. "Taking a spin from Genshiken and its chronicle about the daily life of a group of Otaku and their different cultures, in 2009 Shimoko Kio brought Spotted Flower to serialization, it tells the story of a newlywed couple: a hard working husband that used to be a hardcore otaku and still carry some traits of it, and his pregnant wife that learned to put up with her spouse\u2019s hobbies but nevertheless loving him for what he is and eagerly waiting for their child to be born. One of the main charms of the series is that the Husband and the Wife are direct analogies of two Genshiken characters: Harunobu Madarame and Saki Kasukabe respectively, if not outright being them, due to subtle hints pointing out past events strikingly similar to those found in said series. Spotted Flower is serialized in Rakuen Le Paradis, a Josei magazine from publisher Hakusensha, the series is published in a Four-monthly schedule, three short (6 to 8 pages) chapters per year."@en . . . . .
