The Other Side of the Path. The Promised Place
With Ogiue as new president and several of the original members already graduated, four new members join the society: Ohno's friend Susanna, the loud Rika Yoshitake, the grumpy Mirei Yajima and the mysterious Hato Kenjirou. The new members join the club attracted by Ogiue's yaoi drawings. She welcomes the new members but fears the club will become a "rotten girl" (fujoshi) haven for yaoi fans and that is getting a bit too far removed from its original purpose.
Cross Over My Legs
Hato has a difficult time with Yajima and Yoshitake's obsession over his crossdressing. Keiko Sasahara, Kanji's kogal sister, appears in the club's room while Madarame is in there thinking about Saki Kasukabe. Ogiue recruits Genshiken members as employees to help in her manga artist work.
Daydream Believer
After Madarame lends a thankful Hato his place to change into girl's clothes, both start to become good friends. The group continues their work helping Ogiue finish the club's doujinshi for the Summer Comifes.
Beards and Boobs
Angela returns to Japan to visit the Summer Comifes and do some cosplay with Ohno like she does every year. Two girls from Ogiue's past make an unexpected visit to the club's booth, much to Susanna's chagrin.
Go Next!
In the final day of the Summer Comifes, Angela's sudden and vocal interest in Madarame make him and the rest of the Genshiken have an utterly embarrassing moment. However, Hato's timely confession to the group may be even more shocking than that.
