Meanwhile, the original members of Genshiken who have since graduated find themselves coming to terms with their new lives as productive members of society. (Source: NIS America)

Tsuda Takatoshi is about to begin his first year in Ousai Academy. His decision to enter Ousai was based upon it being close to his home and he paid no heed to the fact he'd be among the first boys to enter the recently gender-integrated school.
