Genshiken Chapter 121 Discussion

I want to strangle Madarame. I really do.

It has been quite a few years since I watched the first two seasons of the Genshiken anime, a show that I really enjoyed back then. Last week, I got around to watch the first Nidaime season too - as I got pretty much hooked on it right away and especially wanted to see more of Hato, I ended up reading the manga too from around the point where the anime ended.



I have to say, though Nidaime is significantly different to the original Genshiken and not something I can relate to as easily with all the fujoshi in the main cast now, I've probably enjoyed Nidaime at least as much as the original Genshiken. Largely the main reason is Hato, who got me seriously questioning my own sexuality, haha. (After all, when he is cross-dressing, I can't help but view him as the most beautiful and cutest member of Genshiken. Seriously, Hato is too damn cute.) I've thoroughly enjoyed the interaction with Hato and Madarame since the beginning, and  I've actually been rooting for them the whole time. The other members of the harem never really caught my attention as much:



*Though she got some nice moments a few chapters ago, Sue has always been sort of a gag-character on the sidelines, at least in my view.



*Angela hasn't exactly had much screentime and there isn't much depth to her character yet.



*Though I do like her somewhat, Keiko hasn't had much screentime either and honestly, I think it would be difficult to have a good relationship with her.



With that all that said though, I have mostly enjoyed the Madarame harem thing even if the only one I've been rooting for is Hato. One might be jealous of Madarame, but seriously, it is not that great. Like Madarame said, one wrong step and there might be a landmine under his feet. One thing relating to the the harem thing though, is that Yoshitake has gradually started to become seriously annoying (I rarely feel as annoyed by any character when compared to her). I'll have to agree with the others regarding wanting to slap her.

Yep, Saki is his true love. Shame there was so much of this Hato bs, it kinda ruined Genshiken for me. Hope sue wins, or Madarame will decide to grow up and move on from this manga club.

Mada is on another level of indecisiveness, but at least he didn't depend on pulling out a stick to make the decision for himself...

I thought he already made his mind!!!!! Fuck you madarame!! BE A MAAAAN

Decision time.  lol @ the descriptions to the girls.  He cannot decide, so discussion time.

i think that Madarame doesn't have a choice here ... well even i has some hopes for madaxsue...

but no , all the choices i see will come to an forced love end, and that kind of things never work...



i want to slap Yoshitake, for meddle in things that should be intimate, she should be defeated with all her harem thing.

I just need to reiterate how incredible it is I went from loving Genshiken to fucking hating it in the end with a passion.
