Even though COVID-19 has shuttered most doujin events in Japan, HIKKY Inc. is bringing what could be the Comiket spirit this summer with ComicVket 1. From from August 13, 2020 to August 16, 2020, fans can “go around the booths, buy (dojinshi) books, and socialize with participants.”
What is ComicVKet?
ComicVket is virtual comic convention/doujin exhibition. Fans can attend ComicVket for free via their computer, smartphone, and VR connected devises.
