NIS America is proud to announce the acquisition of Genshiken Second Season (working
title) for North American retail release. Genshiken is a slice-of-life anime surrounding the happenings of an eclectic
gathering of otaku college students in their “Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture” club at Shiiou University.
This series is a continuation of the first season of Genshiken, which will follow a bunch of brand-new club members as
they interact with each other and experience each individual’s lifestyle choices.
About the show:
After reflecting upon last year’s low freshman turnout, Chika Ogiue, the new
president of Shiiou University’s “Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture”
(aka Genshiken) seeks out new freshman members to join. At the freshman
welcoming hall, while stealing angry glances at KanakoOhno, the previous club
president (who was having fun cosplaying, as usual), puts on a flashy drawing
performance. Suddenly two girls, freshmen Rika Yoshitake and Mirei Yajima,
respond to her performance by joining the club. It turns out the girls have a
reputation as “dirty girls” just like Chika, and the three birds of a feather do indeed
flock together.
Meanwhile, a clean-cut beauty with chestnut hair appears at the club office asking
to join up. But as it turns out, she’s actually a cute boy in drag… With new and
unique freshmen members onboard, things in Genshiken Second Season are about
to heat up!
