…but now is as good a time as any for the 73rd, 74th, 75th, etc. This Month's Genshiken was Awesome meeting.

The thread from last summer hit autosage a few months ago. Our unofficial Anon-president doesn't seem to have been back since, so I'm starting off a new one, because we're ten more chapters in.

Anonspore is still diligently dishing out translations for us on a tight schedule.
anonspore.blogspot.com

I suppose I can start by going over what's been going on since 72:
-The gang is preparing for the next school festival.
-Ogiue is trying to help Hato overcome his artistic difficulties.
-Flashbacks: we learn a little about Yajima and Yoshitake's pasts, but Hato's lips are sealed for now.
-The MadaSakiKosa(+Hato) love triangle (square?) continues to develop.

Major plot development is in the near future as we build up to the festival, which we begin in Chapter 75.

Even if only to get "犬姦", "獣姦" and "異種姦" out of the related tags.

Welcome back, everyone. This is the 64th "This Month's Genshiken Was Awesome" meeting. This month we are late because no one translated the chapter until now. That said, we have a new group doing the translation, and they're off to a great start. A huge welcome and thanks to Daitai Sonna Tokoro Scanlation! Check out their blog at http://daitai.tumblr.com/ and, of course, their translation of Genshiken chapter 64 at http://www.multiupload.com/K1OLZ9K1MZ

I don't really know how to start this meeting, since I don't have a ton to say about this chapter. I'll start with the only bit that was truly spectacular: the art. The color pages that open the chapter are glorious, and I was absolutely in love with the various snippets of cosplay we got in color, especially Hato. What I would give for every chapter to have some color in them... Anyway, the story for this issue is kinda dull, if you ask me.

It's a fairly standard Comifes story, but all the normal bits of banter that take place in lines and at the booth (the bits that I really enjoy) are severely shrunk to make room for a scene of Ogiue's old classmates coming to the booth and talking to Sue and Yabusaki about how Ogiue was in the old days. And me, I couldn't care less. Yeah, we get it, you're an insufferable bitch and you ruined Ogiue's life. Ogiue is pretty well over it by this point, what with being a recognized artist in a successful relationship.

I'm disappointed that you guys didn't update with the latest chapter! Which was apparently released 2 weeks ago! How else will I know unless my bros on the Genshiken imageboard tell me??

http://anonspore.blogspot.com/2012/01/genshiken-chapter-72-volume-11-extras.html

I really enjoyed the 4-komas in the vol 11 extras. I wonder if Del Rey is going to release this in America. Is manga even being published anymore or have they all gone bankrupt?

Anyway, let's talk about this! Is this a sign of the end times of Genshiken? Without Madarame around, it really is the new generation only. I don't know how to feel about this - the dynamic is kind of set between the girls then without the interesting love triangleness of Hato interfering with Madarame. Then again, Yajima seems to have a thing for Hato so maybe there can be something there.

Also I like how the 4komas are basically about how much Susie loves Ogiue. So cute.

>> No.3322  

>>3320
What kind of world do you live in where less than 24 hours = 2 weeks?

I don't think that Madarame is going to exit stage left just because he said so. It's a sign that he's finally trying to move on past Saki like Keiko told him, but I don't think he'd succeed without some actual resolution courtesy of Saki herself. Hopefully that comes with the school festival.

>> No.3323  
>I wonder if Del Rey is going to release this in America.

Actually, Kodansha set up an American label that took over Del Rey Manga about two years ago, which makes it more likely than not.

>> No.3332  

So, re-reading the chapter where Ogiue's friends from her high school come to her circle to buy her doujins, I get the feeling that her friend Nakajima had a crush on Ogiue or something. Maybe it was obvious to others but I didn't get it until reading it now. Also when she mentions something about Makita, it seems like she was hinting that he was getting married or at least over the trauma of women? Either way, it's interesting to see.

SO MANY LAYERS, GENSHIKEN

I don't like the feeling of being cuckolded.

Anyway, I read it after seeing your thread despite NTR allegations, and I liked it. It has little to no similarities to Genshiken though. The only one is that there is a group of otaku in it. They don't even go out and do otaku activities except for searching for paranormal stuff.

I can't find translations of the 7th or 8th volume anywhere. Will probably buy them just so I can see how it ends. I haven't enjoyed a manga this much in a long time.

I have a translation of the 7th volume. Its scanned by case-dcp, and is just a scan of the professional translaiton done by yen press, and its actually quite good. I got it off bakabt. I don't think they've scanned the 8th volume yet even though its alreayd translated and being sold. I think the only scans on the net are raws and these shitty ones with times new roman font in capitals, and I don't want to spoil the ending on such a note.

I keep reading this chapter (http://www.mangareader.net/964-38298-1/genshiken/chapter-32.html) but I still don't understand it. Am I just autistic or is it really that hard to understand? Can someone explain:

-Why is Madarame in the Counsellor's office?
-Madarame is astonished when he hears Kasukabe has been playing video games, why do they have two panels focusing on this?
-What does he mean by 'treading your own thorny path'?

>-Why is Madarame in the Counsellor's office?

Most likely job placement-related business, given that this chapter is close to his graduating.

>-Madarame is astonished when he hears Kasukabe has been playing video games, why do they have two panels focusing on this?

I think it's supposed to be illustrative of Madarame's mind working out the social and emotional ramifications of her open admission. He was getting used to accepting her as the contemptuous ice queen, and it was just easier to cope with that than the possibility that she could become so accessible.

The whole chapter seemed to revolve around that dynamic.

>-What does he mean by 'treading your own thorny path'?

Probably just a cryptic way of referring to his impression of her personality.

>> No.3297  
>-Why is Madarame in the Counsellor's office?

Madarame is in the counsellor's office to look for job placement/career opportunities in their various resources they have there. He's not in any trouble, he's probably just desperately looking for a job.

> -Madarame is astonished when he hears Kasukabe has been playing video games, why do they have two panels focusing on this?

Like what 3296 said, Madarame could only accept Kasukabe as an "other" of sorts; someone who could never understand otakus, and by framing her like that, he could distance her and keep his feelings for her at bay.

> -What does he mean by 'treading your own thorny path'?

I interpreted that as how he's so conflicted about his own crush on Kasukabe and how he should get over it but can't. It's his cross to bear that he likes her but can't and won't do anything about it or resolve it in anyway - which leads into the later chapter when he's in the room together alone with Kasukabe drinking tea while reads manga again.

Re-reading.

>> No.3299  

>>3295
Pretty much what >>3297 said. Otaku tend to refer to non-otaku as "normals," and by classifying Saki as such, Madarame was able to lie to himself and think that his crush on her wasn't that big a thing. So when he hears she's tread into territory that blurs that line, he's understandably shocked. His thorny path reference is just him acknowledging he's got a massive crush but he's going to keep it bottled up without telling anyone or getting over it, and suffer alone.

Welcome, welcome once again to the 62nd and 63rd "This Month's Genshiken Was Awesome" meeting. We are having another combined meeting this month because of, well honestly, I was busy. Sorry. (Do feel free to step in if I'm taking too long, by the way.) So, go ahead and grab 62 from http://www.mediafire.com/?5qao4q5sv94gpei and 63 from http://www.mediafire.com/?aaxvzbdzn2ckwul and enjoy. And, as always, let me know if you need any other mirrors. Anyway, on to the actual discussion.

Okay, so 62 was a great chapter. It opens on a very short scene of Angela and Ohno meeting up, which I would've liked to have seen more of. But that's honestly just about my only complaint.

The rest of the chapter is spent on a really excellent scene dealing with the production of Ogiue's manga. Hato, Sue, Yoshitake and Yajima are all helping out in various capacities, and this of course leads to a number of interesting conflicts. Primarily, Hato has an issue about growing stubble while dressed as a girl. Sue, in an uncharacteristically likeable turn, tries to keep pushing everyone to keep working, but it doesn't work. Hato needs to change to male clothes. This, through further complications, leads to everyone cosplaying. Ohno is, naturally, crushed that she wasn't in attendance.

Now, this chapter didn't accomplish a whole lot besides showing that everyone cares about Ogiue's manga, but it was a wonderful lead-in for Comifes. And now that the series is back on full time, I'm more than happy to let the pace meander a bit if it means we get such lovely character interaction chapters like this.

Anyone here have any strong feelings or opinions worth expressing about Doujin Work? It seems Genshikenish in it's themes and stories if not in character.
