On the first day of the event (August 12th) most of the booths set up were of focused on Hetalia and comics of the JUMP variety. The Hetalia booth in particular had a massive lineup of girls. However, the booth to draw the biggest crowd that day was the company booth for the manga, "We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day," aka “Ano Hana.” Hoards of people had to wait outside under the blazing sun and you could see a lot of them applying cooling pads to their necks and such just trying to survive the intense heat. But that’s what Comiket is all about! I reassured myself as I went to join the line, but after becoming aware of just how many people were in that line my previous reassurance soon gave way to resignation and I gave up…

The second day of the event, labeled “Toho Project Day,” was heavily focused on Vocaloid and Toho Project (or Project Shrine Maiden) and received a massive turnout with cosplayers of the Toho Project characters in abundance. There were a number of amateur Vocaloid singers who often post their own works on Nico Nico Douga (under the ‘utattemita’ category’) with their own sales booths set up – and with massive queues of female fans mind you! There was even one girl who told me she attended Comiket for the first time just so she could buy one of those CDs!
