Rejoice anon

Your dream is coming true

Who the fuck cares at this point.

>>145701973
That's the point.

It is less about it actually happening and more because the series is finally fucking over.

>>145701790
Wait, Sue won? Actually in a relationship? No last minute backing out?

Ten or so years ago I came to /a/ after watching the final animu episode, posted a screenshot where someone hugs the bitchy girl with post content "it's over"

Someone stickied it and it turned into a massive shitstorm by the standards of the day.

I'll always remember that sticky...

So a man won the bowl?

what a mess of a story. a desperate attempt to keep the series alive.ing and no noe will be satisfied.

>>145702134
Yup

Saki in 2 chapter did what should have been done in the beginning and tell him to confess to her already. So essentially the manga wasted over a year for nothing.

>>145702218
Nope

>>145701790
Sue is the sexiest

>>145701790
How long was this homobaiting before this ending up happening anyways

>>145702380
I can't remember the last time homo shippers got fucked this hard.

>>145701790
Finally. Once this ends perhaps we'll finally be able to move on.

Glad this shit is finally over.

I'll hand it to Gensiken though. It was the first series to ever make me dislike a trap character.

>>145702505
IIRC it was No Bra manga.

That was a long time ago though but I still remember people's rage.

>>145701790
It's always good to see a best girl winning

She got tired of all this bullshit.

Post Sue

>>145701790
>Best girl Sue is wining

I waited for this. Fucking finally.

I'm happy. But at the same time I hope there is a third series. Preferably one that focuses on the characters who have moved on to their careers with rare checkins by the new cast. (Kinda like opposite of niidaime.)

I haven't read this yet, but I saw Spotted Flower with the pregnant wife. Is this that guy? Or is it some alternate story.

I can't remember how big of an age difference are they?

I'm very very tempted to pick this up from the very start now.

>>145703607
Well what do you know, Madarame has good taste.

>>145702355
But hey at least we can actually say the series ended on the first run. At least the author knows he was just milking it.

So now that they covered Fujos, what category will they cover in the next story?

>>145704123
Working Genshiken when? I hope the author milks it more and covers the industry more using the old characters as working adults.

>>145704174
This is okay, but there will be a need for new characters too.

Which reminds me, whatever happened to the first club president? I know he graduated.

>>145704174
THIS

>>145704226
He published his paper on advanced voyeur techniques and went back to the velvet room.

>>145704370
Man wouldn't that be a mindfuck if he showed up in P5

You guys

You do realize that next chapter is the end right?
>>145701931
We get to see the alt universe of what happened outside the Spotted Flower Universe.

>>145704522
It's the high slopped flower universe. That's what the previous chapter was called right?

>>145701790

>dating the comic relief

So glad I dropped this early. Kio can't write for shit.

Feeling pretty conflicted over the last handful of chapters.
Was quite surprised when I found out Kio decided to end it while back, seems like there is so much to explore with the characters still.

In regards to madaxsue ending, pretty underdeveloped and personally was the most boring of the choices.
I still remember a small period of time when people were arguing whether the possibility of the pairing even existed.

>>145703869
Couldn't say for sure but I'd figure Sue is about 18-20 and Madarame to be like 23-25 by the end. He had already graduated and worked for a year before Sue even started at the university.

Even though it's almost done, I hope all the missing omakes still get translated.

>>145705684
The whole harem thing felt completely underwhelming and missed a lot of chance to develop Sue. Sue was also the better alternative compared to the three who were jam packed with issues. Save for the American who just wants to fuck him.

>>145701790
Isn't she Blonde foreigner, retarded girl? Why her?

>>145705763
Because she was the best alternative compared to a slut who wants to feed her ego, a one night stand, and a trap with mental issues.

Wait I'm lost, didn't this series end years ago?

>>145705684
I kept thinking was she younger then that the way she acts.

>>145701790
Is this an example of a first girl not winning?

>>145706062
No.

Damn it I have to pick this back up again now. Dropped it during the yaoi girls presidency

>>145706121
Just skip that and go straight to Madarame's harem adventure.

>>145706115
Wait seriously. I thought it ended after the graduation. There was even a final group shot at the end. It's been going this whole time? Fuck it's been like 6 years, probably more since I was reading the english printing so there was probably already like a year gap.

>>145706289

Genshiken ended in 2007.
Had a special chapter in 2009.
Geshiken Nidaime started up in 2010.

>>145706211

What chapter?

>>145706663

Just read from where you left off.

>>145704589
>high slopped flower
But that's supposed to be jap proverb for something beyond one's reach. No sure if there's some special meaning to spotted flower but it seems to be a stretch to find meaning between the chapter title and the spotter flower manga.

>>145706289
Genshiken ended and it got a sequel.

Don't bother reading it unless you're a fujoshi, Nidaime is pretty shit.

why is this so cute

>>145701790
Can Sue even speak Japanese beyond animu quotes? It's nice to have them together and all, but I don't think anime quotes alone is going to get you through.

>>145708193
She can speak japanese of course, she's going to college in japan. But anime quotes are enough.

>>145708193
I think she's weeaboo enough to understand Jap otherwise she couldn't live there. Her sister on the other hand.

>>145701790
For a long time, I thought Edward Elric's confession was the nerdiest. And then Madarame topped that.

>>145707181

The chapter High Slopped Flower reveals that Saki is pregnant which is literally the plot of Spotted Flower. That's a pretty clear connection.

>>145708296
I was waiting for him to reference this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFin3zTtPaY

>>145701790

Is Sue really gonna win? I mean, I do want Madarame and her to pair up. But all that bullshit with the trap has greatly soured this once great series for me.

>>145708818
Next chapter is literally the last.

Trap will probably end up with his childhood friend or fatty.

Should have ended in a harem to spice it up

>>145709000
Honestly if you have read genshiken since the beginning things were gonna go one of two ways for madarame.

Forever alone. (Most likely)

or end up with one of the two americans.

why didn't this happen years ago? the pacing went to shit pretty early on and sue in particular got shafted hard while hato got too much focus.

I liked how Saki started to drink after the confession. She really liked Madarame.

>>145709099
You could really tell the author had passion for the older characters/story.

The chapters with Hato as a man he could have fit into the original plotline by himself.

I bet adding fujo shit was the editors idea due to increase popularity of fujoshit in japan.

>>145709077

What made you jump to the conclusions that it was gonna be one of the gaijins?

I'm not ready for this series to end again. No matter how bumpy this new one has been.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm1wbCJEYIc play manually in my head again.

>>145709206
Only characters not disgusted/put off by madarame's temperament/behavior. (other than saki)

Don't forget Madarame's flashbacks from original manga. He is not great with women in general.

>>145709251
Keiko was okay with him.

>>145709194
I don't think Afternoon gets enough fujo readers for the editors to bother really pushing something like that.

>>145709194

I wonder if at some point some new demographic starts to pop up, will this series get revived again.

>>145709194
even that failed hard then, the new cast was barely there after the start. can't even remember their names.

>>145709403
I really hope he does a third series focusing on working otaku.

>>145708296

I really cringed when he started talking about moe desu.

>>145709258

Keiko lost the moment she confessed, she has a boyfriend but wouldn't mind two-timing, that would've been too much for him to handle, given his lack of experience.

>>145708296
For Genshiken, it's really poetic though. All this search for the "3DPD moe" to be his waifu and she's always been there since the first series. I couldn't be happier for both of them.

I liked it ;_;
It was an entertaining journey most of the way through.

The new demographic will be loaded with gaijins, and Sue will be prez, trying to clear up misconceptions, cringe, etc...

Harem arc was a mistake.

>>145708193
Why would that matter? The only person who could understand Sue 100% of the time was Madarame.

>>145711075
Me too. I've had my misgivings about Nidaime, but these last two chapters make me all warn inside like the faggot I am.

>>145709477
If you cringed you are still to normalfaggy for this board.

I followed it, probably helped that I did read Nana once before due to a temporary student friend and followed D-grey man before it went FULL homo, still reading hoping some action will occur again that never did.
Also the longer you are here the more accepting you get for traps, 'being a little girl', and lonelier...
I'm just Madarame will have a chance for happiness, even if it's classical resolution at the end, keep the hope alive please!

Best page right here.

I really felt a lot of mixed emotions when sue and mada finally met after the whole confession thing.
A mix of happiness, pride, sadness (and jealousy (fuck you, you can't have a gf before me!)).
I don't know if sue is perfect for mada, as that role would probably be saki,
but I think he IS perfect for sue.
Now they can be awkward together.

Doujins when? Or is Mada too pure?

Man, with the exception of the Harem arc, the author has really gotten college otaku, and the yuppie life that follows, nailed down. If he intends to make a third part, then he should do one for working otaku.

>>145701790
is it at least believable?
if so i might just finish it.

>>145709194
Nah nips have always had this weird deal that as long as they are only attracted to one dude they are not gay. Nothing that has not been before.

>>145712102
If by believable you mean not Toradora nonsense, then yes.
