The day after Comiket, Saki found the other Genshiken sadly and listlessly reading their doujinshi.

"Now what!?" Saki said. "You've been to Comiket. Why aren't you happy!?"

"It's post-Comiket letdown," Kohsaka said. "When you look forward to an event for a year, it can't possibly meet your expectations. It's like when you go to a critically acclaimed movie, and it's pretentious and boring... or when your favorite band releases a new album, and it isn't very good."

"Or," Saki said dryly, "when your cute, kind and smart boyfriend turns out to be a clueless video-game addict?"

"Exactly," Kohsaka said cluelessly.
