Massive 1030 people in front
Thank you!
Then us 11am people
I can't remember which entrance is closer but we want to enter the east hall
East is left from split
Are there signs telling us which entrance to line up-ok!
Yeah there are
When you get to the split for qr it’s left for east and straight for west
These are the early entry people
Yup
I'm tempted to go straight bc I think it's less walking 😆
My mobile speeds def struggling now lol
Yikes
Probs cause it's soooo crowded at Comiket???
Yo! If any of you Comiket attendees ends up writing about Comiket on a trip report on Reddit or on this server, please LMK. I would be interested in reading it!
Ok it’s better now it straight up died for a few min lol
Ubigi gonna die at Comiket, I bet
Sure thing
Prob no report from me this my 4th winter comiket just routine for me at this point
I definitely miss when it was 4 days long though
This is my 4th one as well
2 days and less halls since shut down 
2019 was interesting, the year of 750K attendees
Yeah I was at that one
Much more space to move when it was 4 days I feel like since it’s spread out more
Will today and tomorrows program of comiket be the same? Cause its very unclear on the website
Circles get only 1 day so if you have a favorite artists plan for that day
It depends
Bigger day for me is tomorrow
I have 7 artists booths I need to see today, tomorrow I have like 25
If you never been and you just wanna walk around it doesn’t matter that much
Hmm maybe im looking at the schedule and for tomorrow it seems less things idk
Ye ive never heared of it and just wanna take a look 😁
But i recognize more names today than tomorrow 😅
Going to yokohama animate rn ill see id they have tickets
Animate and melon books best chance
Yes, cant seem to find the melonbooks in yokohama
FROM December 30, 2023 TO December 31, 2023 in TOKYO. Comic Market is the largest Doujinshi exhibition in Japan, with a history of nearly 50 years since it started in 1975. Usually held twice a year in summer and winter at the Tokyo International
Looks like tomorrow might be avail still
Yeah you can still pm ticket which is really like 1 hour later I think lol
If you can find in store or buy on site
Pm ticket is also half price I think or close to it
It’s suppose to rain tomorrow but I hope it doesn’t
Do you know what original derivatives means?
Sunday is mostly that and I don't know what it means. I assume hentai
Yes mostly “fan art” aka prob hentai doujins
The big cosplayers are also day 2 I believe
Their booths anyway
Ahh okay. I prefer hentai doujin but I don't have particular artists I like aside from Crimson Comics
Yeah tomorrow then is where all that’s mostly at
Is it worth lining up for one of the shutter booths? Going to be mad packed but I was curious if the line moves fast.
Not sure what a shutter booth is but lines are pretty efficient for the con itself, for individual artist booths that can vary greatly
Those really popular booths that are near the outside for lining purposes.
It will depend on the artists and can vary greatly
I’ve had ones where they go fast and sell merchandise in and out and I’ve had slower ones where artist likes to chat with fans and it goes slower
I’ve had one where I waited 2 hours only for it to be sold out
If there are more people staffed at the booth should be pretty efficient
Do they separate hentai day by genres such as RPGs?
They do try to group together similar brands but it’s all over the place tomorrow
Since there a lot of originals too and some artist draw all diff franchises
I can take a peak at the catalog when I’m back and see if there’s anything specific you want
That's the hard part about hentai day for me. I like specific series rather than specific artists
Yes please. Final Fantasy, Persona, and Fire Emblem in particular
Ok I’ll take a look when I get back today
Can also try searching for them on twitter and find artists to see where their booth is and general area should be similar series
#c103 hashtag will find you lots of stuff if you append it
But obviously nsfw etc
I am here for action
Action happening soon
How big is the west entrance anyways
Not sure I’m on the east but it should be less crowded just cause East has more halls used
I'm on the east side too. The crowds around us are huge
West side massive. Made it off the bridge bit and almost into the courtyard now
I see movement
Building in sight finally 
If you see someone with a yorimoi bag & a MCM comic con hoodie - come say hi 
When does the event end each day? What hour
We're still not inside yet 😦
4PM
I’m in gl fam
Almost 12PM and still waiting outside in the prison boxes 😦
We are finally moving
Anything to snack on?
I have bread and onigiri
I bought a ticket for tomorrow
Dont wanna go there and risk not being able to go inside
I missed half the corpo floor 

Just visited ichihime at the shrine and got a big fortune 
I wish the onsen at odaiba was still open
Comiket to onsen was the move
But they shut down during lock downs
I’m pretty much done heading to akiba now
Going from west to east through the outside was a mistake lmao
Corpo
I can’t find the way out 
Nvm I found the downstairs. After seeing the queue of people crossing from west to east I might just look downstairs then call it
I’ve got a PM ticket for tomorrow but I dunno if I have it in me to do it all again 
just remember this used to be 4 days long with more halls used
pretty much
Is there more than 1 corporate area?
We are in west halls which looks like corporate but Yostar said they are in South hall 4
We wanted to get the Yostar bag but we couldn't figure out how to get to S4 :/
Day 1 went pretty well, now time to do it again tomorrow 
Yeah I’m pretty satisfied all the artists I went to sold out shortly after
Probably won’t be so lucky tomorrow
Since I have 20+ to check so gotto prioritize
My friend got an early ticket and was able to grab a few things for me that I otherwise wouldn’t have gotten
Although half of them I can skip since they will sell their book at melon books
I got most of what I wanted + managed to get all of the stuff for my friends back home
I mainly go for character goods so it’s not stuff that can be found easily elsewhere
Yeah the non book stuff if I miss I have to check resell stores after
Mandarake and lashingbang and kbooks
Usually have them the day after from con resellers lol
Although I’m more interested in trying to find the stuff from previous comikets
They have em
But will be rare
Gotto dig through
Non doujin stuff will usually be in a case
Mandarake you can search on their site the inventory from my experience is accurate
Bf and I are going to Buta-Daigaku for our victory meal
Did anyone find a chiikawa booth in corporate lol
Love this spot
You're welcome to join us if you're in the area
Damn, that's a huge bowl
Yeah got a large never tried the X-Large though
Hungry boy
140k attendants today according to their official announcement
Is that from the place across from UDX?
I go to the one in shinbashi
Is rinkai line dead there was a huge line for it
Yup
Although it’s probably nowhere near as bad as it was in this picture (taken around 4:00)
when I went at 3:30 - it was very much like that but the wait wasn't that bad to be honest
maybe like 5 mins to get into the station then another 5 to get down in front of some platform doors
i was a bit concerned on the way in though because it looked like there was just a mass of people trying to cram it through the doors 
I had to wait a bit longer. Must have been unlucky and got caught when everyone else was leaving

i left early because I kept seeing cool things on people's tables and my wallet started to hurt 
I'm happy with my purchases. I got a large poster of my favorite character in Fire Emblem
😄 nice
The artists by the shutters destroyed me but overall a good day.
I bought a lot of hentai doujinshi

Good luck to everyone tomorrow. I hope it doesn't rain
Edelgard. In particular, she's in her Christmas outfit from FEH
😄
That's ok!
I haven't played many of the FE games. I started with 3H
I hope you get it soon! 3H is my favorite FE game
in shinjuku rn if anyones down to go drinking or dancing tn
Oh yea buddy
Now you’re talking my language
I’m gonna be at warp tonight like always
Gotta get in before 11 because the price goes up
Shibuya or shhinjuku tonight ? I hit tk and ci la vi yesterday night
havent tried warp yet ..
Why do people go to Warp when there are clubs that are actually good
#attractions message
experiences prolly
i had fun at tk , good mix of latino and hiphop and electro last night
Just got to kabukicho, wya?

just browsing through some of the cosplays people were posting on twitter - I see one guy cosplayed a capacitor 
that's amazing
Yuck rain
fr
That won’t stop us weebs but looks like it may clear up around 10-11
Any advice for same day Comiket ticket
I wanted to get something from the hoyoverse store (pompom plush) but they closed the queue by the time I got up there
Worse case if anyone can get one for me, I’ll meet you at any station 
i usually dont do corporate booth since i gotto speedrun artist stuff before they sell out
so not sure, i know corporate stuff does run out but they also have the most stock to enure the lines
what time did u get there yesterday
Are you sure the queue was closed
Ouch
I went to east and west so got all the doujins I needed which were more important long run
yeah its a mixed bag might need to find someone who also lines up at hoyo but doesnt want to plush
Best bet would be to do it first thing today
9:45! Line closed around 2:30~3 I’m guessing
ive never been able to get everything i wanted
Do you guys know when the line became kinda…walk-in ish lol
Good luck!!!
thanks
i think it rained on one day in 2019 i went
it was rough waiating in line lol
once inside wasnt that bad
I got here at 7 today and the am line was already pretty long
Lots of people took the first trains I bet
How’s the rain over there
I’ll see if I can get there at 1pm and get lucky running to corp booths 🫣
Think if I swing by animate or or melonbooks they’ll still have the discount ticket?
Not sure some may
You’re better off asking someone coming early to pick something up tbh
Yeah or a resell store if there’s something you want
I browse them next few days usually and can look out for one
Shoutout to anyone going to the Hoyoverse booth if they can pick me up a PomPom plushie and I’ll pay you back in cash and meet you at any Tokyo station! DM me!
The rain is letting up a bit here
Are corpo stuff at comiket limited edition?
I think so but they also have the most stock so you can probably find second hand stores
For not that much of a markup
Anyone know what the PM ticket line looks like right now?
Is there even a PM line?
Ah I was hoping to go again today but just missed the eplus tickets (around midnight I refreshed the page and it was closed) so was hoping I could still get in today
They sell pm on sight I believe but not sure where
Same boat. When do you plan on heading there
I haven’t left yet and I’m in shinjuku. Will probably leave in an hour. I’m thinking probably around 12 I’ll be there.
I was there yesterday at around… I wanna say 11:00-11:30 and I walked from R04 which is where the ticket buying line was starting I think (I asked someone in line what they were lined up for and she said to buy tickets lol)
It was massive
But I think it cleared up later very quickly? Once tickets were being bought I think
I don’t know. I think if you’re worried something might get sold out I’d go earlier than that @karmic cliff
I’m mostly just going for Touhou (was looking for it yesterday but realized it’s day 2 lol)
Oh yeah lots of tohou today for sure
This info helps a lot thank you for all of it! I just want corp stuff so I might press my luck and go at 1. It didn’t run out yesterday just line closed
Main reason why I’m here today
Also if you’re in Shinjuku, maybe try checking melonbooks or animate and see if they still are selling bands? They open at 11 anyway
Yeah good idea does anyone know if they still are before I go lol
Yes
I’ll DM you
Ok
Wait it won’t let me because you aren’t accepting friends lol
Add me then
Are you able to wave ?
No
Got them at melonbooks woo!
Can someone explain how the pm wristbands works exactly? Can I only queue after 12 30 or before, so I get to the entry around 1230
When I joined yesterday at 1030, there was a separate queue for PM ticket holders at behind us
Generally you can go anytime but join the correct queue for PM
whoops... jumped the gun there. BB in 12 hours lol
It’s pretty try much free trickle in now
If anyone is planning to come now
Heading to akiba to scoop resell store
Hey guys, does somebody want to meet up tonight to grab a beer or two and celebrate New Years Eve?
Pissed
Rip
Do you now what the thing you want looks like
And how much it is
I’ll let you know if I see it in any resale stores
Yes I I’ll share
I know if they didn’t close the line I would have got it lol
If anyone sees it lmk his name is Pomu 
It’s about 6600¥
Done with C103. Now I sleep 
Gonna grab lunch shower and do laundry and sleep
Then check resell shops
Man I don’t know how I did it when it was 4 days
I did it too but I think I only did 3/4 days back then
Which shops are you checking? Could you send me some?
Mandarake, KBooks, Lashinbang
Even if I’m looking for a plush?
yeah i looked at stuff in the mandarake stores in akiba and nakano broadway and then ended up buying online because it wouldnt fit in my luggage. anything you find in store should generally be visible on the online store and vice versa.
i havent really bought lashingbang online so ic ant say anything about their site
same with kbooks
but yeah mandarake online stock is pretty accurate and it lists out which mandarake store
Can’t find the plush so damn
Might be checking too soon
yeah u gotto wait til 3rd
for online imo
2nd*
but imma stop by kbooks and lashing as i grab lunch and see whats there
last year i did grab something next day for something i wanted
I bought my pc parts today so I can build it over the new year
pc part building party at your place?
At my friend’s place in saitama
slick
But you have to push cause the staff don’t know
