This one-shot OVA reunites the Genshiken club for a New Year's outing, as visiting American fan Susanna Hopkins and professional cosplayer Angela Burton join the group for a shrine visit and a first sunrise of the year. Bundled with the manga's fifteenth volume, the special leans into the same blend of otaku-culture comedy and slow-simmering romantic tension between club members that defines the Nidaime era of the series, without advancing the ongoing plotlines much further.
