A continuation of the Genshiken manga has been announced, covering Ogiue’s reign over the club.
“Genshiken Nidaime” will feature most of the old cast, including the now club president Chika Ogiue.
The manga will be serialized in Monthly Afternoon magazine starting November – however, the serialisation is described as being “revived for a limited period,” suggesting it will run for a short period rather than be a general restart.
Earlier in the year the same magazine ran some Genshiken short stories, apparently so well received as to prompt a longer continuation.
The mangaka responsible, Shimoku Kio, appears to be between titles with his last manga having sunk like a stone – restarting Genshiken may be a tempting prospect, so just whether this will be a strictly limited run or something with the potential to relaunch the series remains to be seen.

Omaigonzo! D: This is cheering me up a lot! Genshiken is the classical referential manga for the real otaku business. Epic win!
Aw hell yeah.
I loved it so much, I bought the whole manga. I'm even happier the author is continuing the story.
BTW, it's thanks to Onemanga.com that I first learned of Genshiken.
Scanlations brought most interesting titles to our attention, just like fansubs did for anime.
Quick, get this one a medal!
Funny how I managed to find out about Genshiken without either of them, huh?
agree HELL YES!
Yeah good manga!~
Ogiue's what it made the manga good, saved it from mediocrity.
Ｆａｐ ｆａｐ ｆａｐ ｆａｐ ｆａｐ ｆａｐ ｆａｐ ｆａｐ ｆａｐ
This is great! ^_^
fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap.....fap fap fap...fap
Its the return of a classic! YES! xD
I've just read the freaking bad novel. Now my hopes are back!
FUCK YEAH!
indeed, I was just re-reading this last night, and thought that a sequel would be great
and this happens lol
Maybe I should spend my nights wishing for things. Who knows what else will come true xD
What's the connection between Chika-to and the news?
All are coming back.. to college? I thought most of them where done and where moving on with life~
Why the fuck would "all" of them come back to the same settings where Chika Ogiue -Still in School- reigns? Cameos I get though...
Who said that all of them are coming back...?
Fuck yea.
Is that more Suzie I'm seeing? I came.
Hell Yeah!!
waaa creepy ogituba
I'm guessing Azure has not seen this yet, otherwise we would have heard about Ogiue-pits and such.
This news makes me very happy. I have read this manga so many times...
I wonder if we will get those short manga stories with the English release. If not, I'm sure someone will have scanned them.
Great news, Genshiken was an awesome series so a continuation of that is most welcome!
"PEOPLE WHO CAN'T JERK OFF TO 2D CHARACTERS HAVE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR BRAINS!!!"
Such is the gospel of Madarame...
I never read the manga but I did watch both seasons of the anime and a OVA. The first season was cool, the second one sucked.
This gives me hope (and dread) that K-ON! will be similarly revived as soon as Kakifly realizes the world outside Sakuragaoka Girls High is a really cruel one for one-hit wonders and goes back to continuing his death-by-moe.
In other words it's going to be a Yaoi fantasy show and full of lesbian humor. This direction completely forsakes the original male otaku audience.
Well we still have Kuchi in the club and we are sure to have cameo's by Sasahara, Madarame, and Tanaka so all is not lost
Fuck yeah!!
BTW, Yotsuba crossover is creepy in someway.
awesome news :D
we need more continuation of manga's X Manga Ending anyone?
this is good news~
But Digopuri had potential... Moeblobs with REAL BABY
I hope he ended it well.
Woo hoo! Genshiken is awesome. I cant wait for it to come out here. Who says I dont buy manga once in a while? Especially for such a good series.
A sequel to the anime would be nice, too.
My favorite ever ever favorite ever!!
Fucking EVER!!
So excited.
ｗａｉｔ ｔｈｅｒｅ ｗａｓ ａ ｍａｎｇａ ｆｏｒ ｔｈｉｓ？
Theres a cross dressing boy named hato in it. that there and the fact that its genshiken has made me want it even more.
Awesome.
Now where the fuck is my season 3.
GET THIS TO THE US POST HASTE!
Man I loved Genshiken
Looks like Kouta Hirano joined the Genshiken Club
I don't like her hair..
Must FUCK Ogie-away....diddle the fuck out her Yeah
It would be great to see the return of such a classic & original series.
Hey felt asleep watching this anime.
PRETTY MUCH
FTW. seriously.
eventhough it's going to be limited, it doesn't change the fact that it's continued.
Eh, the last volume of Genshiken sucked, anyway. I'm real glad it was never animated.
You are insane.
FUCK YEAAARRRR!!!! This is perhaps the most astoundingly wonderful news i have heard for the ENTIRE year! Oh, my precious Genshiken! I'm so glad you haven't left me all cold and alone TT_TT.
Now if only they'd finish animating the rest of the original manga....
That would violate a rule set by Madarame...
AGREED. The ending's the best part D:
