Comiket
Meet the colourful cast of characters and cosplayers who brought the heat to this summer’s otaku celebrations.
After a three-year hiatus, the cosplayers are back at Japan’s largest summertime otaku celebration.
Hazukashikunaibukuro hope to make the train ride home from Japan’s biggest otaku art gathering a little less awkward.
This might be the year for Tokyo Revengers, but there are plenty of other well-known characters in this cosplay photo collection.
After missing multiple iterations due to the coronavirus, organizers feel confident about holding otaku gathering once again.
In a normal year, right now anime fans wouldn’t just be emptying their wallets, they’d be filling up blood vials too.
Free-to-attend, free-to-exhibit event is an online substitute for cancelled Comiket, held in virtual Akihabara.
Fan creators and their fellow otaku weren’t deterred by the fact that they couldn’t be on-site to celebrate doujinshi culture!
Continuing outbreak causes organizers to call off dojinshi event for the first time in its 45-year-history.
