madarame harunobu

Age: 19-23 Birthday: October 25, 1982 Zodiac sign: Scorpio Blood type: O Madarame, the second president of Genshiken, was personally selected by the first president to succeed him. Even before his formal appointment, Madarame demonstrated strong leadership and initiative. He is a devoted Gundam fan and arguably the most hardcore otaku in the club. Madarame often buys dōjinshi without checking the price tags, which sometimes leaves him with little money for essentials like food. His favorite sushi is bacon topped with mayonnaise, costing only 50 yen per piece. Madarame takes great pride in all his purchases. The Official Genshiken Data Book's otaku quiz section refers to the highest level of otaku as "Madarame." Initially, Madarame's loud support of his otaku lifestyle makes him Saki's nemesis. However, he develops a crush on her, which influences their interactions. After graduating, Madarame gets a job at Sakura Pipe Repair thanks to his "computer literacy" (i.e., experience with adult games). Despite his feelings, he never confesses to Saki to avoid risking their friendship. In the manga's relaunch, Madarame still visits the Genshiken clubroom for lunch. To help Hato, who crossdresses, attend the clubroom as a girl while attending classes as a male, Madarame allows Hato to use his apartment to change, given its proximity to the school.
