^^THIS IS THE FUTURE AND IT IS WONDROUS

New Chapter

Dear god, Poor Hato.. Also smooth maybe a bit TMI for me. Still hilarious though.

What university does this manga supposedly takes place in again? Did the younger sis decide to apply to the school after seeing the So Smooth?

We're seeing less of the old guard,and you know what? I am okay with that if it means we get chapters like this.

Moar Rina and Yoshitake. Picking a school? I see where this is going.

Aww,we missed a drinking session. Where's Hato?

Ahh,in girl-mode and bringing supplies. Didn't know Yosh's hair was that long.

Yosh,you put more effort into forcing ecchi events than most others do into actual relationships. Poor Hato.

Fortunately,Yajima's not playing this game. Which is why they're so fun to watch.

"This is our only appearance this chapter?" "At least they gave you two cool titles. I'm 'UNKNOWN'. Nyoro~n." Suddenly,Rina's former shota crush.

Overshare,Rina. Overshare. .... She'll fit in nicely.

Aww,Rina's unable to go to conventions. "Are you saying you made her pretend to be a man... just for the lulz?" *smile* YES I MAD

I WANNA SEE THE GUY... -Hato. But she's right - it is a lot of effort to go to if you think of it in those terms.

Yajima sticks up for Hato. I find myself warming to her,'cause this is exactly the sort of shit I'd say. ;-) Is she white-knighting him? Mmmaybe.

Your puny speech is no match for the skillz of Yosh,social-fu master! Poor Yajima. (That's how I felt a lot of the time too.)

Must accelerate relationships... must... cause... events... Okay,soon as this is over,I'm adding The Matchmaker to her profile. She really will ship anyone in the name of lulz.

Over at Hato's. Are those Scary Shiny Glasses? Because all I'm seeing in the last panel is [awkward - MISCHIEF - awkward]. :-D

Okay,yes,this is white-knighting. And general killjoy behaviour. Again,I did exactly this when I was younger.

OH,Yajima knows something Yosh doesn't. Score one for her.

INVESTIGATE! INVESTIGAATE-*clamp*

Rina used Constrict! It's super effective! Yajima can't move!

Noblewoman's Laugh. Yes. Yajima is disappoint.

Rereading this,this,right here,is where I became sure there was something between Yajima and Hato,and Yosh's inducing all these events to push them together.

Ack,curiosity,my one weakness! (I'm always glad to see equal-opportunity perversion, and I really like the way they address sexuality here: "Girls can be just as perverted and interested in the opposite sex as boys,and often in new and interesting ways.")

Yesss,I can feel your ero-ero nature swelling... let it flow through you... you are not so innocent as you appear...

The trust he placed in me lends me strength! Belly Buster!

Accidental Pervert in 3... 2... 1...

Welcome to Genshiken,where full male nudity is hilarious,and girly boys squeal when exposed.

She really is strong.

.... So he shaves/plucks all over? Ow. Shota-seeking missile,activate!

Shiou University should use Hato's crotch as a recruiting technique...

Ohgod, that was hilarious. I thought Risa's "interest" was already a TMI, but the bit with Hato blew it out of the water. Not to mention that his scream was awesome.

Also, Yoshitake is a hell of a loose cannon. I pity Risa, really. Growing up with her must have been hard.

<sigh>

I'm so mad at myself for not being able to enjoy Nidaime. I keep wanting the old cast to show up and I cant like the new characters at all.

Perhaps its due to past experiences making me avoid Yaoi Fangirls like the plague.

@Thorn 14: This may be relevant to your interests.

...

Yoshitake is...

She somehow seems similar to Sue and Kucchi but I find her a lot more entertaining. Must be how shameless she is. 'course, that probably rubs a bunch of the old guard the wrong way and I don't blame them.

Chapter 70 is out.

You will have to find it yourself due to new mod policy that no scanlation links are to be posted.

I felt this chapter did not have much content, it felt like it could have been done in twelve pages instead of twenty-four. Hato also seems to have almost become the main character now, although I do not mind that.

True, I don't find I have much to say about this chapter. Though the Bayonetta cosplay was amusing.

I could not tell that it was Ohno cosplaying Bayonetta at first. Her face seems to be drawn differently than it normally is.

Oh, and I did not know Shimoku was a parent.

Hato and I have the same conditions. We can only do our best when we're "dressed up". I can only really write when I'm dressed for going out. Nothing beats getting a quantum leap moment for your story, scribbling away in some random Ministop.

I think Sue maybe into Girls... Or just Ogiue.

edited 1st Dec '11 4:50:12 AM by Zasz

I can't say much either,apart from how well Ohno's and Kuchiki's cosplays matched them. Two things I can think of: Sasahara giving advice on Oguie's manga continues to be a source of tension, and Hato's headdesk at his 'weird' work was genuinely funny.

Solid chapter all round.

EDIT: Derp. Yes I meant Ohno,not Oguie. O///O

edited 1st Dec '11 4:58:01 PM by AckSed

You mean Ohno's cosplay?

What's going on now?

Oh hey, there's such a thing as Genshiken Nidaime. I'd better look into that.

Kikuchi as Mr. 2 is 100% correct. Thumbs up!

Chapter 71 is up. In COLOUR!

There are... potential developments. And much angsting over art.

I had a thing for Ohno before Ogiue came along. This reminds me why. "Problem?" :-D

"Beast Mode". Ahahaha!

Yoshitake finally pins down one of Yajima's good qualities - she's a diligent worker. I really like their dynamic.

Hato's "Stand" is an actual Split Personality. One that Hato argues with. O_O

Between Hato-chan's looks and his fujoshi side,Madarame is in serious trouble right now.

OMG, everything you said! I totally agree. And the thing with Kousaka as a trap in the adult VG, freaking hilarious...

Kyaaa! I hope Hato and Madarame get together! This gives me a lot of hope that something is happening there for real!

Soon as she said "It's that time again!"... well... my mind went on a strange tangent:

Yajima: "To discuss how jealous I am of your girlishness?"

Madarame: "To make every red-blooded male very confused?"

'Hato-chan:' "No; it's time for... The Wheel of Fujoshity!"

"Wheel of Fujoshity, turn turn turn; tell us the event that we might earn. Today's event is... A blushing Madarame! Man,I'm good!"

Madarame is straight. Or alternatively, Single-Target Sexuality. It's bad writing to have him go for a trap! This isn't some game or mang-oh wait-

Hey, stuff happens. It could happen to anyone. Very few people are 100% straight/gay that there was no situation where they might consider the other team. Also Hato is adorable. And presumably straight but that's looking more and more suspect.
