Takayanagi from the manga society frequently interacts with the members of genshiken and they have a friendly relationship. during one instance, he was caught in the middle of a conflict between the female members of his club and ogiue, who tried to join their group. this situation caused him great relief when genshiken welcomed ogiue, as the other girls from manga society already disliked the members of genshiken for various reasons.
