Comike

If you are at all interested in Japanese comics, perhaps you’ve heard of the Comic Market, or Comike (I’m not sure where they got that abbreviation, either). For three days, twice a year, thousands and thousands of geeks converge on the Tokyo Big Site convention center to buy and sell homemade comic books of surprisingly high quality. This is a tiny, tiny fraction of the people in attendance, at the cosplay square. It was a truly overwhelmingly geeky experience.
