pixiv to exhibit at Comic Market 102! Get your free original merchandise at the "Comiket Oasis"

The pixiv booth will be titled “C102 Relaxation Lounge Supported by pixiv”.

We have designed a space based on the concept of a "Comiket Oasis" where anyone can freely rest their weary feet, hydrate, organize their purchases, or rendezvous with their friends.

(Salt candies are popular in the hot Japanese summer because they help prevent heatstroke by replenishing the body’s electrolytes!)

In addition, we will be hosting various mini-exhibitions and events within the rest area. Take a break and feel the joy of creativity!

・Distribution of pixiv Manga's Our Comiket Record 2 manga challenge templates

• What's more, the entrance to the lounge will feature an interactive display where visitors can chat with a 3D character developed by pixiv through the app “ChatRoid by VRoid”.

Visitors can ask the character about anime, manga, and games, including general information about stories and characters. You can also ask about specific works or genres being exhibited at Comiket, and where doujinshi circles exhibiting those works can be found inside the Comiket venue. The character has been programmed to answer a wide variety of fan questions.

The summer Comiket is known for getting pretty toasty, so take good care of yourself and swing by our rest area to take a well-deserved break!
