Sasahara and Madarame were staffing the Genshiken table at another university open house.

"Think we'll get any new members today?" Sasahara asked idly.

"I hope so," Madarame said distantly. "This is my last chance before graduation to mold impressionable young minds."

Sasahara sighed. "Well, you've certainly left indelible fingerprints on my brain—"

Ignoring him, Madarame stood up from his chair and pointed at a girl as she walked up. "FRESH MEAT!!" he shrieked.

The girl blinked. "Excuse me?"

Sasahara cleared his throat. "Down, Madarame!... Hello, Miss. We're the 'Society For Study Of Modern Visual Culture'—"

"Oh!" the girl said. "You're Genshiken, right?"

"You've heard of us?" a surprised Madarame asked.

The girl smiled sweetly. "Actually, I was looking for you. You see, my boyfriend is into anime and video games, and I don't know much about that stuff..."

"This story is strangely familiar," Sasahara said to himself.

"...and I was thinking of auditing your club," the girl said eagerly. "I mean, it's only anime and video games. There isn't that much to it, right?... Right?..."

Madarame began to drool. "Oh," he said to himself, "she'll be fun to break."

The girl sweat-dropped.

"Miss?" said Sasahara. "Run. Run far. Run fast."
