If the three chapters you have are by MangaInc, I'd recommend you get Jinmen Juushin's version instead. MangaInc, in the opinion of the Japanese-speakers I know, did a very bad job on translation:
1-2 here: http://jinmen.pyoko.org/ More are coming soon. |

There are only two volumes out currently.
NHK strikes me as a much seedier and depressing version of Genshiken. Whereas Genshiken takes a rather whimsical and light-hearted look at the follies of otaku, NHK wallows in the worst qualities manifested in otakudom like a pig in mud. It's hilarious. |

The second volume only came out this month, so there were only 5 chapters to translate until quite recently. Mangainc's sole translator quit, so it's a good thing that jinmen-juushin picked it up. Please note that it isn't a story about "otaku" in the sense that american anime enthusiasts use the term; it's about folks with a serious psychological condition.

Evil Genius released 4-5, but I am going to avoid their scanslation because they skipped over 2-3 in order to be the first ones to do 4-5, and from their forums they apparently "need translators". They even released MangaCo's scanslation of 2-3 on their tracker instead of their own scanslation.

Managed to read all the translated chapters so far today, and ended up liking it a lot; f*-up main character+nihilism = winning combination for me. There's lot of humor but still I feel overall atmosphere is kinda sad and melancholic, if not hopeless. Looking at the raw chapters it looks things will only get worse.
