Participated in a circle at DOUJIN markenplace on 5/5.

Hi,this is SHIAr.

I will write about “Girls Frontline” DOUJIN marketplace on 5th May 2023.

We participated in an event held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center in Asakusa.

This will be the time to write about the day’s flow and thanksgiving.

A Day at DOUJIN marketplace

10:00

I grabbed my circle ticket and went to the 6th floor of the venue!

This time, the venue was on the same floor as other genres, and from the layout of the venue, I had the impression that it was quite crammed.
And this is where the battle begins.

Circle entrance was at 10:00, and the general exhibition hall opened at 11:00,
That means we had only one hour to prepare.

In that one hour, we had to register, cosplay, set up our booth, greet our circle acquaintances, and so on….
I really don’t have much time.

To accomplish this amount of work in one hour requires a strategy.

• Makeup must be done at home.

• The character to be cosplayed should be easy to wear.

This would keep the cosplay change to about 40 minutes, and then we would prepare the booth.

11：00

Open!
Well…it’s very crowded!

I haven’t seen such a crowded show in a long time…. I haven’t seen such a crowded event……..
The aisles were packed….

People who always come to our booth.
Those who came for the first time.
Those who brought souvenirs and gifts.
Authors who participated.

I always think it’s a really warm. I love it.
Thank you so much for those who are always kind to me.

14：00

As the number of visitors was dwindling, we cleared out our booth and went to the cosplay area where cosplayers could take photos.

I also met with the cosplayers who were participating in the circle,
I had a lot of fun interacting with the cosplayers who were participating in the circle as well as the general public!

Thank you very much for welcoming my book!

By the way, I carry in my works on the day by myself on my suitcase, and it definitely weighed about 7kg on the way there….
It was heavy…
On the way back, I only brought back what I bought and a few remaining books.

It was so much lighter.
Thank you so much for picking may works~!

This is the spoils of war.

When I think about making my own creations, I realize that everyone puts their heart and soul into each and every DOUZINSHI they create.
It takes time and money.

It is a blessing to be able to hold such works in your hands….
I really enjoy making coterie magazine.

Thank you so much to everyone who came to meet us!
As always, it was the most enjoyable event!

Next time…I hope to see you at Comiket….
Next time, I will write about M16’s photo shoot. xoxo
