1(2b): Good afternoon...
yellow: Re-serialized for a limited time!!
2: ...is this thing
3: one of those "notice it and you lose" games?
4: how rude
5(2b): Ohh! You're unexpectedly correct, Ogiue-san.
6: Geez...we're already past the invitation period,
7: so stop making her cosplay by default, please.
8(2b): Well...you never knoooow...there have been some people who provisionally enrolled and then quit in the past... (Eh?)

top chart:
Last Volume, #9 (Chapter 55) -> Chapter 56 one-shot in the 2010 Feb. issue -> this continuation!!
blue: Chapter 57 - Beyond the Path, the Promised Place
1: There are other people who have hopped down here from other circles like you did, too!
yellow border: Over 3,000,000 copies sold! This monumental work of 'springtime of youth' manga "Genshiken" has now been restarted for a limited period!!
2: Uuu...

5)
top yellow: Attention Afternoon! "Genshiken" has returned!! We've waited four years!!
3: tohh

6)
1: That's why, Ogiue-san, as President,
2: you must keep those three reeled in!

7)
1: ...and definitely make sure you don't
2: let Hato-kun get away...!
3: ...that's just because you want to force him to cosplay, right?
4: Huaaaaahhh
5: Wahh...
6: What's wrong, Su...?!
7: Butt got cold...
8(2b): Oh my...but unlike the anime, you're wearing underwear and stockings, (out of courtesy), so it shouldn't be that bad...
9(no bubble): And there's also a bandage wrapped on top of that.
10: ...I am NOT getting into this.
11: They say "because you're the President," but...
12: How about sitting on this chair, then?
13: Nuuuu...
14: I'm not good at this stuff...
15: I know it myself,
16: That's why I just put up an illustration to gather new members...

8)
1: 'ellooooooo!
2: Oy.
3: Ah...hello.
4(2b): Hello, Yoshitake-san, Yajima-san. Not on the desk, please, Su?
5: Hato-kun...
6: must change clothes somewhere before coming here, right?
7(bl): He's always late.
8: Ahh...yeah, that must be it, right?
9: I've never seen him inside the school, though.
10: I've never seen him take off that wig, either, except one time. (And it was only for a second!)
11: If he actually dressed like a boy, I certainly wouldn't recognize him.
12: There's no way he could go through college totally crossdressing, though.
13(bl): What would he do during lectures?
14: You're right.
15: Yeah, that's true.

9)
1: WH...at's...
2: th-at...?
3(2b): H...hearing that, I feel a little betrayed... (I've been looking for him every day) -- however!!
4(2b): Knowing that he's somewhere in the school changing his clothes right now...ufu...UFUFUFUFUFUFUFU
5: I'm gonna go on a little detective trip!!
6: It'll be OK if I attack him or something all of a sudden, he's just that kind of character!!
7: Ehhhhh?! (Wait a minute, Kuchiki-san!)
8(bl): That guy's the worst!
9: ...isn't he just changing at home? (Hato-kun)

10)
1(2b): ...I feel the same way, but if by some chance he WAS changing in the school, he'd be in great danger! We can't put it past Kuchiki-kun!!
2(2b): Please contact Hato-kun right now!! You know his number, right?
3(2b): Ehhh...?! I know it, but...
4: ...is Hato-kun really that kind of character...?
5: ...what can't we put past him?
6: It is also the President's job
7: to protect Hato-kun's innocence!!
8(small): WTF?
9: ...huh?
10(bl): Ah, would you like one?
11(bl): Thank you.

11)
1: ...hello? (Female voice)
2: ...ah, is this Hato-kun? Sorry, this is Ogiue from Genshiken.
3: ...yes?
4: Ummmm...is it OK for you to talk right now?
5: ...yes, it's fine...
6: ...are you by chance changing right now?
7: ...ah, yes, I am...
8: S-sorry.
9: N-no...
10(small): Yajima-chi?
11(2b): U...umm, incidentally, are you changing...at your house?
12: ...yes.
13: Oh really? Phew! No, uh...
14: Apparently Kuchiki-senpai is searching around school for you.
15(2b): Yes, so...be careful. (We're waiting for you)
16: I'm a little disappointed.
17: Eww, not with kuchiki-kun!
18: --so that's the story.
side: Kio Shimoku: It's embarrassing, but I have returned.

12)
1(2b): But wow, what a relief, huh, President?! Genshiken was just about to have a criminal member!
2: ...haa.
3(2b): I was really nervous! I expected no less of you, President!
4: ...I have no idea what you were "expecting" from me.
5(2b): But, it's not like we stopped Kuchiki-senpai,
6: So isn't it still possible that he'll still commit a crime in the process of searching for Hato?
7: I can't stop Kuchiki-senpai...
8: ...let's just forget about him for now...

13)
1: --but don't you think
2: senpais...
3: you've gotten used to Hato's crossdressing a little too quickly?
4: R...really?
5(bl): Eh? A sweet, halo-shaped food?
6(bl): It's soooo tasty
7(2b): To be honest, I'm still a little...no, quite resistant to it.
8: ...that's probably...
9: Because we've been exposed to the "natural subject" that goes by the name of Kosaka-san.
10: ...huh?
11: That person...he cross-dressed?!

14)
1: Yes, just once.
2(2b): Unlike Hato-kun, he was perfect without even trying. It's irregular!
3: Muuuu...
4: I wanna see! I really wanna see! (Do you have any pictures?)
5(2b): We do, but... (I'll ask) On the subject of cosplay...
6: Saki-san also does it. (A lot!)
7(2b): Eh? HER?
8: And of course Ogiue-san, tooo.
9: What?!
10: Please don't say that.
11: Tanaka-san and the other guys who graduated were also pretty into it. (Three boys!)
12(3b): Kuchiki-san and Ogiue-san are the drop out group that came from other cirlces, too. Genshiken just has a knack for gathering up weirdos! So one or two people like Hato-kun are...
13: ...what about Sasahara-san?

15)
1: ...if you talk like that, then all the newbies will quit!
2(bl): Ohhh, I see!
3: ....ah, sorry.
4(bl): Hmm
5: ...eh? What, Suu?
6: Ehhhhhhhh
7: Time for the 500th~~
8: "Does Hato-kun have a PeniHeart*?" Meetiiiiiing~
9: Woah!
10: Wh...what?
11(bl): You sure don't give up, Suu
12: J...just ignore her...
* line: A penis of the heart
13: I'm gonna go use the restroom.
14: OK.
15(bl): No, more importantly, let's have a meeting to describe who would be the most beautiful as a Sengoku Warlord!

16)
1: I think I've gotten used to them bit by bit...
2: But maybe I'm still not there yet...
3: Yoshitake-san is so carefree...
4(2b): Unlike Kuchiki-senpai, it seems like she isn't socially inept...Yajima-san is a bit stubborn, I guess?
5: But it feels like he's way more calm than I am...
6: ...Su is an exception to everything.
7(bl): Still beyond comprehension

17)
1: ...and that leaves Hato-kun...
2: There sure is a lot I have left to understand...

18)
1(2b): ...ah, hello, Hato-kun...er?
2: ---eh?
3: Ah...oh...
4: H-hello...
5: ...huh?
6: Didn't you just say...
7: You were changing at home...?
8: Hato-kun...
9: Don't tell me... (in the women's restroom...)

19)
1: Ah...
2: Oh no...
3: W...wait, Hato-kun...
4: ...er, woah! So fast!!
5: Wawa...
6: Those are definitely a male's legs...!!

20)
1: If I lose him here...
2: He might stop crossdressing
3: and never come to Genshiken again...!!
4: Nyo
5: Kuchiki-senpai!
6: Please sto...

21)
1: Ah
2: hato-kun
3: ruuuun--

23)
1: Ahh...
2(2b): Ahhh...s-sorry, Kuchiki-senpai...
3(small): Nyo-nyo...
4(2b): I did judo up until middle school...I just unconsciously flipped you...!!
5: I...
6: ...innocence?
7: He can protect himself!
8: I'm sorry...!!
9: ...look, Nyooooo-ku...umm, I...

24)
1: Ehhhhhhhh~...
2: Time for the 1st~~~...
3: "Hato-chan, that is a crime" meeting~~
4: Eh
5(2b): No, it's true, Hato-kun!
6: I know...

25)
1: Even under normal circumstances, changing in the toilet is against the rules for a cosplayer!
2: ...that's what you're worried about?
3: But if it's a girls' bathroom, you could have the police called on you!
4: ...I know.
5(3b): ...but I figured with the girls' bathroom, I just need to be careful when I entered... glance glance
6(2b): If I was leaving the boys' bathroom, I wouldn't be able to tell who was coming in... suddenly
7: That's not the problem here.
8: Why can't you change at home?
9: A...at first I did, but...
10(2b): It's 30 minutes each way, for a total of 1 hour...then adding in the time for makeup and changing clothes,
11: I would end up coming to this room way later...

26)
1: Then just change in here!
2: We can wait outside for a little if necessary.
3(2b): Of course! Su always cosplays in here.
4: I wanted to try...
5: not to have you all see me as a man as much as possible...
6: sniff
7(2b): Hmmmm...what is this...
8: I feel like you've always ruined that possibility...
9: Well how about the opposite.
10: Just come dressed like a guy from the start?
11: You insisting on crossdressing like this is what's causing all the problems.

27)
1: ...we're still not even clear on this whole "fudanshi" thing. (*lit. rotten boy, the counterpart of a fujoshi, a girl who loves reading yaoi and is a general otaku)
2(2b): Don't you think it'd be easier for both sides if we started by getting used to that, and then think about what comes next?
3: You don't understand at all.
4: Kuchiki-senpai...

28)
1: You can't accept the miracle that's happened before your eyes.
2: Allow me to teach you the truth, fool.
3: Listen up.
4: "There's no way a girl this cute..."
5: "could possibly be a real girl." Please don't say that.

29)
1: ...I could have died peacefully if I said it...
2(small): I have like nyo real chances to ever say it...
3(2b): Go ahead, then! Hurry on to the afterlife! And bury yourself in the ceiling with your propulsion engine!
4: ...things are never settled with them, huh...
5: Actually, I kinda like it.
6: ...So what are you going to do, Ogiue-san?
7: I guess changing at home really is the best...
8: There's a place to change.

30)
1: Eh...
2: Su...?
3: --wanna go see?
4: Hato!
5: ...y
6: Yes...!

32)
1: The Madarame Room, which is only walking distance from the school, was confiscated and turned into Hato-kun's changing room.
2: ...eh?
3: And we got a copy of his key so it can be used when he's gone or at work!
4: Eh?
5: ...huh?
side: this is a good outcome!!
6(2b): Woah...isn't this great, Hato-chan?! (Now become happy...!)
7: T-thank you very mu...
8: No...
9(2b): ...hey. Is this circle really OK?
