wiki-chan referencing

Ok, this is a comedy series which basically is about Genshiken (society for the study of modern visual culture) club in University of Shiiou which activities centered on anime and games, but in particular, it's about attends conventions/comicket, going to Akibahara, shopping for dojin, cosplay and much more. Oh not to forget, their favorite series discussion, Kujibiki Unbalance.

Story plot: "Sasahara Kanji is a college freshman who decides to join a student society to share his hidden thoughts on manga, anime and gaming.
When he first visited Genshiken, his groundless pride was destroyed by the plotting of Madarame, a sophomore student in Genshiken, but he still couldn't admit that he is an otaku.
However, as he participates in society activities such as visiting dojin (private publishing) shops and anime festivals, and hangs out with other society members Kosaka (a hardcore otaku despite his extreme eccentricities and good looks), Kosaka’s girlfriend Kasuga Saki (who isn’t really an otaku), Ohno (a cosplayer) and the others, he opens his mind and resolves that he will make his way into the otaku world. With their help, Sasahara slowly adjusts to otaku life in Genshiken. "

I starts of the series by reading the manga, which at that moment reach vol 6. Then I search for the anime and found it. Not much difference than the manga though, only that it end way early than the manga (just after Sasahara become Genshiken president). The anime have 12 episode, continued with the OVA (currently 3 episode have been released), and still continue, maybe until ep24, or maybe even further.
Vol 7 and 8 of the manga has been released a few month ago, with the story has become more interesting, particularly the relationship between Sasahara and Ogiue...And the manga still ongoing till today.
