Note: Just in case I didn't explain it well in the video, all of this is about Comiket prior to 2021 when certain events forced them to temporarily halt the event and then revamp it to match the restrictions to prevent the spread of diseases after. The way the event is run now is quite different from back then.

As someone who has gone to this event for years and who does enjoy doujin content a fair bit having made a few videos on events based on such works, Comiket is an event that I've always look upon fondly.

That said, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows and now that I've made a Youtube Channel, let's take a video to talk about the many issues the event faced back in the day when it came to people trying to get as far front in the line as possible. Either way I'll do another more positive video about the event after attending it so may as well talk about this now before I start forgetting stuff.
