Well... based on the fact that the Chairman seemed to be hinting at Kohsaka and Saki doing something in the Genshiken room for private use... and the fact that he seems to have access to cameras... Saki really didn't have a choice. XD

The chairman is awesome.

I think that Athlete's Foot is just something that's a little embarassing - do you want it pronounced to the world that you have foot fungus?

Ahaha! So the old pres. is a camera perv huh! And Saki got caught getting it one with Kousaka! Ahaha! Don't use the bathrooms on the first or second floor either!

Wow, Saki fighting for the Genshiken, and succeding because none of the other would have had the guts to talk back to Kitagawa like that!

Awesome!

Wait, wouldn't Kohska have known the Chairman did that sort of stuff upon his initiation (when he's left to himself)? Haha I expected him and Saki to have a bit more class. Kohska doesn't seem fazed by anything xD

Def. one my fav eps of the series. "Study of Present Day Food Services" sounds like a great club LOL (does that mean I can always get a free meal or would this mean we'd just go get free samples in a food court?) And the whole athlete's foot thing went over my head the first time I watched this, I guess it makes sense for such an uptight/bossy character like Kitagawa would get so embarrassed over such a silly little thing like that.

I think the president has perfected the ability to blend into the background and observe what is going on without anyone knowing he is there. Certainly he is able to appear suddenly, without anyone seeing him enter the room. That would actually be a valuable ability for doing research on his dissertation (the episode titles would be very good section headings for the discussion chapter).

As for the athletes foot, Kitagawa blurts out why she doesn't want it known. She's worried that if the chairman knew about it, he wouldn't want to go out with her, spend the night, and then catch the fungus from the bathroom rug in the morning. He gallantly steps forward and says he doesn't care as long as he can go out with her.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Alright.....I wasn't too sure about this show until this episode, now I think I'll enjoy it.

The first like 3 episodes I just thought this anime wasn't exactly what I thought it was going to be, or wasn't really meant for me, but now it looks like it will be smooth sailing.

Episode in a bit less fun than the last, but remains sympathetic narrative and character screwup.
Plot from solid mold SOL, the protagonists are Saki and the President, which hides unexpected talents.
Drawings mediocre, what a pity.

I definitely believe the Chairman's a grey alien. The head shape and the eyes. Add in his mysteriously long span as chairman and his rather offputting demeanor and we have an alien.

Funny funny stuff.

Seriously you guys have no imagination.

The reason why the athletes foot is bad is that,( within the school environment ), is athletes foot leaves a trail from person to person. So the Vice President would have been in close contact with the President. Rumours galore so they both get kicked off the school council.

As for Saki, it was never implied that Saki and Makoto were caught. Only that if a person were caught on camera/film that they wouldn't be able to go to that school. So for Saki as one of the self proclaimed normal (possibly popular) school characters were to be seen/caught playing with the anime figures or reading the ero doujishin. She would never be able to show her face in school again.

The prez is so creepy
He's just there staring.. with his alien eyes
And he knows exactly everything xD

Wait what's Saki's secret?
I guess she's watching anime in club secretly?

She should have scream "Athlete's foot couple" at the end xD

That "Luffy" "quote"
Ore wa naruuu!! xD
