The ninth comic: #812 Genshiken
Genshiken is never going to be a favourite of mine. i've read what we consider the minimum needed (and beyond that) and I do have to say I feel the original run, with the original cast, works better than the second group. It feels like it's moved more to fan service (wouldn't you want these girls near you?) without moving to many interesting things for the plot. There have been a few bits that seem like they could have been interesting, but the series avoids really dealing wtih anything while not trying to be that funny either. I realiase it's meant to be slice of life but, possibly because of the disconnect in life styles, the later parts don't have a life that actually makes it entertaining to read for me. It's decent, but not great.
