ComicVket is a virtual doujinshi event where you can buy doujinshi and interact with other attendees while visiting each booth. You can visit it from your smartphone or PC as well as VR devices. The doujinshi works can be purchased by digital downloading or mail order. From April 10 to 12, 2020, the test event "ComicVket 0" was held and attracted a total of 25,000 people. 

 

"Virtual Akihabara" is recreated based on the 3D city model data provided by Japanese map publisher Zenrin. In the streets of "Virtual Akihabara," 60 restaurants and electronics stores that actually exist in the real Akihabara town will line up in a row, offering shopping coupons to the visitors.
