Source Material:
Synopsis: Another college semester begins. Returning members attempt to recruit new members. Three new members join, attracted by Ogiue's BL drawings. Ogiue welcomes them but fears the club will become a "rotten girls" haven for yaoi fans and is getting too far removed from its original purpose.
Source [1]: Sasahara Kanji is a college freshman who decides to join a student society to share his hidden thoughts on manga.
Overview Content:
A new college semester begins.
Returning members of the Genshiken club attempt to recruit new members.
Three new members join the club.
These new members are attracted to the club by Ogiue's BL drawings.
Ogiue welcomes the new members.
Ogiue expresses fear that the club is becoming a haven for "rotten girls" and yaoi fans.
She worries the club is moving too far away from its original purpose.
Word Count Check: The provided info is very sparse. I need to reach 160-220 words.
Wait: The instructions say "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Problem: The provided synopsis is only about 50 words. The source [1] adds one sentence about Sasahara Kanji. It is impossible to write a 160-220 word summary using only these facts without repeating them or inventing details.
Re-evaluating constraints: "Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: I cannot meet the word count requirement (160-220 words) without violating the "only verifiable facts" and "do not invent" rules.
Strategy: I will write the most comprehensive summary possible using the facts provided. If I cannot reach 160 words, I will prioritize accuracy over the word count constraint
