I don’t have a long time to write my post today. The reason is that my friend wants to get his Touhou 11 game and wants to line up at 3AM in the morning. I have a few things to say about this. One, he is crazy to do this. Two, it’s going to be hot. Three, I need some sleep…not on the floor…a bed would be lovely. Well anyways, lets talk about my day at Comiket. My first Comiket and I have to say, it was boiling hot. It was already a lot of people lining up for Comiket when I went today at 5AM.

Well, we arrived at 5AM in line… There were already people a head of us. Just sitting there is just hard since the hot weather keeps coming…

This is the amount of people that was waiting in line with us…so far…

As time goes by, the number increases. One of Adun’s friends said that there is around 10 people joining the line every one second… At this time, it’s really hot outside… If you do plan on coming to Japan for Comiket, be prepared for really hot weather…

It’s so hot!!!!!!!! I’m going to die in this heat…I need more fans!!!!!!

At around 9AM, we started to move. I was excited but yet hot. I think at this time, half of my shirt I’m wearing is soaked in my sweat. It’s that hot outside…

Looking back. As you can see, there are a ton more people right behind us. I was like wow!!!!!! So much people, I hope that I could get the goods I wanted with a line this long!!!!!!

IMG_1843 []

Closer and closer to Big Site!!!!!!

We stopped till it was around 10:15AM. Then we headed for the west wing of the convention.

Walking up the stairs was already a challenge in it’s self in this blazing heat of Comiket. The temperature of today is 35 degrees. That’s really hot. In Canada, I don’t get this kind of weather.

Well, I headed in and went crazy for a while. I bought some goods and headed to the GoodSmile Booth. I spot this…FIGURES!!!!!!

IMG_1890 []

More Nendos…

IMG_1891 []

So many figures, I want to take them all home!!!!! I had quite a bit of goodies in my hand at this time. So I decided I have enough for now.

Well, after wandering around, we decided to go to the east wing where all the doujinshi is sold!!!!!! There was a lot of people lining or walking to the east wing. I was around a 15 minute walk from the west wing to the east wing of Tokyo Big Sight depending on the line and the amount of people…

IMG_1904 []

This is the doujinshi hall. There are a ton of doujin sellers here…I bought a few for my friend since it’s yaoi day. They wanted yaoi, so I got them yaoi. Mission complete!!!!!! I just can’t believed that I just bought yaoi doujinshi…well, it’s for the sake of my friends. Next year, they are going to come and go buy their own doujinshi so I don’t need to.

IMG_1928 []

Sat down and took a rest…all this walking is killing my foot!!!!!!

IMG_1931 []

The goods I obtained at Comiket…so far…

IMG_1937 []

Well, it was aorund 2PM when I left… Well, we were getting tired so, we decided to head back to our hotel in Daiba.

IMG_1946 []

There are lines for the bus…

IMG_1948 []

Line for the monorail and lines for the taxi. There are just too many lines and waiting to get on the subway is hell already due to the fact that it is hot outside!!!!!!

IMG_1964 []

Was able to make it to the station. There is still a huge amount of people at Comiket when I left…

IMG_1974 []

We arrived back in the hotel. I saw this. The glass cup is made of ice and I think there is ice cream inside. I have to say, this is really nice!!!!!!

Once I took a break, my friend and I meet up with Adun and his group for dinner. We ate at this noodle place somewhere and it wasn’t bad. Soba noodles are actually pretty good!!!!!!!

IMG_1988 []

Well, we arrived back the station of Shimbashi after dinner. We had to get ready for tomorrow since there are some good doujinshi I want there. It’s pretty nice!!!!!! Well, in a few hours or so, I’ll be heading back to Comiket to line up one again. Once again in the hot weather.

Well, it seems that rushed this post, well, I did. I’m tired and want to get some sleep before I head out at 3AM or so. Well, going to try to provide better coverage for day two.
