I think this series was a favorite due to the fact that I could sit there and say "That is SO true." Whether it was discussing the newest episode of Kujibiki Unbalance, or making a trip to a dojin con, the guys (and later girls) of Genshiken were always doing something that you wish you had the money to do (if you hadn't before, like myself.)
I haven't read the manga past volume 1, so I can't really do a review of it, but it seems like the basic anime/manga adaption set - Nothing much seems to have changed between the two, although I do think that there were a few anime-only characters later on (I'm not sure about this, so feel free to ignore that last part.)
Without me rambling on, let me end it with this - If you consider yourself a fan of anime, manga, or the Japanese culture at all, give the gang of Genshiken a chance. You won't be disappointed.
