Comiket 80

Hey guys if you didn’t know already Comiket (コミケット), also known as Comic Market (コミックマーケット), Is one of the world’s largest and longest running comic convention/ fair. Starting way back in the winter of 1975, Comiket grew from around 600 attendees to over half a million visitors at Comiket 80 this year. Comiket is held twice a year in August and December selling mainly Doujinshi by hundreds of different circles with myriad themes and styles dedicated to parades of Anime, manga and gaming. The circles selling at Comiket range from independent and small artists, promising new-comers and some professional Hentai and Yaoi groups sometimes boasting earnings up to and over millions of yen!

Back from Japan - Summer 2011

Hey guys we’re back from (an extremely hot) Japan. The last few weeks have been the busiest of my life I think. As well as Japan we had the LFCC (London Film and Comic Con) the weekend before we left and the Manchester MCM Expo the weekend after we came back… but we do it because we care, honest. Other than sweating like Pedo Bear in a playground (TMI right?) I had a really good time so it would be really nice over the following weeks if we could share what we got up to (minus the sweaty bits… I promise). As well as our blogs about Japan we’ll also be letting you guys know our plans for October MCM Expo! We’ll be showing off some of the great stuff we’ll have on offer.We’ll also be implementing some changes to TokyoBookstore but don’t worry they’re all for the better trust me.
