[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!
SIGN    East A-22ab Flower/Scales End of line
[14:23] ---
    Um... this is the place right?
[14:27] ---
    I see. So the last person holds the placard.
[14:31] ---
    I'll take that.
[14:35] ---
    I'll take that.
[14:36] ---
    Wow. It keeps getting longer.
[14:40] ---
    And they're all like me, right?
[14:42] ---
    Okay, five books will be 3500 yen.
[14:45] ---
    All right! Nobody found me out!
[14:48] ---
    Okay! I'll buy a lot!
[14:52] ---
    Looks like the first rush is over.
    We sold out of the copy books.
[14:56] ---
    I'm going to go buy some things, nyah!
[14:59] ---
    Wait!
[14:59] ---
    Two is plenty, and there's not room to sit.
[15:03] ---
    Bye!
SIGN    Men's Toilet
SIGN    Men's Toilet End of Line #2
[15:35] ---
    No, I'm #1.
SIGN    Men's Toilet End of Line #2
[15:45] ---
    I hope the next person comes soon.
[15:48] ---
    Thank you.
[15:51] ---
    Huh? Somebody other than Ogiue's
    got a manga this time.
[15:54] ---
    Thank yo--
[15:56] ---
    Can I have five copies?
[16:01] ---
    Sorry, that's us. 3500 yen.
[16:05] ---
    I see. So you two are Ogiue's
    partners right now, right?
[16:09] ---
    I don't know if "partner"
    is the right word for it.
[16:12] ---
    Tell me if somebody's behind you.
[16:13] ---
    Okay.
[16:14] ---
    Ogiue Chika is my waifu!
[16:16] ---
    Ssh.
[16:18] ---
    I see. I'm sorry.
[16:20] ---
    I was her classmate in middle school.
     My name's Nakajima.
[16:24] ---
    Yeah?
[16:26] ---
    I'm not, but she's in a circle
    with her called Genshiken.
[16:30] ---
    Ogiue's the president.
[16:32] ---
    The president of a circle? That's...
[16:36] ---
    ... not like her at all!
[16:38] ---
    Right? Not at all!
[16:41] ---
    Anyway, that makes me feel relieved.
[16:43] ---
    I was worried that she'd...
[16:46] ---
    ...try to kill herself over a guy again.
[16:55] ---
    Last year Ogiue was here
    with her boyfriend right?
[17:00] ---
    When she didn't show up at the last Comic Festival,
     I was afraid something had happened.
[17:05] ---
    Back in middle school,
[17:06] ---
    she used her boyfriend
    Makita-kun in a BL book.
[17:10] ---
    He ended up having to change
    schools, and then she...
[17:13] ---
    No, no, no. Nakajima-san, was it?
[17:17] ---
    It's the perfect job for Ogiue, I think.
[17:22] ---
    I could understand if it was the old Ogiue.
[17:28] ---
    I know that too.
[17:30] ---
    And her boyfriend does too! But they're dating!
     And they're really happy!
[17:36] ---
    Looks like you didn't have to worry.
[17:40] ---
    So it seems.
[17:43] ---
    How many years has it been?
    Six? That's a long time.
[17:50] ---
    I think I'll go now.
[17:51] ---
    Will you be back after Ogiue gets here?
[17:55] ---
    No, I won't.
[17:57] ---
    You sure?
[17:58] ---
    I'm sure you two understand that
    it's better if I don't meet her.
[18:04] ---
    I probably won't stop by at the
    next Comic Festival either.
[18:07] ---
    So don't worry.
[18:17] ---
    She didn't notice?
[18:19] ---
    Looks so.
[18:22] ---
    We're still selling books? That's great.
[18:27] ---
    She didn't even notice!
[18:29] ---
    Wait, why is your face so red?
[18:32] ---
    I'm running a 39°C fever...
[18:36] ---
    Hey, you know what we have to do, right?
[18:38] ---
    'Course!
[18:39] ---
    Don't say anything about that girl.
[18:41] ---
    'Course not!
[18:43] ---
    Okay.
[18:45] ---
    Take her.
[18:46] ---
    Yes ma'am!
[18:51] ---
    Leave the rest to me.
[18:56] ---
    Ogiue was right behind us.
[18:58] ---
    There's no need to talk to her.
[19:00] ---
    But now Makita-kun is...
[19:02] ---
    There's no need to tell her that!
[19:04] ---
    We don't need to make her life any better.
[19:08] ---
    Why are you such a bitch?
[19:11] ---
    It's nothing new, so you
    don't need to say anything.
[19:19] ---
    Isn't it amazing? Ogiue-san's books sold out!
[19:24] ---
    It was fun selling them! Wasn't it, guys?
[19:28] ---
    Yeah.
[19:28] ---
    Yes!
[19:30] ---
    Think we could get a hand here?
[19:34] ---
    Madarame-san and the others
    will be here on day three.
[19:37] ---
    Madarame!
[19:40] ---
    He has really pretty fingers, you know?
[19:45] ---
    Is she talking about Madarame-sempai?
[19:49] ---
    Here's today's earnings,
    and some doujinshi I found.
[19:53] ---
    I'd like you to count it up,
     but I don't think you can right now.
[19:58] ---
    We can have Sue do it, or...
[20:02] ---
    ... have him do it.
[20:09] ---
    Let's go, Sue.
[20:10] ---
    Sue... Sue, thanks. You can go now.
[20:16] ---
    I hope you and your boyfriend explode!
[20:28] ---
    I'm sorry, Sasahara-san.
[20:30] ---
    Hm?
[20:31] ---
    I thought if Sue saw me crying, she'd worry.
[20:36] ---
    Mm.
[20:38] ---
    I made her help me with a private project
    that had nothing to do with Genshiken,
[20:42] ---
    and then I got too sick to come
    on the day we sold our doujinshi!
[20:47] ---
    Mm.
[20:48] ---
    I feel like I'm a failure as a president!
[20:52] ---
    I see.
[20:53] ---
    And then maybe...
[20:55] ---
    They might think I just wanted
    to go to Comic Festival today.
[20:59] ---
    Ehh...
[21:02] ---
    Want to come to my place?
     You worked hard today.
[21:09] ---
    Yabu... Sue loves Yabu!
[21:14] ---
    What?
[21:16] ---
    A fish with a human face!
[21:18] ---
    I hope my cold gets better, and then...
[21:21] ---
    Even if your fever goes down,
     you shouldn't go tomorrow or the day after.
[21:24] ---
    Really?
[21:26] ---
    Yup.
[21:27] ---
    I shouldn't?
[21:28] ---
    You shouldn't.
SIGN    Preview
[23:10] ---
    The summer anime shows have already
    finished episode 4? Time flies.
[23:14] ---
    I'm sure everyone's talking about
    which shows they've dropped online.
[23:17] ---
    I always give a series three episodes!
[23:19] ---
    So you actually drop shows?
     That's nothing to be proud of.
[23:21] ---
    You always get mad when something
    gets popular after you drop it.
[23:23] ---
    That's when I say everybody
    else on the board is a shill!
[23:25] ---
    You're horrible!
[23:26] ---
    Viral marketing! Viral marketing!
[23:28] ---
    Any time something sells that I don't like,
     it's due to viral marketing!
[23:30] ---
    The anime I like should sell a lot,
     and the ones I don't shouldn't sell at all!
[23:33] ---
    I don't care!
[23:34] ---
    Next time on Genshiken: Second Generation
    Go Next!
