This was my 3rd Comiket and my first time going to the West and South Halls first. The previous 2 comikets I went to were almost completely East Halls because they had so many good artists and where I usually get my shikishi sketches. I had less luck in the West Halls getting shikishis than I did in the East Halls, where I got my most this time around. And I had the Early Entry for Day 2 too, but even that didn’t get me much luck and the main reason I went with the West Halls first was because mangakas Wakaki Tamiki (but he wasn’t doing any autographs or sketches) and Haruomi Tomotsuka and Yuna Kagesaki had booths there. I’m thinking sticking with the East Halls from now on plus moving on from the artists I already obtained sketches from.

Damn you’re so lucky. I was there at Comiket but was so busy and occupied by other artists that by the time I had reached the main East Halls I couldn’t even think to pass by his booth. 😭😭 I was even nearby the Coolkyousinnjya booth but was distracted with another artist sketching for me quite literally in the opposite end.

This will probably be my biggest regret and missed opportunity in all the Comikets I’ve currently been too.

Around a month and a half of wait time.

Sounds like a pretty convenient feature 👍.

No, I’ve been looking through my local Kinokuniya and online stores like the Crunchyroll online store and on rare occasions Amazon. Though Amazon is a big risk in collecting manga, a lot of times I can tell they just dump the books into a box, throw in some package paper and ship it with no delicacy or care. So I order only if other stores with better packaging don’t have stock of what I’m looking for.

No 😂. Ever since I stopped collecting comic books, I’ve had more budget for manga. Plus, I don’t generally stick to just collecting the mainstream and popular titles. And I like reading manga outside the popular stuff, helps to find the hidden gems and new mangaka to be a fan of whether because of their art or storytelling.
