**[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?
***SIGN*** By Your Side
***SIGN*** Alphabet Play
**[02:44] ---**
And those are mine! You're doing
this deliberately again, aren't you?
***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.
***SIGN*** Genshiken Second Generation
***SIGN*** The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture Drawing Demonstration
**[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] ---**
Next time on *Genshiken Second
Generation*: "Cross Over My Legs".

**[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.
***SIGN*** *Mebaetame*
**[02:19] ---**
I've made a profile for myself
to give you an example.
**[02:23] ---**
That's pretty good!

Funz!
**[02:33] ---**
I don't get it. What kind of Ogiue?
**[02:36] ---**
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.
**[10:16] ---**
Thank you.

Hato...
**[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.
***SIGN*** Preview
**[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!
**[23:35] ---**

**[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.
**[20:06] ---**
Pictures?
**[20:16] ---**
They're all...
**[20:18] ---**
They're all...
**[20:25] ---**
Madarame-sempai likes Kasukabe-sempai?
**[20:32] ---**
Affairs are so hot!
**[20:33] ---**
Shut up! You don't know
what a man's heart is like!
**[20:37] ---**
T-That's insulting! I'm you, after all!
***SIGN*** Cosplay Day
**[22:30] ---**
Kyouko, are you really doing that?
***SIGN*** Kyouko (Real name: Sasahara Keiko)
**[22:33] ---**
Yup, sure am!
**[22:35] ---**
We've got a bunny girl, a
nurse, and a high school girl.
**[22:37] ---**
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'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.

All right! Nobody found me out!
**[14:48] ---**
Okay! I'll buy a lot!

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!

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.

**[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!
**[23:35] ---**

**[00:08] ---**
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] ---**

**[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?
***SIGN*** After Festival
**[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.
***SIGN*** Preview

I'm not sure about our postwar

**[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.

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!
**[09:19] ---**
Things have been pretty bad lately.
**[09:24] ---**
There it is.
**[09:31] ---**
Roger.
**[09:38] ---**
What's wrong? You don't have to
wait, you can go ahead and leave.
**[09:42] ---**
Um...
**[09:44] ---**
It's been a while since I've seen you, so I
was wondering if we could chat for a bit.
**[09:52] ---**
***SIGN*** I didn't apologize for what happened with Kuchiki-sempai.
***SIGN*** Talk
Confess Love
Quit
***SIGN*** It doesn't matter.
***SIGN***
***SIGN*** Oh, sorry. My makeup's all sloppy, so please don't stare at me!
***SIGN*** Talk
Confess Love
Quit
***SIGN*** No, I can't tell! Did I make you hurry? Sorry.
**[10:06] ---**
No, no, no! Guy! Guy! Guy!
***SIGN*** Talk
Confess Love
Quit
***SIGN*** Well, no sense in standing here. Want to go in?
***SIGN***
***SIGN*** Okay...
**[10:16] ---**
*Guy!*
**[10:20] ---**
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.
**[23:36] ---**

**[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
Leadership Committee!
**[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.
**[11:20] ---**

**[12:06] ---**
Saki-san's coming!
**[12:09] ---**
If we're cosplaying, she might too!
**[12:13] ---**
I don't think she's the type who's
influenced by things like that.
**[12:16] ---**
Ohno-sempai looks like she's having fun.
**[12:19] ---**
I think it's only a matter of time
before she gets us in trouble.
**[12:22] ---**
I'm handling the makeup today,
so I got out of having to cosplay.
**[12:27] ---**
You said you were going to try and
blend in, but you're wearing make-up!
**[12:31] ---**
I didn't think I could
get by without makeup.
**[12:33] ---**
You don't look plain at all!
**[12:35] ---**
I'm not wearing much!
**[12:38] ---**
Listen, idiot, "plain"
means somebody like me--
**[12:39] ---**
Welcome! Are you interested in cosplay?
**[12:43] ---**
Or maybe people like her.
**[12:46] ---**
Hey.
**[12:48] ---**
Mirei!
**[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
school you mentioned, right?
**[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.
**[13:14] ---**
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.
**[13:28] ---**
And this is Ogiue-sempai, the president.
**[13:30] ---**
Hi.
**[13:31] ---**
I hope you have a good time.
**[13:34] ---**
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...
**[14:15] ---**
The bond between the two of
them is stronger than I thought.

So it seems.

Oh? What is it?
**[14:47] ---**
Is that Kaminaga-sempai?
At the top of that staircase.
**[14:52] ---**
I can't tell.
**[14:53] ---**
I can't see her now.
**[14:54] ---**

I just can't tell!
There's too many people!

You sure it was Kaminaga-sempai?

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!
**[15:56] ---**
You always focus on the
details of history.
**[16:00] ---**
That was close.
**[16:01] ---**
It looks like you haven't been
slacking off in your studies.
**[16:05] ---**
"Question" and "Answer"...
isn't that from Zen Buddhism?
**[16:11] ---**
These two are from the

They're my sisters-in-arms, you might say.
**[16:16] ---**
Quiet. On the battlefield, we're enemies.
**[16:19] ---**
Ugh. You're not using the term right.
**[16:21] ---**
How?

Brothers-in-arms are allies
on the battlefield...
**[16:24] ---**
So it's Yoshitake-san's friends now?
**[16:27] ---**
It's a lot livelier in here now.
**[16:30] ---**
Is everybody here?
**[16:32] ---**
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] ---**
The stomach area is made
from stockings too.

Wow, it's really lively in here.
**[16:55] ---**
Oh, Madarame-sempai!
**[16:57] ---**
Hey.
**[16:58] ---**
Hey.
**[17:02] ---**
This is totally a cosplay
research club now, isn't it?
**[17:06] ---**
It is.
**[17:08] ---**
It's like a reunion for
Yoshitake-san and her friends.
**[17:11] ---**
I see.
**[17:14] ---**
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.
**[17:30] ---**
This is really amazing. Right, Ogiue-san?
**[17:33] ---**
It really is.
**[17:34] ---**
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
Kohsaka-san here already?
**[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?
**[18:30] ---**
Watanabe? Onee-chan?
**[18:32] ---**
Heh heh... well?
**[18:34] ---**
Well, what?
**[18:36] ---**
Well, those two are coming.
What are you going to do?
**[18:38] ---**
Nothing!
**[18:40] ---**
From what she said... does she know?
**[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.

show up when I'm eating!

**[00:03] ---**
It's cosplay everywhere.
**[00:05] ---**
They look just like
Kaminaga-sempai's drawings.
**[00:10] ---**
Can I look at this?
**[00:12] ---**
Yes, go ahead.
**[00:17] ---**
Well?
**[00:18] ---**
Here it is. But...
**[00:20] ---**
That's right. Right
now, I'm Takeya Mikako.
**[00:23] ---**
Oh, Hato-chan!
**[00:26] ---**
Why are you back to dressing like that?
**[00:34] ---**
Huh?
**[02:10] ---**
You just said... "Hato," didn't you?
**[02:14] ---**
**[02:16] ---**
**[02:20] ---**
Don't look over here!
**[02:25] ---**
Hato-kun's right over here.
**[02:31] ---**
Huh?
**[02:32] ---**
What?
**[02:35] ---**
Did I do something wrong?
**[02:39] ---**
**[02:41] ---**
Well?
**[02:44] ---**
Well? Well?
**[02:45] ---**
...No.
**[02:47] ---**
Well? Well? Well?
**[02:49] ---**
I can't tell!
**[02:52] ---**
Yes? Is something wrong?
**[02:55] ---**
**[02:57] ---**
Oh, no! That's totally a girl!
**[02:59] ---**
No way! There's no way that's Hato!
**[03:01] ---**
It's working! I can fool them!
**[03:09] ---**
**[03:12] ---**
Hey, Kenjiro.
**[03:21] ---**
**[03:23] ---**
It's my fault...
**[03:24] ---**
What?
**[03:26] ---**
I can't see anything without my glasses.
**[03:28] ---**
It's not your fault!
**[03:30] ---**
What's going on?
**[03:32] ---**
Um... I'm Ogiue, and I'm in charge here...
**[03:37] ---**
Why don't we all go somewhere else?
**[03:41] ---**
Snow Man.
***SIGN*** The Proud Pirate King
**[04:01] ---**
Hey.
**[04:03] ---**
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?
**[04:11] ---**
Sure you can.
**[04:15] ---**
Win!
**[04:18] ---**
This is so great...
**[04:20] ---**
Hato. Hato!
**[04:25] ---**
Stop it.
**[04:29] ---**
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.
**[07:11] ---**
Sempai... you're amazing.
***SIGN*** Art Club
**[07:15] ---**
Hey.
**[07:16] ---**
Kaminaga-sempai, it's been forever!
**[07:19] ---**
These are awesome too!
**[07:21] ---**
You don't know when to stop!
**[07:24] ---**
Time to copy! Time to copy.
**[07:35] ---**
Everybody's gone. Day's over, I guess.
**[07:41] ---**
That's sempai's...
**[08:02] ---**
Seriously?
**[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.
**[15:40] ---**
**[15:41] ---**
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?
**[15:56] ---**
In other words, Kenjiro wants to be me,
**[16:00] ---**
and be loved by Yuichiro!
***SIGN*** Yu
***SIGN*** Ken
***SIGN*** x
**[16:06] ---**
She's nuts.
**[16:07] ---**
She's rotten.
**[16:09] ---**
**[16:10] ---**
**[16:11] ---**
Well, I guess I can see it.
**[16:13] ---**
And they seem to be agreeing?
**[16:15] ---**
**[16:16] ---**
Of course, that's not true.
**[16:19] ---**
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.
**[16:48] ---**
**[16:49] ---**
This is creepy. I mean, I get it, but
it's creepy! But I do get it.
**[16:55] ---**
Hato... you...
**[16:57] ---**
You're really a rotten girl, aren't you?
**[17:00] ---**
I've always been like this.
**[17:03] ---**
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?
**[17:28] ---**
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.
**[17:55] ---**
**[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!
**[18:11] ---**
Just thinking about it almost
gives me a heart attack.
**[18:15] ---**
She's totally serious...
**[18:18] ---**
He told me to be the one to tell
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.
**[18:40] ---**
Already?
**[18:42] ---**
I just have to get back sometime today.
**[18:45] ---**
But I want to go to Ikebukuro.
**[18:48] ---**
Is that the main reason you're
here? I mean I understand, but...
**[18:51] ---**
What should we do?
**[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.
**[19:15] ---**
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
still hangs out with you?
**[19:58] ---**
They're not moving.
**[20:04] ---**
Did you give up?
**[20:10] ---**
Ultimate Attack!
**[20:17] ---**
Kiss.
**[20:28] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[20:29] ---**
No... it's nothing.
**[20:33] ---**
That was Madarame-sempai, wasn't it?
**[20:37] ---**
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.
**[21:14] ---**
It really was fun.
**[21:20] ---**
It really was...
**[21:24] ---**
...fun.

**[23:10] ---**
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] ---**
Next time on *Genshiken: Second Generation*

**[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!
**[23:23] ---**
That's way too gloomy!
**[23:25] ---**
Well, we've got one episode left! Watch it,
'cause next time, there'll be fanservice!
**[23:29] ---**
There's no fanservice from me, so enjoy!
**[23:31] ---**
None for me either...
**[23:33] ---**
What? What? There is?
**[23:35] ---**
Next time on *Genshiken: Second Generation*:
Waiting in the Club Room.

**[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!
