[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] ---
    Next time on Genshiken: Second Generation:
    Shout "Moe!" Beyond the Event Horizon
