Held in Makuhari Messe, along with the Tokyo Game Show, the final stage was also the biggest one. As it was also the biggest one, they had a trio [...]

This is it. This is the fabled mountaintop, the event to end all events for Japanese cartoon and comic enthusiasts everywhere, as far as I'm concerned. I've only ever heard and read tales about the bi-annual Comic Market (or Comikè, if you say it like a local) event at the Tokyo Big Sight, and despite [...]
