オタク向け

For nerds

大学にてオタクサークルである現代視覚文化研究会、通称現視研に加入し、個性的なオタク仲間同士で過ごす様を綴る青春群像劇。ある程度のオタクならピンとくるネタが随所に挟まれ、知識があるならクスリとするかもしれない。

A youth group drama about joining the Contemporary Visual Culture Study Group, commonly known as Genshiken, which is an otaku club at university, and spells out how they spend time with unique otaku friends. If you're an otaku at a certain level, you'll get caught up in the middle of the story everywhere, and if you have knowledge, you might use it as a drug.

古き良きオタクライフ

Good old geek life

オタクなりの恋とか友情とか人生設計の悩みとか、青春ってあるよね……と懐かしい気持ち（こういう仲間がいたわけでもないのに何故？）になりました。SNSが浸透する前の時代の、ジャンル違いでも同じオタク、みたいな仲間意識。大学サークルにおけるジェネレーションギャップというか、世代による雰囲気の違いみたいなものがある感じがリアル。

I feel nostalgic about being young, like otaku love, friendship, life planning problems, etc... (why when I didn't even have friends like this?) It's now. There was a sense of camaraderie in the days before SNS became popular, like they were the same otaku even in different genres. There is a real feeling that there is a generation gap in university circles, or rather a difference in atmosphere between generations.

オタクの日常、そして恋愛を描いたお話

A story about the everyday life and romance of otaku

アニメ化もされたオタクの日常を描いた作品。作品の時間が進むごとにオタクの変遷も読み取れてなかなかに奥が深いです。オタク趣味に没頭できた青春時代を思い出す作品。社会人になってからこれを読んで、あの頃がどれだけ貴重だったか身に沁みます。

This work depicts the everyday lives of otaku that has also been animated. As the time of the work progresses, you can also read the changes in otaku, and it's quite profound. This work reminds me of my youth when I was immersed in my otaku hobbies. I read this after I became a member of society, and I felt how precious those days were.

初期が好き！さき姐さんが好き！

I like the early days! I love Sister Saki!

アニメも好きで見ましたが、原作もテンポよく良作です。大学時代、特に何もしなかった私からすれば、本当に楽しそうで羨ましく思います。

I also liked watching anime, but the original is also a good work with a good tempo. When I was in college, I didn't do anything in particular, it seemed really fun and I'm envious.

同人誌に対する

Against doujinshi

偏見をまるっきり変えてくれた作品です。ハーレム系過ぎなのがあれですが班目さんが主人公かと思うくらい斑目さんの話が多いです。

It's a work that completely changed my prejudice. It's too much of a harem series, but there are so many stories about Madarame that I think Panme is the main character.

オタクの日常と恋愛事情

Otaku's everyday life and love affairs

This review contains spoilers. この作品を読んでオタクライフに憧れたことを懐かしく思い返しました。今、３０代半ば～４０代半ばの人達に、特にオススメします。青春時代を追憶できる秀作です。無印も二代目も恋愛が主軸となって話が進行するため、恋愛模様を楽しめるかどうかが評価の分かれ目かと思います。「ちゃんと告白して失恋しないと次の恋に進めない」というのは、非常に共感できました。

This review contains spoilers. Reading this work made me feel nostalgic about longing for an otaku life. I especially recommend it to people in their mid-thirties to mid-forties right now. It's an excellent work that reminds me of my youth. Since the story progresses with romance as the main axis in both Muji and Nidaime, I think the difference in evaluation is whether or not you can enjoy the romance pattern. I was able to really sympathize with the fact that “if you don't confess properly and are heartbroken, you won't be able to move on to your next love.”

オタク

This review contains spoilers. 大学のオタクサークルの仲間たちの話です。オタク文化に少しだけ詳しくなるかも。最終話まで読みました。私はBLは好みじゃないけど、可愛いからハト君推しだったんです…が、スーちゃんが勝者でしたね。スーちゃんは何が言いたいのか、何がしたいのか理解出来ず一番苦手キャラだっただけにちょっと不満です。こんなことなら斑目ハーレムエンドで終わって欲しかったなぁ。

This review contains spoilers. This is a story about friends in the college otaku circle. Maybe you'll learn a little more about otaku culture. I read until the last episode. I don't like BL, but I recommended Hato because she's cute... but Su-chan was the winner. I'm a little dissatisfied with Su-chan because I couldn't understand what she wanted to say or what she wanted to do, and she was the character I didn't like the most. If this were the case, I wish it would end at Madarame Harem End.

日常的

everyday

趣味の合う友達とわいわい楽しんでる感じ、良いです。じわじわ感たまりません。すっかりマダラメのファンになりました。

It's nice to have fun with friends who have similar interests. The gradual feeling is irresistible. I've completely become a fan of red darame.

オタク話面白いです。私は咲ちゃん×斑目がドキドキしました。高坂くんカッコよくて好きですけどね！私も学生時代にげんしけんに入りかたかったー笑

Otaku stories are interesting. I was so excited for Saki-chan and Madarame. I like Takasaka-kun because he's so cool! I also wanted to get into Genshiken when I was a student lol

面白いが…

It's interesting, but...

内容的にはとても面白くて気になってはいるけど、春日部さんがどーしても冷やかしにしか見えなくて好きになれない…。

It's very interesting in terms of content, and I'm curious, but no matter what Kasukabe-san does, it only looks cool and I don't like it...

二代目から

From the second generation

二代目からが大好きです。波戸くんが大好きです。心の葛藤から性格、行動全てが可愛くて、キュンキュンします。

I've loved it since the second generation. I love Hado-kun. Everything from her emotional conflict to her personality and behavior is cute and makes me cringe.
