Kio Shimoku Libri

Otaku Club Genshiken viene presentato dalla Star Comics come primo titolo della nuova collana “KM presenta” in una serie che durerà 9 volumi. Si tratta di una commedia scolastica che fa da vera e propria finestra sul mondo otaku nella realtà giapponese e spesso permette un raffronto con la realtà e le diversità che la caratterizzano rispetto a quella nostrana. Questa è la prima grande opera di Kio Shimoku, che si presenta in Italia come un autore di tutto rispetto capace di raccontare una realtà difficile con il sorriso in volto

Farewell to the Genshiken It's graduation day for Kanji, Kousaka, and Saki-and the whole Genshiken gang is there to cheer them on. Get ready for the biggest celebration of all time! Kanpai! Final volume.

OTAKU LOVE The Genshiken girls have been trying to spark a little romance between Kanji and Ogiue for months-and a Genshiken trip to a hot springs resort seems like the perfect opportunity. When Ogiue falls sick, Ohno assigns Kanji to take care of her. The rest of the Genshiken gang leave for the day, and Kanji is finally ready to make his move. Ogiue, though, is convinced that Kanji will never accept her fan-girl ways. To settle things, Kanji will have to read her doujinshi-the one in which he stars! How will Kanji react when he finds himself to be the centerpiece of Ogiue's masterwork? The answer will decide whether their relationship lives of dies!

OTAKU FROM ANOTHER PLANET On a lunch break at the Genshiken, Madarame is minding his own business when in walks Angela, a blond, blue-eyed otaku unlike anyone he has ever seen. However, Angela seems to know all about him! It turns out that Angela and her pal Susie, old friends of Ohno's, are visiting from the United States. Angela has a taste for hardcore doujinshi, and Sue can't seem to stop quoting offensive lines from her favorite anime. In just two days, the American visitors manage to turn the Genshiken upside down. Can the club survive a visit from these ambassadors of otakudom without inciting an international incident?

The Genshiken girls try out their matchmaking skills on Kanji and Ogiue, though Ogiue worries what he'll think when he reads her shocking doujinshi in which he is the starring character.

THE MAIN EVENT LOOMS! Who has time for schoolwork when Comic-Fest is around the corner? With the deadline for their dojinshi looming, the Genshiken is starting to fray at the seams. And when Angela flies to Tokyo for the big event, one member of the group is in for a romantic rendezvous. When stress and libido collide, the sparks will fly!

A new academic year means new members for the lovably misfit Genshiken: The Society for the Study of Mern Visual Culture! Club president Chika Ogiue now has to manage a fresh-faced trio of yaoi fans (one of whom dabbles in cross-dressing), a surly American transfer student with a penchant for obscure anime quotes, and her own rising career as a professional manga artist. Can she actually find time to draw her own vanity project for Comic-Fest?

The manga based on the successful anime DVD follows Kanji Sasahara, who isn't a true manga fan and has only a mild interest in video games and anime. However, seeking connection in his first year of college, he decides to join Genshiken, a club dedicated to studying modern visual culture.
