Hopkins, Susanna

スザンナ・ホプキンス

Susanna, one of Oono's American friends (more commonly known as Susie or Sue), is a petite girl with a keen interest in yaoi. She appears somewhat harsh and unsociable, startling other Genshiken members by using crude anime and manga quotes in Japanese. As her comprehension improves, her habit of responding solely with quotes makes it unclear just how much Japanese she understands, much to the chagrin of Ogiue and others. Her extensive knowledge of anime and manga quotes suggests that Susanna is well-versed in both, having seen Shinseiki Evangelion, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, Hokuto no Ken, Saint Seiya, Inuyasha, Mahoromatic, Azumanga Daioh, Doraemon, and Lupin III, among others. She also seems to be obsessed with Japanese culture. Her age is undetermined, and those who would know (i.e., Oono) refuse to tell. Susanna wishes to study in Japan in the near future.
In the manga's relaunch, Sue has transferred to Shiiou University and is a first-year student and new club member of Genshiken. She is very close to Ogiue and still spouts various anime and manga quotes. She is employed by Ogiue to be one of her assistants for the official manga Ogiue is writing and drawing.
