Synopsis
Another college semester begins and the returning members of Genshiken attempt to recruit new club members. Three new members join the club, attracted by Ogiue's BL drawings.

Beautiful ending which highlights the power of community, especially in university where many feel lost, misunderstood and lonely.
A little underwhelming. This episode had moments but nothing to ride home about.
Loved loved the conversation that was had in the club, it was such a liberating moment for Madarame, and it was pleasing to see that as a viewer.
Love the flashback scene. It gave context to Hato’s story and also touching on the shame he has carried for his interest in BL. Great pace and dialogue.
Ohhh the plot thickens… as we move to the fair new characters are introduced and tense rises when these characters seem to be from Hato’s past. Excited to see how it all plays out in the next episode.
There was a lot of vulnerability in this episode and I like that it was highlighted here because of that that element they were able to support each and show up as a community. And that’s the basis of forming lasting friendships in high learning environments. It felt so real, loved it.
