What's wrong?
It's the day before ComiFest, and I'm not excited at all.
It's ComiFest! I used to get retardedly worked up about it.
What's happened to me?

You look happy, Kanako.
No wonder!
Today, I get to cosplay with everybody!
Everybody was busy doing their own thing yesterday,
but today's our day!
Okay!
So you're going straight back to America after ComiFest is over, Angela-san?
Aren't you just loving it here?
She's tough! She does tennis and swimming, too!
Hato-kun, I have some great costumes for you.
They're really excited today.
You're psyched to wear them, right?
Especially Ohno-san.
They've been like that since yesterday.
I won't deny that cosplaying is fun.
Anyway, isn't Madarame-senpai late?
Our purchasing plan depends on him.
Is that him?
Sorry, am I the last one here?
Don't worry. There's still time before the first train.
That's good.
Good morning, Madarame-senpai.
It's been a while.
Oh, uh, morning.
Oh, it's you, Hato-kun? I didn't know you had a wig like that.
Let's get moving.
Hey, Kugayama. It's been forever.
Yeah, since graduation!
That's right. Senpai can talk to me normally when I'm a guy.
You look a little pale, Madarame.
I'm a bit hungover.
Hungover?
Hey, do you remember?
Last summer at the room...
When we were reading an anime magazine together,
you flipped the pages with these fingers...
Come on, Kanako! Interpret!
N-No.
I don't get it at all...
That really happened!
Well, I skipped some things, though...
Hey, it doesn't make sense...
What is this? What is this?
Dunno.
I think, basically, she wants to say thanks for helping her last year in the club room.
I'm not sure I get it, though.
Last summer in the club room? That was a long time ago.
I don't really remember, but you're welcome.
He doesn't remember.
Oh.
That's a shame...
I could return the favor in a different way...
Stop that.
GO
Go Next!
Angela-san's still clinging to him.
She's so aggressive.
Can we assume there's something going on?
I read on the net once that Japanese guys are really popular overseas.
I don't think that's true.
I don't know, but what we're seeing here...
I'm sure it's bothering Madarame-senpai.
He likes Kasukabe-senpai.
But it's not my place to interfere.
Plus, when I'm a girl, he avoids me.
Ohno-senpai!
Yes?
Madarame-senpai said he was hungover.
Can I go help him buy doujinshi?
I was really looking forward to today, though!
I see...
I'm sorry. Please.
Well, you did work hard yesterday and the day before.
Thank you.
Madarame-senpai! Kuchiki-senpai!
It's the male version!
I'll be going with you guys.
I think that look works.
Wh-What does?
Thanks for your help.
Why are you giving them a thumbs-up?
I thought we could cosplay all the main characters, but...
Probably that's guided by the law of cycles.
Can I ask you something by now?
What was that this morning? Since when do you like Madarame so much?
I told you then.
He was kind to me when I came to Japan last summer.
But you weren't flirting with him in winter!
That's not surprising.
He had Saki.
But Saki graduated.
And Madarame was left broken-hearted, right?
You know what I think?
Madarame deserves to be happier.
And...
Isn't it about time he finds a new love?
Sue! Don't scare me!
I don't get it at all.
It's perfect for you. Too perfect.
But if Ogiue-san were here, you'd be my character, right?
What?
I agreed to dress like this because we were all going to do it.
That Hato... I should've bailed, too.
I need you here for my character though! We're a couple!
And besides, isn't Hato-chan fine where he is?
Why's that?
He's a guy, dressed like a guy, going with his guy friends to buy guys' doujinshi.
What's the problem?
None, I guess.
Actually, that should be just fine.
I don't understand him.
Hato-kun, you find everything you wanted?
Yes, and how about you?
Yeah, I scored everything on my list.
Y'know, having you here helped a lot.
I had less to buy myself, thanks to you.
It's nothing.
How are you feeling?
I'll be fine once the alcohol's out of my system.
A junior caring for his senpai!
Did you drink that much?
It's been so hot lately.
I can't concentrate. Get lost.
I'll head upstairs for now.
I'm everywhere and nowhere, you know!
Anyway, what do you think of day three?
Today's even more crowded, right?
There are people everywhere. It's overwhelming.
Yesterday, I only went to the spaces for girls.
That's right. Yesterday was really what you came for.
Dorarara?
Yep, that's it. I scoured the whole con for swag.
In cosplay, no less.
It's amazing that Tanaka-san could make all these costumes overnight.
That's a real turnabout!
A female character, dressed like a guy. I was cross-dressing, but at the same time, I wasn't.
And since it had pants, I could use the bathroom standing up.
Men's Toilet
End of Line #2
Or so I thought. But it didn't quite work out.
You've been enjoying yourself, I see.
When I was a student, I came for all three days,
bought all the doujinshi, and lined up at all the company booths.
Company booths?
You didn't see them? Second floor of the west hall.
Lots of companies. Eroge makers and publishers.
They all hold events or sell things you can only buy here.
I didn't know they had that here. I'll go later.
I tripped in a line and broke my hand.
But I remained in line and bought something at the booth. It's a fond memory now.
You broke your hand?
The foolishness of youth.
Now that I'm not in school anymore, I can only go for one day.
I can't get that fired up anymore.
No, I don't think that's the problem.
It's just a mental issue for me.
But things were hot in another way, right?
The temperature?
No... Angela-san.
No, no, no. She's just making fun of me.
Is she? You don't think it's finally your turn to get lucky?
It's a lie that everybody gets lucky once in their life. I never have.
And she only comes to Japan for ComiFest.
She's just messing around.
Forget 3D girls, anyway. 2D's where it's at.
And I got plenty of them today.
Um...
Have you ever fallen in love with a 3D girl?
Huh?
Never.
He's lying.
No. It's not fair to keep asking these questions, since I already saw those photos.
But if she knew who you really are,
I think you could get along fine with a girl.
Huh? What's gotten into you?
You're a good cook.
And you treat somebody like me the same as a normal person.
You're sure you aren't into guys, right?
I-I'm not!
The only 3D people I've ever fallen in love with were girls.
Was that after you got into BL?
Yes!
Oh, hey. There you are.
Hello there, Kugayama-senpai!
Hey. It's really hot, isn't it?
Good timing, Kugayama.
Hato-kun said he wanted to check out the company booths.
Ah, that's right.
Can you hold our spot?
Sure, I'll just be reading my doujinshi.
I think those two are really suspicious, Kugayama-san!
But I guess normal people don't care.
No matter what you say, she already has a boyfriend.
Even in an eroge, it would never happen.
And her boyfriend is really something.
I'm gonna feel like a loser for the rest of my life.
Well, how do I approach him on the way back?
Genshiken Second Generation
This entire floor is company booths.
There are so many!
Madarame-san!
I was just thinking of calling you.
Kousaka!
Wh-What? Why are you...
I got recruited to help advertise.
Our new H-game is about traps.
I've fit Hato-kun up for the clothes...
What?
Actually, I wanted Ogiue-san to cosplay this character, though...
Hato-kun's also fabulous,
but we may want to find someone smaller.
And if she were here, Hato-kun would cosplay this one!
Yeah, should be this.
Yeah.
If Ogiue-san would do...
Well, she won't change her mind though.
Hey?
What's wrong Sue?
Ah...
You want to cosplay this one?
But you're blonde!
I don't think Ohno-senpai can pull off playing a middle schooler anyway.
That character doesn't even have big boobs.
Madarame-san says Kousaka-san is cosplaying as girl at the company booths!
And he sent a picture!
Wow...
A natural!
I want to go see!
But I can't leave here alone. We're a group cosplay!
And Kousaka-san is working, so they can't come here!
And going anywhere in this crowd is nearly impossible.
This is Kasukabe-senpai's boyfriend?
Ohno-san says she wants more pictures.
Sure.
In other words, he's Madarame-senpai's rival.
Okay, ready?
Yeah, I don't think he can win.
Win what?
Kuchiki-kun sent a selfie.
Oh, he's in line.
"Gimme an upskirt?"
I guess they're rivals, but they get along.
Look at me! I can't get in between them!
Are those two going to fight over Kasukabe-senpai?
I guess not.
They're already dating,
while Madarame-senpai just watches from a distance.
I can picture it in my head.
Even I think his cross-dressing is perfect.
Wait, what?
You're not wearing makeup, Kousaka-senpai?
That's right.
It's hopeless, Madarame-senpai.
What's that?
I guess in that case,
dating Angela-senpai is the best option for him.
Come on.
No, that doesn't seem quite right.
What? Still shocked by Kousaka?
Your cross-dressing is amazing, too.
Kousaka's just a natural. Don't worry about it.
He's from a different dimension.
Anyway, I'm not going to win.
I think that in most ways, I'm just as good as he is.
So you, too...
Don't say you can't win.
What did you say? I couldn't hear you.
I want him to try just a little harder.
Maybe I'm just being selfish.
But all the things we desire work that way.
Stop it, please.
You're bothering him.
It's just about what we want.
Interpret, Kanako.
Okay...
Well...
But...
Even if maybe a one-night stand...
Even if it may be a one-night stand,
it could be a very memorable event in your life.
A-A one-night stand?
I'm so jealous!
I-I don't think so!
I'm sure a feeling that develops over time is much stronger!
I believe the feeling that you have developed over time is surely stronger.
Oh, you forgot what happened in the morning?
I told you I have been fancying Madarame since last year.
I told you, I've liked Madarame since last year.
It's nothing than a trigger.
It's nothing more than a trigger.
It's our right to make a decision for the future.
And it's our right to make a decision for the future.
It's nothing for an outsider to interfere.
It's nothing for an outsider to interfere in.
She's really aggressive.
It's so direct that translating it's embarrassing.
Hang in there.
It doesn't matter whether I'm an outsider, or who has what right!
Because Madarame-senpai...
...likes Kasukabe-senpai!
Madarame-senpai...
Senpai...
He's a bottom!
Hey!
He's what we call a bottom in BL!
And he's a damn good one, so he should be paired with a guy!
Like Tanaka-senpai x Madarame-senpai!
I'm the example?
Or Kugayama-senpai would be great, too!
N-No I wouldn't.
Even Kuchiki-senpai trying to be a top and failing!
He's not here,
but Sasahara-senpai could work, too!
But my personal favorite right now...
is the love I saw today!
Shut up already!
Kousaka-senpai x Madarame-senpai!
Now who should I send this picture to?
Stop it, please...
So Madarame-senpai doesn't have the time to be dating a girl.
Wh-What am I saying?
I can't breathe! I can't look at him!
Madarame as total bottom?
Yes, total bottom...
Yes! Total bottom!
Total bottom! Total bottom!
Madarame the total bottom!
Angela, I forgot you liked that stuff.
But...
That is that...
My fingers again?
Oops, you got really uptight?
Chai... Chai Kick!
Ouch!
Oh... my...
Hato!
Good job!
See you at the next ComiFest, Madarame!
Yankee go home!
Go to hell!
What was that?
I'm not entirely sure.
Um, I'm sorry for the weird things I said.
Nah, you saved me, so it's okay.
But one thing...
Where did you get that bit about "a feeling that develops over time"?
It just came to me.
I see. Fine then.
Hato-chan's one of us, isn't she?
Excuse me.
You should be more careful what you say!
Sorry.
And what happened to Hato x Madarame?
I'm the bottom?!
It was a big shock for us to accept him. It was a tough for all of us.
No, I think it's a bigger shock for him.
O-Or is he forgetting how close he c-came to a girl's boobs?
And that's the end of this year's ComiFest!

However this place where I met you is the world we live in.
Okay, calm down. It's not time to freak out yet.
"Bottom" is just a concept that exists in a fujoshi's head.
It doesn't affect me in reality.
I-I'm not sure if Sasahara lets his girlfriend use him in BL 'cause he's tough,
