Comiket 99 would ordinarily have taken place in December of 2020, but with the pandemic continuing the event was postponed to May of 2021.
After missing multiple iterations due to the coronavirus, organizers feel confident about holding otaku gathering once again.
If anything, that’s an understatement, because while Christmas comes but once a year, the celebration of self-published doujinshi manga, related merchandise, and cosplay traditionally happens twice a year in Tokyo.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that, in terms of the excitement it generates, Comiket is like Christmas for the otaku community.
