Summary
Shouron Genshiken: Hairu Ranto no Yabou is a captivating Japanese light novel that unfolds the story of the Genshiken Club being disrupted by the arrival of Ranto Hairu, a determined transfer student with strong opinions about club activities. As the newly appointed chairman of the on-campus club organization committee, Hairu's arrival signals trouble for the club members who face the threat of losing their beloved organization. Filled with comedy, school life, and supernatural elements, the novel follows the club's struggle to survive against Hairu's rigorous standards and the unexpected introduction of a skilled ancient sword fighter.

Description

The deafening whack-whack-whack of a helicopter above campus is the first indication that the balmy tranquility of the Genshiken Club is about to be disturbed. The chopper brings handsome Ranto Hairu: transfer student, scion of a powerful Japanese conglomerate, and newly named chairman of the on-campus club organization committee.

Hairu has strong ideas about the kind of clubs that deserve to survive (earnest, industrious) and the kind that don’t (arty, frivolous), and he’s a big fan of brute force. For Madarame, Kousaka, Ohno, and the others, the idea of losing their cherished club is the ultimate nightmare—but it’s only the first of many.

Fortunately, the Genshiken boys and girls have a few tricks of their own, including a certain sword fighter summoned from ancient times who could prove very handy.
