COMITIA 97 was held on Sunday August 21st at Tokyo Big Sight with over 2,700 exhibitors. It’s a regular event for comic drawers and illustrators to sell their self-published comic books, founded in 1984 and currently held four times a year in Tokyo. Much smaller than Comic Market (a.k.a. Comiket) but East Hall 5-6 of Tokyo Big Sight was pretty crowded with comic fans!
