I learned a little about myself recently: The title of this blog is very appropriate.
I haven’t really talked much about Genshiken in a while, and it’s expected. The second series is over, the manga is long over. I’ve talked about it numerous times in this blog.
But then recently one morning, I was suddenly struck by the lighting called Ogiue.
The sheer presence of her character moves me to evaluate myself and try to improve, in a number of ways. Sometimes it doesn’t work out, but hey, this is fiction, and Ogiue, as realistic and complex she may be, is not real (as much as I might sometimes prefer otherwise). The events of her life are incorporated into the greater goal of a good story.
So Ogiue Maniax. I talk about Ogiue.
Because I CAN”T HELP IT.
OGIUE MANIAX 
Hiya!
Been googling around after falling in love Genshiken and funny enough, I just watched the episode where Ogiue gets into Comic-Fes and how she kinda accepts her inner Otaku.
Or hates it less…
Anyways I can see how you might connect with her, excellent character =)
Started a fan site for Genshiken and will mainly focus on that but also try to carry on a bit of the spirit and see if there might be a need or wish for a “real” Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture…
So feel free to check it out (work in progress, early stages)

So feel free to leave any coments in the forum, I really loved what I’ve read so far so I’ve added the feed and will read up when I get a chance.
cya =)
