she can change.
[21:08] ---
Let's go, Hato.
[21:10] ---
Yeah!
[21:15] ---
Wha--
[21:18] ---
Huh?
[21:20] ---
Thank you!
[21:21] ---
It's fine...
[21:22] ---
Way to go, Hato-chan! You got a spare key!
[21:25] ---
Is this circle really gonna be okay?
SIGN Next Episode Preview
[23:10] ---
It feels like every anime
lately is a second season.
[23:13] ---
Well, our title is "Second Generation",
but this is actually season three!
[23:16] ---
We're back for more!
[23:18] ---
Are we allowed to talk about that on the air?
[23:21] ---
We can if it's the preview, usually.
[23:23] ---
There were OVAs too, so you could
technically call it season four!
[23:27] ---
I'll talk to the manga author later.
[23:30] ---
I can see him smirking outside the studio.
[23:33] ---
We'll wipe that smirk off his face!
[23:36] ---

[00:07] ---
Well, you see...
[00:09] ---
I want to make a short pamphlet that
introduces the members of the club.
[00:14] ---
What do you mean?
[00:16] ---
Something about half this size.
[00:20] ---
I'd like you all to write a profile,
and if you can, submit a drawing.
[00:25] ---
We'll make copies and give them
to all the members of Genshiken.
[00:29] ---
I know you guys already
know each other, but...
[00:33] ---
I see! In other words, you
want to bring back Mebaetame!
[00:38] ---
Mebaetame?
[00:40] ---
No, nothing that big.
[00:43] ---
Genshiken's club magazine! I don't think
we've made one for a long time, though.

It sounds like you, anyway.
[02:38] ---
I see. Then in my case...
[02:42] ---
Of course, I draw everything from
originals to copyrighted characters.
[02:45] ---
I think "Lord and Servant" and "Over
Fifty” yaoi has roots in historical novels.
[02:51] ---
Ikegami Shouichiro is a personal favorite,
especially his Tale of Sanada.
[02:56] ---
Okay. I think you should write about that.
[03:00] ---
I'm looking forward to
seeing yours, Yajima-san.
[03:02] ---
Why?
[03:03] ---
Um, well... you look like
you'd be a good artist.
[03:06] ---
Don't judge me like that.
[03:07] ---
I'm sorry.
[03:09] ---
But didn't you say you drew when you joined?
[03:15] ---
I said I drew. I didn't say I drew well.
[03:18] ---
So I'll make it clear now: I suck.
[03:22] ---
Of course, that doesn't matter.
[03:25] ---
I'll set the deadline
for, oh, a week from now.
[03:29] ---
When you're done, give it to me.
[03:31] ---
Okay!
[03:35] ---
U-Um... I'm sorry.
[03:38] ---
No, don't worry. I'm glad I got it out there.
I wouldn't want people expecting anything.
[03:43] ---
Okay.
[03:44] ---
Yajimacchi! Yajimacchi!
[03:46] ---
Can I go to your place today?
[03:49] ---
We can draw ours together!
[03:53] ---
Cross Over My Legs.
[03:58] ---
This'll do, I guess.
[04:01] ---
That's a bit much. Why do you need so much?
[04:04] ---
I eat a lot, even though I'm thin.
[04:06] ---
I don't care! Are you making fun of me?
[04:08] ---
Hato-chan, anything else you want?
[04:11] ---
No.
[04:12] ---
But, well... can I really come too?
[04:16] ---
Sure! We're all in the same
circle, so let's get along!
[04:21] ---
It's my house, though.
[04:22] ---
I wish Sue-san could've come.
[04:25] ---
She refused.
[04:32] ---
Found one!
[04:33] ---
Right, right. Of course you did.
[04:37] ---
I see. So you're into Champ manga
series and collect doujinshi for them.
[04:42] ---
Well, it's had a big effect on my life.
[04:45] ---
Is this desk where you draw?
[04:48] ---
Well, not just that.
[04:50] ---
But I haven't opened all the boxes yet.
[04:53] ---
I never thought I'd have a man
in here right after I moved in.
[04:59] ---
I never even imagined it.
[05:01] ---
Okay, time for some girl talk!
[05:05] ---
What about our profiles?
[05:07] ---
We can do that some other time.
[05:09] ---
Let's hear about how much you love Champ.
[05:12] ---
So in Two Piece, are you into Zora x Yon?
[05:15] ---
No, I normally like Ukki on top with
anybody... wait, what are we talking about?
[05:19] ---
Rotten girl talk!
[05:21] ---
So let's have a toast!
[05:23] ---
Cheers.
[05:24] ---
Cheers.
[05:28] ---
Come on! It's not like you'll lose anything.
[05:31] ---
No, I've got my pantyhose on.
[05:33] ---
Just take them off in the bathroom!
I just want to touch you a little!
[05:37] ---
But...
[05:39] ---
Just think to yourself that we're all women,
and there's nothing weird about it at all!
[05:42] ---
It's important to get to
know each other better!
[06:00] ---
What's going on here?
[06:03] ---
I think I actually ended up having fun.
[06:07] ---
She looks like she's had
more fun than anything.
[06:11] ---
And of course, we didn't write anything.
Why we even came here, I don't know.
[06:18] ---
Oh well. It's nice to have another
friend who's a rotten girl.
[06:28] ---
No, wait! That's no girl!
[06:32] ---
But that was a girl's voice
I heard when she was sleeping.
[06:36] ---
No, no! I just forgot, and that's a guy!
[06:41] ---
Oh no. I was sleeping next to a guy!
[06:47] ---
Just wait. In the morning,
she'll need a shave.
[06:52] ---
Wait, she said she plucked them.
[07:00] ---
How soft and supple!
[07:03] ---
I couldn't feel any pores at all!
Did she use the Smooth-Smooth Fruit?
[07:13] ---
It's smooth! She ate
the Smooth-Smooth Fruit!
[07:16] ---
Shut up.
[07:17] ---
You should touch her too, Yajimacchi.
[07:25] ---
No way in hell!
[07:36] ---
Why is it so different?
[07:38] ---
Well, I do it every morning and every night.
[07:42] ---
I wash my face with facial lotion,
beauty lotion, and milk lotion.
[07:45] ---
You need to do it every single
day, or it doesn't work.
[07:48] ---
I never do anything for my skin!
And I almost never wear makeup!
[07:51] ---
I pluck out the hair when I bathe.
[07:54] ---
I work up a lather on my whole
body, then I use an epilator.
[07:57] ---
But it really hurts in some places, doesn't it?
Especially the bikini area.
[08:02] ---
I only ever shave my armpits for summer!
[08:06] ---
Oh no!
[08:08] ---
I always thought since I was
an otaku, it didn't matter!
[08:12] ---
But because of her, something
is falling apart inside of me!
[08:18] ---
No. Maybe she's actually a girl!
[08:23] ---
She'd have to be! "Someone this cute can't
be a girl!" only happens in H-games.
[08:27] ---
It doesn't matter what Kuchiki-sempai says,
there's no such things as miracles!
[08:32] ---
That wig, that male voice...
those were both fake!
[08:35] ---
She's just someone who's getting
off to a weird start in college!
[08:38] ---
I'm just looking. If she's
a man she won't care,
[08:42] ---
and if she's a girl then there's
really no problem at all!
[08:45] ---
Wait. If she really is a guy, then
aren't I totally pathetic?
[08:50] ---
I need to see. I just
need to take a quick look!
[08:55] ---
What are you doing, Yajimacchi?
[09:00] ---
Nothing, really.
[09:02] ---
You're flipping up the skirt of a rotten
boy? How much of a pervert are you?
[09:07] ---
Well, you see... I wanted to
know if she was really a guy.
[09:11] ---
I know how you feel.
[09:13] ---
But you need to wake me up before
you do something fun like this!
[09:27] ---
Hello.
[09:30] ---
You're early today.
[09:33] ---
Yes. My lecture ended early.
[09:36] ---
So I went to Madarame-sempai's room early.
[09:39] ---
I see.
[09:44] ---
Hmph! Hmph!
[09:45] ---
I'm so sorry!
[09:45] ---
Hello there.
[09:47] ---
Hi there.
[09:48] ---
Hello.
[09:49] ---
Do you really understand?
[09:51] ---
I'm really sorry. I just
totally forgot about you!
[09:55] ---
I'll redo the layout later!
[09:57] ---
Ogiue-san, that doesn't help.
[10:00] ---
Hmph!
[10:02] ---
Um, this is my profile for the magazine.
[10:05] ---
Okay, thanks.
[10:07] ---
Here's mine.
[10:10] ---
Okay.
[10:13] ---
That's really something.

[10:20] ---
How far are you trying to go?
[10:38] ---
What's wrong? You look uneasy.
[10:41] ---
I do not--
[10:45] ---
Hello? Thanks for calling.
[10:48] ---
Yes.
[10:50] ---
Yes. Thank you! Yes. Yes.
[10:55] ---
Yes. All right. Thank you again.
[11:01] ---
Ogiue-san?
[11:03] ---
Well, actually...
[11:06] ---
The editor accepted my one-shot manga.
[11:11] ---
Does that mean you're
going to be in a magazine?
[11:15] ---
Yes.
[11:16] ---
Congratulations!
[11:18] ---
Wow.
[11:20] ---
Thank you.
[11:22] ---
I don't know how many times we fought...
[11:24] ---
You and Sasahara-san, right?
[11:26] ---
Why don't you give him a call?
[11:29] ---
No, he's at work. I'll just send him a text.
[11:34] ---
Some people here really can get
published. College is so amazing.
[11:39] ---
What a great response!
[11:42] ---
Yeah, thank you. Thanks for your help.
[11:47] ---
They'll run part one in the September
edition and part two in October.
[11:51] ---
The deadlines are 7/12 and 8/12.
[11:56] ---
August?
[12:00] ---
Yes. I didn't realize until I said it.
[12:04] ---
I don't know if we made it or not,
[12:07] ---
but that's right before
Comic Festival, isn't it?
[12:11] ---
W-What did you say? All the new
kids went to Ogichin's room?
[12:16] ---
Yes. They're going to help
Ogiue as her assistants.
[12:20] ---
They said they needed to move the schedule
way up, or they wouldn't make it.
[12:24] ---
Oh no! She'll steal my harem!
[12:26] ---
Don't you dare go.
[12:28] ---
Anyway, Kuchiki-kun, are
you looking for a job?
[12:31] ---
Oh.
[12:32] ---
My dad's gonna get me a job at
a local bank, it looks like.
[12:38] ---
Oh no! Why don't you worry about
yourself instead of someone else?
[12:42] ---
You're not trying to take advantage of
your skills as someone who's lived overseas.
[12:46] ---
I really want to kill you right now.
[12:48] ---
I'm, well, you know... Tanaka-san
will pay for everything I need.
[12:53] ---
Speaking of killing people, I think Tanaka
would want to kill you for saying that.
[12:57] ---
Anyway, there's still lots of fun to be had.
[13:02] ---
First, take care of the borders for this.
[13:07] ---
Even if she's new, this is pro level work!
[13:13] ---
I lose at having clear skin.
I lose at drawing stuff...
[13:17] ---
But I can win at straight lines!
[13:23] ---
I'm sorry. I failed on my first try.
[13:27] ---
I'll fix it. Don't worry. Show it to me.
[13:35] ---
Yajimacchi! You're not coming to help today?
[13:40] ---
Nope. I don't think I'm helping when I go.
[13:44] ---
Really?
[13:46] ---
Sempai was saying it would even help
to have somebody do the erasing.
[13:50] ---
It takes a lot of strength.
Anyway, Hato is just too perfect!
[13:56] ---
She's got her drawing backgrounds already!
[13:59] ---
She's cute, kind, good at
judo, and she can draw.
[14:03] ---
It's not fair.
[14:05] ---
She just makes me feel terrible.
[14:09] ---
She has a dong, though.
[14:11] ---
Well, that's not fair, either.
[14:14] ---
You saw it that one time, didn't
you? How was it? Huge?
[14:18] ---
I told you I didn't see it!
[14:20] ---
You're lying! I flipped it up
really hard! You had to see it!
[14:24] ---
I looked away! I didn't see anything!
[14:27] ---
Hey there. What circle are you guys with?
[14:30] ---
Um...
[14:32] ---
Genshiken, why?
[14:33] ---
Then is the girl with the long brown
hair I see with you in the same circle?
[14:38] ---
What's her name?
[14:41] ---
My name?
[14:43] ---
Who are you?
[14:44] ---
It's me, Hato.
[14:46] ---
The long wig gets in the way, so I switch
it with a short one when I'm drawing.
[14:51] ---
Shall we take a break?
[14:53] ---
So anyway, people are talking about you.
[14:58] ---
A mysterious beautiful girl who only
appears in the circle wing after school.
[15:02] ---
I said you were in a different circle and I
didn't know your name, but he was persistent.
[15:07] ---
Yabusaki-sempai from the Manga Research Club
happened to be passing by, and she drove him off.
[15:12] ---
Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?
[15:15] ---
I'm sorry for causing you trouble.
[15:18] ---
No. It's nothing you need to apologize for.
[15:21] ---
I'll send a message thanking
her-- Wow, that was fast.
[15:24] ---
I guess you could change
your wig like that, though.
[15:27] ---
Or maybe go for plainer clothes and makeup.
[15:30] ---
I could, yes. I just always
put a lot of effort into it.
[15:34] ---
If I don't, I don't feel
like I can be a girl.
[15:37] ---
Really? You could pass
for one without makeup.
[15:40] ---
You could just stop cross-dressing.
[15:46] ---
I hate to keep repeating it.
[15:50] ---
But if you didn't dress like that, men
wouldn't pay any attention to you, right?
[15:56] ---
Well, that's true...
[15:58] ---
Listen, why are you so obsessed
with cross-dressing, anyway?
[16:02] ---
Ohno-sempai seemed fine with
it, but I don't get it.
[16:07] ---
Would you put it in terms
that even I could understand?
[16:11] ---
Kuchiki-sempai's not here today.
[16:14] ---
Well... you're right.
[16:17] ---
I dress this way to come to Genshiken.
[16:20] ---
And I've only been doing
it for about six months.
[16:24] ---
Well... to put it simply...
[16:28] ---
In high school, when I came out
and said I really enjoyed BL,
[16:34] ---
things were pretty rough for me.
[16:37] ---
Pretty rough?
[16:39] ---
My school didn't have a Manga Club.
[16:41] ---
The Art Club was what we had,
so that's what I joined.
[16:46] ---
I never told anybody I liked BL.
[16:50] ---
But I wanted to talk with friends
who shared the same interests.
[16:54] ---
So I talked to the rotten
girls in the club.
[16:55] ---
I'm sorry! That's enough.
[16:58] ---
I'm sorry, really. Maybe
I shouldn't have said that.
[17:01] ---
I mean, I shouldn't have
said that. I'm sorry.
[17:04] ---
It's fine.
[17:05] ---
I'm sorry, Ogiue-sempai. I ruined
the mood. I'm really sorry.
[17:10] ---
No, no... anyway, I guess that's enough.
[17:14] ---
Let's get back to work.
[17:17] ---
I'm going to clean up.
[17:22] ---
I'm a horrible person.
[17:25] ---
I got jealous and complained, and tried to
make her say something she didn't want to say.
[17:30] ---
Basically, she was bullied, right?
[17:34] ---
If her life was made miserable because of
her interests, of course she cross-dresses.
[17:39] ---
Wait, Hato. Sorry, I'm not done.
[17:44] ---
We know you're into boy's love.
[17:48] ---
So we won't hassle you for
it. We won't do anything.
[17:53] ---
So you don't need to force
yourself to dress like that.
[17:56] ---
Yeah... you're right.
[18:01] ---
Huh? That's it?
[18:03] ---
Yajimacchi, why don't you get it?
[18:07] ---
Get what?
[18:08] ---
Why doesn't she stop dressing like a girl?
[18:13] ---
Because she likes it!
[18:15] ---
Every guy wants to be a girl at least once!
[18:18] ---
Gender-bending is all the rage these days!
[18:21] ---
Huh?
[18:21] ---
Especially since she's such a
cute girl... she can't stop now!
[18:27] ---
Trauma won't keep you
doing something forever.
[18:30] ---
Really?
[18:33] ---
Well, um... it wasn't like that at first.
[18:38] ---
But I think that's part of it now.
[18:42] ---
It's not something I've always
wanted to do. Really!
[18:46] ---
Then why not stop right now!
[18:48] ---
Do you realize how many problems your
beauty causes for the people around you?
[18:52] ---
I'm not beautiful!
[18:54] ---
Don't deny it! That makes it worse!
[18:55] ---
No problem. Everything's fine.
[18:57] ---
Wait! That's... that's not all!
[19:02] ---
What?
[19:03] ---
It's not just that it's fun,
or that I was bullied.
[19:08] ---
Since I started crossdressing,
[19:10] ---
I was able to see myself and
my situation from the outside.
[19:15] ---
That sounds interesting.
[19:18] ---
Like... I got the key to
Madarame-sempai's house, right?
[19:24] ---
Imagine a boy getting the key to his sempai's
room, so he can use it to dress like a girl.
[19:29] ---
When you look at that
situation, it's basically...
[19:33] ---
Hato x Mada, right?
[19:38] ---
Let's get to work. Sempai, which
one did you want me to erase?
[19:42] ---
Oh, here.
[19:44] ---
W-Why?
[19:45] ---
Shut up. You're not ever gonna
stop cross-dressing, are you?
[19:53] ---
See you later, guys!
[19:55] ---
Bye.
[19:56] ---
Thanks again.
[20:00] ---
Hato-chan's amazing. She
says she's gonna keep at it.
[20:03] ---
Well, Susie's never leaving Sempai's
side. Nothing weird will happen.
[20:11] ---
What?
[20:12] ---
Yajimacchi, Hato-chan is always
going to be a guy to you, isn't she?
[20:17] ---
Maybe, yeah.
[20:20] ---
She totally looks like a girl.
[20:24] ---
But for some reason, I just see her as a guy.
[20:28] ---
Why, I wonder?
[20:29] ---
Isn't it because...
[20:31] ---
The contents of her skirt
are seared into your memory?
[20:35] ---
You're still talking about that?
[20:37] ---
Now tell me!
[20:38] ---
I didn't see!
[20:40] ---
Don't lie to me!
[20:42] ---
You're leaving already?
[20:44] ---
Ohno-sempai?
[20:46] ---
I had to fit it in with Tanaka-san and
Kugayama-san's schedules, so it took a long time,
[20:51] ---
but we're ready for cosplay.
[20:55] ---
Ogiue-san's place has two rooms,
so it's perfect for changing.
[21:01] ---
I was waiting for everybody to be here!
[21:03] ---
He joined the same year me and Madarame did.
[21:07] ---
I'm Kugayama. Hi.
[21:10] ---
Hello there.
[21:11] ---
Come on, Ogiue-san! It's time
for after-school cosplay!
[21:15] ---
I'm working!
[21:19] ---
Sempai?
[21:21] ---
Even if she's nicer now, I
still thought this would happen.
[21:25] ---
We were right to not start moving the boxes.

[23:10] ---
So you did see up
Hato-chan's skirt, Yajimacchi!
[23:14] ---
I said I didn't!
[23:17] ---
We've got the video footage!
[23:19] ---
It shows the skirt flying up, and
your reaction when you saw it!
[23:22] ---
What are you talking about?
[23:23] ---
Now what was it? White? Black?
Lace? G-string? Bloomers?
[23:27] ---
Or was it everybody's favorite, striped?
[23:30] ---
Shut up! It was more normal.
[23:32] ---
So you did see!

[00:04] ---
My name is Madarame Harunobu.
[00:07] ---
I graduated Shiiiou University
with a major in economics.
[00:09] ---
Now I'm a salaryman who works for
a sewer construction company.
[00:15] ---
When I was a student, I loved being an otaku.
[00:19] ---
I'd sworn to stay one my whole life, but...
[00:26] ---
You know... being an adult is exhausting.
[00:42] ---
Huh?
[00:43] ---
It's all clean. And I can see the floor.
[00:46] ---
Did Hato-kun do this? That was nice of her.
[00:51] ---
Or was it just too dirty for her to handle.
[00:55] ---
The games and books are sorted perfectly.
[01:05] ---
It's safe.
[02:47] ---
The club room feels kind of different now.
[02:52] ---
I guess that can't be helped.
It's mostly girls now.
[02:56] ---
Back then...
[03:02] ---
And then...
[03:14] ---
Um...
[03:17] ---
Watanabe?
[03:17] ---
Madarame!
[03:18] ---
Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap! That scared me.
[03:22] ---
How could I confuse those two?
[03:23] ---
There's only one person here?
[03:26] ---
Yeah.
[03:27] ---
What? I wanted to see the new girls.
[03:30] ---
Huh?
[03:31] ---
What? I, Sasahara Keiko,
am a member of Genshiken too.
[03:36] ---
I'm former president Sasahara's little sister,
and the president's future sister-in-law.
[03:41] ---
Isn't that a great position to be in?
[03:43] ---
Even if it's kind of weird that the
last two presidents are dating.
[03:47] ---
Sasahara was the president two generations
ago. The last one was Ohno-san.
[03:52] ---
Come back in the evening.
Not many people come during the day.
[03:55] ---
And it's in the evening when the
really interesting girl comes.
[03:58] ---
What's she like?
[03:59] ---
Huh?
[04:03] ---
Daydream Believer
[04:05] ---
It doesn't matter.
It's just Genshiken, right?
[04:08] ---
I just happened to get up early because
I had yesterday off from work.
[04:12] ---
Work?
[04:13] ---
I'm a cabaret girl in Hachiouji.
[04:16] ---
Ask for me sometime.
SIGN Kyouko
[04:21] ---
What?
[04:22] ---
Um, I don't go to those places anyway.
[04:25] ---
Jeez, she really doesn't belong here!
[04:28] ---
Anyway...
[04:30] ---
It's boring now that Kousaka
and Saki-neesan have graduated.
[04:34] ---
Do they ever come?
[04:36] ---
I saw them a little at the welcome party,
[04:39] ---
but they never come to the club room.
[04:42] ---
I see. If Saki-neesan doesn't come,
then why do you, Watanabe?
[04:46] ---
What do you do?
[04:48] ---
It's Madarame.
[04:55] ---
What are you talking about?
[04:58] ---
It doesn't matter to me that
Kasukabe-san doesn't come anymore.
[05:01] ---
That's what you say, after that long pause?
[05:04] ---
No point in hiding it now, is there?
You liked Saki-neesan.
[05:11] ---
I don't understand.
What are you talking about?
[05:16] ---
Listen, it was obvious!
[05:18] ---
Completely obvious!
[05:20] ---
Seriously, I can't believe you
thought no one could tell.
[05:23] ---
Onee-chan and Ohno-chan
were saying the same thing.
[05:26] ---
Which means her boyfriend knows too!
[05:29] ---
And my brother and that guy with the topknot!
[05:32] ---
And I haven't asked, but I'm
sure Saki-neesan noticed it too.
[05:44] ---
I... I have no idea what
you're talking about!
[05:47] ---
Man you piss me off!
[05:50] ---
Can otaku not even talk about romance?
[05:52] ---
Romance? I've never had any
romance in my entire life!
[05:56] ---
It's been otaku talk for me my entire life!
I'm a natural born otaku!
[05:59] ---
So in other words you have no
friends? I see! Sorry for asking!
[06:03] ---
Shut up! Go back to your cabaret
and let some old man feel you up!
[06:06] ---
You idiot! A cabaret isn't a brothel!
Do you not even know the difference?
[06:14] ---
Would you two just stay
like that for a second?
[06:18] ---
I'll go to the store and get an awl,
a penknife, and a pot lid--
[06:22] ---
No one's gonna get that. Don't force it.
[06:24] ---
A foreigner?
[06:26] ---
One of the new kids. Susanna Hopkins.
[06:29] ---
Huh... forget it, I'm tired. Later.
[06:32] ---
Yeah, get outta here.
[06:35] ---
You haven't given up, have you?
[06:38] ---
That's why you're still wasting
your life in this room.
[06:44] ---
Right.
[06:45] ---
Try asking somebody out in
real life for once, otaku.
[06:53] ---
A-Anyway, I have to get to work...
[06:57] ---
There's a way to move forward without
giving up on your last love.
[07:03] ---
Huh?
[07:04] ---
Find a new love.
[07:10] ---
Funz!
[07:11] ---
No, I don't think I'm going
to get into that stuff.
[07:14] ---
Hey there! Oh, Sue-san's here.
[07:16] ---
Yo.
[07:17] ---
Hello there, Madarame-sempai.
[07:19] ---
Hi there. Uh, you're just arriving now?
[07:23] ---
Isn't your lunch break going to end soon?
[07:24] ---
We've got the afternoon off, so I was
thinking of taking the freshmen to Ikebukuro.
[07:30] ---
Hato-chan especially was excited.
[07:32] ---
"I'll go change right now," she said.
She's probably changing at your place.
[07:37] ---
She's never been to Otome Road, she says.
[07:40] ---
I see. Anyway, I'm heading back to work.
[07:43] ---
Bye!
[07:45] ---
Bye.
[08:02] ---
So all the freshmen went?
[08:05] ---
Supposedly.
[08:06] ---
I guess working as assistants helped.
[08:09] ---
Huh?
[08:09] ---
Working together toward a goal
makes you feel more like a team.
[08:15] ---
I'm very grateful, myself.
[08:17] ---
You staying on schedule?
[08:19] ---
Yeah, thanks to you guys.
[08:20] ---
Once a bit more of the draft is ready,
I'll need some more of your help.
[08:25] ---
Sounds good to me!
[08:32] ---
Huh?
[08:34] ---
Did I forget to turn the lights off?
Or is that Hato-kun...?
[08:40] ---
She's never been here at this hour.
[08:47] ---
I'm sorry. I just came to get my stuff.
[08:54] ---
Um, well... we went to Ikebukuro today.
[08:57] ---
And I couldn't get a bag ready for
all the stuff I was planning to buy,
[09:02] ---
So I left my clothes and makeup here
and took my changing bag with me,
[09:07] ---
And I came back to pick up my things,
[09:09] ---
but I couldn't control myself,
so I read a doujinshi...
[09:11] ---
It was one I really wanted and it was short,
so I thought it wouldn't take long, but...
[09:18] ---
Was Ikebukuro fun?
[09:25] ---
Yes. Very.
[09:27] ---
That's good. You can come
here whenever you like.
[09:32] ---
You were the one who cleaned my
room up, right? I can't complain.
[09:36] ---
I'm sorry for not asking first.
[09:38] ---
You're nice enough to let me use it all the time,
so I thought it was the least I could do.
[09:42] ---
Don't worry about it.
[09:44] ---
Wow, you did buy a lot.
[09:47] ---
I'll get it out of here right now!
[09:48] ---
Can you carry it all?
[09:49] ---
I'll be fine!
[09:52] ---
Okay!
[09:53] ---
Want to have something to drink first?
[09:58] ---
I haven't had enough yet,
so I bought some beer.
[10:06] ---
Um...
[10:08] ---
I'm sorry, I want to read these
as soon as physically possible!
[10:11] ---
Sorry. Of course you do. Of course...
[10:16] ---
Good night!
[10:17] ---
Take care.
[10:27] ---
What was I doing just now?!
[10:33] ---
It smells kind of good now...
[10:51] ---
So that's how you finished your last draft?
[10:55] ---
With a ton of assistants.
[10:57] ---
Just like a professional.
An asshole professional!
[10:59] ---
I am a professional, I guess...
[11:01] ---
And I paid them too, so I don't
see why you're complaining.
[11:07] ---
So when's it coming out?
[11:09] ---
At the end of the month.
[11:12] ---
It doesn't matter!
[11:15] ---
What about the draft for Comic Festival?
[11:17] ---
If you miss the deadline 'cause you have to
finish your pro work, I'm gonna be really mad!
[11:21] ---
We stopped work on Yabuhebi and helped you
[11:24] ---
'cause you said you were going to make a
book to celebrate Fullmetal Sorcerer finishing!
[11:27] ---
I never asked for your help, though.
[11:29] ---
What was that?
[11:31] ---
A-As your partner, I need you to do your job!
[11:34] ---
Partner? Since when?
[11:41] ---
Well, I don't even have a draft ready for
Comic Festival, so I know why you're worried.
[11:46] ---
But once summer break comes I can
spend all day on it. It'll be fine.
[11:51] ---
If you absolutely insist, I could help you.
[11:54] ---
I can't hear you, sempai!
[11:57] ---
It's tsundere time!
[11:58] ---
Get lost, you two!
[12:01] ---
The freshmen are more of
a help than I thought.
[12:06] ---
The freshmen?
[12:07] ---
Yeah, Hato-kun especially.
[12:10] ---
It's hot...
[12:12] ---
Did Genshiken pick up another dude?
[12:15] ---
Sorry, I got that wrong. Hato-san.
[12:19] ---
And this weighs a ton...
[12:22] ---
I wonder if I could just leave the makeup
in Madarame-sempai's room..
[12:26] ---
No, I can't take advantage of him any more.
[12:39] ---
That's right. It's better
to be slightly hesitant.
[12:42] ---
Like you just can't get used to it.
[12:45] ---
Look at this from the outside.
It's totally Hato x Mada!
[12:50] ---
But what am I, exactly?
[12:53] ---
A geppledonger? Your second self?
[12:55] ---
A spiritual entity?
A figment of your imagination?
[12:58] ---
Your Stand? Or your tokatonton?
[13:07] ---
Sempai gave me permission
to use the air conditioner.
[13:10] ---
Otherwise I'd be too sweaty
to change or put on makeup.
[13:15] ---
He never cleans up his room! Silly sempai.
[13:20] ---
"Silly sempai!" I said!
[13:23] ---
After this I'll say,
"Sempai couldn't survive without my help."
[13:27] ---
You need to help out your sempai!
[13:29] ---
It's good when the younger one is on top!
SIGN High School Girls Out of Control
[13:34] ---
Oh sempai, put your doujinshi away!
[13:37] ---
And you didn't wash the dishes...
[13:40] ---
Oh my, Madarame-sempai!
[13:42] ---
But this carelessness and vulnerability
makes him an ideal bottom!
[13:49] ---
I guess using his shower
is taking it a bit too far.
[13:51] ---
The shower?
[13:53] ---
What kind of flag is that going to trigger?
[13:55] ---
If there's no special event where he
comes home while I'm in the shower,
[13:59] ---
the player will be pissed!
[14:03] ---
It's cool.
[14:20] ---
Good job me! I want to
pat myself on the back!
[14:23] ---
I know what happens now!
[14:25] ---
I fall asleep, surrounded by his scent,
and then he finds me when he gets home.
[14:29] ---
And then only two things can happen!
One: He makes his move while I'm asleep!
[14:33] ---
Two: I pretend to be asleep and jump him!
[14:36] ---
And since it's Hato x Mada,
the choice must be...
[14:40] ---
Kissy-kissy rub-rub!
[14:45] ---
Hato-kun?
[14:48] ---
Hato-kun! Hato-kun!
[14:51] ---
Huh?
[14:52] ---
Good morning. Or good evening.
[14:56] ---
Did you fall asleep?
[15:01] ---
I'll leave right away! I'm sorry!
[15:02] ---
You don't have to rush...
[15:04] ---
Huh? Did I really fall asleep?
[15:07] ---
I laid down just a second ago... Was I dreaming?
When did it start? Am I dreaming now?
[15:14] ---
Hato-kun?
[15:16] ---
Calm down, Hato-kun.
I don't think you're awake yet.
[15:20] ---
Y-Yeah...
[15:33] ---
This beer is great. So good!
[15:35] ---
No, um... this is really good too.
[15:39] ---
Glad to hear it. That's shrimp,
ham, and cherry tomato pasta.
[15:44] ---
Sometimes when you live alone you
want to make something decent.
[15:47] ---
What is this strange sense of defeat?
[15:51] ---
He can't be good at this! Character-wise
it should be the reverse! And I can't cook!
[15:56] ---
He lets somebody like me into his
room, and even cooks for me...
[16:00] ---
What is he thinking?
[16:03] ---
Wait a second... could it be Mada x Hato?
[16:07] ---
Well, you know. I need to make friends
with the only guy left in the club right now.
[16:12] ---
It's hard to hang out in the club room,
with all the girls there now.
[16:16] ---
Oh, but I'm a girl when I'm there.
[16:19] ---
That's true, yeah.
[16:22] ---
Maybe I've read too much BL.
[16:24] ---
Actually, I've never met you
when you're a guy before.
[16:28] ---
It's Hato-kun, right?
[16:30] ---
Sure, I'm Hato.
[16:33] ---
Just a second.
[16:38] ---
Hello, Madarame-san.
[16:41] ---
That scared me! You really do change.
[16:45] ---
You sounded like Noumi Yamiko.
[16:47] ---
I liked it when you said my name.
[16:48] ---
No, my voice isn't that nice.
[16:51] ---
I think anybody could do it
if they put the effort in.
[16:53] ---
I learned from books and the internet.
[16:56] ---
The internet? I mean, sure... but
it still takes a lot of time right?
[17:01] ---
It took me about three months.
[17:03] ---
I don't have that kind of energy.
[17:06] ---
He treates me like I'm normal,
whether I'm a girl or a guy.
[17:12] ---
If you're that good, you can fit in with
all the girls at Genshiken perfectly right?
[17:17] ---
Oh, I don't know.
[17:19] ---
Yajima-san's pretty persistent
about telling me to stop.
[17:22] ---
Is she?
[17:24] ---
Yeah. She wants me to go as a guy.
I can understand why, I guess.
[17:29] ---
It must be a little creepy.
[17:35] ---
I'd like to make something clear, I guess.
[17:39] ---
What?
[17:41] ---
It's not that I'm into other guys...
[17:50] ---
Aren't you surprised?
[17:53] ---
I thought that was pretty shocking myself.
[17:55] ---
Sorry! I'd only ever thought
of BL or crossdressing
[17:59] ---
as something you did as a hobby.
[18:03] ---
Then didn't you think
something bad might happen
[18:08] ---
if you let a weirdo like me into
your room and gave me food?
[18:10] ---
Something bad? Like you're going to rob me?
[18:15] ---
No...
[18:16] ---
I think you've been reading too much BL.
[18:18] ---
No, I mean... you're right, but...
[18:22] ---
If I really was into that stuff,
[18:26] ---
I should have fallen in love with you by now.
[18:29] ---
[18:33] ---
Oh, that's it.
[18:36] ---
Actually, since you were dressed like a guy,
I felt really relaxed while talking to you.
[18:41] ---
He doesn't seem scared at all. He...
[18:48] ---
Uh?
[18:49] ---
He really is careless and vulnerable.
[18:51] ---
What?
[18:52] ---
No. It's nothing. Thank you.
[18:56] ---
What? Are we done with that subject?
[18:58] ---
Yes. Thank you.
[19:00] ---
You sure? I've barely said a word.
[19:03] ---
I'm sure. Now let's eat! Have another beer.
[19:08] ---
Yeah, you're right.
[19:32] ---
He left his glasses on...
should I take them off?
[19:36] ---
Take them off and give him a kiss!
[19:38] ---
Be quiet. Shut up!
[19:39] ---
Why? He's totally open!
[19:42] ---
I don't want to wake him.
[19:44] ---
And I'm not into that stuff, personally.
[19:46] ---
After all that fapping to BL you do?
[19:50] ---
Don't say "fap".
[19:52] ---
Something fell behind the shelves.

And a miniskirt police officer.
So what's one more?
[22:41] ---
There's a lot of demand for them.
[22:42] ---
I need to go all out or I won't survive.
[22:45] ---
This is really popular at pachinko, and there
are even celebrities who imitate it!
[22:50] ---
I think it might be pretty popular!
[22:52] ---
Not happening.
[22:53] ---
But manager, this was expensive!
I bought it myself!
[22:57] ---
We don't do that stuff here.
Do it on your own time.
[23:00] ---
What if we get sued?
[23:03] ---
Damn it. If Watanabe came,
I'm sure he'd love it.

[23:10] ---
It's almost time for Comic Festival!
[23:12] ---
Let's buy all the BL books we can find!
[23:14] ---
I hope there's some last minute stuff too!
[23:16] ---
I'm so excited I can't sleep!
[23:17] ---
Not getting enough sleep is bad for
your skin and can lead to heatstroke!
[23:20] ---
Yoshitake-san gave us a list
of stuff to beat the heat.
[23:23] ---
Hat. Towel. Fan. Suntan lotion. Deodorant.
[23:26] ---
Napkins to wipe off the sweat.
Change of clothes. Frozen drinks.
[23:28] ---
What great ideas!
[23:29] ---
Lastly, if you put an ice pack in your bra,
it keeps you cool and gives you big boobs!
[23:33] ---
[23:34] ---
That one's not happening.
[23:35] ---
Yeah.

[00:11] ---
Kanako!
[00:13] ---
Angela!
[00:15] ---
Did you get lost?
[00:16] ---
Hey, it's my third time to
visit Japan. No worries.
[00:24] ---
How is Sue? She's joined Genshiken, right?
[00:29] ---
Yeah. She's getting quite used to it.
[00:32] ---
Okay, then let's go to the club room.
Is everybody there?
[00:37] ---
Well...
[02:10] ---
It's just before summer Comic Festival,
[02:14] ---
and Genshiken is working on the last
52 pages of Ogiue's pro project.
[02:18] ---
They're working very hard.
[02:26] ---
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[02:27] ---
This is all because I wrote fifty
pages for the Comic Festival manga.
[02:31] ---
No, no. It's fun!
[02:33] ---
If you give up, the game is already over!
[02:36] ---
This is perfect for getting
fired up for Comic Festival!
[02:39] ---
Since we're being paid, we're pros too!
[02:41] ---
Nice Boat!
[02:43] ---
Yeah! Nice Boat!
[02:45] ---
How many times have we heard that?
They've stayed up so many nights they're going crazy.
[02:50] ---
And this is next month's issue with part one in it!
Seeing this makes my tiredness fly away!
[02:54] ---
I'm too embarrassed to look at it much.
[02:57] ---
I put the tone on this!
[02:59] ---
So did I. And I've heard
that a hundred times now.
[03:02] ---
Most of it was Hato-chan's
backgrounds though.
[03:05] ---
Hato-chan?
[03:08] ---
What's wrong?
[03:10] ---
Sempai... this is an emergency.
[03:14] ---
Are you sick?
[03:17] ---
I think...
[03:19] ---
I'm starting to grow a beard.
[03:23] ---
Beards and Boobs!
[03:29] ---
And having something growing
when I'm dressed like this...
[03:32] ---
...is just so embarrassing!
[03:36] ---
By "something" she means a beard, right?
[03:38] ---
What else could she mean?
[03:40] ---
Dick-dock.
[03:42] ---
Hato. Turn this around.
[03:44] ---
Yajima-san?
[03:45] ---
Your beard is embarrasing because
you're dressed like a girl.
[03:49] ---
Then you'll be fine if you go
back to dressing like a guy!
[03:52] ---
I see!
[03:53] ---
That phrase you kept repeating like
an idiot is finally coming in handy!
[03:55] ---
I'm not a girl, so it's not embarrassing!
[03:57] ---
Like an idiot? Is that what you thought?
[04:00] ---
Um.... you're right that that's one solution,
[04:04] ---
but I didn't bring any men's clothing.
[04:07] ---
Why didn't you?
[04:10] ---
I knew these two were gonna clash.
[04:13] ---
It's summer vacation so I was
able to come straight from home.
[04:16] ---
I haven't been to Madarame-sempai's
room in a long time.
[04:20] ---
Want to borrow some of mine?
I've got some that are big and kind of boyish.
[04:24] ---
No, I couldn't.
[04:29] ---
Do your job.
[04:32] ---
Right.
[04:35] ---
Sue-san's loyalty to her sempai is amazing.
[04:39] ---
She must love sempai's manga.
[04:42] ---
Chika's panties are mine! And my--
[04:44] ---
That's enough!
[04:45] ---
... panties are Chika's.
[04:48] ---
Sue-san, I mean, Chief! I've got an idea!
[04:54] ---
Ohno-sempai begged us to let her leave
these cosplay outfits here, right?
[04:59] ---
They're totally in the way.
[05:01] ---
If there's a male character costume
in the box, Hato-chan can wear that.
[05:06] ---
Cosplay?
[05:08] ---
That might work.
[05:11] ---
I'm sorry, I just...
[05:14] ---
I can't accept having a beard
when I'm dressed like this.
[05:18] ---
It may be easier to just cosplay,
[05:20] ---
and show you what I look like
as a guy like Yajima-san says.
[05:25] ---
No, wait. It's not that I
want to see you as a guy.
[05:30] ---
You guys have all gone nuts.
[05:33] ---
Then it's settled.
[05:35] ---
Are these all costumes for
trap characters, Ohno-sempai?
[05:41] ---
Of course they are.
Now let's get back to work.
[05:43] ---
Susie's gonna get mad.
[05:45] ---
Yajimacchi.
[05:47] ---
That outfit is a size LL, right?
[05:51] ---
[05:54] ---
Sempai, can I borrow your makeup remover?
[05:57] ---
It's nothing great, it comes
with a face wash, but okay.
[06:01] ---
That's fine.
[06:02] ---
Why?
[06:04] ---
Now now. I'm cosplaying too.
[06:07] ---
That's not cosplay! That's just a sweatsuit!
[06:10] ---
No. It's kind of a shock how well it works.
[06:14] ---
Especially the fact that
I can wear my own glasses!
[06:19] ---
This isn't fair! Why my clothes?
[06:23] ---
I haven't even taken a bath yet!
Do you know how much a fat girl can sweat?
[06:27] ---
Well, I'm really thin,
and I'm still sweating like a pig.
[06:30] ---
You shut up!
[06:32] ---
We all stink!
[06:34] ---
Why is all this happening? Is it my fault?
[06:38] ---
Keep working.
[06:39] ---
Right, chief.
[06:40] ---
I'm back.
[06:43] ---
I'll get back to work right away.
[06:51] ---
So where's the beard?
[06:52] ---
Right here.
[06:54] ---
I can't even see it!
[06:56] ---
No, you can. It's almost there.
[06:59] ---
He's not as polite when he's a girl.
[07:01] ---
I've got more armpit hair than that.
[07:05] ---
You're not working.
[07:07] ---
Um... thanks, Yajima-san,
for lending me your clothes.
[07:11] ---
It's fine. Just get to work.
[07:14] ---
Yeah, I'll hurry.
[07:16] ---
When I finish, I'll put on my mascara and
old clothes, and I can wash these.
[07:21] ---
Huh? Maybe I can't return them washed?
[07:24] ---
Yeah. Yajimacchi can't
leave dressed like that.
[07:31] ---
It doesn't matter. She can put them back on.
[07:35] ---
Of course it does!
[07:38] ---
Take them off! Take them off right now!
[07:40] ---
I'm not lending them to you
after all! Take them off!
[07:42] ---
Wait! I'm still in girl's underwear!
[07:44] ---
Wear this!
[07:48] ---
Even if you're a trap, if you're a
guy you're allowed to have a beard!
[07:55] ---
Hato-kun?
[08:00] ---
I'm alright. I'm sorry for the trouble.
[08:12] ---
I'd like the school building
drawn at a low angle.
[08:14] ---
Right.
[08:15] ---
Sue-san. Why don't you cosplay too,
[08:18] ---
so all the freshmen are doing it?
[08:21] ---
I thought so. But when I
looked in the box, Sue-san...
[08:33] ---
Sue?
[08:43] ---
Um, why don't you try it too?
[08:54] ---
Well, it's my fault
this happened anyway.
[09:02] ---
Angela, maybe.
[09:03] ---
Oh, that's right.
She's already here, isn't she?
[09:06] ---
Well, I guess it's okay if it's
just Angela and Ohno-sempai.
[09:17] ---
Do you think this is a joke?
[09:21] ---
Are you stupid? Why are
you dressed like that?
[09:25] ---
Yabusaki had come to bring us snacks.
She yelled at us for a whole hour.
[09:29] ---
But after that she helped us,
and we made the deadline somehow.
[09:38] ---
Yagurabashi is currently off-limits!
[09:45] ---
Comic Festival has begun!
[09:53] ---
Hato-kun, I know it's a little
late for me to be saying this,
[09:55] ---
but you're fine with cosplaying, right?
[09:58] ---
I have to be.
[10:01] ---
You said it would cause a lot of problems
if I dressed my usual way out here.
[10:05] ---
I'm trying to look as
much like a guy as I can.
[10:08] ---
I don't think you made it.
You look like a girl to me.
[10:12] ---
You should dress like a guy.
We saw you do it last time.
[10:15] ---
That was a mistake made after too many
sleepless nights! Please forget about it!
[10:20] ---
Anyway, I decided that when we went around
the women's circles, I'd go as a girl.
[10:25] ---
Well, it seems important to her,
so let's respect her decision.
[10:28] ---
But just so we're clear,
please make sure you use the men's restroom.
[10:33] ---
Right.
[10:34] ---
You really are a boy. Ooh.
[10:38] ---
Why you did that now?
[10:40] ---
Sorry. Just a typical joke.
[10:43] ---
I'm happy... yet frustrated!
[10:45] ---
Well done!
[10:47] ---
You're cosplaying today too,
aren't you, Angela-san?
[10:49] ---
Cosplay? Yeah, I have left shopping to Sue.
[10:53] ---
Well, I should say, I read books selected by her.
Her choice is surely good.
[10:57] ---
The books are here.
[11:00] ---
Ogiue-sempai isn't here yet, is she?
[11:02] ---
She'll show. She's got our
registration card and the samples.
[11:07] ---
We can't sell anything without them.
[11:09] ---
Let's get it set up.
[11:13] ---
What are you doing here?
[11:14] ---
Yah.
[11:18] ---
She was up all night working
on the copy book and collapsed?
[11:21] ---
Wait a second. The pro book
was due yesterday, right?
[11:25] ---
She stayed up all night drawing after that?
[11:27] ---
That idiot... I hope she doesn't get sick.
[11:32] ---
What's that?
[11:37] ---
Show me that, damn it!
I mean, please show it to me.
[11:40] ---
Nobody's gonna stop you. Nyah.
[11:44] ---
Start lining up. Everybody please stand!
[11:48] ---
Please get as close as possible
to the person in front of you.
[11:53] ---
Jeez... finally.
[11:56] ---
It's finally time!
[12:00] ---
We will now begin the first
day of Comic Festival.
[12:05] ---
Be quiet. I told you to sit down.
[12:08] ---
Nyah-ko, sit down.
[12:13] ---
And now it's started, nyah.
[12:15] ---
Seriously?
[12:17] ---
Applause!
[12:24] ---
I'll sit down, though. No point in
fighting over something like this.
[12:29] ---
I'll take your new volume.
[12:32] ---
Um... these are our new volumes.
[12:35] ---
Right after we started? That soon?
[12:38] ---
Are you the author? Ogino-sensei?
[12:40] ---
No, I'm not. She collapsed after staying up
all night and will be here in the evening.
[12:44] ---
I read Afternoon. Tell her I'm
looking forward to part two.
[12:49] ---
Right.
[12:50] ---
Thank you!
[12:52] ---
Ogiue's part one wasn't that
well-received online.
[12:57] ---
Quite the opposite.
[12:58] ---
I guess not everybody agreed with that, nyah.
[13:04] ---
That idiot. She needs to be here!
[13:07] ---
I'll take the new book.
[13:09] ---
I'll take part one.
[13:10] ---
Can I buy this?
[13:11] ---
May I see this?
[13:12] ---
Oh no.
[13:13] ---
It totally looks like we're
trying to profit off her!
[13:18] ---
You just realized?
[13:19] ---
I just wanted to work with her!
[13:22] ---
Tell that to her! Nyah.
[13:27] ---
I'm back.
[13:28] ---
Oh my.
[13:30] ---
That's not a trap cosplay.
[13:32] ---
There was a limited edition drama CD where
this character comes to Comic Festival.
[13:36] ---
As a rotten girl.
[13:37] ---
Seriously?
[13:38] ---
Nobody remembers anymore, I think.
[13:43] ---
I don't think I stand out too much like this.
[13:48] ---
But crossdressing and cosplay
really are different!
[13:51] ---
When you cosplay, you're
expecting to be seen.
[13:54] ---
Even so, it's much better
than everyone thinking I'm a guy.
[13:58] ---
Okay, you start with
Flower/Scales, Hato-chan.
[14:00] ---
Start there and get us five copies each of
every new volume from the circles I marked.
[14:04] ---
Okay!
[14:05] ---
When you've got them all, or you can't carry
anymore, go to Ogi-sempai's "Snow Retreat."
[14:11] ---
Expect a long line for the
biggest women's manga.
[14:14] ---
Okay, Yajimacchi and I will
hit the lines on the outside.
[14:18] ---
Yeah!
[14:19] ---
Good luck!

I see. So the last person holds the placard.
[14:31] ---
I'll take that.
[14:35] ---
I'll take that.
[14:36] ---
Wow. It keeps getting longer.
[14:40] ---
And they're all like me, right?
[14:42] ---
Okay, five books will be 3500 yen.
[14:45] ---
All right! Nobody found me out!
[14:48] ---
Okay! I'll buy a lot!
[14:52] ---
Looks like the first rush is over.
We sold out of the copy books.
[14:56] ---
I'm going to go buy some things, nyah!
[14:59] ---
Wait!

[15:45] ---
I hope the next person comes soon.
[15:48] ---
Thank you.
[15:51] ---
Huh? Somebody other than Ogiue's
got a manga this time.
[15:54] ---
Thank yo--
[15:56] ---
Can I have five copies?
[16:01] ---
Sorry, that's us. 3500 yen.
[16:05] ---
I see. So you two are Ogiue's
partners right now, right?
[16:09] ---
I don't know if "partner"
is the right word for it.
[16:12] ---
Tell me if somebody's behind you.
[16:13] ---
Okay.
[16:14] ---
Ogiue Chika is my waifu!
[16:16] ---
Ssh.
[16:18] ---
I see. I'm sorry.
[16:20] ---
I was her classmate in middle school.
My name's Nakajima.
[16:24] ---
Yeah?
[16:26] ---
I'm not, but she's in a circle
with her called Genshiken.
[16:30] ---
Ogiue's the president.
[16:32] ---
The president of a circle? That's...
[16:36] ---
... not like her at all!
[16:38] ---
Right? Not at all!
[16:41] ---
Anyway, that makes me feel relieved.
[16:43] ---
I was worried that she'd...
[16:46] ---
...try to kill herself over a guy again.
[16:55] ---
Last year Ogiue was here
with her boyfriend right?
[17:00] ---
When she didn't show up at the last Comic Festival,
I was afraid something had happened.
[17:05] ---
Back in middle school,
[17:06] ---
she used her boyfriend
Makita-kun in a BL book.
[17:10] ---
He ended up having to change
schools, and then she...
[17:13] ---
No, no, no. Nakajima-san, was it?
[17:17] ---
It's the perfect job for Ogiue, I think.
[17:22] ---
I could understand if it was the old Ogiue.
[17:28] ---
I know that too.
[17:30] ---
And her boyfriend does too! But they're dating!
And they're really happy!
[17:36] ---
Looks like you didn't have to worry.
[17:40] ---
So it seems.
[17:43] ---
How many years has it been?
Six? That's a long time.
[17:50] ---
I think I'll go now.
[17:51] ---
Will you be back after Ogiue gets here?
[17:55] ---
No, I won't.
[17:57] ---
You sure?
[17:58] ---
I'm sure you two understand that
it's better if I don't meet her.
[18:04] ---
I probably won't stop by at the
next Comic Festival either.
[18:07] ---
So don't worry.
[18:17] ---
She didn't notice?
[18:19] ---
Looks so.
[18:22] ---
We're still selling books? That's great.
[18:27] ---
She didn't even notice!
[18:29] ---
Wait, why is your face so red?
[18:32] ---
I'm running a 39°C fever...
[18:36] ---
Hey, you know what we have to do, right?
[18:38] ---
'Course!
[18:39] ---
Don't say anything about that girl.
[18:41] ---
'Course not!
[18:43] ---
Okay.
[18:45] ---
Take her.
[18:46] ---
Yes ma'am!
[18:51] ---
Leave the rest to me.
[18:56] ---
Ogiue was right behind us.
[18:58] ---
There's no need to talk to her.
[19:00] ---
But now Makita-kun is...
[19:02] ---
There's no need to tell her that!
[19:04] ---
We don't need to make her life any better.
[19:08] ---
Why are you such a bitch?
[19:11] ---
It's nothing new, so you
don't need to say anything.
[19:19] ---
Isn't it amazing? Ogiue-san's books sold out!
[19:24] ---
It was fun selling them! Wasn't it, guys?
[19:28] ---
Yeah.
[19:28] ---
Yes!
[19:30] ---
Think we could get a hand here?
[19:34] ---
Madarame-san and the others
will be here on day three.
[19:37] ---
Madarame!
[19:40] ---
He has really pretty fingers, you know?
[19:45] ---
Is she talking about Madarame-sempai?
[19:49] ---
Here's today's earnings,
and some doujinshi I found.
[19:53] ---
I'd like you to count it up,
but I don't think you can right now.
[19:58] ---
We can have Sue do it, or...
[20:02] ---
... have him do it.
[20:09] ---
Let's go, Sue.
[20:10] ---
Sue... Sue, thanks. You can go now.
[20:16] ---
I hope you and your boyfriend explode!
[20:28] ---
I'm sorry, Sasahara-san.
[20:30] ---
Hm?
[20:31] ---
I thought if Sue saw me crying, she'd worry.
[20:36] ---
Mm.
[20:38] ---
I made her help me with a private project
that had nothing to do with Genshiken,
[20:42] ---
and then I got too sick to come
on the day we sold our doujinshi!
[20:47] ---
Mm.
[20:48] ---
I feel like I'm a failure as a president!
[20:52] ---
I see.
[20:53] ---
And then maybe...
[20:55] ---
They might think I just wanted
to go to Comic Festival today.
[20:59] ---
Ehh...
[21:02] ---
Want to come to my place?
You worked hard today.
[21:09] ---
Yabu... Sue loves Yabu!
[21:14] ---
What?
[21:16] ---
A fish with a human face!
[21:18] ---
I hope my cold gets better, and then...
[21:21] ---
Even if your fever goes down,
you shouldn't go tomorrow or the day after.
[21:24] ---
Really?
[21:26] ---
Yup.
[21:27] ---
I shouldn't?
[21:28] ---
You shouldn't.

The summer anime shows have already
finished episode 4? Time flies.
[23:14] ---
I'm sure everyone's talking about
which shows they've dropped online.
[23:17] ---
I always give a series three episodes!
[23:19] ---
So you actually drop shows?
That's nothing to be proud of.
[23:21] ---
You always get mad when something
gets popular after you drop it.
[23:23] ---
That's when I say everybody
else on the board is a shill!
[23:25] ---
You're horrible!
[23:26] ---
Viral marketing! Viral marketing!
[23:28] ---
Any time something sells that I don't like,
it's due to viral marketing!
[23:30] ---
The anime I like should sell a lot,
and the ones I don't shouldn't sell at all!
[23:33] ---
I don't care!

[00:14] ---
Why?
[00:16] ---
It's the day before Comic Festival,
and I'm not excited at all.
[00:19] ---
It's Comic Festival! I used to get
so excited, it was kind of stupid.
[00:24] ---
What happened to me?
[02:07] ---
You look happy, Kanako.
[02:09] ---
No wonder!
[02:11] ---
Today I get to cosplay with everybody!
[02:15] ---
Everybody was busy with
their own things yesterday,
[02:18] ---
but today I'm counting on you!
[02:20] ---
Okay!
[02:21] ---
So you're going straight back to America
after Comic Festival is over, Angela-san?
[02:25] ---
You must really love it!
[02:26] ---
She's tough! She does
tennis and swimming too!
[02:31] ---
They're really excited today.
[02:34] ---
Especially Ohno-san.
[02:36] ---
They've been like that since yesterday.
[02:38] ---
I won't deny that cosplay is fun.
[02:41] ---
Anyway, isn't Madarame-sempai late?
[02:44] ---
We need him for our plan!
[02:48] ---
Is that him?
[02:51] ---
Sorry, am I the last here?
[02:53] ---
Don't worry. There's still
time before the first train.
[02:57] ---
That's good.
[02:58] ---
Good morning, Madarame-sempai.
It's been a while.
[03:02] ---
Oh, uh, morning.
[03:06] ---
Is that you, Hato-kun?
I didn't know you had a wig like that.
[03:09] ---
Let's get moving.
[03:11] ---
Hey, it's been forever, Kugayama.
[03:13] ---
Since graduation, yeah.
[03:15] ---
That's right, sempai can only talk
to me normally when I'm a guy.
[03:20] ---
You look a little pale, Madarame.
[03:23] ---
I'm a bit hungover.
[03:25] ---
Hungover?
[03:29] ---
Hey, do you remember?
[03:32] ---
Last summer at the room.
[03:34] ---
When we were reading an
anime magazine together,
[03:37] ---
you flipped the pages
with these fingers.
[03:44] ---
Come on, Kanako! Interpret!
[03:47] ---
N-No.
[03:49] ---
I don't get it at all.
[03:51] ---
That really happened!
[03:53] ---
Well, I skipped some things, though.
[03:55] ---
Hey, it doesn't make sense.
[03:55] ---
What is this? What is this?
[03:57] ---
Dunno.
[03:58] ---
I think, basically, she wants to say thanks
for helping her last year in the club room.
[04:03] ---
I'm not sure I really understand her, though.
[04:07] ---
Last summer in the club room?
That's a long time ago.
[04:11] ---
I don't really remember,
but you're welcome.
[04:15] ---
He doesn't remember.
[04:17] ---
Oh. That's a shame.
[04:24] ---
I could return the
favor in a different way.
[04:27] ---
Stop that.
[04:29] ---
Go Next!
[04:53] ---
Angela-san's still clinging to him.
[04:56] ---
She's so aggressive.
[04:59] ---
Can we assume there's
something going on?
[05:01] ---
I read on the net once that Japanese
guys are really popular overseas.
[05:07] ---
I don't think that's true.
[05:09] ---
I don't know, but what
we're seeing here--
[05:12] ---
I'm sure she's bothering Madarame-sempai.
[05:14] ---
He still likes Kasukabe-sempai.
[05:19] ---
But I probably shouldn't try to interfere.
[05:22] ---
He avoids me when I'm a girl, anyway.
[05:28] ---
Ohno-sempai!
[05:30] ---
Yes?
[05:32] ---
Madarame-sempai said he was hungover.
[05:35] ---
Can I go help him buy doujinshi today?
[05:40] ---
I was really looking
forward to today though!
[05:42] ---
I see.
[05:44] ---
I'm sorry. Please.
[05:47] ---
Well, you did it yesterday,
and the day before.
[05:50] ---
Thank you.
[05:52] ---
Madarame-sempai! Kuchiki-sempai!
[05:54] ---
The male version!
[05:56] ---
I'll be going with you guys.
[06:01] ---
I think it works.
[06:02] ---
W-What does?
[06:04] ---
Thanks for the help.
[06:06] ---
Why are you giving a thumbs up?
[06:16] ---
I thought we could cosplay all
the main characters, but...
[06:21] ---
Probably that's guided
by the law of cycles.
[06:24] ---
Can I ask you something by now?
[06:27] ---
What was that in this morning?
Since when do you like Madarame so much?
[06:31] ---
I told you then.
[06:33] ---
He was kind to me when I
came to Japan last summer.
[06:36] ---
But you weren't flirting
with him in winter!
[06:40] ---
That's not surprising.
[06:42] ---
He had Saki.
[06:44] ---
But Saki graduated.
[06:47] ---
And Madarame was left
broken-hearted, right?
[06:50] ---
You know what I think?
Madarame deserves to be happier.
[06:54] ---
And isn't it about time
he finds a new love?
[07:00] ---
Don't scare me!
[07:03] ---
I don't get it at all.
[07:05] ---
It's perfect for you.
[07:06] ---
But if Ogiue-san was here
you'd do my character, right?
[07:10] ---
What?
[07:12] ---
I agreed to dress like this because
we were all going to do it.
[07:16] ---
That Hato... I should've quit too.
[07:19] ---
I need you here for my character, though!
We're a couple!
[07:22] ---
And don't you think Hato-chan's
fine where she is?
[07:26] ---
Why?
[07:27] ---
A guy, dressed like a guy, is going with
his guy friends to buy doujins for guys.
[07:32] ---
No problem, right?
[07:34] ---
I guess.
[07:36] ---
No, I mean that should be just fine.
[07:40] ---
I don't understand them.
[07:46] ---
Hato-kun, you get all your stuff?
[07:48] ---
You too?
[07:49] ---
Yeah, I got all the stuff on the list.
[07:52] ---
But you being here helped a lot.
[07:54] ---
It meant I had less to buy. Thanks.
[07:57] ---
It's fine.
[07:58] ---
How are you feeling?
[08:00] ---
I'll be fine once the
alcohol's out of my system.
[08:02] ---
A junior caring for him sempai!
[08:05] ---
Did you drink that much?
[08:07] ---
It's been really hot lately.
[08:08] ---
I can't concentrate. Get lost.
[08:11] ---
I'll head upstairs for now.
[08:13] ---
I'm everywhere and nowhere, you know!
[08:17] ---
Anyway, what do you think of day three?
There's more people here, right?
[08:22] ---
There's people everywhere.
It's overwhelming.
[08:25] ---
Yesterday I only went
to the women's booths.
[08:28] ---
Oh yeah. Yesterday was what
you were really here for.
[08:32] ---
Dorarara?
[08:33] ---
Yes, that's right.
I searched everywhere for stuff.
[08:37] ---
And in cosplay too.
[08:39] ---
Tanaka-san's really good,
to be able to make that overnight!
[08:45] ---
That's a real turnabout!
[08:47] ---
A female character who dresses like a guy.
I'm cross-dressing, but at the same time I'm not!
[08:51] ---
And since it comes with pants
I can stand up in the bathroom.
SIGN End of the Line (#2)
[08:57] ---
Or so I thought.
[09:00] ---
I'm glad you're having a good time.
[09:04] ---
When I was a student,
I came all three days,
[09:08] ---
bought all the doujinshi,
and lined up at all the company booths.
[09:12] ---
Company booths?
[09:14] ---
You don't know about them?
Second floor of the west hall.
[09:17] ---
Lots of companies are there, but it's mostly
H-game developers and publishing companies.
[09:20] ---
They all hold events and sell con exclusives.
[09:23] ---
I didn't know they had
that here. I'll go later.
[09:26] ---
Once, I tripped in a line here
and fractured my hand.
[09:29] ---
But I still stayed in line and bought
stuff at those booths. Those were the days.
[09:35] ---
Fractured your hand?
[09:36] ---
The indiscretions of my youth.
[09:38] ---
And now that I'm out of school,
I can only go for one day.
[09:43] ---
It kinda puts out my fire.
[09:47] ---
No, I don't think that's the problem.
[09:50] ---
For me, it's all in my head.
[09:53] ---
But it was hot in
another way, wasn't it?
[09:57] ---
The temperature?
[09:58] ---
No... Angela-san.
[10:01] ---
No, no, no.
She's just making fun of me.
[10:05] ---
Is she? You don't think it's
finally your turn to get lucky?
[10:07] ---
It's a lie that everybody gets
lucky once in their life. I never have.
[10:12] ---
She only comes to Japan
for Comic Festival, anyway.
[10:16] ---
She's just messing around.
[10:17] ---
Forget 3D girls! 2D for the win.
[10:21] ---
And I got plenty of them today.
[10:23] ---
Um...
[10:25] ---
Then have you ever
fallen in love with a 3D girl?
[10:31] ---
Huh?
[10:33] ---
Never.
[10:34] ---
He's lying.
[10:37] ---
No. It's not fair to keep asking
these questions when I saw those photos.
[10:43] ---
But if she knew the real you,
[10:45] ---
I think a girl would
really like being around you.
[10:50] ---
What's gotten into you?
[10:51] ---
You're a good cook.
[10:54] ---
And you treat somebody
like me like a normal person.
[11:00] ---
You're sure you aren't into guys, right?
[11:03] ---
I-I'm not!
[11:05] ---
The only 3D people I've ever
fallen in love with were girls.
[11:08] ---
Is that after you got into BL?
[11:11] ---
Yes!
[11:11] ---
Oh, hey. There you are.
[11:14] ---
Hello there, Kugayama-sempai!
[11:17] ---
Hey. It's really hot, huh?
[11:21] ---
Good timing, Kugayama.
[11:23] ---
Hato-kun said he wanted to
check out the company booths.
[11:26] ---
That's right.
[11:28] ---
Can you keep our place?
[11:29] ---
Sure. I'll just be reading my doujins.
[11:36] ---
I think those two are really
suspicious, Kugayama-san!
[11:41] ---
But I guess normal people don't care.
[11:47] ---
No matter what you say,
she's got a boyfriend already.
[11:52] ---
Even in an H-game,
it would never happen.
[11:55] ---
And what a boyfriend.
[11:58] ---
I'm gonna feel like a loser
for the rest of my life.
[12:10] ---
Well, how do I approach
him on the way back?
[12:20] ---
So this whole floor is company booths.
[12:22] ---
Wow, there's so many!
[12:24] ---
Madarame-san!
[12:28] ---
I was just thinking of contacting you.
[12:32] ---
Kousaka!
[12:34] ---
W-Why? And why are you--
[12:37] ---
I've been recruited to help advertise.
[12:39] ---
Our new H-game is about traps.
[12:45] ---
I've fit Hato-kun up for the clothes...
[12:48] ---
What?
[12:49] ---
Actually, I wanted Ogiue-san to
cosplay this character, though.
[12:54] ---
Hato-kun's also fabulous,
[12:56] ---
but we may want to find someone smaller.
[12:59] ---
And if she were here, Hato-kun
would cosplay this one!
[13:05] ---
Yeah, should be this.
[13:07] ---
Yeah.
[13:08] ---
If Ogiue-san would do...
well, she won't change her mind though.
[13:15] ---
Hey, what's wrong, Sue?
[13:21] ---
You want to cosplay this one?
[13:23] ---
But you're blonde!
[13:25] ---
Anyway, I don't think Ohno-sempai
works as a middle schooler.
[13:30] ---
Yeah, she's too busty.
[13:35] ---
Madarame-san says Kousaka-san is
cosplaying as girl at the company booths!
[13:40] ---
And he sent a picture!
[13:41] ---
Wow.
[13:43] ---
What a natural!
[13:44] ---
I want to go see!
[13:46] ---
But I can't leave by myself.
This is a group cosplay!
[13:50] ---
And Kousaka-san is
working so he can't come here!
[13:53] ---
And going anywhere in
this crowd is impossible!
[13:57] ---
This is Kasukabe-sempai's boyfriend?
[14:01] ---
Ohno-san says she wants more pictures.
[14:04] ---
Sure.
[14:05] ---
In other words,
he's Madarame-sempai's rival.
[14:09] ---
Okay, ready?
[14:11] ---
Yeah, I don't think he can win.
[14:14] ---
Win what?
[14:17] ---
Kuchiki-kun sent a selfie.
[14:20] ---
Oh, he's in line.
[14:22] ---
"Gimmie an upskirt?"
[14:24] ---
I guess they're rivals,
but they get along.
[14:31] ---
I can't get in between them!
[14:34] ---
Are they going to fight
over Kasukabe-sempai?
[14:38] ---
I guess not.
[14:40] ---
They're already dating, so
Madarame-sempai watches from a distance.
[14:45] ---
I can see it in my mind's eye.
[14:49] ---
Even I think his
crossdressing is perfect.
[14:54] ---
Wait? Are you not wearing
makeup, Kousaka-sempai?
[14:59] ---
That's right.
[15:02] ---
It's hopeless, Madarame-sempai.
[15:05] ---
What's that?
[15:11] ---
I guess in that case,
[15:13] ---
dating Angela-san is
the best option for him.
[15:17] ---
Come on.
[15:18] ---
No, that doesn't seem quite right.
[15:21] ---
What? Still shocked by Kousaka?
[15:24] ---
Your crossdressing is amazing too.
[15:26] ---
Kohsaka's just a natural. Don't worry about it.
He's from a different dimension.
[15:31] ---
Anyway, I'm not gonna win.
[15:54] ---
I think in general terms,
I'm as good as he is.
[15:58] ---
So you...
[16:00] ---
You shouldn't say you can't win.
[16:02] ---
What did you say? I couldn't hear you.
[16:09] ---
I want him to try just a little harder.
[16:14] ---
It may just be me being selfish.
[16:18] ---
But isn't everything I want like that?
[16:24] ---
Stop it, please.
[16:26] ---
You're bothering him.
[16:29] ---
It's just about what I want.
[16:32] ---
Interpret, Kanako.
[16:34] ---
Okay.
[16:39] ---
But...
[16:42] ---
Even if it may be a one-night stand,
[16:44] ---
it could be a very memorable
event in your life.
[16:50] ---
A one-night stand?
[16:52] ---
I'm so jealous!
[16:53] ---
I-I don't think so!
[16:56] ---
I'm sure a feeling that develops
over time is much stronger!
[17:01] ---
I believe the feeling that you have
developed over time is surely stronger.
[17:08] ---
Oh, you forgot what
happened in the morning?
[17:10] ---
I told you, I have been fancying
Madarame since last year.
[17:14] ---
Now is just a trigger.
[17:19] ---
And it's our right to make
a decision for the future.
[17:24] ---
It's nothing for an
outsider to interfere with.
[17:28] ---
She's really aggressive.
[17:30] ---
It's so direct that translating
it is embarrassing.
[17:33] ---
Hang in there.
[17:36] ---
It doesn't matter whether I'm an outsider,
or what rights I have.
[17:40] ---
Because Madarame-sempai...
[17:43] ---
...likes Kasukabe-sempai!
[17:46] ---
Madarame-sempai...
[17:50] ---
Sempai...
[17:55] ---
He's a bottom!
[17:58] ---
Hey!
[17:59] ---
He's what we call a bottom in BL!
[18:02] ---
And he's a damn good one,
so he should be paired with a guy!
[18:06] ---
Like Tanaka-sempai x Madarame-sempai!
[18:08] ---
You picked me?
[18:09] ---
Or Kugayama-sempai would be great too!
[18:11] ---
N-No I wouldn't.
[18:13] ---
Or even Kuchiki-sempai trying
to be a top and failing!
[18:17] ---
He's not here, but Sasahara-sempai
would work too!
[18:21] ---
But my personal favorite right now...
[18:23] ---
... is the love I saw today!
[18:26] ---
Shut up already!
[18:28] ---
Kousaka-sempai x Madarame-sempai!
[18:31] ---
Now who should I send this picture to?
[18:35] ---
Stop it, please...
[18:41] ---
So Madarame-sempai
doesn't have time to date a girl.
[18:46] ---
What am I saying?
[18:48] ---
I can't breathe! I can't look at him!
[18:51] ---
Madarame... total bottom?
[18:53] ---
Yes! Total bottom.
[18:58] ---
Yes! Total bottom!
[19:00] ---
Total bottom! Total bottom!
[19:03] ---
Madarame the total bottom!
[19:04] ---
Angela, I forgot you liked that stuff.
[19:07] ---
But that is that.
[19:11] ---
My fingers again?
[19:25] ---
Oops, you got really uptight?
[19:29] ---
Chai... Chai Kick!
[19:35] ---
Ouch!
[19:37] ---
Oh... my.
[19:40] ---
Hato!
[19:43] ---
Good job!
[19:44] ---
See you at the next Comic
Festival, Madarame!
[19:49] ---
Yankee go home!
[19:51] ---
Go to hell!
[19:53] ---
What was that?
[19:55] ---
I'm not entirely sure.
[19:58] ---
Um, I'm sorry for the
weird things I said.
[20:01] ---
Nah, you saved me, so it's okay.
[20:04] ---
But one thing...
[20:09] ---
Where did you get that thing about
a feeling that develops over time?
[20:16] ---
It just came to me.
[20:21] ---
I see. Fine then.
[20:23] ---
Hato-chan's one of us, isn't she?
[20:26] ---
Excuse me.
[20:28] ---
You should be more careful
with these things!
[20:32] ---
Sorry.
[20:33] ---
And what happened to Hato X Madarame?
[20:40] ---
I'm a bottom?!
[20:44] ---
It was a big shock for us to accept him.
It was a big shock for all of us.
[20:49] ---
No, I think it's a bigger shock for him.
[20:53] ---
Is he forgetting how close
he came to a girl's boobs?
[20:57] ---
And that's the end of
this year's Comic Festival!
[22:43] ---
Okay, calm down.
It's not time to freak out yet.
[22:47] ---
"Bottom" is just a concept that
exists in a rotten girl's head.
[22:49] ---
It doesn't affect me in reality.
[22:57] ---
I'm not sure if Sasahara lets his
girlfriend use him in BL 'cause he's tough,
[23:02] ---
or if Madarame is just delicate.
[23:03] ---
While I'm sure tastes will vary,
I think that's probably what makes him good for BL.
SIGN Next Time
[23:10] ---
Comic Festival was so much fun!
[23:12] ---
I bought too much, my legs are
sore, and I can't lift my arms.
[23:15] ---
Really? I'm just fine.
[23:17] ---
It started to get to
me on the second day.
[23:19] ---
Me too.
[23:21] ---
You're still fine, Yoshitake-san?
[23:22] ---
Really?
[23:23] ---
No, it hit me the first day.
[23:25] ---
I've had torn muscles and everything!
[23:27] ---
Torn muscles are a
pretty big deal, aren't they?
[23:29] ---
It takes two or three weeks
to heal, if you're lucky.
[23:32] ---
She's got so much energy.
[23:33] ---
And she's so excited to cosplay.
[23:34] ---
Farewell!
[23:35] ---
She ran!

Hello, Kuchiki-sempai.
SIGN The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture
SIGN Welcome to Genshiken!
[01:52] ---
Did you enjoy Comic Festival, everyone?
[01:55] ---
It was great!
[01:57] ---
We got to cosplay, buy stuff, and sell stuff!
[01:59] ---
I guess maybe we got to enjoy everything
that Comic Festival has to offer.
[02:03] ---
I'm glad to hear it.
[02:05] ---
I didn't get to help at all this time.
[02:08] ---
But this is about the time
[02:11] ---
when you realize which doujinshi you
forgot to buy, and get depressed, right?
[02:14] ---
We didn't get to pick up any
doujinshi about swimming, did we?
[02:17] ---
How was it for you, Hato-kun?
[02:19] ---
It was lots of fun, of course.
[02:22] ---
I see.
[02:25] ---
Madarame-sempai is a bottom!
[02:30] ---
Um, excuse me.
[02:32] ---
I've got some shopping to do
today, so I'll be leaving early.
[02:36] ---
Huh? Okay.
[02:40] ---
Shout "Moe!" Beyond the Event Horizon
[02:44] ---
She said that in front of everybody?
[02:47] ---
That Madarame-san was a total bottom?
[02:49] ---
Hato-kun said that?
[02:51] ---
She did.
[02:53] ---
It felt like she just couldn't watch
what Angela was doing to Madarame-san.
[02:59] ---
Angela? What?
[03:00] ---
Ignore them.
[03:02] ---
Wow... So people will just say that sort
of thing now? Is that really a good idea?
[03:07] ---
I told Sasahara-san about Sasa x Mada
because I didn't have a choice, but...
[03:10] ---
I couldn't say that to Madarame-san.
[03:13] ---
Isn't this kind of like what happened
when you were in middle school?
[03:18] ---
Having him find out himself?
[03:21] ---
Is there any advice you
could give to Hato-kun?
[03:26] ---
No. I got the bad ending.
[03:33] ---
You should show them all the
Sasa x Mada manga you drew.
[03:39] ---
W-Why?
[03:41] ---
What's important right now is to make
sure Hato doesn't feel alone.
[03:48] ---
Outside of Genshiken, Hato is always alone.
[03:54] ---
Madarame was her only male friend.
[03:58] ---
So right now we need to
make sure she remembers
[04:04] ---
that we're just like her.
[04:14] ---
Lately he's always over there. He
never comes into the club room.
[04:18] ---
He's probably got his own
problems with things.
[04:25] ---
Anyway, so...
[04:28] ---
I've been in love with the idea of Sasa x Mada
for long enough to draw all these,
[04:32] ---
so you could say Madarame-san being a total
bottom is the unanimous opinion of Genshiken!
[04:36] ---
Wow, these are good! They look just
like the real thing! And so hot!
[04:40] ---
I seriously respect that she drew
these about her own boyfriend!
[04:44] ---
So can I borrow these or copy them?
[04:48] ---
S-So Hato-kun! Don't be depressed, we all--
[04:55] ---
It's okay to draw this. It's okay...
[05:00] ---
...to draw this!
[05:02] ---
It's okay to draw this!
[05:04] ---
Huh?
[05:05] ---
I've always wanted to
draw something like this!
[05:08] ---
Something serious and hardcore,
and based off of real people.
[05:11] ---
I wasn't sure about the idea of
drawing people I knew, but...
[05:15] ---
Way to go, sempai! It's okay
to draw this, isn't it?
[05:19] ---
Hey, wait! Did we flip
some kind of weird switch?
[05:22] ---
I'll draw it, then! The fantasy
I've always wanted to draw!
[05:27] ---
Madarame-sempai as a total bottom!
[05:29] ---
Hello there.
[05:32] ---
Madarame-san? What's wrong?
[05:35] ---
Nothing, really.
[05:38] ---
Sue told me to come as
soon as I was off work.
[05:41] ---
Sue? Why?
[05:43] ---
I thought we could get
everything worked out at once.
[05:45] ---
But why is Madarame here so early?
[05:47] ---
What happened to his job?
[05:48] ---
Um, I'm sorry about what happened
at Comic Festival. I'm really sorry!
[05:52] ---
Um, let's just both forget it.
[05:55] ---
No, I can't.
[05:58] ---
Um...
[06:01] ---
I'm sorry. May I apologize too?
[06:04] ---
About what?
[06:06] ---
To be honest, all the freshmen
think you're a bottom.
[06:11] ---
Yajima-san!
[06:12] ---
I see...
[06:13] ---
Yes, since we first saw you in spring.
[06:16] ---
We did all say that you
were definitely a bottom.
[06:20] ---
And Hato even said
Hato x Mada was a possibility.
[06:27] ---
That's just how rotten we are.
[06:31] ---
So you can just ignore what we say.
[06:34] ---
Just write it off as a bad
experience and forget it.
[06:45] ---
Kuchiki-kun?
[06:46] ---
I've finally made my decision.
[06:50] ---
Hato-chin... if you, my beautiful
Hato-chin, wish it...
[06:54] ---
I will be your top!
[06:59] ---
Kuchi x Mada!
[07:10] ---
Show me...
[07:12] ---
...your ass!
[07:15] ---
Your ass!
[07:18] ---
Your ass! Your ass!
[07:20] ---
Run, sempai! Quickly!
[07:44] ---
I don't think we can help you here.
[07:49] ---
Yes.
[07:51] ---
Um, when someone goes unconscious from a choke
hold, it's important to wake them up quickly.
[07:56] ---
What should we do?
[07:56] ---
Do it now!
[07:57] ---
Does this count as a success?
[08:00] ---
This is clearly a failure.
[08:05] ---
I told you, you have to decide that yourself.
[08:10] ---
I'm on your side whichever you pick.
[08:12] ---
Listen to what people have to
say, but you don't have to do it.
[08:15] ---
Is it my fault that you can't
stick up for yourself, maybe?
[08:23] ---
Then I've got an idea.
[08:31] ---
What, it's just Yaji-san?
[08:33] ---
No, no, no, wait.
[08:35] ---
Why did you come here, yell at me, then give
me a nickname right from Yajikita Douchuuki?
[08:40] ---
I'm only here for Madarame.
[08:42] ---
What's with him?
[08:44] ---
I think he's started to
like it when I choke him.
[08:49] ---
Please do it to me again!
[08:53] ---
Oh, he's a pervert.
[08:54] ---
Of course, I refused, and then...
[08:57] ---
He said, "If I attack Madarame-sempai
again, will you choke me?"
[09:02] ---
What is wrong with him?
[09:05] ---
Hi there.
[09:08] ---
There you are. See, told
you this was the place.
[09:12] ---
Yeah, sempai.
[09:14] ---
This is the guy who asked
about Hato that time.
[09:18] ---
Oh no. Kuchiki-sempai, make
yourself useful for once!
[09:23] ---
Hey!
[09:24] ---
You really are worthless.
[09:26] ---
Hey, question for you. I don't
see you around school often.
[09:30] ---
Are you maybe not a student here?
[09:32] ---
No, um, well...
[09:36] ---
Is this my fault?
[09:39] ---
At a time when Ogiue-sempai,
Ohno-sempai, and Sue are all gone,
[09:43] ---
normals are in here trying to pick
up girls.This is an emergency!
[09:47] ---
I need to do something.
[09:49] ---
Don't be so nervous.
[09:52] ---
I...
[09:54] ---
Hey, now. You don't look
like you belong in here.
[10:01] ---
Who is that?
[10:04] ---
Yoshitake?
[10:05] ---
This is an otaku circle with
a long and proud history.
[10:08] ---
It's no place for normal guys.
[10:12] ---
Huh? Are we the bad guys here?
[10:16] ---
Yeah, sempai.
[10:19] ---
Are you Yoshitake-san's brother?
[10:22] ---
Yeah.
[10:22] ---
Hi there.
[10:23] ---
Yoshitake Rihito. A sophomore at Wasuda
University, and a year older than me.
[10:27] ---
My brother's come to hang out with us!
[10:31] ---
Her brother's pretty
amazing,isn't he, Yajima-san?
[10:35] ---
Yeah, he is.
[10:37] ---
Better than a sempai who
can't even scare people off.
[10:40] ---
Kabincho!
[10:46] ---
He ran off.
[10:48] ---
Don't worry about it, onii-chan.
[10:50] ---
Yajima-san!
[10:51] ---
Shut up! It bothers you too, right?
[10:54] ---
You don't have to turn
your head away, though.
[10:56] ---
Leave me alone.
[10:58] ---
And actually,
[11:00] ---
I can't even stand to look over there!
[11:02] ---
Dang it! I always ignore the cute guys.
[11:06] ---
His timing was just too perfect!
[11:09] ---
Are you really an otaku? You don't look it.
[11:11] ---
No, I'm... hmm. I suppose
my favorite genre is shota?
[11:16] ---
We don't need any comments
like that, onii-chan.
[11:19] ---
I guess if he's Yoshitake's
brother, he can't be normal.
[11:23] ---
But you don't look much like
an otaku either, Hato-san.
[11:27] ---
Those cute clothes really work on you.
[11:29] ---
Thank you.
[11:32] ---
No, I'm happy for the compliment,
but does he know I'm a guy?
[11:39] ---
"Don't tell him"?
[11:41] ---
No, I suppose she means
she hasn't told him yet.
[11:45] ---
Either way, it's best not to talk about it.
[11:51] ---
Oh no, did she realize I was looking at him?
[11:54] ---
She has to know her brother
is popular with girls.
[11:56] ---
I bet she's got a really good
sense for when girls like him.
[12:00] ---
Something seems kind of
wrong about these two.
[12:04] ---
Yajima-san, thanks for always
hanging out with my sister.
[12:09] ---
I-It's okay.
[12:10] ---
She showed me your drawing
in the... magazine, I think?
[12:14] ---
It was very much a student's work, but I
think you may have the greatest potential here.
[12:19] ---
No, no way.
[12:21] ---
Aren't you just being really
polite about saying it sucked?
[12:24] ---
Have more faith in yourself!
[12:26] ---
I-I can't look at him.
[12:28] ---
Now then, you two, since my brother
is here, why don't we go drinking?
[12:32] ---
You can come to my place today.
[12:34] ---
Sure.
[12:36] ---
I guess I could go.
[12:38] ---
Alright, let's go!
[12:43] ---
Don't worry, I'm here.
[12:44] ---
Okay.
[12:46] ---
Hold on a second.
[12:48] ---
What? You're bothering me.
[12:50] ---
My name is Mikami. I'm from the
Circle Leadership Committee.
[12:54] ---
I'd like to ask you some questions.
[12:56] ---
Leadership?
[12:58] ---
We've received some complaints
[13:01] ---
about a woman who is attending circle meetings,
but may not be student at this university.
[13:06] ---
Given her physical description, and that
you appear to be active with Genshiken,
[13:11] ---
I thought it might be you.
[13:14] ---
I apologize if I'm incorrect.
[13:17] ---
But I need to check, just to make sure.
[13:21] ---
First, are you a student at this university?
[13:27] ---
I won't know unless you tell me.
[13:29] ---
What's going on today?
[13:30] ---
There's too many guys around here!
[13:31] ---
Mikami-sempai, I told you I'd look into her!
[13:35] ---
Just let me handle this.
[13:37] ---
Harima, you say that, butyou
haven't done anything.
[13:41] ---
That's why I'm asking now.
[13:43] ---
I'll ask her. I'll ask her!
[13:45] ---
You guys get back to the club room.
[13:48] ---
Fine. You're pushy, you know that?
SIGN Circle Leadership Committee
[13:54] ---
You're with the Leadership Committee?
[13:56] ---
Yeah, I guess.
[13:58] ---
Why didn't you say something?
[14:00] ---
He wasn't trying to pick up girls, after all?
[14:04] ---
Well, if I told you,
[14:08] ---
and then I tried to hit on her,
Mikami-san would get pissed!
[14:12] ---
No, he totally was.
[14:15] ---
Oh well. First, give me your name.
[14:57] ---
Idiot.
[14:59] ---
Harima-san, was it?
[15:01] ---
Y-Yes?
[15:02] ---
If I leave him like this, he's going to die.
[15:05] ---
May I go now, so I can try to wake him up?
[15:10] ---
Yes.
[15:12] ---
Your younger sister?
[15:14] ---
Yes. That's right.
[15:16] ---
My real name is Yoshitake Risa. I'm an
eighteen year old high school senior.
[15:20] ---
I'm a girl.
[15:22] ---
And on the school basketball team!
[15:24] ---
So people always mistake her for a guy.
[15:26] ---
I told her this was a bad idea.
[15:27] ---
I wanted to see how long it'd take
before anyone here figured it out.
[15:31] ---
Well? Had you going, didn't we?
[15:33] ---
Not at all.
[15:34] ---
But it's true that she likes shota.
[15:36] ---
Shut up.
[15:37] ---
Damn it.
[15:39] ---
She's not your year-older brother,
she's your year-younger sister?
[15:42] ---
Who could tell?
[15:43] ---
So we did fool you!
[15:45] ---
No, I'm two years younger.
[15:47] ---
Ow.
[15:49] ---
Her sister is two years younger
and in high school?
[15:52] ---
Which means you weren't just born first.
[15:55] ---
Yeah. I actually took a year off
between high school and college.
[15:58] ---
And since I was born in April, I've
been twenty years old for a while now.
[16:01] ---
[16:02] ---
That's not worth hiding.
Lots of people do that.
[16:06] ---
But...
[16:07] ---
I suppose I let it go on too long,
[16:10] ---
but you really can't keep
dragging out the same joke.
[16:13] ---
Yes. You're absolutely correct, Hato-chin.
[16:16] ---
I didn't want to feel like there
was any distance between us.
[16:19] ---
And most people wouldn't believe
I looked like twenty, you know?
[16:23] ---
Honestly, it's embarrassing.
[16:25] ---
Idiot. Who cares?
[16:27] ---
Yajimacchi.
[16:29] ---
So today, you're paying.
[16:33] ---
The sin of messing with the few
romantic feelings I have left
[16:36] ---
should be punished by death, you know.
[16:39] ---
Even a rotten girl has
her moments of weakness.
[16:42] ---
[16:42] ---
Right.
[16:46] ---
I wish you could've seen
the rest of the club.
[16:49] ---
It's fine.
[16:50] ---
If they saw me, I'd probably
have to join the club.
[16:55] ---
That's more of a sports thing.
It wouldn't happen here.
[16:57] ---
But you're really good at
basketball, right? Why quit?
[17:02] ---
Look at how white it is?
[17:04] ---
Risa-san is a fan of
Kamiyama Seitarou, right?
[17:07] ---
N-No.
[17:09] ---
You look at the TV whenever he's on.
[17:11] ---
Well, he's what got her into shota.
[17:14] ---
You picked a rough time to be into 3D shota.
[17:19] ---
Oh, I mostly collect 2D stuff...
[17:21] ---
And Kamiyama-kun's in middle school already.
[17:26] ---
I'm sure he's not nice and smooth anymore!
[17:31] ---
What were we talking about?
[17:33] ---
Never mind.
[17:34] ---
Well, it's not that she
wants to quit basketball.
[17:37] ---
If she really didn't like it, she
would've quit a long time ago.
[17:40] ---
But between games and training camps,
[17:43] ---
she's never gotten to go to a Comic
Festival, or an "only event".
[17:47] ---
Either way, she needs to make
her own decision about it.
[17:50] ---
But I thought coming to the club might help.
[17:56] ---
So was there a reason why you
made her pretend to be a guy?
[17:59] ---
Of course not.
[18:01] ---
Well? Anything else you want to see?
[18:06] ---
Actually...
[18:08] ---
I'd like to see Hato-san as a guy, I think.
[18:12] ---
W-Why?
[18:15] ---
I want to know how much
effort you put into this
[18:19] ---
just so you can hang out
with the rotten girls.
[18:23] ---
That sounds like something
a sports player might think.
[18:26] ---
Yeah.
[18:30] ---
But it's not happening.
[18:33] ---
[18:34] ---
It was months before we got
to see Hato without makeup.
[18:38] ---
She can't show it to you
the first day you meet her.
[18:41] ---
Anyway, that aside...
[18:43] ---
Hey, wait!
[18:44] ---
What do you think, Hato-chan?
[18:45] ---
I think it could be really inspiring for her,
since she never puts in any effort herself.
[18:50] ---
It's the perfect chance to
get a new point of view.
[18:56] ---
So as her sister, I'd
appreciate it if you could.
[18:59] ---
I guess.
[19:02] ---
Perhaps some other time.
[19:04] ---
Non non! Right now.
[19:07] ---
You've got your change of
clothes and makeup, right?
[19:10] ---
But in someone else's house...
[19:12] ---
The bathroom's right over there.
[19:14] ---
Get going.
[19:16] ---
Hey, don't force her.
[19:22] ---
I'll go take a shower then.
[19:25] ---
Go on. Take your time and transform.
[19:33] ---
Now then...
[19:34] ---
No.
[19:34] ---
Risa?
[19:36] ---
I'm sorry, Yajimacchi-san, I have
to do whatever my sister says!
[19:39] ---
That's right! If you don't want me
to share your secrets, do what I say!
[19:44] ---
Are you serious, Yoshitake?
[19:46] ---
Totes serious!
[19:49] ---
So creepy...
[19:50] ---
Yajimacchi, have you resolved
your doubts about Hato-chan?
[19:56] ---
Like what it looks like,
or... what it looks like?
[19:59] ---
Or what it looks like?!
[20:01] ---
You did try to look up her skirt.
[20:05] ---
Forget that!
[20:08] ---
Really?
[20:09] ---
A rotten girl's got a right to her fantasies,
but she needs something to fantasize about.
[20:13] ---
What--
[20:13] ---
And right beyond this door
is the ultimate ingredient!
[20:22] ---
Don't underestimate a fat
chick's muscles, Yoshitake!
[20:26] ---
Yajimacchi?
[20:45] ---
Sorry!
[20:55] ---
They didn't see it?
[20:58] ---
Just me? And it was real? And...
[21:02] ---
Silk--
[21:02] ---
Silk--
[21:03] ---
S-Silky-smooth.
[21:05] ---
Silky-smooth!
[21:07] ---
What was silky-smooth?
[21:11] ---
Lose your memories!
[21:15] ---
Hato never did come out of the bathroom,
[21:18] ---
so we were forced to end for the day.
[21:21] ---
P.S. Yoshitake's little sister decided to
take the entrance exam for Shiiou University.
[21:27] ---
From the diary of Yajima Mirei.
SIGN Preview
[23:10] ---
Yoshitake-san, is it true that
your sister is a hot guy?
[23:13] ---
It's true. Here, look.
[23:15] ---
Why didn't you call me?
[23:17] ---
Think of the cosplay possibilities!
[23:19] ---
With her dressed as a guy?
[23:20] ---
Like that character or this
character... Tanaka-san!
[23:23] ---
She might be coming to our school next year.
[23:25] ---
We've got Hato-kun so we can do
male and female crossdressing!
[23:28] ---
They can complement each other!
[23:30] ---
There's all kinds of possibilities!
[23:31] ---
I can't wait!
[23:33] ---
Um, won't you be graduating
next year, Ohno-sempai?
[23:36] ---
Next time on Genshiken: Second Generation:

[00:01] ---
So let's get back to basics.
[00:03] ---
It's not that simple.
[00:05] ---
You really didn't see?
[00:07] ---
I didn't. And I forgot it!
[00:09] ---
If you forgot it,
you'll remember it later!
[00:12] ---
So what did you remember?
[00:13] ---
Shut up, you!
[00:16] ---
Oh, it's been a while, Sasahara-sempai.
[00:19] ---
Yo.
[00:19] ---
Hello there.
[00:21] ---
Oh, hello.
[00:22] ---
Hello.
[00:23] ---
So like I said, it's good to keep
the existence of the reader in mind.
[00:28] ---
The whole point is to share
something with the reader, after all.
[00:32] ---
Yes.
[00:33] ---
But what you can't forget is that the
author herself is the most important reader.
[00:38] ---
If you don't think it's
interesting, nobody else will.
[00:43] ---
Yes.
[00:44] ---
Sure, once a work is out there,
it's not just yours anymore.
[00:47] ---
T-This seems important.
[00:51] ---
But until a work is written,
nobody can even complain about it.
[00:54] ---
That's right.
[00:56] ---
Sempai's manga for Afternoon
[00:58] ---
got trashed by the online fans.
[01:01] ---
Okay, I'm heading back to work now.
[01:03] ---
You're still on the clock?
[01:05] ---
Oh, uh... I just came back to the
club room to pick up a few things.
[01:09] ---
Bye.
[01:10] ---
Bye!
[01:11] ---
See you.
[01:18] ---
Um...
[01:19] ---
I wanted to talk to him about my manga.
[01:23] ---
So I had him come here. Don't worry about it.
[01:26] ---
Anyway, we're here today to talk
about our plans for the school fair.
[01:30] ---
We're gonna cosplay again!
[01:32] ---
The Cross-Dressing Way!
[01:34] ---
Survival Strategy!
[01:35] ---
Yes, we're doing it!
So don't dress like that outside!
[01:39] ---
What are these outfits?
[01:40] ---
They're too into it.
[03:13] ---
A special issue of
Mebaetame for the school fair?
[03:16] ---
Yes, the topic can be the school fair.
[03:19] ---
We'll use B5 paper, bigger than usual,
with as many pages as we can manage.
[03:24] ---
And sell it, right?
[03:25] ---
Yes.
[03:27] ---
Um... are we allowed to sell it?
[03:30] ---
I think it'll be okay,
but Genshiken's never done that.
[03:37] ---
A club magazine at the school fair?
[03:39] ---
Hmm... I think a few of
ours haven't been free.
[03:43] ---
Last year we did a maid cafe,
so we didn't draw anything.
[03:47] ---
But when I was a freshman,
I think we sold mags for about 100 yen.
[03:52] ---
The Manga Club? I dunno.
[03:55] ---
They probably haven't started anything yet.
[03:59] ---
See ya.
[04:01] ---
Of course you don't know.
[04:04] ---
'Cause you got kicked out of that club!
[04:08] ---
For doing stuff with Ogi-sempai's circle.
[04:11] ---
Comic Festival sealed your fate.
[04:14] ---
I knew it was coming.
And I feel good about it!
[04:17] ---
You should just join Genshiken!
[04:19] ---
Not happening. Ever.
[04:21] ---
You should join a new circle too.
Maybe Genshiken.
[04:26] ---
Why are you laughing?
[04:30] ---
KOIBANA3
[04:33] ---
Looks like it's okay.
[04:35] ---
Will this book just be
manga and illustrations?
[04:38] ---
No. Text, pictures, whatever.
[04:42] ---
Anything's okay.
[04:43] ---
Maybe I'll write a story then!
[04:45] ---
What?
[04:46] ---
Ooh!
[04:47] ---
Are you a writer?
[04:49] ---
Nope, never tried it.
[04:52] ---
What?
[04:53] ---
But when I watch at you guys,
[04:55] ---
it makes me want to create my own stuff too.
[04:58] ---
I know! Let's make something
together, Yajimacchi!
[05:01] ---
Huh?
[05:02] ---
I'll write a story, and you can do
the illustrations! How about it?
[05:07] ---
She's right. It might be better
to make her take half the blame
[05:09] ---
than do something original,
and embarrass myself alone!
[05:13] ---
Got any ideas?
[05:15] ---
Hmm... let me see.
The topic's the school fair.
[05:19] ---
A Warring States School Fair!
[05:21] ---
I was an idiot to ask.
[05:23] ---
What? Why? A school in the middle of its fair
[05:26] ---
is transported through time, building
and all, into the middle of Sekigahara.
[05:29] ---
It's super moe!
[05:31] ---
There's no point in having
it be a school fair, then!
[05:33] ---
It could just be a normal high school!
[05:35] ---
The title, to me, suggests a school where
all the warring states generals attend...
[05:38] ---
There's lots of those!
[05:41] ---
The theme could be one of a
never-ending school fair...
[05:44] ---
I remember when I used to
work on projects like that.
[05:47] ---
I did it a lot in middle school.
[05:50] ---
They usually don't work out, though.
[05:52] ---
Good luck, guys!
[05:56] ---
What about you, Hato-kun?
[05:57] ---
Right!
[05:58] ---
If we put out a book,
will you draw something for it?
[06:00] ---
Um...
[06:03] ---
BL isn't allowed, right?
[06:06] ---
As long as it's appropriate for
all ages, some BL would be okay.
[06:10] ---
Some... "some," is it?
[06:14] ---
Yes. From my perspective,
the biggest mystery about Hato-kun
[06:17] ---
isn't her cross-dressing or
love of BL. It's her art.
[06:21] ---
Everything she draws for Mebaetame
is BL in a shoujo manga style.
[06:25] ---
It's all pro or better, and
most of it is very extreme!
[06:28] ---
But when she was my assistant,
[06:32] ---
all the backgrounds she
drew were very realistic.
[06:35] ---
Hato-kun has the ability to switch styles,
[06:38] ---
and is skilled at both
design and sketching.
[06:41] ---
She must have a lot of experience
drawing with a crow quill pen and ink.
[06:45] ---
And yet, all I've seen from her are
cuts and single illustrations.
[06:50] ---
I've never seen her write a full manga.
[06:53] ---
Maybe she hasn't written one?
No, that's impossible.
[06:58] ---
If she has, maybe she's better than me?
[07:03] ---
Hato-kun...
[07:04] ---
Yes?
[07:04] ---
I'd really like to read a manga by you.
[07:24] ---
I'm sorry. Can I think about it a little?
[07:31] ---
Divide the page into panels.
[07:34] ---
Sketch it out.
[07:53] ---
Okay, this time...
[08:00] ---
Why does this always happen?
[08:03] ---
That's right.
[08:05] ---
When you're dressed as a girl,
you can only draw extreme BL scenes,
[08:08] ---
and when you're not,
you can only draw special manga
[08:11] ---
about special characters.
[08:15] ---
After what I said to Hato-kun...
[08:18] ---
I can't draw a thing.
[08:25] ---
What?
[08:27] ---
"If you're tired, rest your head on my lap?"
[08:30] ---
I guess it couldn't hurt.
[08:40] ---
What?
[08:42] ---
If you say anything embarrassing
in your sleep, I'll punish you.
[08:44] ---
Is that from some anime?
[08:48] ---
Like "Sasahara-san..."?
[08:55] ---
I'm sorry, I was kidding!
I'd never say anything so embarrassing!
[09:00] ---
You know I wouldn't!
[09:02] ---
Then change places...
[09:05] ---
Look at this quality research material!
[09:08] ---
No way! I can't draw armor!
[09:10] ---
I'm sorry. It looks like writing
a manga is going to be too hard.
[09:15] ---
I see. What about
Yoshitake-san and Yajima-san?
[09:19] ---
We've broken up due to
irreconcilable creative differences!
[09:24] ---
Her ideas are too stupid to draw.
[09:27] ---
Why? The space samurai
cavalry are the Eastern Army,
[09:30] ---
the school transforms into a super
weapon for the Western Army,
[09:33] ---
and they fight at Osaka Castle!
[09:34] ---
You just made that up to be a jerk!
[09:36] ---
You got stubborn and made the
story even more ridiculous.
[09:38] ---
Oh my! Does it look like the Mebaetame
School Fair Special isn't happening?
[09:44] ---
Then why don't we just...
[09:46] ---
...all have a cosplay photo shoot!
[09:48] ---
We will not!
[09:49] ---
Well, if all else fails,
[09:51] ---
I'm sure Ogi-sempai will
write 50 pages by herself.
[09:58] ---
Huh?
[10:00] ---
I-I was sure Hato-kun would draw something.
[10:05] ---
Not happening, is it? Sorry.
[10:08] ---
Um, to tell you the truth...
[10:12] ---
Your art changes...
[10:15] ---
...depending on how you're dressed?
[10:16] ---
Yes.
[10:19] ---
When I'm a girl I can only
draw really extreme stuff.
[10:22] ---
Wait, wait, wait. When you were
sempai's assistant you were a guy.
[10:27] ---
I was just drawing
backgrounds so it worked out.
[10:32] ---
Do you have anything you drew as a guy?
[10:34] ---
I did bring it, but...
[10:37] ---
It's really very different.
SIGN Where should I go?
[10:42] ---
No way. You're joking.
[10:45] ---
There's no way somebody
drawing stuff like this
[10:47] ---
could change just by putting
on women's clothing.
[10:50] ---
You're not wrong, but... it's true.
[10:55] ---
Before school started I was
practicing cross-dressing.
[10:57] ---
I decided to try and draw something,
and it was like a limiter turned off.
[11:01] ---
I suddenly was able to draw BL
pictures like I was possessed.
[11:05] ---
Um, I've heard of something
causing a change in style,
[11:08] ---
or to get better...
but changing that much...
[11:13] ---
Cross-dressing might be like some kind
of self-hypnosis switch for her.
[11:18] ---
Is that possible?
[11:19] ---
When you look at Hato-kun, what do you think?
[11:22] ---
She's such a perfect girl that it feels
like she's put herself under hypnosis.
[11:27] ---
The cross-dressing and voice
change are just a trigger.
[11:30] ---
What makes her amazing
is locked away inside.
[11:33] ---
Maybe that's what transforms her
[11:35] ---
into the ideal rotten girl
that she wants to be.
[11:40] ---
Ideal rotten girl?
[11:44] ---
And it just so happens that part of that
ideal is being good at drawing BL.
[11:49] ---
I don't get it.
[11:51] ---
So she tricks herself
into being good?
[11:52] ---
Maybe.
[11:54] ---
Come to think of it... even when she
was asleep, she had a girl's voice.
[11:58] ---
That isn't normal.
[12:01] ---
But I just saw for sure that
she's 100% a guy the other day.
[12:09] ---
So how does this work?
[12:11] ---
You can't just draw a clean BL manga?
[12:15] ---
It's always just the dirty parts?
[12:18] ---
Yes. That's right.
[12:20] ---
I forget myself and start
ignoring the panel divisions.
[12:25] ---
That's not going to work.
Let's all just cosplay instead.
[12:29] ---
That's right!
[12:31] ---
E-Even if you're okay with
that, I don't think...
[12:33] ---
N-n-n-n-nu-nu-PICCON!
[12:37] ---
What's that supposed to be?
[12:38] ---
You do the layouts.
[12:40] ---
You draw the pictures.
[12:41] ---
Huh?
[12:43] ---
Does that mean...
[12:45] ---
...we work together?
[12:50] ---
Um, freshmen girls...
let me ask you some questions.
[12:54] ---
When you were in high school,
[12:58] ---
did you ever fall in love?
[13:00] ---
Huh?
[13:01] ---
Huh?!
[13:03] ---
Wow, a twofer.
[13:05] ---
Um... whether or not I do
a manga with Hato-kun...
[13:10] ---
I wanted to try a different
genre than I usually do,
[13:12] ---
and do a romance manga set
at a high school culture fair.
[13:18] ---
But I didn't do anything like
that when I was in high school.
[13:22] ---
I didn't even have any friends.
[13:25] ---
You guys were high school
students not that long ago,
[13:28] ---
so I'd like to hear if you have
any love stories to tell me.
[13:31] ---
No, no, Ogi-sempai. I'm sorry, since
everybody probably sees this coming,
[13:34] ---
but while I had passions
in 2D and from history,
[13:39] ---
do you really think any of us have
ever been in love? Right, Yajimacchi?
[13:43] ---
Yeah... I guess so.
[13:49] ---
Okay, Yajimacchi. DOUBT!
[13:51] ---
What do you doubt?
[13:52] ---
Why are you being so indirect?
[13:54] ---
And you looked away too! It's obvious!
[13:57] ---
I'll bring out my stash of the
good snacks, so out with it!
[14:01] ---
Are we going to have a tea party? HTT?
[14:04] ---
If we leave it to Yoshitake-san,
it'll probably work out.
[14:07] ---
You really suck.
[14:11] ---
You're an asshole.
Who cares what you think?
[14:15] ---
No, no, that's Zora from Ten
Piece. I really like him.
[14:21] ---
Ten Piece is just too popular.
[14:24] ---
I'm better. Gimme that pen.
[14:32] ---
I win.
[14:33] ---
I'm humiliated!
[14:35] ---
Well, I bet he practiced when he was a kid.
[14:42] ---
Hey, you suck.
[14:45] ---
You suck.
[14:46] ---
Sucky!
[14:48] ---
Why do people call you "Sucky," Yajima?
[14:51] ---
I don't know!
[14:57] ---
I'm glad I ended up in
your class again, Mirei.
[15:01] ---
Yeah.
[15:05] ---
I heard he's in class C.
[15:12] ---
I went to the convienence store yesterday...
[15:15] ---
Hey, Yajima.
[15:20] ---
Bye.
[15:23] ---
Yeah.
[15:25] ---
That was our last conversation.
[15:28] ---
No, no, Yajimacchi. Wait a second.
[15:31] ---
What?
[15:32] ---
It's hard to say this, but...
[15:35] ---
Wasn't that just bullying?
"My classmates gave me a mean nickname!"
[15:40] ---
I thought so at the time.
[15:43] ---
But he took it back in the end.
[15:49] ---
What do you think of us, sempai?
[15:52] ---
Our bar for "romance" is set way too low!
[15:56] ---
And what's worse, is even as far
as Yajimacchi's lowered the bar,
[16:00] ---
I still can't clear it!
[16:02] ---
I spent every day in the history club,
[16:05] ---
getting into arguments about
history, otaku, and BL!
[16:09] ---
So our last hope is Hato-chan!
[16:14] ---
What's wrong, Hato-chan? You're bright red!
[16:16] ---
Am I?
[16:18] ---
Has there been anything in this
story that'd make somebody blush?
[16:21] ---
What? What happened?
[16:23] ---
No. Either way, I mean...
[16:26] ---
I can't really help you...
I've never dated anyone.
[16:31] ---
And I've never even talked
to anyone about it.
[16:33] ---
When Yajima said, "He was
better at drawing than me,"
[16:37] ---
she turned three times redder than normal!
[16:39] ---
Drawing?
[16:40] ---
Good eye, Sue-san!
[16:43] ---
What does that mean?
[16:45] ---
It means something happened when
Hato-chan was in high school.
[16:49] ---
Does it have to do with drawing?
[16:51] ---
Ogi-sempai's taken the bait!
[16:53] ---
And Sue-san's got the snacks!
She won't give them to anyone!
[16:56] ---
Nobody cares!
[16:58] ---
Come on, Hato-chan, I'll give
you this Godiver chocolate.
[17:01] ---
What? That looks expensive.
[17:02] ---
You want it, Yajimacchi?
[17:03] ---
No, forget it.
[17:04] ---
Okay then. Here you go, Hato-chan.
[17:07] ---
Um, well... when I was in high school...
[17:12] ---
High school?
[17:13] ---
That's right, when she was in high school...
[17:15] ---
Yeah, when you were in high school?
[17:17] ---
Wait, Yoshitake!
[17:19] ---
What?
[17:20] ---
Well, um...
[17:23] ---
You remember what happened when
she was in high school, right?
[17:26] ---
We heard something bad happened, right?
[17:28] ---
When people found
out she was into BL?
[17:31] ---
Yeah. When she came out about it
in the art club, she got bullied.
[17:35] ---
Yeah, that. So, well...
[17:38] ---
Let's not dig too deep into that, huh?
[17:41] ---
Oh, but I wanted to hear more about that too.
[17:45] ---
Would they really bully you
just for being a guy into BL?
[17:49] ---
We found out about it the very first day,
[17:54] ---
and we didn't care.
[17:56] ---
You were actually insistent
that she come as a guy.
[18:02] ---
The first time I heard Hato's story,
I thought it was strange.
[18:06] ---
Now, high school and college
can be pretty different.
[18:09] ---
But I still thought to myself,
[18:12] ---
"I'm sure there's romance involved."
[18:16] ---
No... I don't think that was it.
[18:20] ---
Maybe the girls were fighting over
you, and you didn't know about it.
[18:25] ---
You're a cute guy too, Hato-chan,
[18:29] ---
so I wouldn't be surprised
if you were popular.
[18:31] ---
No, that wasn't true at all.
[18:34] ---
I think the girls just
thought I was pathetic.
[18:37] ---
And the guys?
[18:39] ---
My guess is that there were
guys fighting over you too,
[18:42] ---
and that's part of why you had trouble.
[18:45] ---
What about you? You're always stylish,
you had to have been popular!
[18:50] ---
You don't get it, Hato-chan.
[18:53] ---
Huh?
[18:55] ---
You don't dress stylishly or
put on makeup to impress guys.
[18:58] ---
You do it to keep other girls in their place.
[19:02] ---
When you dress up, do you pay more
attention to how girls or guys react?
[19:06] ---
You're right! I pay more
attention to the girls!
[19:10] ---
Right? That's how it works.
[19:12] ---
So why not tell me everything, huh?
[19:15] ---
It might help Ogi-sempai.
[19:18] ---
Huh?
[19:19] ---
Oh, right. I was the one who brought this up.
[19:23] ---
But I don't know about this.
[19:27] ---
I thought I was bailing her out!
[19:34] ---
But I still...
[19:39] ---
...don't want to talk about it.
[19:41] ---
Manabu!
[19:47] ---
Hey, everybody's here.
Of course you are, it's a meeting!
[19:51] ---
So I've decided on my
cosplay for the school fair.
[19:54] ---
Tell Miss Tanaka for me.
[19:57] ---
I'll be a pair with Hato-chan.
[19:59] ---
No cross-dressing for you.
[20:01] ---
Why?
[20:02] ---
The trap phenomenon
[20:04] ---
is on the cutting edge of
modern visual culture!
[20:08] ---
I can't deny that, but...
[20:10] ---
When you do it, it's just
"creepy otaku" stuff.
[20:12] ---
People don't need more
excuses to insult otaku.
[20:15] ---
And Hato-kun's not cosplaying this time.
[20:18] ---
Why?
[20:19] ---
Hato-kun is hiding her identity,
[20:22] ---
so she can't stand out while she's on campus.
[20:25] ---
She can't show up as a guy, either, so
she'll be cross-dressing in plain clothes.
[20:30] ---
Yes.
[20:31] ---
Give it up, please.
[20:33] ---
I-I can't believe it!
[20:34] ---
By the way, Kucchi-sempai.
[20:38] ---
Do you have any tales of
romance from high school?
[20:41] ---
I do.
[20:45] ---
Ventura, Ventura--
[20:46] ---
Sempai?
[20:49] ---
W-W-Would you go out with me?

[20:55] ---
And so...
[20:56] ---
some girl I didn't know asked me
out in my last year of high school.
[21:00] ---
And we're done! If I hear this I won't
be able to draw anything ever again!
[21:04] ---
We're doing standard anime-style manga!
[21:07] ---
Let's clean up.
[21:08] ---
W-What's this? I sense a mood of disrespect.
[21:12] ---
A very disrespectful mood!
[21:14] ---
That's weird. He wasn't trying, but...
[21:17] ---
...Kuchiki-sempai ended up saving me.
[21:20] ---
So how long did you date her?
[21:24] ---
The next day she said, "Never mind."
I spoke to her for less than three minutes.

[23:13] ---
With Ogiue there, of course they are!

[00:01] ---
It's not fair! It's just not fair!
[00:04] ---
The two of them are working
together? It's not fair!
[00:08] ---
They're so much better
than us, all I can do is laugh.
[00:13] ---
But they don't seem to have actually
decided whether or not they'll do it.
[00:17] ---
And we don't know what's up
with sempai's rough draft.
[00:21] ---
If it happens, we totally lose.
[00:26] ---
I thought about this when
Hato talked about her drawing,
[00:29] ---
but do you have some
kind of problem with them?
[00:32] ---
No. Well, not exactly.
[00:37] ---
To put it simply,
[00:39] ---
Yajimacchi, you are really amazing.
[00:42] ---
[00:43] ---
When we started our little
attempt at a "creative process,"
[00:48] ---
I realized how hard it really is.
[00:51] ---
I know I should've known already,
but I realized that I have no talent.
[00:54] ---
So they scared me!
[00:58] ---
When I heard we might not do
our special edition of the magazine,
[01:01] ---
I honestly felt pretty relieved.
[01:04] ---
You...
[01:07] ---
But you don't even hide
how bad your work sucks!
[01:11] ---
...are an asshole.
[01:12] ---
You talk about the complex
you have towards Hato-chan,
[01:15] ---
but every issue you still
draw a picture. A crappy picture!
[01:19] ---
Was it so important that
you had to say it twice?
[01:23] ---
Even if I drop out, you'll still
draw something, won't you?
[01:28] ---
Well, probably.
[01:30] ---
Then I can't drop out, I guess.
[01:33] ---
Why not? Do what you want!
[01:36] ---
You're not a pro like Ogiue-sempai.
[01:39] ---
Ogi-sempai, huh?
[01:41] ---
I wonder what she's going to draw.
[01:44] ---
The romance talk we had
didn't help with anything.
[01:48] ---
And I'm a bit worried about her pro work.
[01:52] ---
Shut up. Worry about yourself, not others.
[01:56] ---
What?
[01:58] ---
Decide if you're doing
something with me or not.
[02:01] ---
I want to, but...
[02:04] ---
Then don't come up with ridiculously grand
backstories until you've figured out a plot!
[02:09] ---
Make something small!
[02:11] ---
But you have to dream big!
[02:13] ---
That's how you end up
with absolutely nothing!
[02:16] ---
There's no point unless you finish it!
[02:19] ---
Yajimacchi is being mean.
[03:57] ---
If you don't think it's
interesting, nobody will.
[04:04] ---
Maybe that's why Sue said
I need a change of pace.
[04:08] ---
Pikkon!
[04:09] ---
You make the draft! You draw the pictures!
[04:15] ---
Hato-kun's art on top of my layouts...
[04:20] ---
There's a Route, but There's No Loop.
[04:26] ---
If Ogiue-sempai writes the draft,
[04:29] ---
then she'll do the layouts, so
maybe I could do the finished art.
[04:35] ---
It's true that I've always wanted
to draw a manga in that style.
[04:42] ---
But that style is just a copy of theirs.
[04:48] ---
And I can't do it unless
I'm dressed like a girl.
[05:00] ---
The ideal rotten girl that I want to
be, that Ohno-sempai was talking about,
[05:05] ---
definitely isn't her.
[05:07] ---
It's not me?
[05:09] ---
It's true that I never see
her when I'm cross-dressing.
[05:13] ---
But her personality is too different from
the original for me to want to be her.
[05:16] ---
Okay, back to being the
wonderful underclassman
[05:19] ---
who hasn't seen his sempai in a long time,
but still cleans up his apartment!
[05:23] ---
Start with the dirty books!
[05:26] ---
You can keep your mouth
shut, so I'm going to clean.
[05:34] ---
It's true I haven't seen
him for a while, though.
[05:39] ---
And the next thing I see is an H-game.
SIGN Seven and a Half Laps to Paradise
[05:45] ---
Wait, isn't this...
[05:47] ---
The trap game that Kohsaka-sempai
was advertising at Comic Festival?
[05:56] ---
[05:56] ---
It's the character he was cosplaying!
[05:58] ---
Does this character have any?
[06:00] ---
I'm sure it has H-scenes!
It has to have H-scenes! H-scenes!
[06:04] ---

[06:05] ---
Don't keep yelling that!

Makoto Kohsaka, a naughty
little boy who dresses like a girl?
SIGN
[06:12] ---
The name too? The staff got way too into it!
[06:16] ---
No, no, it's perfect!
[06:18] ---
Shut up!
[06:20] ---
Did Madarame-sempai
play it already, I wonder?
[06:24] ---
Did he finish the
Kohsaka-sempai route? I bet he did!
[06:28] ---
Then maybe...
[06:30] ---
Kohsaka-sempai asked Madarame-sempai
what he thought about it?
[06:34] ---
No, I bet Kohsaka-sempai pressured him
into saying what he thought about it!
[06:39] ---
Which means...
[06:41] ---
Like this?
[06:44] ---
Did you enjoy my route?
[06:47] ---
It was okay, I guess.
[06:50] ---
I'm glad. It looks like you were satisfied.
[06:53] ---
No... yes.
[06:57] ---
If you want,
[06:58] ---
I can do the same things I did in
the game while wearing this costume.
[07:06] ---
And that's your cue!
[07:08] ---
If he was interested in traps, I
could tell him all about them.
[07:14] ---
What are you making me say?
[07:16] ---
Perfect! Too perfect!
[07:18] ---
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
[07:20] ---
I'll change clothes so you go away.
[07:22] ---
Don't be so mean.
[07:26] ---
Those words came out because
you were thinking them.
[07:29] ---
I said shut up!
[07:33] ---
Huh?
[07:35] ---
Oh, Hato-kun? You here?
[07:44] ---
S-Sorry!
[07:47] ---
I wouldn't mind showing you everything...
[07:56] ---
Say it! Say it! Say it!
[07:58] ---
I can show you everything!
In private lessons!
[08:01] ---
And we'll have the initiative!
A traditional top/bottom pairing!
[08:05] ---
[08:06] ---
Enough! Stop fantasizing!
[08:09] ---
There's more!
[08:10] ---
I know! But I don't need it!
[08:12] ---
Why?
[08:16] ---
Sorry! I'm still changing!
[08:21] ---
Oh, sorry. I'll go take
a walk around the block.
[08:25] ---
I'm sorry!
[08:26] ---
Send me a text when you're done.
[08:31] ---
Perfect timing!
[08:33] ---
That's a go sign! A go sign!
[08:35] ---
Oh no! I need to get rid of her or
who knows what she'll make me say!
[08:39] ---
And why is sempai home so early today?
[08:44] ---
I see... it's really been a long time
[08:46] ---
since I've actually met sempai.
[08:54] ---
I was a little too early, huh?
[08:56] ---
Hato-kun's still there at this time of day.
[08:59] ---
Let's go home!
[09:00] ---
Let's take Effort Street!
[09:03] ---
Lately there hasn't been much
work, so I'm leaving early a lot.
[09:08] ---
I wonder if our company's okay.
It's a depression, after all.
[09:12] ---
Is my bonus going to go down again?
[09:16] ---
Maybe I won't get one!

Things have been pretty bad lately.
[09:24] ---
There it is.

[09:38] ---

wait, you can go ahead and leave.

was wondering if we could chat for a bit.

So how's your collaboration going?
[10:23] ---
I'm waiting to hear back from Hato-kun.
[10:26] ---
Come to think of it, she's late
today. Maybe she's not coming.
[10:30] ---
So could we do a gag strip?
[10:33] ---
That would make the writing more important
than the drawing. You up for that?
[10:38] ---
If it's Warring States
jokes, I bet I could do it.
[10:41] ---
Seriously?
[10:44] ---
Looks like they came together.
[10:54] ---
Um, then...
[10:56] ---
I can't make her sit on the bed.
[10:59] ---
She was a guy last time,
so it didn't matter, but...
[11:02] ---
No, she's still a guy.
[11:06] ---
She just smells nice.
[11:08] ---
What am I doing?
[11:10] ---
Sit down here. I'll sit over there.
[11:14] ---
Okay.
[11:17] ---
[11:19] ---
I noticed that when I got here.
[11:22] ---
Did you?
[11:24] ---
I was changing here.
[11:27] ---
You usually leave your doujinshi
lying around anyway.
[11:31] ---
So, well...
[11:33] ---
I think it's normal for
a guy to do those things.
[11:37] ---
Don't worry about it.
[11:39] ---
[11:41] ---
This situation's like one you'd see in
a harem game or a light novel, isn't it?
[11:46] ---
Or one where the title's
written with four hiragana.
[11:48] ---
Or maybe something like Me and My (Male)
Underclassman Do Something or Other?
[11:54] ---
I'm sorry... I kind of did that deliberately.
[11:57] ---
I thought I had to.
[12:00] ---
You don't play H-games, Hato-kun?
You've got a PC, right?
[12:04] ---
No. I've never tried one.
[12:06] ---
They're hard to get into,
and they're not cheap.
[12:10] ---
True. They're usually around 10,000 yen.
[12:14] ---
Buying clothes and makeup
takes most of my money.
[12:18] ---
Clothes, huh?
[12:19] ---
I tried to buy nice clothes once.
[12:23] ---
It was rough.
[12:25] ---
You did?
[12:26] ---
H-games may be expensive,
[12:28] ---
but I seriously don't know how someone pays
twenty or thirty thousand yen for a shirt.
[12:32] ---
The nice part of being a salaryman is that
you don't have to worry about your outfit.
[12:36] ---
You just have to wear a necktie.
[12:45] ---
I...
[12:47] ---
BL stuff is all I can afford.
[12:52] ---
Then you're interested.
[12:55] ---
Want to borrow this one?
[12:57] ---
I didn't want to bring this up,
[13:01] ---
but isn't that the game Kohsaka-sempai
was selling at Comic Festival?
[13:04] ---
And isn't it a trap game?
[13:07] ---
Oh, I didn't mean this one specifically!
[13:09] ---
I've got others, like DUCKY or UNDUCKY
and Le Eden de la Grizzly Bear.
[13:13] ---
Any kind of H-Game you want!
[13:15] ---
Right...
[13:16] ---
Oh, uh, sorry. This is totally sexual
harrassment, isn't it? Never mind.
[13:23] ---
If you want, I can let you borrow it, but...
[13:25] ---
No, I couldn't!
[13:27] ---
But if you could tell me what you
thought about it, that would be fine.
[13:30] ---
I see.
[13:32] ---
Yeah... it's not the game I'm interested in.
[13:36] ---
It's what Madarame-sempai thought about it!
[13:39] ---
What I thought...
[13:41] ---
Well, I cleared a few of the routes,
and the biggest surprise was...
[13:45] ---
I think all of them get
pregnant in the ending.
[13:48] ---
I-Is that so?
[13:50] ---
Seriously. They just get pregnant.
No explanation at all.
[13:54] ---
Traps are amazing.
[13:57] ---
Well, they totally look like girls!
[14:00] ---
In a way, they're a totally new
gender. I guess it's pure fantasy.
[14:05] ---
In BL, guys get pregnant all the time.
[14:08] ---
But I shouldn't say that now.
It would just confuse him.
[14:12] ---
How was it as a game?
[14:14] ---
A pretty typical H-game, I guess.
[14:17] ---
Well, I've never played one, but...
[14:21] ---
Um... H-games are
sometimes really sad, but...
[14:25] ---
The usual reason you play one is...
[14:32] ---
It was a normal H-game that way too.
[14:35] ---
Very usable.
[14:36] ---
Really?
[14:38] ---
The characters are lolis and
have pigtails, the same as any girl.
[14:42] ---
Basically they're just
flat-chested characters.
[14:45] ---
No...
[14:45] ---
The way you play it is no different
than any other H-game.
[14:49] ---
I guess some of the things you do with them
because they're traps would be the same as in BL.
[14:52] ---
The same?
[14:54] ---
In BL, the character is a guy, but in a
sex scene, he's basically a girl, right?
[14:59] ---
Am I wrong?
[15:00] ---
Some women tend to view
it in terms of gender theory.
[15:05] ---
Huh.
[15:06] ---
Anyway...
[15:08] ---
Forget BL. What's more important is...
[15:12] ---
Sempai!
[15:14] ---
Did you clear Kohsaka-sempai's route?
[15:17] ---
Ah, there it is.
[15:19] ---
This character, eh?
[15:22] ---
Pregnancy ending! And in
a maternity wedding dress!
[15:27] ---
W-What?
[15:30] ---
That's how far the two
of them go in the game?
[15:32] ---
They aren't just going to mimic
what they did in the game!
[15:35] ---
It's coming! It's coming! The two
of them are going to get married!
[15:41] ---
Huh? But does that make it a reverse
coupling instead of Koh x Mada? Mada x Koh?
[15:45] ---
I didn't like that character much.
[15:47] ---
Her lines were all stuff I
could see Kohsaka saying.
[15:51] ---
Yeah?
[15:52] ---
So, I should make this clear.
[15:55] ---
What?
[15:57] ---
I could NOT get off to the Kohsaka character!
[16:00] ---
Seriously.
[16:02] ---
I see.
[16:04] ---
Too bad! Well, I'll
fantasize about it anyway.
[16:07] ---
This company... I wonder
about them. They kind of scare me.
[16:13] ---
They are totally not
going for mass market appeal.
[16:17] ---
I wonder if Kasukabe-san
knows about these kinds of games.
[16:24] ---
I wonder how she'd feel if she knew her
boyfriend was the model for an H-game character.
[16:29] ---
I see! If because of this game,
[16:32] ---
Kohsaka-sempai and Kasukabe-sempai's
relationship was strained...
[16:36] ---
Madarame-sempai's got the
chance to make a comeback!
[16:39] ---
Wait, maybe he said that because he's
thinking about it right now! What should I do?
[16:44] ---
But would that be the end of the
Mada x Koh marriage ceremony?
[16:49] ---
What a waste!
[16:50] ---
I need to think of a Koh x Mada
plot that includes Kasukabe-sempai!
[16:56] ---
No, I guess I can't put her in BL.
[17:02] ---
What?
[17:04] ---
Um... never mind.
[17:05] ---
You seemed to be deep in BL-land.
[17:10] ---
I wasn't! Not exactly!
[17:12] ---
Well, it doesn't matter if
I'm the bottom or anything.
[17:17] ---
That's right! I have to talk about that!
[17:19] ---
Um, I'm sorry... I know it's late
to be getting to the point, but...
[17:22] ---
Y-Yeah.
[17:24] ---
I spoke very harshly with
Kuchiki-sempai! Very harshly!
[17:28] ---
So I think it's okay for you to
come back to the club room now.
[17:32] ---
I'm really sorry!
[17:37] ---
No, no, no, it's not something
you need to apologize for.
[17:41] ---
Kuchiki-kun's just like that.
[17:43] ---
True, it was pretty shocking, but...
[17:50] ---
But I'd just been thinking that it
was hard to be in the club room,
[17:54] ---
now that it's all girls.
[17:58] ---
And even if Kuchiki-kun
doesn't come after me again,
[18:02] ---
I don't suppose I can stop the girls from
looking at me and going "total bottom".
[18:07] ---
No...
[18:09] ---
W-Wait, what direction is
this conversation going in?
[18:13] ---
So lately, well...
[18:17] ---
Well...
[18:22] ---
It's not good for somebody who's graduated
to hang around their old school forever.
[18:26] ---
I was just thinking about that.
[18:30] ---
It seemed like staying there
would just be awkward,
[18:34] ---
so I thought maybe a change of
scenery would be a good idea.
[18:37] ---
What do you mean, exactly?
[18:40] ---
Well... I can't say what exactly yet.
[18:45] ---
But maybe finding a new job?
[18:48] ---
Part of me's thinking I should
get away from the university.
[18:54] ---
It's my fault!
[18:56] ---
Because I said
Madarame-san is a total bottom!
[18:59] ---
Because I'm always thinking about BL,
[19:01] ---
or Koh x Mada and stuff!
[19:07] ---
Huh? Well, if I decided to move...
[19:11] ---
It would mean you wouldn't be able to
change, so I don't know about that.
[19:15] ---
No...
[19:16] ---
Don't worry about me.
[19:19] ---
I can find other places to change.
[19:22] ---
No, well... I still don't know. Finding
a new job is probably impossible anyway.
[19:27] ---
T-That's right!
[19:29] ---
The school fair is almost here,
so make sure you come for that!
[19:33] ---
Is it that time already?
[19:36] ---
We've actually been having
meetings in the club room lately.
[19:40] ---
Not just talking about BL.
[19:43] ---
What are you doing this year?
[19:45] ---
Ohno-sempai is doing a cosplay try-on thing,
[19:49] ---
and probably a special
issue of Mebaetame too.
[19:52] ---
We did cosplay last year,
[19:55] ---
but you've been putting a lot of effort into
Mebaetame, probably because Ogiue-sempai's president.
[20:00] ---
Yes.
[20:01] ---
Are you drawing something? You
always draw something for Mebaetame.
[20:06] ---
Ogiue-sempai asked me to draw a normal manga.
[20:12] ---
But I... I...
[20:14] ---
I've only ever drawn BL.
[20:18] ---
It's all I can draw.
[20:23] ---
Why not do that? Even if
it's BL... just keep drawing.
[20:30] ---
Even if it's the school fair,
you should draw what you like.
[20:34] ---
If it's really bad, Ogiue-san will stop you.
[20:38] ---
The club room is probably a lot more
lively now than when we were there.
[20:43] ---
Even if he's being used for BL fantasies,
[20:46] ---
he doesn't make people stop it.
[20:51] ---
Sempai...
[20:53] ---
Please come to the school fair.
[20:55] ---
Yeah, I'll go.
[20:58] ---
Looks like I can go without
worrying about too much.
[21:02] ---
I'll... I'll draw it!
SIGN Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture
[21:06] ---
I'd like to try my best
at drawing a non-BL manga.
[21:11] ---
I-I see.
[21:19] ---
Then I'll make sure I'm ready.
[21:23] ---
Thank you.
[21:24] ---
Yeah. You too.
[23:10] ---
I want to ask at the top of my lungs:
SIGN Preview
[23:12] ---
Why does Genshiken not
have a swimsuit episode?
[23:14] ---
Most anime have at least one per
season! Some have two or three!
SIGN
[23:17] ---
We've got Comic Festival in summer.
[23:19] ---
That no good! We need to show
more skin if we're going to sell!
[23:22] ---
Aren't guys in swimsuits
more popular these days?
[23:24] ---
You mean that one anime that's got swimsuits
every episode? We can't lose to it!
[23:28] ---
I'm ready to do my part!
[23:30] ---
Legal lolis, sumo wrestling, and
traps? Where's the demand for that?
[23:34] ---
I think it's out there, somewhere.

[00:05] ---
This draft is good.
[00:08] ---
Thank you.
[00:11] ---
It feels like a side story for
Lunar Glasses, your pro manga.
[00:15] ---
Well, I figured right now, I should
focus on writing what I know.
[00:20] ---
I see.
[00:22] ---
Did she get over it?
[00:24] ---
So Hato-kun is
finishing the artwork?
[00:28] ---
About that... we might end up coming here,
[00:32] ---
or to Hato-kun's room,
to work on the art.
[00:37] ---
Is that okay?
[00:38] ---
Oh, uh...
[00:41] ---
Yeah.
[00:46] ---
I think you're supposed to say no.
[00:50] ---
Am I?
[00:51] ---
Yes.
[00:52] ---
Even if he's a trap.
[00:54] ---
I figured if it was necessary,
I should keep my mouth shut.
[00:59] ---
Well, I'm sure that's what
you think. You always...
[01:03] ---
That's right... I'm supposed
to be a strong top.
[01:08] ---
Ogiue-san, sit here.
[01:13] ---
Okay...
[01:20] ---
Is that your phone?
[01:22] ---
I've got a bad feeling about this.
[01:25] ---
Okay, tonight we're training!
[01:27] ---
I'm sorry.
[01:29] ---
No, I kind of figured this was coming.
[01:33] ---
What's with your hand?
[01:35] ---
Well, Sue's tagging along,
so I guess it's okay.
[03:12] ---
Well, it's okay, I guess.
[03:14] ---
I see. It is. It is. I'm glad.
[03:17] ---
It's so embarrassing to have
someone read your work.
[03:21] ---
I've read it a bunch of
times! Get used to it.
[03:23] ---
Well, I'm still like that when
people read my rough drafts.
[03:28] ---
So what did the story end up as?
[03:31] ---
Oh, yeah.
[03:33] ---
After the Fifth
Interdimensional Space War,
[03:36] ---
in the year 24,925 of the
Earth Gregorian Calendar,
[03:38] ---
the generals of the Warring
States era are reborn
[03:43] ---
at the military high school
of the 382nd planet, Necrose.
[03:45] ---
Their school culture fair
gets out of hand...
[03:47] ---
Couldn't you do without
most of that introduction?
[03:49] ---
But there's the interdimensional haunted
house and the interdimensional music club.
[03:52] ---
Those ideas seem interesting on their own,
[03:55] ---
so do you really need the
Warring States generals?
[03:57] ---
I gave up.
[03:59] ---
You can see the details
when it's all done.
[04:01] ---
...all right.
[04:02] ---
So what about you?
[04:04] ---
We just finished the rough draft.
[04:06] ---
Hato-kun said she'd
work on the art at home.
[04:10] ---
Hello there.
[04:11] ---
We were just talking about you.
[04:14] ---
Were you?
[04:16] ---
How'd the manga turn out?
[04:20] ---
Well...
[04:22] ---
We can't put this in the magazine.
[04:25] ---
When I tried to draw in
that style as a girl,
[04:28] ---
it turned into BL illustrations again.
[04:31] ---
Hato-chan, do you understand?
[04:33] ---
My characters are doing it.
[04:36] ---
If there was a doujinshi of my manga,
this is what it would look like.
[04:42] ---
Ogi-sempai?
[04:46] ---
Um, yes. Putting this aside...
[04:50] ---
I want a copy of it later.
[04:53] ---
Looks like you liked it!
[04:56] ---
I think I need to watch as she draws,
[04:59] ---
so that her drawings
don't end up as porn.
[05:04] ---
I really do need the help.
[05:07] ---
Okay, Hato-chan! We'll watch too!
[05:10] ---
As you draw porn... I mean, not porn!
[05:13] ---
Come on! Come on! Come on!
[05:16] ---
Yajimacchi, that thing
could've killed me.
[05:19] ---
Don't bother them. We're leaving.
[05:21] ---
We need to talk about our art.
[05:22] ---
But it sounds like so much fun!
[05:23] ---
Shut up! We're leaving.
[05:27] ---
Okay, let's get started.
[05:30] ---
Yes.
[05:32] ---
White Gate Keeper.
[05:39] ---
How did you...
[05:42] ---
... settle on your current style?
[05:45] ---
Oh, I haven't settled on it yet.
[05:49] ---
I've done a lot of things since I was a
kid, like copying my favorite manga...
[05:53] ---
And this is just how it turned out.
[05:55] ---
Yeah, I thought so.
[05:57] ---
Your style is something you develop
[06:00] ---
after a long period of
trial and error, isn't it?
[06:04] ---
But the style in these pictures
is just a copy of someone else.
[06:10] ---
Almost completely.
[06:12] ---
I feel so bad that I can draw
them just by crossdressing,
[06:16] ---
and that it's always BL illustrations.
[06:20] ---
I think that's the reason I can't
draw normal manga in this style.
[06:26] ---
No, um... you're not tracing,
right? You were just influenced.
[06:30] ---
Yes.
[06:31] ---
Then it's not really copying.
[06:33] ---
No, more importantly,
the way you talked...
[06:37] ---
...it's someone you know, right?
[06:40] ---
A sempai at my high
school was really good.
[06:44] ---
She was a rotten girl.
[06:46] ---
High school... sempai... good
at drawing... rotten girl...
[06:51] ---
Hato-kun, were you thinking of her back
when we were talking about romance?
[06:56] ---
Bingo! She's gone three times as red!
[07:00] ---
No, it's not really... uhm...
[07:04] ---
Wait a second!
[07:07] ---
I'm sorry, Hato-kun. I can't
give you advice about romance.
[07:12] ---
Do you think it would be okay
[07:14] ---
if I tried a different
approach as a manga author?
[07:20] ---
I'm pathetic.
[07:22] ---
As her sempai, I need to find some
way to solve this problem.
[07:26] ---
Um...
[07:28] ---
I can understand not being able to draw
normal manga for psychological reasons.
[07:33] ---
It's normal for something small
to make you incapable of drawing.
[07:37] ---
Yes.
[07:38] ---
Hmm... that means what
doesn't make sense,
[07:43] ---
is the crossdressing.
[07:44] ---
It's just not possible for something
like that to give you so much firepower.
[07:50] ---
As a manga author, I can say
for sure that it's impossible.
[07:53] ---
So I think the natural assumption
[07:56] ---
is that you always have that ability.
[08:00] ---
No...
[08:01] ---
Even back when you were being my
assistant, I was honestly a little jealous.
[08:06] ---
"She can draw anything.
It's possible she's better than me."
[08:11] ---
No! No! That's impossible!
[08:14] ---
My style when I'm a guy...
[08:17] ---
It's like that!
[08:19] ---
That's kind of interesting
in and of itself,
[08:23] ---
but what that means is that you always
wanted to draw things like this.
[08:27] ---
When you're a guy, you put a
limiter on your own abilities,
[08:31] ---
and the crossdressing
gets rid of that limiter.
[08:34] ---
Even if you copied the style,
this is your own ability.
[08:39] ---
I guarantee that you
can draw a real manga.
[08:43] ---
Now give it a try.
[08:46] ---
Hey, when you're drawing
dirty pictures...
[08:49] ---
Does it make you feel horny?
[08:51] ---
I don't know.
[08:52] ---
Do you--
[08:52] ---
Sorry, but I don't draw dirty pictures!
SIGN Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture
[09:01] ---
You did it.
[09:03] ---
Yes.
[09:06] ---
I think it works. Let's keep at it.
[09:09] ---
Y-Yeah!
[09:13] ---
Wow... I think this is the most
presidential thing I've ever done!
[09:18] ---
Hi there! It's the Circle

[09:22] ---
We're here with a message.
[09:25] ---
Oh, Takeya-san, did you cut your hair?
[09:28] ---
That's right, I registered with
them under the name Takeya Mikako.
[09:34] ---
Sempai.
[09:35] ---
I know.
[09:37] ---
Um... it's about the costumes you're
using for the cosplay photo shoot.
[09:41] ---
We need a list, and
pictures for all of them.
[09:43] ---
Here.
[09:45] ---
Okay.
[09:46] ---
Nothing too dirty, they said.
[09:48] ---
I'll let the person in charge know.
[09:49] ---
So are you coming to the
festival, Takeya-san?
[09:52] ---
Yes... I think.
[09:55] ---
Oh, I'll show you around then!
[09:59] ---
As president, I need to do something!
[10:01] ---
Sempai. Sempai.
[10:02] ---
What? Shut up.
[10:05] ---
President Mikami asked me to
tell him everything you did.
[10:09] ---
What? You're going to rat me out?
[10:11] ---
I'm not going to rat you out.
[10:13] ---
I'm going to tell him
right in front of you.
[10:17] ---
Do you want to suck up to him that much?
[10:20] ---
If you don't make trouble,
there won't be any problems.
[10:24] ---
Fine.
[10:28] ---
Okay, take care of the cosplay
thing. See you soon.
[10:33] ---
Automatic writing?
[10:35] ---
Hato-kun... it's just that you want
to draw those pictures, isn't it?
[10:41] ---
There weren't any restrictions
like this last year.
[10:45] ---
I hear that the Circle Leadership Committee's
president is the harshest since Kitagawa-san.
[10:52] ---
Yes? Hello! It's been forever!
[10:56] ---
Kohsaka said he's finally
done with a big job,
[11:01] ---
and he wants to go.
[11:03] ---
Then...
[11:04] ---
I'll be going to the school fair too.
[11:06] ---
I'll get your costume ready, Saki-san!
[11:10] ---
She hung up!
[11:12] ---
Was that Kasukabe-san?
[11:14] ---
Everybody else is coming.
What about you, Sasahara-san?
[11:17] ---
You still aren't sure. I see.

Hey.

[12:53] ---
University's amazing.
[12:55] ---
You made it here on your
own, just like you said.
[12:59] ---
Why is she hiding?
[13:01] ---
She called Yajima-san "Mirei"?
[13:03] ---
That's the friend from high

[13:06] ---
Yeah. Her name's Mimasaka.
[13:08] ---
Say hello.
[13:09] ---
H-Hi there.
[13:12] ---
On the left is Yoshitake.
[13:14] ---
Hi there.

And this is, um...
[13:16] ---
The one I told you about.
[13:20] ---
"The one I told you about," huh?
[13:21] ---
Just call her Takeya today.
[13:24] ---
She's supposed to be a student
from another university.

And this is Ogiue-sempai, the president.

Hi.
[13:31] ---
I hope you have a good time.

She's staring at me.
[13:37] ---
Look! This has Yajimacchi's
drawings in it!
[13:40] ---
It's 200 yen.
[13:41] ---
I'll buy it!
[13:42] ---
Well, of course she'd look at me
like that, since she knows who I am.
[13:46] ---
You're a really good artist, Mirei.
[13:50] ---
...for pity's sake.
[13:52] ---
Mimacchi, you don't need to be polite.
[13:55] ---
Mima...?
[13:56] ---
Isn't she better off
if you tell the truth,
[13:59] ---
and she learns how harsh
the world really is?
[14:02] ---
How harsh the world is?
[14:04] ---
Mirei learned that a long time ago!
[14:07] ---
But what's so amazing about
Mirei is that she doesn't mind.
[14:11] ---
Right?
[14:12] ---
Well, it's not true that I don't mind...

Which generals saw great success
at the battle of Shizugatake,
[15:39] ---
but were not counted among the
Seven Spears of Shizugatake?!
[15:43] ---
Answer! Sakurai Iekazu
and Ishikawa Kazumitsu!
[15:46] ---
It's said that this is because they
were not Hideyoshi's personal retainers.
[15:48] ---
The Seven Spears began as an
attempt to make his men famous!

isn't that from Zen Buddhism?

They're my sisters-in-arms, you might say.

Ugh. You're not using the term right.

Is everybody here?

You can't...
[16:34] ---
All set.
[16:37] ---
I had sempai make these for me.
[16:40] ---
It had to be this game, didn't it?
[16:43] ---
You look so good in that!
[16:45] ---
Ohno-sempai is seriously merciless.
[16:48] ---
You look so cool, Mirei.
[16:51] ---

from stockings too.

Wow, it's really lively in here.

Oh, Madarame-sempai!

Hey.

Hey.

Is that the Mebaetame
you were talking about?
[17:15] ---
Yes.
[17:17] ---
It's the special school fair edition.
[17:23] ---
Oh, is the manga at the front yours?
[17:26] ---
Just the drawings...
Ogiue-sempai did the story.

This is really amazing. Right, Ogiue-san?
[17:33] ---
It really is.

Ooh, this is really good.
Really interesting.
[17:39] ---
It's thanks to Ogiue-sempai.
[17:42] ---
He came...
[17:44] ---
But the atmosphere here probably
makes it hard for him.
[17:47] ---
Tanaka-sempai and Kugayama-sempai
are here, so it's probably okay.
[17:52] ---
But today, no matter what...
[17:55] ---
Kasukabe-sempai and
Kohsaka-sempai are coming.
[17:58] ---
It would be weird if I
asked if he knew that.
[18:10] ---
Hey, Watanabe, Onee-chan.
[18:14] ---
Are Saki-neesan and

[18:19] ---
What? Are those two coming?
[18:21] ---
Yes. So I've heard.
[18:24] ---
That's why I came.
[18:26] ---
Who are you? And where do
you get off saying that?

Watanabe? Onee-chan?
[18:32] ---
Heh heh... well?

Well, what?

Well, those two are coming.
What are you going to do?
[18:38] ---
Nothing!

[18:43] ---
About Madarame-sempai
and Kasukabe-sempai...
[18:45] ---
And sempai seems to know it too.
[18:49] ---
I wasn't the only one who knew?
[18:55] ---
Huh? Huh, huh, huh?
[18:59] ---
Are the two of you dating?
[19:02] ---
No, no, no! No way!
[19:04] ---
Seriously? You'd make a great couple!
[19:07] ---
She was totally glaring at me!
[19:09] ---
Was I?
[19:12] ---
That's because she's never
seen somebody like you before.
[19:15] ---
It's physically impossible.
[19:18] ---
Huh? What? I don't know what you mean.
[19:21] ---
Well, I'll tell you later.
[19:24] ---
Physically... that's right.
We're the weird ones.
[19:29] ---
Never mind then. I'll go
wander around for a bit.
[19:34] ---
See you later.
[19:37] ---
That's Sasahara's little sister.
[19:39] ---
And she's a cabaret girl.
[19:41] ---
She's not even a student, but she
claims to be part of Genshiken.
[19:45] ---
I think she's younger than Ogiue-san?
[19:47] ---
Yes. One year younger, I think.
[19:50] ---
Then a year older than me?
[19:53] ---
Wait a second. Is Madarame and
Kasukabe something everybody knows about?
[19:57] ---
Of course. It's from before
I came to university,
[20:01] ---
so of course they'd know
more about it than I would.
[20:06] ---
But somehow...
[20:13] ---
It's cosplay everywhere.
[20:15] ---
You think it's really a cosplay club?
[20:17] ---
But look, they've got manga drawings up.
[20:19] ---
Konno-san and Fuji-san?
[20:23] ---
Crap! Oh, crap!
[20:25] ---
They look just like
Kaminaga-sempai's drawings.
[20:31] ---
It's okay. They won't find out.
[20:35] ---
There's no way they'll think
I'm dressed as a girl.
[20:38] ---
My voice is much cuter now.
[20:40] ---
Can I look at this?
[20:42] ---
Yes, go ahead.
[20:47] ---
Well?
[20:48] ---
Here it is. But it says they
were drawn by Takeya Mikako.
[20:53] ---
That's right. Right
now, I'm Takeya Mikako.
[20:57] ---
Hato Kenjiro isn't here.
[20:59] ---
Oh, Hato-chan!
[21:03] ---
Why are you back to dressing like that?
[21:12] ---
Huh?
[21:15] ---
Kamina--
[23:01] ---
Damn it! Why do you always
show up when I'm eating!
[23:04] ---
I think you just eat too much.
[23:08] ---
Was that deliberate?

Keiko-san, you keep getting
Madarame-sempai's name wrong.
[23:13] ---
But I thought it was Watanabe at first.
[23:16] ---
She never figured it
out on the first try.
[23:18] ---
And I got sick of explaining it.
[23:21] ---
And he can change his
name if he gets married.
[23:23] ---
Married?
[23:23] ---
A lot of my friends are already married.
[23:26] ---
They seem like people
who'd do that fast.
[23:27] ---
They're fast in a lot of ways, I'm sure.

Are you going to change
it to... Kasukabe?

Are you going to be

Kaminaga-sempai, it's been forever!
[04:05] ---
Do you have more pictures?
[04:07] ---
Yeah, want to see?
[04:08] ---
Of course! Can I copy them again?

Stop it.

You sit there drawing by yourself,
and you're so serious.
[04:32] ---
Listen, this is normal.
[04:34] ---
This is the Art Club, not the Manga Club.
[04:37] ---
You're the weird ones.
[04:39] ---
You're in your second year, and you've
already decided to go to an art school?
[04:42] ---
No, that's not true.
[04:45] ---
I guess I'm trying to
get better as an artist.
[04:48] ---
Effort's not going make you any better at
creating manga, so long as you draw like that.
[04:56] ---
Kon?
[04:57] ---
Oh, sorry!
[05:04] ---
Sempai's pictures... I want to see them.
[05:12] ---
Yeah, you're right. I'll leave the bike.
[05:16] ---
Tomorrow, I'll walk to the
station and take the bus.
[05:20] ---
Thanks, bye.
[05:30] ---
Oh, Kaminaga.
[05:32] ---
Thanks.
[05:34] ---
Kenji, do you know this girl?
[05:38] ---
When I was about to graduate,
she was in her first year, I think.
[05:41] ---
Oh, I see. So you were in school
together for a little bit, Brother.
[05:45] ---
Yeah. She was famous for loving gay dudes.
[05:47] ---
Huh? That's not quite right.
[05:50] ---
I like couplings. Couplings.
[05:53] ---
Just the pairings.
[05:55] ---
I don't get you.
[05:56] ---
And in that sense, as
captain of the Judo Club,
[05:59] ---
you made for a great pairing
with anybody. Thanks!
[06:03] ---
Huh? What the heck? I'm not gay at all.
[06:06] ---
It's just in our little fantasies.
[06:09] ---
Like having vice captain Kai-san and
the team ace, Funaki-san, fight over you.
[06:13] ---
I don't get you at all.
[06:16] ---
And what's this "we"? Are there more of you?
[06:19] ---
What are they like?
[06:21] ---
I haven't seen my brother talk
this much in a long time.
[06:24] ---
Hey, are you doing judo this year, Kenjiro?
[06:27] ---
K-Kenji...?
[06:29] ---
Oh, your name? Well, you're both Hato.
[06:32] ---
Kenji did it up through middle school.
I think he's a black belt.
[06:36] ---
Wow.
[06:38] ---
Well, anyone with any talent at all can get a
first-degree belt by the end of middle school.
[06:43] ---
That aside, I think he had
more talent than I did.
[06:48] ---
He was quick and sharp on his feet.
[06:51] ---
But now he's just an otaku.
[06:54] ---
He's never said that before.
[06:56] ---
"Softness subdues hardness." Like that?
[06:59] ---
Yeah, I guess so.
[07:00] ---
Subduing!
[07:03] ---
Which means I can assume Kenjiro's
the top and Yuuichiro's the bottom?
[07:08] ---
I really, really don't get you.

That's sempai's...

[08:04] ---
Yeah! And I ate the whole thing.
[08:20] ---
Wow!
[08:22] ---
Sempai, you're amazing!
[08:33] ---
Oh, you're here.
[08:36] ---
Where were you?
[08:37] ---
Just the bathroom. What's up, Konno-san?
[08:41] ---
Um, well...
[08:44] ---
Have you seen them? I
think I left them here...
[08:48] ---
...Sempai's BL pictures, I... mean.
[08:53] ---
Oh, these? Sorry. I was looking at them.
[09:01] ---
No... um...
[09:07] ---
This is bad! She's suspicious! What do I do?
[09:10] ---
Do I tell her? Maybe I'll tell her!
[09:14] ---
Well, I guess I was kind
of interested in them.
[09:17] ---
I'm telling her!
[09:19] ---
Actually, I... really like BL.
[09:23] ---
It's been one of my favorite
genres since middle school.
[09:26] ---
And since it was a doujinshi
that got me into it,
[09:29] ---
I'm a big fan of Yotsuya Komuro,
Kazama Takae, and Masayuki.
[09:34] ---
And I guess Terada Hasumiko
and Tomonaga Tomo.
[09:38] ---
They both write a lot of normal stuff, so
it's easy for a guy to get into their work too.
[09:44] ---
You like... BL?
[09:48] ---
Seriously?
[09:49] ---
Yeah. So I always wanted to
see Kaminaga-sempai's pictures.
[09:54] ---
You saw them?
[09:56] ---
In the bathroom?
[09:59] ---
Yeah. Why?
[10:02] ---
I thought it would be awkward if somebody
walked in here while I was looking at them.
[10:08] ---
Wait, the bathroom?
[10:10] ---
But I wasn't doing anything weird
while I was in the bathroom!
[10:15] ---
I'm serious! Really!
[10:22] ---
Hato.
[10:25] ---
Do you like... sempai's pictures?
[10:30] ---
Yeah. I really do, I think.
[10:33] ---
I wish I could draw like that.
[10:38] ---
Just the pictures?
[10:39] ---
Huh?
[10:45] ---
After that, for a while,
[10:48] ---
the atmosphere in the
Art Club got much uglier.
[10:51] ---
I stopped attending,
[10:54] ---
and Kaminaga-sempai graduated.
By the time I got to my third year...
[10:59] ---
Sure you don't want to take a
magazine to the bathroom with you?
[11:05] ---
The rumor that I was gay
had spread all over the school.
[11:38] ---
I-I knew it was my fault!
[11:41] ---
I told the rest of the club that Hato was
[11:44] ---
looking at BL stuff in the bathroom!
[11:47] ---
It's not your fault, Kon!
[11:48] ---
We were the ones who forced you
to tell us! You were acting weird!
[11:52] ---
And I think it was Kimura who told the guys.
[11:54] ---
I really didn't do anything
weird in the bathroom.
[11:57] ---
I guess I can see why
they'd get the wrong idea.
[12:00] ---
It's my fault that Hato
turned into the real thing!
[12:05] ---
No, no. I may be dressed like this,
but who I am inside hasn't changed.
[12:09] ---
What do you mean?
[12:10] ---
I started doing this because I thought it
would let me hang out with the rotten girls.
[12:14] ---
Huh? I don't get you!
[12:17] ---
I'm not surprised.
[12:19] ---
If you really wanted to see my
pictures, all you had to do was ask.
[12:24] ---
Really?
[12:25] ---
Yeah.
[12:26] ---
Come to think of it, you had pictures
that looked like mine hung up.
[12:31] ---
And, you know...
[12:33] ---
Why did they mistake me for you?
[12:40] ---
[12:43] ---
I may have made it this far, but I
think it's too late to join them.
[12:47] ---
They told us only one person
can go outside in costume.
[12:51] ---
Sue's outside now, so we...
[12:54] ---
Then go out there, Rame-sempai, and tell us!
[12:57] ---
Please!
[12:59] ---
It's not Hato-kun who's
got her back turned to me.
[13:03] ---
They look alike.
[13:04] ---
She said that's her sempai from high
school, right? I wonder what's going on.
[13:08] ---
They told me to find out what's
going on, but that's not gonna happen.
[13:12] ---
I guess I'll go home.
[13:20] ---
Oh, looks like some people Hato-kun
knew from high school are here.
[13:25] ---
Looks like they didn't know about the
crossdressing, so they're fighting.
[13:32] ---
Hato-kun's, well, her crossdressing...
[13:36] ---
She only does it when she's at our
circle, and normally keeps it a secret.
[13:41] ---
Normally she comes to school as a guy.
[13:44] ---
She switches outfits so
people won't identify her.
[13:48] ---
And one of them, well...
[13:51] ---
Oh, it looks just like me?
[13:55] ---
Yes. So much that, from behind,
we couldn't tell you apart.
[13:58] ---
Seriously? How's a girl supposed
to take something like that?
[14:00] ---
I've got to see it!
[14:02] ---
Would you show me, Kenjiro? Right now?
[14:07] ---
Um...
[14:08] ---
Kaminaga-sempai, you're being very rude!
[14:11] ---
Am I?
[14:12] ---
I never liked that about you!
[14:16] ---
W-What's this all of a sudden?
You're making me feel bad.
[14:19] ---
'Cause there's only one reason
why Hato would dress like you!
[14:26] ---
She doesn't realize at all!
[14:30] ---
I'm right, aren't I Hato?
[14:31] ---
A-About what?
[14:33] ---
You don't need to play dumb too!
[14:39] ---
It looks like Hato always...
always liked you!
SIGN
[14:47] ---
Well, I'm sure romance is involved somehow.
[14:50] ---
Their hairstyle was the same.
[14:52] ---
I can't wait to hear what
Madarame-sempai has to say.
[14:55] ---
That's a bad idea!
[14:58] ---
Is that true, Kenjiro?
[15:00] ---
Um, well...
[15:02] ---
I don't know... that's not
quite right, I think...
[15:06] ---
How can you say that when
you stole her art style?
[15:09] ---
So that's what that was, then!
[15:11] ---
Um, well... it's true that
I always looked up to you.
[15:17] ---
You're a great artist and I admired
how you didn't hide your love of BL.
[15:22] ---
I always wanted to be like you.
[15:27] ---
But in the end, Hato's brother got her.
[15:33] ---
Ah, so that's it.
[15:35] ---
Konno, Kenjiro, the two of you
together have finally caught up to me.

Listen. A macho big brother who used
to do judo and has a girlfriend...
[15:45] ---
And a quiet, delicate little brother who
crossdresses to look like his big brother's girl.
[15:52] ---
Did she get it? I'm impressed.
[15:55] ---
What?

In other words, Kenjiro wants to be me,

Of course, that's not true.

But I'm really impressed
with the idea, I guess.
[16:23] ---
It's normal to use your boyfriend
in your BL fantasies.
[16:26] ---
It works as is, but why don't you make it
a little more complex and change genres?
[16:31] ---
I see. Like the only heir
is the big brother,
[16:34] ---
and the little brother is raised as a woman?
[16:37] ---
Yup! Set it a few years back,
in an old family with old traditions!
[16:42] ---
And the little brother is a slut
with no chastity whatsoever?
[16:46] ---
I could see Kenjiro like that.

You're really a rotten girl, aren't you?

I've always been like this.

I wanted to be able to talk
like this with both of you too.
[17:08] ---
Yeah? Sorry.
[17:11] ---
No...
[17:12] ---
Well, you can start now right?
[17:15] ---
You can start over as fellow rotten girls.
[17:19] ---
Yes. You're right.
[17:20] ---
In reality, unlike video games, a weight
difference will dictate a fight's outcome.
[17:25] ---
Well, that's enough for today, right?

Just let him off the hook today... and
you'll still have a chance later, right?
[17:36] ---
I know how a woman feels.
[17:38] ---
But Kenjiro, you...
[17:41] ---
Yes?
[17:46] ---
Yuichiro-san and I...
[17:48] ---
...we're getting married next spring.
[17:51] ---
We've picked a date, and
you have to be there too.

[17:56] ---
Really?
[17:57] ---
Oh, congratulations.
[17:59] ---
Oh, thank you.
[18:01] ---
If you get married, does that mean
you're going to live at Hato's house?
[18:05] ---
That's right!
[18:07] ---
I'll be able to observe the Hato
brothers in their natural habitat!

gives me a heart attack.

you, and that's why I came today.
[18:23] ---
But looking back, I think your brother
might have known how you felt.
[18:30] ---
And if the shock of your crush
getting married turns you gay,
[18:34] ---
I don't have any right to stop you at all.
[18:37] ---
It will not!
[18:39] ---
Okay, guess it's time to go.

[18:52] ---
Otome Road.
[18:54] ---
I'll walk you to the station.
[18:56] ---
Okay.
[18:58] ---
But Kenjiro...
[18:59] ---
Yes?
[19:00] ---
If you like BL, and you dress like that...
[19:04] ---
...won't that change
your sexuality a little?
[19:09] ---
[19:10] ---
They're done, huh? Guess I didn't
make it in time. Oh well.

I mean, won't you start to feel like a
little something between two guys isn't so bad?
[19:20] ---
[19:21] ---
Yeah!
[19:22] ---
That!
[19:23] ---
I want to know the answer!
[19:25] ---
If you read all those things
won't it affect you?
[19:29] ---
I'm just enjoying it as a genre.
[19:32] ---
I'm not into guys.
[19:35] ---
BL is the king of fantasy, right?
[19:38] ---
Don't be stupid. "I'm not into guys,"
is a common line in BL, isn't it?
[19:43] ---
"I'm not into guys. I'm into you!"
[19:47] ---
So it has to be the right person.
[19:50] ---
Well? Is there anybody who knows
[19:53] ---
who you really are, but

Someone who knows about me,
but treats me normally...
[20:40] ---
Madarame-sempai is here.
[20:46] ---
I have lots of them, both
guys and girls. So, I'm fine.
[20:50] ---
Kaminaga-sempai... no, Nee-san...
[20:53] ---
Should I call you that?
[20:56] ---
I'll talk to your brother. Bye now.
[21:02] ---
You can't do that stuff!
[21:05] ---
That's not a good thing for a
young girl to do! My heart...
[21:09] ---
What are these goosebumps?
[21:11] ---
What? What did I see?
[21:27] ---
You lolicon!
SIGN Preview
[23:11] ---
Kaminaga-sempai, you're not going to draw
any BL of the Hato brothers, are you?
[23:15] ---
I've been drawing them
forever. Since high school.
[23:18] ---
I started with drawing the Judo
Club, and then added Kenjiro.
[23:21] ---
*** drawings. They
and *** Kenjiro's ,
[23:24] ---
and then his brother purifies
him by *** ing him.
[23:27] ---
And then after thoroughly ing his , he
! Well? Want to see it when we get back?
[23:31] ---
No!
[23:32] ---
Really?
[23:33] ---
No.
[23:33] ---
She's wavering!

[00:02] ---
What should I say at a time like this?
[00:07] ---
"You lolicon!" maybe?
[00:10] ---
That's about right. I mean, it's not, but...
[01:47] ---
Hey!
[01:48] ---
Saki-san!
[01:50] ---
Wait, Madarame-san? Isn't Kohsaka-san here?
[01:54] ---
Oh, Kohsaka's in a game tournament.
[01:57] ---
I saw Susie giving this
guy a kiss downstairs!
[02:01] ---
He's such a lolicon!
[02:01] ---
No, no, no.
[02:03] ---
Then will you tell me if
you get a new phone number?
[02:07] ---
Yeah.
[02:08] ---
She wanted me to go talk
to Hato and her friends,
[02:12] ---
and pranked me when I kept refusing.
[02:15] ---
Why would Susie care?
[02:17] ---
I don't know.
[02:19] ---
I don't know what Sue's thinking,
[02:22] ---
but Hato-kun left with her old friends.
[02:24] ---
Oh, what's the--
[02:27] ---
Kasukabe-sempai! Hi there.
[02:29] ---
Hey, Oggy. Things going well with Sasahara?
[02:32] ---
Yean... thanks.
[02:34] ---
Ogi-sempai, where's Hato-chan?
[02:36] ---
Everything got settled. If you want
the details, ask her, I guess.
[02:41] ---
I guess you're right.
[02:44] ---
Cosplay's really tiring.
[02:47] ---
Yeah. People took lots of pictures.
[02:48] ---
Hey there.
Hi!
[02:51] ---
Yajima-san and Yoshitake-san, why don't you
walk around the school with your friends?
[02:57] ---
Um...
[02:58] ---
Go ahead.
[02:59] ---
Okay, thanks then!
[03:01] ---
Want to change?
[03:01] ---
And you can cosplay, Saki-san!
[03:04] ---
And there it is.
[03:06] ---
That was a good last episode.
[03:11] ---
Hato-chan! Did things go okay?
[03:14] ---
Yeah, it's fine.
[03:15] ---
I'm glad to hear it! You can
tell me the details later.
[03:19] ---
So you're starting up a
cosplay business, Tanaka?
[03:23] ---
Well, it's not a sure thing yet.
[03:25] ---
But if I'm really going to sell this stuff,
it'd be a lot easier to do it through a company.
[03:29] ---
That's true. It has its advantages.
[03:32] ---
Wow! One of us is going to run a company.
[03:35] ---
It's not that big a deal!
[03:38] ---
Are you getting married soon?
[03:41] ---
Oh, Saki-san!
[03:43] ---
What about you, Kugapii?
[03:44] ---
Still in sales.
[03:46] ---
No, Kugapii! I'm asking
if you have a girlfriend.
[03:49] ---
O-Of course not!
[03:51] ---
Kasukabe-sempai's here.
[03:55] ---
The whole place seems more lively.
[03:59] ---
Is this what Genshiken
was like before last year?
[04:03] ---
What about Madarame-sempai?
[04:09] ---
He just looked at Kasukabe-sempai!
[04:15] ---
Wait, why did I stop?
It's like I froze up...
[04:19] ---
Hato-chin! I'm so sorry.
[04:21] ---
Even if I've got sunglasses on,
I made a big mistake back there.
[04:26] ---
No, it's fine. I feel better
now that it's out in the open.
[04:29] ---
That's the cross-dresser?
[04:31] ---
Yes. That's right.
[04:32] ---
I see.
[04:34] ---
Yo. If you're here, you should've called.
[04:38] ---
Where's Kohsaka-san?
[04:39] ---
Why would I call someone
who asks questions like that?
[04:42] ---
I've given up already!
At least let me see him.
[04:45] ---
Have you?
[04:46] ---
I just want to give him my business card.
[04:48] ---
Hey!
[04:49] ---
You guys come by too.
[04:50] ---
Stop trying to get customers!
[04:53] ---
Like Watanabe!
[04:55] ---
I gave him my card a long
time ago, and he never came by.
[04:59] ---
Oh, Madarame wouldn't
go to a place like that.
[05:03] ---
Of course not.
[05:04] ---
He's too much of a loser to do
that, and he's a lolicon anyway.
[05:08] ---
Seriously?
[05:09] ---
I heard that, back at Comic Festival,
[05:11] ---
Angela went after him hard,
and he totally shot her down.
[05:15] ---
Oh? And she's a foreigner?
[05:17] ---
An otaku girl from America,
with tits almost as big as Ohno's.
[05:21] ---
He's such an idiot. Even if she's not
really his type, he should've taken her up on it.
[05:26] ---
It could've changed his outlook on life.
[05:30] ---
No, no.
[05:31] ---
Well, he's a total lolicon,
so of course he didn't.
[05:34] ---
Shut up.
[05:34] ---
I don't think an otaku's ever going
to get another chance like that.
[05:38] ---
It doesn't matter.
[05:39] ---
She doesn't know how sempai feels!
[05:42] ---
You're not that much of a lolicon, are you?
[05:45] ---
Hato-kun, was it? Is it true?
[05:48] ---
No, well... but...
[05:50] ---
When I clean up sempai's room,
I clean up the doujinshi and H-games,
[05:54] ---
but well, there is some loli stuff, but...
[05:57] ---
Wait a second. Wait a second, Hato-kun.
[06:00] ---
Madarame, you're making your
underclassman clean your room?
[06:05] ---
No, I'm not making her...
[06:07] ---
I just doing it because I want to!
[06:09] ---
I need more blood! Bring
me more! More of anything!
[06:12] ---
She's binging.
[06:14] ---
She's totally binging.
[06:15] ---
You're using his room to
change into your girl clothes?
[06:18] ---
When I'm not there!
I'm at work during the day!
[06:21] ---
No, that's...
[06:24] ---
I don't get what you mean. "Cross-dressing"?
[06:28] ---
Yes, cross-dressing. She's really a boy.
[06:32] ---
What?
[06:34] ---
What are you doing?
[06:36] ---
No way! No way! I can't
believe that! It's impossible!
[06:39] ---
Proof! Show me proof!
[06:41] ---
No way!
[06:42] ---
If not your ****,
then your breasts!
[06:43] ---
My voice! I'll use my normal voice!
[06:45] ---
I'm really a guy.
[06:48] ---
No way! I've got goosebumps!
[06:49] ---
I wish she'd shut up.
[06:51] ---
I see! That's why Watanabe was
saying it was physically impossible.
[06:56] ---
Yeah.
[06:57] ---
No, no. It doesn't matter if
someone's a man or a woman, does it?
[07:01] ---
Two guys being together is totally okay.
[07:04] ---
Saki-san, have you gotten into BL?
[07:07] ---
What are you talking about?
I've got a lot of gay friends.
[07:10] ---
Oh, reality.
[07:12] ---
Are you people homophobic?
[07:14] ---
Um... well, I'm straight, is all.
[07:18] ---
I just dress like this as part of
hanging out with the rotten girls.
[07:22] ---
Well, it's not like you have
to change that or anything.
[07:25] ---
Right...
[07:27] ---
Wait a second... her, her, and her...
[07:31] ---
And her too, I guess.
[07:33] ---
What?
[07:33] ---
Madarame... is it really your
turn to be the popular guy?
[07:39] ---
W-What?
[07:42] ---
I'll be a little mean to him, I guess.
[07:45] ---
Come to think of it, when we all went
to Madarame's room a long time ago,
[07:49] ---
he was hiding a ton of
adult S&M DVDs in his desk.
[07:55] ---
Come to think of it...
[07:57] ---
Yeah, he was.
[07:58] ---
Yeah, he was.
[07:59] ---
S&M?
[08:01] ---
Oh, I don't know!
[08:03] ---
Out of all the H-games and
H-manga I see when I clean his room,
[08:07] ---
there's barely any S&M!
[08:10] ---
I saw a little, but I think he got it at Comic
Festival because it was about his favorite anime!
[08:15] ---
You don't need to go that far.
[08:17] ---
I'm sorry. It just didn't seem
like you, so I wanted to disagree.
[08:22] ---
Merely the mistakes of my
youth. I threw them all out!
[08:25] ---
Then search harder, Hato-kun.
[08:30] ---
Like inside the desk drawers, or the
closets, or the folders on his PC.
[08:33] ---
Sure.
[08:35] ---
There's nothing on my PC but hentai you
wouldn't be ashamed to show anywhere!
[08:40] ---
You couldn't find a thing--
[08:44] ---
--not a thing.
[08:45] ---
He froze.
[08:46] ---
He froze. He's hiding them.
[08:48] ---
I am not! I just stuttered a bit.
[08:54] ---
Hey.
[08:55] ---
She just went "Oh!"
[08:57] ---
No, I don't know anything...
[08:59] ---
This is suspicious! It's really suspicious.
[09:02] ---
No, seriously... What is it?
[09:04] ---
Was there anything that bad in my room?
[09:13] ---
Kasukabe-sempai's cosplay pictures.
[09:25] ---
He's not here. He can't have--
[09:27] ---
Hey, what did you say?
[09:29] ---
Watanabe left the minute you said that.
[09:36] ---
I don't know if I can say.
[09:38] ---
After all that? And I'm the only one here.
[09:41] ---
It's Madarame-sempai's private life.
[09:43] ---
You're the one who spilled the beans.
[09:46] ---
Hey, I know!
[09:49] ---
Does it have something to do with the
fact that Madarame likes Saki-neesan?
[09:54] ---
Am I right?
[09:55] ---
Does everybody know already?
[09:59] ---
I think so.
[10:01] ---
I've talked to Ohno-chan
and my sister about it.
[10:04] ---
I think most of the old members know it.
[10:07] ---
But I've never asked
Saki-neesan about it directly.
[10:12] ---
Have things changed since
the new students came?
[10:14] ---
That's right. They're all rotten
girls who are really into BL.
[10:19] ---
Then Madarame doesn't
really come around anymore?
[10:22] ---
Yeah. Today's actually the first
time I've seen him in a while.
[10:36] ---
So I really wasn't the only
one who knew his secret.
[10:40] ---
Is he really not gay?
[10:44] ---
He's got this "I understand my sempai
better than anyone" look on his face.
[10:48] ---
Girls like that piss me off.
[10:51] ---
Well, guys like that.
[10:53] ---
So what exactly did you say?
[10:55] ---
Um...
[10:57] ---
Does she know everything already?
[10:59] ---
He probably got the pictures from Tanaka-san.
[11:02] ---
If she knows how Madarame-sempai feels
already, this is probably no different.
[11:06] ---
Um...
[11:07] ---
What?! Cosplay pictures of Saki-neesan?
[11:10] ---
Huh?
[11:12] ---
No way! That's hilarious!
[11:17] ---
That's awful. That's really awful.
[11:23] ---
Hey, you.
[11:24] ---
Yes?
[11:25] ---
Why don't we make Madarame tell her?
[11:29] ---
Tell her?
[11:31] ---
Saki-neesan hardly ever comes
to the university, right?
[11:34] ---
This is the first time since she
graduated. So this is our chance!
[11:38] ---
We can force him into it.
[11:40] ---
But what about his feelings?
[11:42] ---
Find Watanabe. I'll find Saki-neesan...
[11:43] ---
But maybe Madarame-sempai
wants things to stay this way!
[11:47] ---
You're the one who
wrecked any chance of that.
[11:50] ---
It's exhausting to have a secret
everybody else has already figured out.
[11:55] ---
Madarame's an idiot, so he can't
deal with it. That's why he ran.
[12:00] ---
Let's set him free.
[12:12] ---
Sue-chan?
[12:16] ---
What? Wait!
[12:24] ---
Is sempai in the club room?
[12:28] ---
Wait a second. I'll...
[12:35] ---
Hello?
[12:37] ---
Um, about the pictures... well...
[12:40] ---
It was really pure chance
that I found them. I'm sorry.
[12:44] ---
And so, if you're in the club room...
[12:48] ---
Can you wait there?
SIGN Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture
[12:52] ---
I'm sure you'll understand
as soon as you go inside.
[13:00] ---
I don't know what'll happen.
That's up to Madarame.
[13:13] ---
Huh? What's up Saki-chan?
[13:17] ---
What's going on?
[13:19] ---
Bwa?
[13:20] ---
Let's go, Sasahara-kun.
[13:23] ---
Yeah...
[13:24] ---
Me too--
[13:25] ---
You stay here, Madarame-san.
[13:28] ---
Saki-chan, I'll explain why
I'm dressed like this later.
[13:31] ---
For now, I'll say I won the tournament.
[13:34] ---
Congrats.
[13:36] ---
Now then...
[13:39] ---
It's been a while, I guess.
[13:51] ---
I heard you haven't been
coming around much lately.
[13:55] ---
Yeah...
[13:57] ---
Don't be so stiff.
[14:02] ---
Actually, I'm not sure what's going on.
[14:06] ---
Hato-kun told me to stay here.
[14:10] ---
Well, basically...
[14:13] ---
They've locked the two of us in here.
[14:18] ---
Saki-san's gone too.
[14:21] ---
You're right.
[14:23] ---
I know! Do you think something Saki x Mada
[14:26] ---
is beginning on the other side of the world?
[14:28] ---
Huh?
[14:29] ---
Saki-chan is alone in the
club room with Madarame.
[14:32] ---
Kohsaka-san!
[14:33] ---
Hey there!
[14:34] ---
Does that mean...
[14:36] ---
Is that your cosplay from the trap game?
[14:38] ---
That's not important right now.
[14:41] ---
I've only seen it in pictures!
[14:44] ---
The two of them are alone together?
[14:46] ---
Why are you here, Sasahara-san?
[14:49] ---
Sorry. He sent me the outfit.
[14:52] ---
I wanted to surprise everyone, so I had
him bring it to the club room in secret.
[14:56] ---
Well, as long as you came.
[14:58] ---
And so what's this? Just the two of them?
[15:02] ---
Keiko-chan and Hato-kun set it up.
[15:06] ---
What? That sounds like something
out of Sweet Azure Flowers.
[15:10] ---
Huh? But are you okay with this, Kohsaka-kun?
[15:13] ---
I care about Madarame-san too.
[15:17] ---
So I'm willing to do this for him.
[15:23] ---
Was I that obvious?
[15:26] ---
About what?
[15:27] ---
About what?
[15:29] ---
You know... the reason they put us in here...
[15:35] ---
What are you talking about?
[15:36] ---
This is harsh. You're an
iron wall, Kasukabe-san.
[15:40] ---
What are you talking about?
[15:42] ---
No, no. Seriously, you're merciless.
[15:45] ---
Look, stop trying to
dance around the subject
[15:49] ---
by using insults to get under my skin.
[15:54] ---
Does she really... not know?
[16:00] ---
Don't just sit there. Say something.
[16:04] ---
Jeez, fine. Let's talk about old times then.
[16:09] ---
It was at the school festival,
when I was a freshman.
[16:12] ---
When you put those cat ears on me,
that was when I first realized
[16:16] ---
"Oh hey, he likes me."
[16:20] ---
I was trying so hard not to
be the one to bring it up.
[16:25] ---
You really are a loser, Madarame.
[16:27] ---
Does that...
[16:30] ---
No way... that long ago?
[16:33] ---
It's too early! That was years ago!
[16:36] ---
You didn't realize you liked me?
[16:38] ---
Realize... realize...
[16:46] ---
That was the first day I
realized that I liked her.
[16:52] ---
And I was certain...
[16:57] ---
...then.
[16:59] ---
I can't say that!
[17:01] ---
If I say that, that means
telling her that I like her!
[17:09] ---
And anyway,
[17:11] ---
what's the point in telling someone how you
feel, if you know you'll be shot down?
[17:19] ---
You got quiet again.
[17:26] ---
What do I want to do? Alone
in a room with Kasukabe-san...
[17:31] ---
What do I want to say?
[17:39] ---
Back then... you had a
nose hair sticking out.
[17:45] ---
Huh? Nose hair?
[17:47] ---
But the moment I tried to tell you...
[17:51] ---
You punched me.
[17:53] ---
B-Back then?
[17:55] ---
But didn't you say you'd forgotten
about that? Just before we graduated.
[18:00] ---
I wasn't brave enough to say it.
[18:02] ---
What? Not brave enough?
[18:06] ---
It was easier to pretend like
I'd forgotten all about it.
[18:12] ---
Back when you graduated,
that's the kind of guy I was.
[18:17] ---
But today, they gave this to me...
[18:22] ---
And you brought it up.
[18:25] ---
So... I'll say it! I'll
say it loud and clear!
[18:30] ---
Back then, you had a nose hair sticking out!
[18:40] ---
Is that...
[18:42] ---
...really a line you want to
say with tears in your eyes?
[18:46] ---
Damn it!
[18:50] ---
That's horrible.
[18:53] ---
Screaming, "You had a
nose hair sticking out."
[19:00] ---
But... that's all right.
[19:06] ---
I'm sorry. I've got Kohsaka,
so I can't be with you.
[19:14] ---
T-That's not what I m-meant...
[19:24] ---
No.
[19:27] ---
I see...
[19:32] ---
By the way... I was just wondering.
[19:36] ---
From the way you said it...
if Kohsaka wasn't around?
[19:42] ---
Maybe we could've had a future together.
[19:50] ---
Thank you.
[19:59] ---
It's over.
[20:06] ---
I feel so relieved.
[20:10] ---
What's wrong?
[20:14] ---
It's just... somehow, getting turned
down made me feel a lot better.
[20:21] ---
I'm surprised how much.
[20:28] ---
Oh, no!
[20:33] ---
Why are you crying, Kasukabe-san?
[20:36] ---
[20:38] ---
Like I said... it's been
four years for me too.
[20:44] ---
I'd swore I wouldn't act like I already knew.
[20:48] ---
But that just made me feel like
I was hurting you, so...
[20:55] ---
I feel so relieved.
[21:00] ---
That's not true.
[21:05] ---
And now I know...
[21:10] ---
...that Kasukabe-san cries easily.

It really was...

We don't get a lot of screen time, do we?
[23:12] ---
So let's get our lines in while we can.
Kugayama, you drawing much lately?
[23:15] ---
I'm drawing Zekashima stuff, but I'm not sure
exactly who because I can't register at the site.
[23:19] ---
Sue would be great as one of those ships.
Aren't the servers stable now?
[23:22] ---
I've been so busy...
[23:23] ---
Right, you've got a job now.
[23:24] ---
Madarame's having all the fun.
He's practically the star of the show!
[23:27] ---
Or maybe the heroine?
[23:28] ---
Well, he got dumped.
[23:29] ---
Tanaka, Sasahara, and Kohsaka all have
girlfriends! What am I supposed to do?
[23:32] ---
It's the same with screentime.
[23:34] ---
Looks like Tanaka-sempai's gets a
lot of screen time next episode.
[23:36] ---

[00:05] ---
How'd it go?
[00:07] ---
He told me I liked him, and I
told him it wasn't happening.
[00:10] ---
Seriously? At last, Watanabe gets rejected!
[00:14] ---
It really took forever, didn't it?
[00:16] ---
Don't say that so loud.
[00:18] ---
So how'd it go? What did he say?
[00:20] ---
Well...
[00:25] ---
I don't think anybody else would get it.
[00:28] ---
Yeah.
[00:29] ---
Huh? It looks like the
two of you have a secret.
[00:32] ---
No, it's nothing that nice.
[00:35] ---
Is it some kinda secret code?
[00:37] ---
No, we used normal words.
[00:38] ---
Then what is it?
[00:39] ---
Um, excuse me. This is all my fault, so...
[00:43] ---
No, I think it's probably for the best.
[00:47] ---
Don't worry about it.
[00:48] ---
Okay...
[00:51] ---
Hey, Kasukabe-san...
[00:53] ---
Hmm?
[00:53] ---
I still have quite a few pictures
of that time you cosplayed.
[00:58] ---
Should I throw them out?
[01:00] ---
Oh, that? Nah, it's fine.
Do whatever with them.
[01:05] ---
Then I'll keep them.
[02:42] ---
I'll be on my way, then.
[02:46] ---
What? You're seriously leaving?
[02:48] ---
That's it.
[02:50] ---
I knew something was bothering
me, and I'm sure this is it.
[02:54] ---
It's not good for somebody who's graduated
to hang around their old school forever.
[03:00] ---
With nothing left to connect
him to Kasukabe-sempai,
[03:03] ---
I thought maybe Madarame-sempai would
just leave the university forever.
[03:09] ---
Are you an idiot, Watanabe? You need to tell
the rest of Genshiken or there's no point.
[03:14] ---
Why?
[03:15] ---
You'll only feel better when you
realize everybody else already knew.
[03:22] ---
I don't know what you're talking about!
[03:25] ---
And I just told her I liked her! Why do
I have to jump over another hurdle now?
[03:29] ---
It's not a very high hurdle to clear.
[03:32] ---
Because...
[03:34] ---
Who here knew that Watanabe
likes Saki-neesan?
[03:40] ---
Look. 100% of them! So now you're
just telling them how it turned out.
[03:45] ---
I've lost my faith in others...
[03:47] ---
You never had any faith in others!
[03:52] ---
Love and Work and Cheesecake
[03:57] ---
I knew it.
[03:59] ---
Yes, you knew it. We all saw it coming.
[04:03] ---
And nobody else saw this
ending any other way.
[04:07] ---
I feel like a clown.
[04:10] ---
No, I thought it might happen.
[04:14] ---
If that happened...
[04:17] ---
Love me too.
[04:23] ---
Didn't you do the harem route?
[04:26] ---
Oh, that? From that H-Game...
[04:30] ---
I'm glad! You finished with
all the characters, didn't you?
[04:34] ---
That was a requirement
for the harem route, yes.
[04:37] ---
Then maybe you'll really love
what I prepared for you!
[04:41] ---
Huh?
[04:42] ---
Tanaka-san, you ready?
[04:44] ---
Of course! I've got it for everybody.
[04:46] ---
I'll call you tonight then.
[04:49] ---
Okay.
[04:53] ---
You've been drinking?
[04:55] ---
The beer at the school festival is great!
[05:00] ---
Give me a break.
[05:02] ---
This is clearly Sue's character.
[05:06] ---
Sue's not here, though.
[05:08] ---
And you're the closest match to her build.
[05:12] ---
Is it okay for me to cosplay?
[05:15] ---
I don't think you'll stand out in this group.
[05:18] ---
I don't think I work as a trap...
[05:22] ---
I can't get them flat enough.
[05:24] ---
Let's just ignore that.
[05:25] ---
Once the wig's on, is there really
any need for it to be me?
[05:29] ---
No, it's a strong-willed boyish
character, so you're perfect!
[05:32] ---
Boyish? It's a boy in the first place!
[05:36] ---
What... what the hell is going on?
[05:39] ---
What? I don't get one?
[05:42] ---
There's no cosplay for people like you!
[05:44] ---
Come on, Madarame-san!
Your harem route is waiting.
[05:48] ---
Is this Kohsaka's attempt at being helpful?
[05:52] ---
Is something wrong?
[05:54] ---
It's like a dream come true!
[06:00] ---
No, it's not just Kohsaka.
Everyone's trying to help.
[06:06] ---
So this is the result of
all those complex jokes?
[06:10] ---
This sucks. This isn't like me at all.
[06:14] ---
I guess I should go back
to how I used to be...
[06:20] ---
So let me ask you something.
Outside of Kohsaka-kun,
[06:24] ---
how many of you actually
understand this game?
[06:27] ---
We all knew that somebody was going
to do an all-trap game at some point,
[06:31] ---
but this is the first time in H-Game
history someone's actually done it.
[06:36] ---
And in that sense, it's probably
right to have two traps present,
[06:41] ---
but what about the other three being girls?
[06:43] ---
Well, they're mostly girls in the game, sure.
[06:46] ---
But when you attempt to translate the
two-dimensional into the three-dimensional,
[06:50] ---
don't you think cosplay should strive to be
true to the original work? That sort of effort--
[06:55] ---
Ah, he's back to the Madarame I used to hate.
[06:59] ---
Yeah, this is how he used to be.
[07:04] ---
Just kidding! Well, actually I'm not.
[07:08] ---
Saki-san!
[07:09] ---
Nee-san, you're a bitch.
[07:10] ---
This is...
[07:11] ---
Come to think of it,
a guy who I used to dislike
[07:15] ---
going up to "mostly indifferent"
still doesn't stand a chance with me.
[07:18] ---
Saki-san!
[07:19] ---
That's so like you, Saki-chan.
[07:21] ---
My romantic hopes are over...
[07:22] ---
I truly am a clown.
[07:24] ---
Kohsaka, get back here!
[07:26] ---
I don't know if they're being kind or cruel.
[07:30] ---
Did something happen?
[07:33] ---
Well, how to put it...
[07:40] ---
I'll be going, then.
[07:42] ---
Yajimacchi, see you soon!
[07:44] ---
She's not going to the after-party?
[07:47] ---
Yeah. One of her friends from high
school is staying with her tonight.
[07:50] ---
Too bad. I wanted to have a
chance to talk to the new girls.
[07:55] ---
And so you're going too, Madarame?
[07:58] ---
Uh... yeah.
[08:00] ---
I'm not sure what alcohol
would do to me right now.
[08:04] ---
I guess that makes sense.
[08:08] ---
I never asked how you've been, come
to think of it. How's the job?
[08:13] ---
Well...
[08:15] ---
I've been thinking of quitting lately.
[08:21] ---
You'd better not.
[08:23] ---
Eh? You think so?
[08:25] ---
Of course. You don't need
me to tell you why, right?
[08:31] ---
But it might be okay to come by
the university a little more.
[08:34] ---
Huh? Why?
[08:37] ---
You struck out today,
[08:39] ---
but if you keep at it, you might
really unlock the harem route.
[08:46] ---
What are you talking about? You can't
have one of those in real life.
[08:52] ---
That's fine, I guess.
[08:55] ---
Let's go, Madarame.
[08:57] ---
Uh? What? We're going to my place?
[09:00] ---
Why not?
[09:01] ---
It's been a while.
[09:03] ---
I don't mind, I guess.
[09:07] ---
So that's manly friendship?
[09:09] ---
Love, maybe!
[09:11] ---
Kohsaka-san, that's a bit far out.
[09:14] ---
Let's get going too.
[09:17] ---
Yeah.
[09:19] ---
You're not going to Madarame's place?
[09:22] ---
I'll just let the old classmates go.
[09:40] ---
Where's Susie, by the way?
I haven't seen her around.
[09:43] ---
She just got a call from a friend.
[09:47] ---
Oh my, what a cute little
girl you have there.
[09:49] ---
It is written that she
died during intercourse.
[09:52] ---
That's all she says.
[09:54] ---
Dunno what to do about her.
[09:55] ---
It is written that she
died during intercourse.
SIGN Circle Leadership Committee
[10:04] ---
Another request for cosplay
photographs on school grounds?
[10:08] ---
Yes. We'll obey the rules
like always, so... please.
[10:13] ---
Well, we won't outright ban it, of course.
[10:17] ---
But if you'll excuse my saying so, there's
rumors that despite the fact that you're a senior,
[10:20] ---
Ohno-san, you still don't have
any sort of employment lined up.
[10:24] ---
You're working on your
graduating essay, right?
[10:27] ---
It's almost done. Almost done!
[10:30] ---
We are being oppressed!
[10:35] ---
We'll allow it, but you do need
to concentrate on your studies.
[10:39] ---
Yes, sir.
SIGN Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture
[10:41] ---
But I can't help it!
[10:44] ---
I kept looking for a job and I couldn't
find one! I mean, I'm still looking.
[10:49] ---
But the peak is between April and June!
[10:51] ---
I'm too worried about what happens
after I graduate to work on my essay.
[10:55] ---
What can I do but cosplay?
[10:57] ---
So that's what life's like for a senior?
[11:00] ---
I didn't get the last part.
[11:02] ---
Well, I guess she won't be able
to find a job until next year.
[11:05] ---
I want to find one this year,
while I'm still a new graduate!
[11:09] ---
Then you don't have time to cosplay, do you?
[11:14] ---
But I heard from Kuchiki-sempai
[11:17] ---
that she's just going to let
Tanaka-sempai pay her way.
[11:20] ---
Yeah?
[11:21] ---
She wants to be a housewife?
[11:23] ---
No, that's just what I want.
[11:27] ---
And to be honest,
Tanaka-san's still in school.
[11:32] ---
So even if I do become a
housewife, if nothing else,
[11:37] ---
I want to be able to pay my own way.
[11:40] ---
I think that's a good thing.
[11:42] ---
Tanaka, huh?
[11:44] ---
Then why not sell a cosplay
CD at comic festival?
[11:48] ---
Yeah, they sell pretty graphic ones
there. The girls themselves do it.
[11:52] ---
No, not a cosplay CD like that...
[11:55] ---
No, a cosplay CD is perfect!
[11:57] ---
You take a lot of pictures
on your own, don't you?
[12:00] ---
Just burn them onto a CD and
you could make a fortune.
[12:05] ---
Listen, Yoshitake-san.
[12:07] ---
To me, cosplay is a form of self-liberation!
[12:11] ---
So using it to make money is...
[12:14] ---
But you still want to be seen, don't you?
[12:17] ---
I'll admit to that...
[12:20] ---
Then what's wrong with fulfilling that desire
[12:22] ---
while you make money?
[12:25] ---
She's really good at convincing people.
[12:29] ---
A cosplay CD? I'd prefer you didn't.
[12:33] ---
Yeah...
[12:34] ---
Not just as your boyfriend.
[12:37] ---
I'm sure the university wouldn't like it.
[12:40] ---
And if the companies you're
interviewing for found out...
[12:44] ---
I understand that.
[12:46] ---
I think you shouldn't give up yet.
[12:49] ---
Okay, raise your breasts up.
[12:51] ---
Okay.
[12:56] ---
Do you think that now's
not the time for this?
[12:59] ---
No, if you want to wear it, I'll
make it. And I'll take pictures too.
[13:05] ---
But we don't know what the future will bring.
[13:10] ---
So I think you should get a job if you can.
[13:13] ---
For your own sake.
[13:28] ---
Um, actually...
[13:30] ---
Do you think if I put out
a cosplay CD, it would sell?
[13:35] ---
Of course it would!
Are you finally ready to do it?
[13:40] ---
No. I haven't decided yet.
[13:43] ---
But I think for now, the next
time we do a photo shoot,
[13:46] ---
I'll take a few pictures
for it, just in case.
[13:49] ---
I see. Just to try it
out! Sounds good to me!
[13:53] ---
So let's think about how we're
going to do this. Up to PG-13?
[13:56] ---
Sempai's acting kind of weird.
[13:58] ---
Is she?
[14:00] ---
With your body, we won't need any tricks.
[14:04] ---
If cosplay is your way of
liberating yourself from reality,
[14:07] ---
between the alluring designs of an anime
costume and your impossibly hot body,
[14:11] ---
you can release yourself into reality!
[14:16] ---
Um, Ohno-san?
[14:20] ---
Aren't your poses today a bit too sexy?
[14:24] ---
Are they? I thought this
character would pose like this.
[14:28] ---
True... but...
[14:31] ---
People tend to find you sexy no matter what,
[14:35] ---
so didn't we decide to strive for a G-rated
atmosphere, regardless of the character?
[14:40] ---
Th-That's right! I'm sorry!
[14:43] ---
Thank you for always thinking of me.
[14:46] ---
No, it's fine.
[14:48] ---
Tanaka-sempai is so kind!
[14:57] ---
Go ahead.
[15:01] ---
Ohno-san! What's happened to
you? Everybody's watching!
[15:21] ---
I'm sorry, Tanaka-sempai. Hato, get it.
[15:24] ---
Right.
[15:25] ---
Actually, Yoshitake put her up to this.
[15:27] ---
Don't tell him that!
[15:31] ---
Ohno-sempai has already
polished off the bottle.
[15:34] ---
It was delicious!
[15:38] ---
Why?
[15:46] ---
You're seriously making that cosplay CD?
[15:50] ---
Those things are pretty hot,
even for the all-ages stuff.
[15:55] ---
The plan was for her to have a drink,
just to help her get in the mood.
[15:59] ---
But she was tougher than I thought.
[16:02] ---
And the next thing I knew,
she'd downed the whole bottle.
[16:04] ---
No, that's not it...
[16:07] ---
Didn't we talk about how making a CD like
that would be dangerous in a lot of ways?
[16:12] ---
But... I can't get a job!
[16:16] ---
It's November of my senior year!
It's not happening!
[16:21] ---
But you said we don't know what
could happen in the future...
[16:26] ---
So if I can't get a job,
what will happen to me?
[16:30] ---
Are you going to abandon me? Am I
going to end up making cosplay porn?
[16:34] ---
So why not just make a cosplay CD?
[16:39] ---
No! No! No! Listen!
[16:42] ---
I was talking about me...
like, what if I can't get a job?
[16:46] ---
Sempai! Sempai!
[16:48] ---
Ohno-sempai's been acting
pretty on edge lately.
[16:54] ---
I see. Thanks for telling me.
[16:59] ---
Damn you, Tanaka!
[17:02] ---
Here you go.
[17:13] ---
Listen, Ohno-san.
[17:17] ---
[17:17] ---
The reason I got so into cosplay that
I wanted to make a living on it,
[17:22] ---
was because of you.
[17:25] ---
I've come this far by making outfit
after outfit for you to wear.
[17:30] ---
Whether I do it on my own, or get
a job at a professional company,
[17:34] ---
I was planning on making cosplay
into my job either way.
[17:39] ---
There's no guarantee that will happen.
[17:43] ---
But I'll come up with something!
[17:46] ---
I'll use the talents you helped me
develop to get some kind of job.
[17:49] ---
I know one thing about
what the future may bring.
[17:53] ---
I'll help you cosplay forever.
[17:56] ---
Just... please wait for me.
[18:02] ---
Okay...
[18:03] ---
That was...
[18:04] ---
Can we interpret it that way?
[18:07] ---
I'm sure we can! He proposed!
[18:11] ---
Damn you, Tanaka...
[18:13] ---
Then I...
[18:16] ---
I'll go back to school for
another year and wait!
[18:29] ---
She fell asleep.
[18:31] ---
I'm sorry. I got her drunk...
[18:34] ---
No. I'm glad I got to hear
how she really feels.
[18:38] ---
But I hope she's not serious
about that last part.
[18:43] ---
I guess we had to watch
them work things out today.
[18:49] ---
Yeah.
[18:50] ---
Is Ohno-sempai really okay like that?
Not that it's any of my business.
[18:56] ---
Her parents are gonna cry.
[18:57] ---
I hope she can graduate, and
get a job near the university.
[19:02] ---
You mean like Madarame-sempai?
[19:05] ---
Oh, hey there, everyone.
[19:07] ---
Madarame-sempai, what's up? Why are you
here now, and not in your work clothes?
[19:11] ---
I just went to Akihabara.
[19:14] ---
Akihabara? It's a weekday.
[19:18] ---
Well, you know...
[19:24] ---
I quit my job.
[19:26] ---
[19:28] ---
I guess you could say I've
decided to be a failure at life.
[19:33] ---
So I went on a search and destroy mission
to Akihabara, since it's been awhile.
[19:37] ---
But I'd forgotten how crowded
it gets even on weekdays.
[19:44] ---
Huh?
[19:48] ---
I'm sorry... is an odd
thing to say, I suppose.
[19:52] ---
Anyway, you can use this
room just like you used to.
[19:57] ---
Okay...
[19:58] ---
I'll be heading outside, then.
[20:04] ---
Um, Sempai.
[20:08] ---
Have you told Kasukabe-sempai?
[20:13] ---
I'll get around to it.
[20:22] ---
Yeah... she'll be surprised.
[20:29] ---
So this is what it's like
to be unemployed, huh?
[20:42] ---
It's not good for somebody who's graduated
to hang around their old school forever.
[20:56] ---
Sempai! Madarame-sempai!
[21:02] ---
Hato-kun?
[21:08] ---
Hato-kun!
[21:09] ---
Sempai! You're not going to
stop coming to the club, are you?
[21:13] ---
[21:14] ---
You'll stay forever, won't you?
[21:17] ---
What is this? What is this? What is this?
[21:20] ---
If you keep at it, you might
really unlock the harem route.

[23:09] ---
So why did somebody like
Kasukabe-sempai join Genshiken?
[23:13] ---
It was complicated. You can watch the
Blu-Ray box of the first two seasons for the details.
[23:16] ---
She's advertising the show!
[23:17] ---
Advertising's important! You need
to sell, or the show won't continue.
[23:20] ---
Sometimes they make a Season Two because
Season One sold, and then it bombs!

That's way too gloomy!

Well, we've got one episode left! Watch it,
'cause next time, there'll be fanservice!

There's no fanservice from me, so enjoy!

[00:08] ---
She's not here! There's
no Hato-kun here!
[00:12] ---
Huh?
[00:13] ---
She hasn't been to the club
room for a while, either?
[00:17] ---
There's more to this, isn't there?
[00:20] ---
Something had to have happened.
[00:22] ---
No, no, no, that's all. Seriously.
[00:24] ---
Basically, I quit my job,
[00:26] ---
and Hato-kun was worried,
and that's all.
[00:29] ---
Was your quitting that
big a deal for her?
[00:32] ---
But why?
[00:34] ---
Those are the eyes of a liar!
[00:36] ---
It's true! I'm as shocked as you are!
[00:40] ---
Call. Ask Hato.
[00:43] ---
No. If she isn't coming, it's
because she doesn't want to come.
[00:47] ---
And it'd be weird to ask why now,
and even moreso on the phone...
[00:50] ---
Ask.
[01:02] ---
Connecting you to voice mail...
SIGN Genshiken Second Generation
[01:23] ---
She...
[01:24] ---
She realized!
[01:27] ---
She realized, and that's why she ran.
[01:29] ---
She ran from you too, huh?
[01:32] ---
This is a huge honking deal!
[01:35] ---
You just wanted to say "honking."
[01:37] ---
I guess the obvious idea is that
having Rame-sempai at home all day
[01:42] ---
means she doesn't want
to change there anymore.
[01:46] ---
I don't know about that--
[01:47] ---
But refusing to expect the obvious
[01:50] ---
is what makes us rotten girls!
[01:52] ---
I prefer to think that Hato-kun
[01:56] ---
is torn between not wanting to change while
sempai's around, and wanting him to see!
[02:00] ---
I'm sure you would.
[02:02] ---
So basically, she's coming to university,
but doesn't want to see us or Madarame-san.
[02:14] ---
Time for the second ever,
[02:17] ---
"I can't believe we're
actually going on a trip!"
[02:23] ---
Waiting in the Club Room.
[02:34] ---
Sorry.
[02:36] ---
I don't know if a graduate
should really be here.
[02:38] ---
No, no, we're glad you came.
[02:41] ---
We were worried about having Kuchiki-sempai
and Hato-kun alone together.
[02:44] ---
I prefer Kuchi x Mata!
[02:47] ---
Ow...
[02:48] ---
Let's go to the roof.
[02:50] ---
I haven't felt this
angry in a long time.
[02:53] ---
Hato's late. Is she coming?
[02:55] ---
She can't back out!
[02:57] ---
She told Sue she'd go, right?
[03:06] ---
She's here!
[03:07] ---
Over here!
[03:08] ---
She looks different than usual today.
[03:19] ---
Hello, everyone.
[03:22] ---
I'm sorry.
[03:29] ---
We've done this before...
[03:31] ---
Gone on a trip with all of Genshiken.
[03:35] ---
Not Yamanashi, but to Karuizawa.
[03:38] ---
Is it something you do every year?
[03:40] ---
No, it's not.
[03:43] ---
Sasahara-san's little
sister was here then,
[03:46] ---
and it was just something we did.
[03:51] ---
It's a mystery how Sue knew about
our trip to Karuizawa, though.
[03:56] ---
"I can't believe we're
all going on a trip!"
[03:59] ---
What doesn't kill us makes us crippled!
[04:01] ---
That's not what we want.
[04:02] ---
I'm in despair!
[04:04] ---
What?
[04:04] ---
All's well that end's well!
[04:06] ---
I don't really get it.
[04:08] ---
But you want us to help
out Hato-kun on this trip?
[04:11] ---
But I can't go with a guy...
[04:16] ---
What is that?
[04:18] ---
What, Ohgi-sempai?
[04:20] ---
No, I mean... how do
we contact Hato-kun?
[04:23] ---
Her phone! She's not
picking up her phone!
[04:26] ---
1 1 5!
[04:27] ---
[04:28] ---
A telegram, you mean!
[04:30] ---
A telegram?
[04:32] ---
It's cheap.
[04:34] ---
25 characters is 440 yen.
[04:36] ---
Um... "Genshiken Trip."
[04:39] ---
Come along.
[04:41] ---
Without punctuation, that's 25 exactly.
[04:43] ---
I'll send it.
[04:45] ---
Um... couldn't we just send a text--
[04:46] ---
Is it a celebratory telegram?
[04:48] ---
Why?
[04:49] ---
There's all different kinds!
[04:54] ---
Why are you taking pictures?
[04:55] ---
The sky of Tachikawa!
[04:56] ---
The clocks of Tachikawa!
[04:58] ---
The sign saying "Tachikawa"
of Tachikawa!
[05:00] ---
Us in Tachikawa!
[05:03] ---
I was surprised too.
I'd never gotten a telegram.
[05:07] ---
And it came with a stuffed bear.
[05:10] ---
I told them a text message
would work just as well.
[05:13] ---
Express Train #101 is
now arriving on track 6.
[05:20] ---
Backlighting means victory!
SIGN A Tour of the Takeda Clan's History
[05:47] ---
Look at this, everyone!
[05:50] ---
The coolest guy in the civil wars was
Shingen, and the best general was Shingen,
[05:52] ---
and the coolest guy in Kai was Shingen!
[05:54] ---
I count myself as the twenty-fifth
of Takeda's twenty-four generals,
[05:58] ---
and I've taken the liberty of
detailing his glorious deeds.
[06:00] ---
I don't really care.
[06:02] ---
No. Not okay. As a Japanese person--
[06:04] ---
No, as a human being, that's not okay!
[06:07] ---
What the heck?
[06:08] ---
You decided where we're going
without asking us, either.
[06:10] ---
What are you saying?
[06:12] ---
You guys weren't settling on anything.
[06:14] ---
He's bald with a beard!
[06:15] ---
He is! And he's still a bottom!
[06:17] ---
Seriously?
[06:18] ---
It's the low overcoming the high!
[06:20] ---
Saigou Takamori was also
supposed to be bald and fat.
[06:23] ---
What?
[06:23] ---
I'm sorry, can anybody
who's not gay leave?
[06:26] ---
It's said that a hero
enjoys his lusts, but...
[06:29] ---
What kind of lusts do
you think they enjoyed?
[06:33] ---
In Shingen's case,
[06:35] ---
he wrote regretful letters to his
younger darlings, so he's the real thing!
[06:39] ---
It was normal back then, though.
[06:42] ---
And he was supposedly
very weak and ill too.
[06:45] ---
How great, huh?
[06:47] ---
By the way, my personal favorite story
[06:50] ---
is the fight between
his successor Katsuyori
SIGN Takeda Shrine
[06:51] ---
and the retainers who served Shingen.
[06:55] ---
A love triangle over a great general
[06:57] ---
that continues even after his death!
[07:00] ---
It's great!
[07:01] ---
Thank you, civil wars!
[07:03] ---
Thank you, Takeda Clan!
SIGN Isawa Hot Springs Station
[07:06] ---
Yoshi Warriors.
[07:07] ---
I'm getting a glimpse into
the potential of history.
[07:10] ---
I've heard enough about history for now.
[07:12] ---
And so for you, Yajimacchi,
we've got the Isawa Hot Springs.
[07:15] ---
For me?
[07:16] ---
It's a new onsen! It appeared in a
field sometime about 70 years ago.
[07:20] ---
I can tell you its history if you want.
[07:23] ---
Please don't!
[07:23] ---
Let's get to the inn for now.
[07:26] ---
We've walked so much.
[07:31] ---
This inn's pretty nice.
[07:33] ---
I see. I see.
[07:35] ---
You think they get TV here?
[07:37] ---
I've prepared for if they don't!
[07:39] ---
I can record at my house and send
it over wi-fi and the Internet!
[07:42] ---
We can enjoy our shows in real
time at the end of the Earth!
[07:45] ---
Huh?
[07:45] ---
There's no Internet here.
[07:47] ---
No!
[07:50] ---
Come on in, Hato-kun.
[07:51] ---
Right.
[07:54] ---
They've got some snacks.
[07:56] ---
I'll make tea.
[07:58] ---
Yeah? Thanks.
[08:01] ---
What are these called again?
[08:04] ---
Whenever I see one, I feel
like I'm on vacation.
[08:07] ---
That's called a kyousoku.
[08:09] ---
I see. Kyousoku, kyousoku...
[08:12] ---
Anyway, I guess one of
the perks of unemployment
[08:16] ---
is getting to take a
vacation on a weekday.
[08:23] ---
Hey, where are you getting
a job, Kuchiki-kun?
[08:26] ---
My dad's getting me a job at a bank.
[08:28] ---
Oh. Nice.
[08:30] ---
Seriously! Is there any point
to all those rules about bowing?
[08:33] ---
And why do they insist on me
not saying "nyo" all the time?
[08:35] ---
How deeply you bow signifies how you
feel and what you're saying, right?
[08:39] ---
Ninety degrees is the most polite.
[08:41] ---
And don't clasp your hands behind your
back, keep them clasped in front.
[08:44] ---
You're a slave of society!
[08:45] ---
Former slave. Now I'm a NEET.
[08:48] ---
Um, what are you--
[08:49] ---
Charge into the boy's room next door!
[08:51] ---
Yay! Hello, folks!
[08:52] ---
Excuse us.
[08:54] ---
This is a nice room.
[08:55] ---
It's just you three guys,
so it feels pretty big.
[08:58] ---
You can see the mountains
from here, can't you?
[09:01] ---
Girls love checking out people's rooms.
[09:03] ---
We do, yeah.
[09:05] ---
I enjoyed seeing your room, Rame-sempai.
[09:09] ---
Seriously?
[09:10] ---
You're awful.
[09:11] ---
My first time visiting a guy's
room was Madarame-sempai's place.
[09:15] ---
Really?
[09:16] ---
I went to an all girls high school.
[09:18] ---
So I didn't have many
chances. Or any, actually.
[09:20] ---
I'm amazed your parents
let you come here.
[09:23] ---
Did you tell them there
were guys going too?
[09:25] ---
The magic words were "school trip."
[09:27] ---
My sister's away from home
all the time on them.
[09:30] ---
I see.
[09:30] ---
Her trips are real school trips, right?
[09:33] ---
But in our case...
[09:35] ---
No, no, no, don't underestimate
us humanities types.
[09:38] ---
You won't be getting any sleep tonight!
[09:40] ---
Yeah.
[09:41] ---
We've got a lot to talk about.
[09:43] ---
Oh, Hato-chin. What will
you be doing for your bath?
[09:46] ---
What are you talking about?
Hato's going to the guy's bath.
[09:49] ---
Oh, no, Yajimacchi.
[09:51] ---
I was asking if she'd take
it before or after dinner.
[09:54] ---
W-Well...
[09:56] ---
Before, right?
[09:57] ---
The baths here are supposed
to be really nice.
[10:01] ---
They've got waterfalls, herbal
baths, and open-air baths.
[10:04] ---
I can't wait, can you?
[10:06] ---
No...
[10:07] ---
I'll use the one in my room.
[10:09] ---
Why?
[10:10] ---
"Why?"
[10:11] ---
Don't force him.
[10:12] ---
We're at a hot springs! The bath
in your room isn't a hot springs!
[10:15] ---
But Hato's got--
[10:18] ---
Got?
[10:20] ---
Nothing...
[10:21] ---
Hato, you decide.
[10:24] ---
What do we do?
[10:26] ---
Want to go?
[10:27] ---
We'll do the mixed bath!
[10:28] ---
Just like in Karuizawa!
[10:30] ---
Guys and girls go in at different
times! Don't be weird!
[10:34] ---
Let's go! Let's go!
[10:35] ---
They've got towels and stuff over there.
[10:37] ---
Yeah. I guess I might
as well, since we're here.
[10:43] ---
Hato-kun.
[10:44] ---
Yes?
[10:46] ---
I recommend it too.
[10:49] ---
The hot springs.
[11:01] ---
Enough!
[11:03] ---
That's a misdemeanor.
[11:06] ---
I can't see a thing. This is rough.
[11:09] ---
It's not rough. Go
take off your glasses.
[11:11] ---
Normally it's the guys who do this.
[11:14] ---
You're worried too, right Ohno-sempai?
[11:16] ---
Beautiful Hato-chin is
all alone with the guys.
[11:19] ---
And totally smooth!
[11:20] ---
You--
[11:21] ---
The fantasy train in my
mind is out of control!
[11:24] ---
We don't even know if
they're over there!
[11:27] ---
They might be using the bath in the room.
[11:28] ---
No way.
[11:30] ---
Ohgi-sempai's on it,
and Sue-san's helping!
[11:33] ---
Together, those two are invincible.
[11:35] ---
Invincible?
[11:37] ---
What are you fighting against?
[11:40] ---
After that happened, we started to
understand each other a little better.
[11:43] ---
Or maybe you could say
they understood me better.
[11:45] ---
I was imagining BL
[11:48] ---
between you and Madarame-san.
[11:50] ---
I've drawn... dozens of
pictures already...
[11:55] ---
I guess I stopped running.
[11:58] ---
I'm glad I was able to change.
[12:03] ---
Glad you were able to change?
[12:07] ---
Yes.
[12:09] ---
I'm going to take a bath too.
[12:13] ---
Um...
[12:18] ---
Why was it a good thing
that you could change?
[12:22] ---
Hato-kun,
[12:24] ---
do you regret being here right now?
[12:27] ---
I don't, but...
[12:30] ---
Then isn't that enough?
[12:48] ---
I'll seduce Hato-chin
with my Sukikiyo pose!
[12:52] ---
I can't wait!
[13:02] ---
Hato-chin!
[13:18] ---
KO Count: 1.
[13:21] ---
Sue's not here, huh?
[13:23] ---
In America, sometimes
you just take a shower.
[13:26] ---
Maybe she doesn't like hot springs.
[13:28] ---
I don't think so...
[13:30] ---
I'm sorry I'm late.
[13:32] ---
Did you get to talk to Hato-kun?
[13:36] ---
Yes, I did. A little.
[13:44] ---
What's that laugh?
[13:46] ---
I was just thinking about how happy I feel.
[13:49] ---
I mean, isn't this wonderful?
[13:51] ---
Trips! Friends! Open baths!
[13:54] ---
What? You had me thinking
you'd gotten engaged.
[13:57] ---
Wait, Ohno-sempai.
[13:59] ---
Your breasts were that big before
you began seeing Tanaka-sempai?
[14:02] ---
What? Yes, I guess...
[14:05] ---
Ohhh... and even after seeing Sasa-sempai, your
breasts are still like that, Ohgi-sempai?
[14:11] ---
There's no good answer to that question.
[14:15] ---
Looks like it's just an
urban legend, Yajimacchi.
[14:19] ---
What is?
[14:20] ---
You're not gonna say, "Do
you want to touch them?"
[14:23] ---
Not this time.
[14:24] ---
The freshmen might freak out...
[14:26] ---
After all we've been through?
I bet Yoshitake-san would love it.
[14:30] ---
They say if you rub
them they get bigger!
[14:30] ---
She's already rubbing Yajima-san's.
[14:32] ---
I'm just fat!
[14:34] ---
Oh come on, it can't hurt!
[14:34] ---
Shut up!
[14:35] ---
Bouncy boobs! Damn it!
[14:39] ---
Hey, Sue! Be quiet!
[14:50] ---
Thanks.
[14:52] ---
No problem.
[15:07] ---
It's nice to have a big bath.
[15:10] ---
Y-Yeah.
[15:15] ---
So smooth... that's not a guy's skin.
[15:18] ---
Whoops.
[15:28] ---
I never thought I'd go to a hot
springs and go, "Ooh," and, "Aah."
[15:34] ---
I've even got a hot springs episode
folder on my hard drive too.
[15:38] ---
Hot springs episode?
[15:39] ---
Yeah. You know, just downloading
the good pics from the Internet...
[15:43] ---
Haven't done it lately, though.
[15:45] ---
But now that I'm not working, I'm
going to have more time on my hands.
[15:50] ---
I can spend as much time
on the Internet as I want.
[15:52] ---
Um...
[15:53] ---
[15:55] ---
What are you going to do now?
[16:00] ---
No, I'm sorry.
[16:02] ---
That's not what I mean...
What I mean is...
[16:07] ---
I'll look for a job.
[16:10] ---
I only took the one I had
because it was near campus.
[16:14] ---
I'm going to be more careful next time.
[16:16] ---
Okay...
[16:18] ---
It feels like I'm just now graduating.
[16:25] ---
Sempai.
[16:26] ---
Y-Yeah?
[16:28] ---
Thank you for everything.
[16:30] ---
I've apologized a lot, and
said a lot of rude things,
[16:35] ---
but I don't think I've ever thanked you.
[16:38] ---
Well...
[16:40] ---
For a second there, I thought you were going to
stop coming to my place and stop cross-dressing.
[16:45] ---
But just for a second.
[16:48] ---
Are you?
[16:50] ---
Well...
[16:53] ---
You're really stopping?
[16:55] ---
I don't know.
[16:57] ---
But I think I'll have to at some point.
[17:01] ---
Why?
[17:04] ---
Because, well...
[17:07] ---
A lot's going to change.
[17:10] ---
It has to change...
[17:13] ---
Me, and everyone around me.
[17:16] ---
I mean you quit your job--
[17:19] ---
I can't say there was some
big motivation behind it.
[17:23] ---
I just kind of went with the flow,
and this is how it turned out.
[17:27] ---
Went with the flow?
[17:29] ---
I figure cross-dressing's just
like robots, lolis, trains, or BL.
[17:33] ---
It's just something you're into.
[17:36] ---
So don't worry, Hato-kun.
[17:38] ---
You're an otaku.
[17:40] ---
That will never change.
[17:44] ---
And that means whether or not you
cross-dress isn't really that important.
[17:51] ---
Do it if you want,
[17:53] ---
and stop when you want to stop.
[17:56] ---
And then you can decide
if you'll start again.
[17:59] ---
Doesn't thinking that way make things easier?
[18:02] ---
I can decide?
[18:03] ---
Yup, yup.
[18:04] ---
You've still got plenty of time.
[18:15] ---
Yeah.
[18:25] ---
And then all of a sudden,
[18:26] ---
I was enveloped by a white shadow.
[18:28] ---
And the next thing I knew,
I woke up in my futon!
[18:31] ---
I'm not saying it was aliens,
but it was aliens!
[18:33] ---
Do you want me to dissect you?
[18:36] ---
No, sir.
[18:38] ---
So before our toast,
[18:40] ---
let's start our first, "Should Hato-chan
dress as a boy or girl?" meeting!
[18:44] ---
I say girl!
[18:46] ---
We're all having dinner in our yukata.
[18:49] ---
From all that stuff you brought,
[18:51] ---
you've got the tools you need, don't you?
[18:54] ---
I want to see Hato-kun looking cute!
[18:59] ---
No, wait--
[19:00] ---
Who thinks Hato-chan
should dress as a girl!
[19:02] ---
[19:02] ---
[19:03] ---
I guess I'm in.
[19:09] ---
All right.
[19:13] ---
This is...
[19:15] ---
...kind of embarrassing,
when I think about it.
[19:18] ---
No, I think you do look
more natural this way.
[19:22] ---
Yajimacchi's given her approval!
[19:24] ---
I don't mean that it's okay to cross-dress!
[19:26] ---
I just mean that I'm more used
to it! Don't get the wrong idea.
[19:28] ---
I know that!
[19:30] ---
You're a real tsundere, after all.
[19:32] ---
Who calls people tsundere anymore?
[19:34] ---
[19:35] ---
[19:37] ---
Am I saying it?
[19:38] ---
Yeah.
[19:38] ---
You're the president.
[19:41] ---
Um... okay, then.
[19:45] ---
Cheers!
[19:46] ---
Cheers!
[19:51] ---
Then we can add King
Arthur and Lancelot!
[19:54] ---
Add Caesar, 'cause he's bald too!
[19:57] ---
That'll make it all old men.
[19:59] ---
Not that I mind...
[20:00] ---
We can add young Japanese boys
like Ushiwakamaru and Ranmaru,
[20:02] ---
and give it some shota too!
[20:05] ---
That's way too many characters!
[20:07] ---
Is it?
[20:08] ---
I think a school for reincarnated heroes
is perfect for a collaborative work.
[20:12] ---
But who's going to figure
out a plot for it?
[20:15] ---
It's just a buncha jokes.
[20:16] ---
No problem. We steal from Femto.
[20:19] ---
I mean, we pay homage to it!
[20:21] ---
Or we can have Rame-sempai do it.
[20:23] ---
That's crazy.
[20:25] ---
You don't make anything for Comic
Festival! You just buy stuff, right?
[20:27] ---
Then you've got time
at the end of the year.
[20:29] ---
There's no way. I don't
know what girls like...
[20:31] ---
Then at this Comic Festival...
[20:33] ---
Here.
[20:33] ---
...we can hit up all the
girls booths and ask!
[20:34] ---
Thanks.
[20:36] ---
I want to be part of the Yoshitake Tour!
[20:38] ---
Yes I am!
[20:40] ---
What about you, Hato-kun?
[20:42] ---
Oh? I'm just going to...
[20:45] ---
Going to what?
[20:46] ---
I'll participate, of course!
[20:48] ---
All right!
[20:49] ---
At this rate,
[20:50] ---
next year's Mebaetame
will be the biggest ever!
[20:54] ---
We've split up the story and art before,
[20:56] ---
but never done a whole collaboration.
[20:58] ---
Is it really going to work?
[21:01] ---
Let's do it!
[23:30] ---
You came!
[23:31] ---
Welcome back.
[23:32] ---
We've got good pictures.
[23:34] ---
So we made prints!
[23:35] ---
Come take a look!
