   I started reading the 2nd Generation, which begins with Volume 10.  The   
   author apparently did an one-shot that was published in February of 2010,   
   which is almost four years after the series ended in 2016.  He then   
   officially started the serialization in December of 2010.   
      
   All the members that joined in the first episode of the series have since   
   graduated so we are left with just three members who joined since then.  One   
   is Oota, who joined few months after the episode 1 because she moved back   
   from U.S.  (Japanese school year begins in April.)  Many of the alumni show   
   up often and many work and live nearby.   
      
   As far as the new member, an American girl who is the friend of Oota is   
   study abroad and officially has joined the club.  And three more joined.   
   Two women, both wearing glasses and Hato, a boy who dresses up as a woman   
   ONLY when he's in the club.   
      
   I have every volume all the way to 18 so I know I am going to enjoy it.  The   
   first thing I noticed is that the lines are much thinner than before.
