   Genshiken is essentially a club for otaku and each member has different   
   interest such as playing ero-game (not sure what it's called in U.S.),   
   reading or creating manga, or making or wearing costumes (cosplay).   
      
   I just finished the "first generation" composing of nine volumes.  Each   
   volume covers approximately six monthly episodes so two volumes cover a year   
   in the character's life.  However, there was one episode taking place in   
   September of the fourth year that dragged on for several issue so even   
   though the graduation ceremony said 2005, the last two volumes weren't   
   published until 2006.  I am not sure what happened but the final two volumes   
   contain many episodes that were not originally published in a magazine.   
      
   2nd Generation picks up the story immediately after the end of first but the   
   author didn't start on this until four years after the series ended.   
      
   I will talk more about the series when I have time.
