Genshiken
Genshiken (Japanese: げんしけん) is a Japanese manga series by Shimoku Kio. It was originally serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Monthly Afternoon from April 2002 to May 2006, and published in nine tankōbon volumes. The manga is about a college club for otaku (extremely obsessed fans of various media) and their lifestyle. The title is a shortening of the club's official name, Gendai Shikaku Bunka Kenkyūkai (現代視覚文化研究会), or "The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture". The series has also been adapted into an anime series directed by Tsutomu Mizushima. A two-part short bonus story was included across both volumes of the Kujibiki Unbalance manga, published in 2006. In December 2009, a new chapter was released in Monthly Afternoon to celebrate the release of the Genshiken 2 DVD box-set. In October 2010, the series resumed serialization as Genshiken: Second Season. The series finished serialization in August 2016, with an additional twelve tankōbon volumes published.
