Comic book market 78

Comic book market (コミックマーケット) is the largest fan bazaar held in Japan and even in the world. Comiket(コミケ) or CM. At present, it is held every year from the second Friday to Sunday in August,129th and 30th in February at the Tokyo International Exhibition Hall in Taiwan, Tokyo. Free admission. Up to the spring of 20 10, it has been held 77 times.

Comic book market has always been a place where amateur comic book lovers sell their second creations into fan stories. Generally speaking, these people or "fan organizations" (サークル) sell these fan diaries in a non-profit way. But in fact, the comic book market is also a place where these talented amateur comic book lovers or "fan organizations" establish their popularity. At present, some famous cartoonists, from early Chai Menwen and Rumiko Takahashi to recent Tong, have also been discovered in the cartoon market. Some "fan organizations" (such as TYPE-MOON) are so popular that they can even earn enough money to corporatize in the comic book market. For example, COMIKET in winter in Japan from June, 5438 to February, 2000, when the full version of Moon produced by the fan group Type-Moon was put on sale. So this is also an excellent place to sell products. With the growing popularity of the comic book market, some professional cartoonists and game companies (generally speaking, there are more companies selling beautiful girls' games) will also participate in the comic book market. Organizations participating in the name of "Company" will be arranged in specific venues. Although the comic book market is mainly comic books and comics, in fact, some railway enthusiasts, Godfrey's clothes designers, amateur singers and even amateur painters will go to the comic book market to sell their works. There is a Cosplay area outside Tokyo International Exhibition Hall for Cosplay lovers to take photos. In recent years, the number of participants has been increasing, and the number of booths sold has reached 35,000 (still rising). Because too many people or groups are interested in setting up stalls in the comic book market every time, lots need to be drawn. The number of people attending each meeting (usually three days) will reach more than 550,000 (and rising). Participants are of all ages, but mainly people who graduated from high school to their thirties. Recently, there are not a few foreigners who have made a special trip to the comic book market and even set up stalls to sell fan stories. Some countries have exhibitions similar to the comic book market, such as the Pioneer Animation Festival in Taiwan Province Province, China.

On the day of the event, many hotels nearby will be full. A few days before the event, the night express bus and night tram to Tokyo will be full. Because every comic book market is held at the peak of Japanese returning home, the traffic leaving Tokyo is equally busy. During the holding period, the new traffic to the venue, such as Lily Gull, Tokyo Linhai High-speed Railway and Sakamoto Beijing Line, will increase greatly (of course, it can't meet the demand). Because there will be a large number of people using mobile phones in the venue, major network providers will install temporary antennas in Tokyo International Exhibition Hall. On the last day, high-speed buses, night trams and Shinkansen departing from Tokyo will also be full. (This is also related to the peak period of Japan's return to China).

Due to the large number of participants, there are a lot of security problems, such as some people queuing outside the venue all night, which will affect the surrounding residents or be harassed by mobs. Although it has been explicitly forbidden to queue up outside the venue all night, some people still choose to wait away from the venue, and the problem still cannot be solved. At the same time, some Cosplayer also complained that they were harassed and intercepted by participants outside the cosplay area, which led to chaos in the venue. At present, taking photos with Cosplayer outside the cosplay area has been banned. The comic book market generally sells four articles: fan stories, fan music, fan games, and enterprise products of girls and girls' game manufacturers. The latest one will be held in Tokyo International Exhibition Hall. The time is August 13- 15 (C78).
