Wow, what a difference a switch in mediums can make, and not for the better- at least so far. While the important personality bits are there(with some tweaking), the characters, and more specifically the girls, all seem to have gotten a few years younger, and someone also decided that ...

Another series down, and certainly pleased with how it all turned out. After being scouted by a weekly manga magazine for a professional gig, our lead (who has only been at it for a year and has barely broken past the smallest tier of doujinshi publishing) is quickly swept ...

Continuing last volume's cliffhanger, we spend the better part of the volume wrapping it up, in requisite ridiculous fashion. Then we're on to getting our lead's proto-Kasukabe girlfriend (yes, I know, completely different creative group than Genshiken, but still) to participate in the next doujinshi event ...
