Comifuro X recently was held on 3rd and 4th of March and for the first time, I participated both days of the event. It is a wonderful coincidence that I have every Saturday as off-day. I finished all urgent work and reserved booths for two days. Previously, Comifuro IX in September last year was fun yet suffocating. This could be a great chance to share what I think about Comifuro X as many improvements had been done. FIRST DAY On the first day of Comifuro X, I was in dilemma whether I should cosplay or not because I would be assisting customers at a shared booth with my friends at J20B. Fearing the heat from my experience of attending to Comifuro IX last September, I decided not to cosplay. Perhaps it was a wrong choice or perhaps it was a correct choice. I did not cosplay and decided that I would assist customers while I analyse novel for my thesis. I brought a small suitcase with my books that I would sell; Touken Ranbu Fanfic Compilation vol.1, Touken Ranbu Fanfic Compilation vol.2, Touken Ranbu Lightnovel Momiji no Kioku and original bookmarks. I was wrong to not cosplay because the aircon was on full-blast and it was not as suffocating as the previous event. There were a lot of staffs moving around to remind everyone to be careful of our important belongings. The improvements were apparent. Before the gate was opened, I hurried to purchase my targeted merchandises and how heavenly it felt because there was a flood worth of BTS fan merchandises. I bought what I wanted and returned to assist the booth. I also met many friends who came to pick their orders from our booth. Although it was difficult for me to go out and take photos with them, I was happy to see them. I did not expect that watching a booth would be so time-consuming because I thought me and my friends would take turns doing it. In the end, I did not have time to even touch my novel. At the end of the event, I went to pass my items to another booth which I would share with other friends for the second day. SECOND DAY I cosplayed on the second day in agreement with one fandom friends to cosplay from Touken Ranbu. I cosplayed as Yagen Toushirou uchiban version. I woke up later than yesterday and went to the venue in the noon. As soon as I reached the booth at K15 to meet booth friends, I was astonished by many Touken Ranbu cosplayers gathering right in front of the booth. Quickly, I set my wig and wore the doctor coat to complete Yagen’s look (I had the makeup done before leaving house). Immediately, I gathered with other Touken Ranbu cosplayers and took many photos. Everyone was having fun despite having inconvenient costumes. It was all because of our love to the characters we cosplayed and our love to cosplay itself. To increase the fun, I also gave service I called “Consult Dr.Yagen” at the booth. Every purchase of my product, a fan-service gacha was given to the customer. Whatever they picked, I would act it out. Two of my friends from the booth bought a book from me and they requested hugs and I hope I had given them a piece of what they dreamed for. Two customers took the same fan-service which was a proposal service. I knelt down as I held their hands and proposed. They seemed flustered and embarrassed but happy. It was such a shame, I did not get their contact for the videos to be compiled into one. One customer got a sort of trend that had been going on which is difficult for me to explain. Here is the video. I have heard of the drama going on in Comifuro X regarding an Astolfo cosplayer(female) being harrassed, I hope the staffs of Comifuro could increase security level and I pray for the culprits to be caught. All of us, regardless of sex, should be more cautious as well. Stay safe!
I don’t know if I could attend next Comifuro, but I hope I could and have fun with many friends!
