Tokyo 31st,
Japan 2017-2018
Today, I attend again the Comiket. I purchase a couple of comics and plush animals as there is also a crafts section. I can only admire the passion and hard work that organizers and participants put in the event to make it happen.
"Comic Market (Japanese: コミックマーケット, Hepburn: Komikku Māketto), more commonly known as Comiket (コミケット, Komiketto) or Comike (コミケ, Komike), is a semiannual doujinshi convention in Tokyo, Japan. A grassroots market focused on the sale of doujin (self-published) works, Comiket is a not-for-profit fan convention administered by the volunteer-run Comic Market Preparatory Committee (ComiketPC). Inaugurated on 21 December 1975 with an estimated 700 attendees, Comiket has since grown to become the largest fan convention in the world, with an estimated turnstile attendance of 750,000 in 2019." .- Comiket.

Outside the venue, many people is posing in elaborated costumes. The participants put a lot of effort to imitate their favorite characters from manga and video games.
I take the automated guideway transit service Yurikamome to leave Odaiba. The train is packed with people from the big conference.
I walk the rest of the way to my hotel, enjoying many interesting places along the way. My favorite one from this walk is, for sure, the Hayao Miyazaki's NTV Clock.
