AnimeNewsNetwork reported that Kodansha Comics will be releasing the sequel to Genshiken – Genshiken: Second Season. A listing for volume one of the series appeared on both Amazon.com and Amazon.ca earlier this week.

Kodansha Comics will be releasing the prequel series in omnibus format with the first volume coming out this May. There’s no indication in the retail listings that Genshiken: Second Season will be released in a similar fashion, though the shipping weight does match the Genshiken omnibus (observation only!). Genshiken: Second Season is currently two volumes in Japan and on-going.

The series is a direct continuation of the original story (unlike it’s several spin-off series), which resumes the story of the Genshiken school club and the activities of it’s ‘otaku’ members.
