So Kousaka would rather jack off to some ero-manga than do his girlfriend?

I can't stand Kosaka anymore. I cant' actually pinpoint why, but there's something in his attitude/demeanor that ticks me off.
Saki, why won't you ditch him already?!?

Well, I liked the ep nonetheless; not as funny as some others but still fairly enjoyable.

Yey! I like Keiko, Sasahara's sister!

Crazy stiched together episiode of Genshikens beach adventure and return to comifes!

Well, I guess it's a Keiko episode! It's nuts to think their (well, Sasahara's year) almost halfway through their university career. Almost the end of the second year! Bu-weeeeeeee! I dont want it to end!

Does anyone else think this ep showed the shallowness that girls have? I mean, Sasahara's lil sis tries to get with Kousaka (who has Saki right there with him) all the while she apparently had some other dude on the sides that called her out for being there (course, he was just as guilty as she was apparently). Then, lil sis only takes up a "supposed" interest in comi-fes only to try and get Kousaka to notice her. Then Saki decides to go to the con just cuz she's so paranoid of Keiko (which what does that say about her apparent trust in Kousaka's ability to turn down other girl's advances?) Then by the very end, she acknowledges that Kousaka will go home and fap instead of letting her be with him that night and is cool with it (cuz to take a stand and actually say that it makes her uncomfortable to him like a mature adult and partner in a serious relationship should just might risk a break-up and where would she be then if she didn't have such an apparent catch/eye candy/boy toy like Kousaka!?)
Honestly Saki, you make me sick...

If you haven't guessed, i was kidding the whole time, but regardless, this ep does kinda show how far Saki is willing to go just to stay by Kousaka's side.

They're not shallow but they expect guys to make the first move and like to feel like they are the prizes to be won. How about Saki grabbing Kousaka and "do" her bf instead of the other way round? They want to be the big shots in the picture...

That's kinda true. I can relate. Lol

Did anyone notice the girl on the bag when they were at Comiccot? It looks like Nagisa from Clannad. Actually it's Suzumiya Haruka from Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.

The growth of the whole group this time is much more palpable than usual, the evidence is also given in the relationship between Sasahara and his sister Keiko.
Narration not bad, less fun and more focused on serious things, not bad considering that the pace is always slow.
Drawings which are mediocre as usual.

I love how this series incorporates tropes of anime and utilizes them. The "beach episode" was a great pastiche of it and then right into Comifes.

Kousaka doesn't bug me simply because his actions aren't malicious. I don't think he'd cheat on Saki for one, simply because he's oblivious to everything. He's in his own world and yes that leaves Saki out at times.
But it's not done to be mean he is just more passionate about his hobbies than he is about anything else.

It's something I can understand.

Keiko was funny with all those attempts to get to Kousaka, but Saki didn't let her do a thing.

I don't really get how Kahsukaba is okay with Kohsaka indulging in pornographic content while their together. She even admitted that it feels like he's cheating. I guess it was just a different time culturally, and women just had to come to terms with things like this as the porn industry was growing.
