C93 (Comiket 93)

C93, or Comiket 93, was the 93rd iteration of Japan's largest comic and anime event, held in December 2017. It is a massive, fan-organized convention where creators, often independent artists, sell self-published comics (doujinshi), merchandise, and network with enthusiasts. Drawing tens of thousands of attendees, it celebrates Japanese pop culture, fostering a vibrant community of fans and creators. The event is notable for its scale, diversity, and encouragement of creative expression outside mainstream commercial industries.
