   It's amazing how different college experience is in Japan as compared to   
   U.S.  In Japan they have to study like crazy until college entrance exam so   
   college is where they get to enjoy all their hard work.  In contrast, in   
   U.S. the first two years of college is a rehash of what you were supposed to   
   have already learned in high school, leaving only final two years to   
   concentrate on your major.   
      
   At least according to mana, Japanese university students appear to spend   
   their entire day on club activities.  They don't go to lectures but might   
   attend "seminars."   
      
   BTW, I recently acquired volume 1 through 19 of untranslated Genshiken from   
   a used book sale.  This is a rather "wordy" book that takes a lot of   
   concentration to read so I haven't had the chance to go through them yet.   
      
   I also got a complete Hikaru no Go as well.  This is an earlier work by the   
   artist of Death Note and involves an ancient board game.

   Hi typers and readers,   
      
        That is how Oguie Maniax describes it, in the first line of the   
   article which is very well illustrated with various features of the   
   club room building.   Everything but the Genshiken itself which   
   actually happened elsewhere.   
      
      
      
            Note:followups set to manga and anime Newsgroups so you might   
   want to edit   
   any replies.   
      
        Enjoy!   
      
          bliss
