Is he prepared to deal with the social stigma attached to being an otaku? Meanwhile, Saki Kasakabe has her own otaku conundrum. How can she turn her boyfriend, anime fanboy Makoto, into a normal guy?Kanji follows his heart, as does Saki. When both Kanji and Makoto join Genshiken: The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture, Saki chases Makoto through the various activities of the club, from costume-playing and comic conventions to video gaming and anime model figures. Saki finds otaku to be more than she imagined, but not necessarily in a good way.
