Chika Ogiue Friends

One of Ohno's American friends.

Madarame is a hardcore otaku who spends most of his living expenditures on doujinshi instead of food and has a 2D complex.

The well-endowed and soft-spoken Kanako is obsessed with cosplaying, yaoi, and middle-aged, bald (or balding) men.

A closet otaku who eventually comes in terms with his geekiness and joins a club at his school that relates to his interests.

Kugayama is an overweight guy who stutters a lot and is the only male artist of the Genshiken who help with club doujinshi along with Ogiue.

Makoto is a hardcore otaku who wears fashionable clothes and is very good at fighting and ero games.

Manabu is the most annoying character of the Genshiken club since he is loud, tries to sound cute, and does bad imitations of famous characters.

Saki hates anything to do with the otaku lifestyle yet joins the Genshiken despite hating their interests. She physically abuses the male Genshiken members because she is easily tempered.

Tanaka has an obsession with cosplaying and making garage kits of plastic models.
