Comiket 106: How to Get the Hottest Doujinshi Even If You’re Not in Japan
What is Comiket?
Comiket, short for Comic Market, is the largest doujinshi fair in the world, held twice a year in Tokyo. It’s where thousands of independent creators (known as circles) and major publishers gather to sell limited-run manga, art books, games, and goods directly to fans.
The event attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each edition, making it the ultimate treasure hunt for collectors of Japanese pop culture.
When is Comiket 106?
Comiket 106 took place in August 2025 at Tokyo Big Sight, Japan’s largest convention center. As always, it was packed with exclusive releases that sold out within hours.
If you missed attending in person, don’t worry — many of these items are now appearing in stores like Toranoana, Melonbooks, Suruga-ya, Booth, and Mandarake.
Why is Comiket such a big deal for collectors?
- Limited Editions: Many items are printed only once and never reprinted.
- Direct from Creators: Buy directly from the artist or circle — sometimes with signed extras.
- Variety: Doujinshi, illustration books, games, keychains, badges, and more.
- Trendspotting: Discover new fandom trends and rising artists before they hit mainstream.
