Synopsis
Genshiken recruits three new BL-loving members; Ogiue worries the club is becoming a yaoi fangirl haven.
Another college semester begins and the returning members of Genshiken attempt to recruit new club members. Three new members join the club, attracted by Ogiue's BL drawings. She welcomes the new members but fears the club will become a "fujoshi" haven for yaoi fans and is getting a bit too far removed from its original purpose. (Source: ANN)
