Comic Market (Wikipedia) is the world largest self-published comic fair, held semi-annually at Tokyo Big Sight. But they don't simply sell comic books!

Let Wikipedia to take care of "official" explanation of Comic Market. YokosoNews will be welcoming a Japanese computer otaku to talk about his own view of Comic Market.

Atsushi Umeda has been going to Comiket since 1997 over 20 times. He knows all kinds of dos & donts of Comic Market.

If you want to experience the world largest comic fair, you must prepare for the world-class.

This will be no-holds-bar extensive, complete and comprehensive guide of Comic Market that has never been revealed to the English audience!

Let's hear how half a million total attendees spent about 20 billion yen (200 million US dollar) on December 29-31, 2010.

We'll be taking questions of Comiket via social timeline (Facebook, Twitter, AOL & MySpace) during the live show.

This live show will be archived and the recorded video will be posted on this page.
