(;´∀`) “What? I mean... everybody who visits Otaku Republic knows about Comiket..., no?”

 

 

(  'ω') “Not enough. I just want more, more, and more people to know. I want them to get interested in Comiket and like it even more. And what’s more? I want them to visit Otaku Republic every single day in August, when Comiket takes place.

 

 

ヾ(・ω・´;)ノ “Boss! You just exposed your honest feeling at the very end!”

 

 

(  'ω') This summer, Otaku Republic will try super hard!! .... We’ll try super hard so that everybody can think, “Speaking of Comiket, it’s Otaku Republic!!! There’s everything about Comiket in Otaku Republic!”

 

 

(;´∀`) “Isn’t your goal too high though? You said people in the world...?”

 

 

(  'ω') “And to achieve that goal, our knowledge and comprehension about the Comiket have to be deep.. Saori, I need your help. Can you just tell me what the Comiket is?!!!!!

 

 

( ´_ゝ`)

 

 

(  'ω') “Don’t give me that clear bothersome-like face.”

 

 

Special Saori Press Summer is just around the corner! Do you know what Comiket is?

 

 

● What is Comiket in the first place? ●

 

 

(σゝ∀・)σ “Comiket is... a dream festival where our friends get together and share our hobbies or propensities with each other.”

(  'ω') “I don’t need your subjective explanation.”

 

 

(o'ω`σ)σ “What are you talking about?! Look at all the faces full of satisfied smiles when they come out from Tokyo Big Sight, which is a venue of Comiket!”

 

 

(  'ω') “Ahhh, yeah. I can surely see one person with a wonderful smile at the right side of the bottom, looking at the camera... Okay then maybe you’re right.”

 

 

★What’s Comiket?★

 

 

It’s Doujinshi Sales Event that takes place in the middle of August and the end of December every year. Each event has three consecutive days and has more than 500,000 visitors every year. Not only Doujinishi Sales Events but some formal companies also sell their exclusive items or they even set up a zone where they can freely cosplay so that fans can communicate with each other.

。゚(゚´Д`゚)゜ “Ahhhh... Ayami... You used to be happily writing Ayami Times last summer... why did you die?”

 

 

(ノ*'ω'*)ノ “Saori Senpai! I’m alive!!!”

 

 

(  'ω') “Speaking of summer, it’s Comiket. Speaking of Comiket, it’s Otaku Republic. Comiket is such an important event for Otaku Republic, which takes place only twice a year. We always have new members write a special article about Comiket. We always have new members write a special article about Comiket.

 

 

(o'ω`σ)σ “Why did you say that twice? You mean you’re talking about these two, right?”

 

 

 

 

(  'ω') “Guess what? This time, Mafuyu (a cute girl on the right) will actually go to the venue and write an article. I hope we can deliver a little different article this summer from every year!

 

 

● How were the Comiket in the past? ●

 

 

(´・∀・`) “By the way, do you know how many participants there were at the very first Comiket?”

 

 

(  'ω') “What? Mmmm... There are currently about 500,000 for three whole days so maybe about5,000?”

 

 

(´・∀・`) “Noooope! The answer is 700!”

 

 

(  'ω') “Only that many?!!!!”

 

 

(´・∀・`) “The very first Comiket took place on December 21st, 1972, with 32 groups of Circle, 4 staffs, and about 700 participants (visitors). It was such a small-scaled event that we can never expect from the current scale. It wasn’t like renting a building like we do now but they just rented one of the meeting rooms from a building.”

 

 

This is how the Comiket20 was

(  'ω') “Wowww... it’s incredible. I wonder how the staffs back then are thinking after Comiket has become such a popular event from people all around the world.”

 

 

(´・∀・`) “I’ve heard it was hard from various aspects since not too many anime or manga were accepted from the society back then, comparing to current time.”

 

 

● WHEN and WHAT do they sell? ●

 

 

 

(  'ω') “??? Don’t they sell Doujinshi for three days, no?”

 

 

(●´∀`)σ “That’s absolutely correct but they basically sell different genre of Doujinshi on respective day for three days at Comiket! Of course genres sometimes vary every year but this year...”

 

 

 

Day 1 Group “Manga & Anime ” TIGER&BUNNY Shonen Jump Hetalia Osomatsu-san

 

Day 2  Group “Game”  Kan Colle Touhou Project Touken Ranbu SQUARE ENIX

 

Day 3   Group “For Adult”  TYPE-MOON THE IDOLM@STER Love Live!

 

 

 

(  'ω') “It’s roughly organized like these.”

 

◆ More For Adult Doujinshi & Items!!  → Doujin Republic ◆

 

 

(●´∀`)σ “Right. On the first day, they sell items for Manga, on the second day, for Games and on the third day, for Adult Men, for sure. Even though the company booths used to take place very year, they only sell for the first two days this year! Keep that in mind, okay?

 

 

(  'ω') “Reallyyy? I want to go there on the third day since I want some items of Love Live.

 

 

(●´∀`)σ “You can also check the catalog to see what kind of genre they will have in advance!”

 

 

● What kind of companies are they? ●

 

 

 

(  'ω') “By the way, what kind of items do the companies that participate in sell?”

 

 

(´・∀・`) “Of course they vary every year but here are some examples from last year...”

(  'ω') “It’s quite a full-scaled!”

 

 

( ´_ゝ`) “Yes, they are all exclusive items for the event, which the formal companies sell, you know? That’s why the competitive rate is so high. I think not so many people have items that are sold in the company booths. They are so popular that people always make a long line every year.”

 

 

● Is it true that they have a cosplay zone? ●

 

 

 

(*`д´)σ=σ “Yes, they do! Now the cosplaying at Comiket is just as popular as the main Doujinshi Sales Events! It’s the place where cosplay-lovers show off their craziness about their favorite anime, wearing the loved costumes that they made for this day!”
