Highlights
- First three-day winter Comiket since C95 in December 2018 — C97 (Dec 2019) ran an exceptional four days split across two venues after Tokyo Olympics construction closed off Tokyo Big Sight's East halls, so it isn't a true three-day precedent. C109's extension follows record circle-application numbers at C107 and continued growth at C108
- Tokyo Big Sight's East Halls 4-6 are closed for renovation this cycle, so the show runs across fewer halls despite the extra day
- Circle (doujin creator) applications are expected to open around August 2026; general-visitor wristband pricing and the hall map follow later
Background & story
Comiket (Comic Market) has run since 1975 as Japan's flagship doujinshi convention, twice a year at Tokyo Big Sight. The last genuine three-day winter edition was C95 in December 2018 — C97 (December 2019) ran an exceptional four days split across two venues, Ariake and Aomi, after Tokyo Olympics-related construction shut down Tokyo Big Sight's East halls, so it doesn't count as a three-day precedent. This cycle's committee cited a post-pandemic surge in circle applications, plus the venue's ongoing renovation, as the reason for extending back to three days.
Good to know
Circle applications (for doujin sellers) are expected to open around August 2026 — general visitors don't need to apply, but should watch the official site for the wristband entry price, daily hours and hall map, none of which were published as of July 2026.
