A "normal" person slowly discovers the secrets of otaku.
Through their characters and premise, both of these titles highlight what it is like to be an otaku.
similar setting and themes , both are great manga.

Are you a lonely otaku, in need of love? Do your figurines and BL comics just not *do it* for you in anymore? Are you in need of reassurance that even you, with pretty boy rape fantasies, can find love? THEN READ THESE SERIES. RIGHT NOW... I MEAN IT!
Genshiken does, towards the end, deal with the subject of nutty yaoi fangirls, but the majority of the content is focused on anime, manga, and other more 'normal' otaku activities. Fujoshi, however, is all about the dark shadow that plagues MAL and makes me clench my anus in disgust: females who are into yaoi. After reading it, I actually started to think less nasty things about those who finger themselves over ladyboys, and that's saying a lot.
Read my review if you want to know why I like Fujoshi more than Genshiken. (You could also read my Genshiken review, too, but I doubt you'd survive until the end...)
Slice of life Otaku fare. If you like the girls obsession with Yaoi in Genshiken you'll enjoy Mousou Shojo Otaku-kei and vice versa.

Similarly lighthearted and comedic, Genshiken features various aspects of the otaku culture including the creation and selling of doujinshi at the comic markets (comikets). Although centered on the quirks of the college otaku's slice of life and less on doujin making, Doujin Works fans should find Genshiken an amusing window to the japanese "modern visual culture" (e.g. anime, manga and games).
If you liked the aspect of a bunch of otaku wanting to make their own doujinshi with comic results, then you'll like this. It's funny, witty and just a little bit rude at times!

Both deal with characters in roughly the same age group that are otakus. As Genshiken comes to a close and the characters start looking for work, it almost works as a segway into Welcome to the NHK, which deals with a similar otaku character who is unemployeed and trying to make sense of his life.

same author and a lot of Kujibiki references.
(actually I think genshiken is more of a parent story and not really making references)

Genshiken is as "graphic" but a lot of the elements match up. If anything I would say Genshiken is more inncoent that Hetakoi.

Both set primarily around an Otaku club of sorts, both hilarious, but in completely different ways.
|
|
|
Both of these series are about the slice of life of a manga/anime culture club.
|
|
|
The main focus in both of these serialisations is to showcase the various activities that club members engage in.

Two great manga about the Otaku's life.
What's better than that?
|
|
|
Both are otaku based comedies that cover a wider variety of pastimes than the norm.
|
|
|
Both feature a female character who writes yaoi doujinshi using people she knows.
|
|
|
These two serialisations follow members of a club designed for otakus. Each member has something they are passionate about that distinguish them from other members. Genshiken has a more slice-of-life feel, whereas Manken. has a more negative aesthetic.

|
One similarity between these two titles is that a female character becomes interested in a male character who happens to be otaku. Provided that she likes the aforementioned male character so much, she ends up investing herself in various otaku activities.
