Cosplayers Assemble!
Comiket 100 took place on August 13~14th at Tokyo Big Sight. It was the 100th Comiket since the event started 47 years ago!
While Comiket 100 continued to have restrictive measures to deal with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 170,000 people attended the event over the two days.
One of the major attractions of Comiket is seeing cosplayers bring their best games for the world to see. Here are some of our top picks of the coolest cosplays and the most hilarious cosplays from Comiket 100 that have gone viral!
