Its a Sunday, so I doubt there will be any MMO scoops being posted. With this in mind, I will be posting about Comiket 76 instead.
What is Comiket ? It actually stands for Comic Market, the largest comic event in the world, and of course, held in Japan 2 times a year.
The most recent Comiket, Comiket 76, attracted the largest crowd in history with 180,000 attendees on the first day itself. (Edit: Day 3’s record attendance is 560,000)
You might have seen Comiket being referenced in various comics and animes, including the strategies needed to get the collector’s edition goodies, like wake up at 4am, prepare breakfast on the go etc.
Here are some pictures from the event. Man, I love Japan. Otaku forever ~!!!
