   I think pacing was the major issue with the "1st Generation" because this   
   was in monthly installment and author did it in real time until the very   
   end.  And he typically produced only 24 pages a month, including  the cover.   
   (In contrast, weekly manga is 18 pages plus cover.)    The story is quite   
   dense so he could draw a little bigger and get the page count up but I think   
   plotting was an issue and he can only come up with so much story every   
   month.   
      
   So typically they have to devote the April issue to recruiting new member.   
   Then there are typically couple conventions they attend and preparing for   
   them.  And a school festival.  You never see any of them studying nor find   
   out what their majors are.  This is problematic for the supposed main   
   character Sasahara, who was new to the otaku culture at the beginning and   
   never did much except to try out some "ero games."  And yet he landed a job   
   as a manga editor when he graduated.  Most other characters have their niche   
   from the beginning and they just kind of stuck to it.  Saki just came along   
   because she likes Koosaka and didn't contribute much except being forced   
   into cosplay here and there.   
      
   Oota, another female student, joined fairly early on and another girl,   
   Ogiue, joined much later.  She draws manga so the club felt more evenly   
   balanced but in one storyline she drew yaoi manga starring two male members   
   of the club.
