December 30th is the first day of Comic Market (101), a large-scale doujin exhibition in Japan. The booths of many well-known creators have formed long queues since the opening of the event, including the booth of manga artist Hamaji Akira (はまじあき). His four-panel comic "Rock of Loneliness!" "The animated adaptation last season was a huge success, and many fans came here to admire it. However, the stalls on Bin Road are not indoors like everyone else, but a lonely stall outside! Let’s follow Otaku News to see what’s going on~~

"My booth is in Friday West District So06b. This is my first time to participate in Comiket! Please give me your advice!"

Japanese cartoonist Akira Hamaji (はまじあき) announced last month that he had won the Comic Market (101)’s qualification for setting up a stall in the fan exhibition immediately sparked a lot of discussion among Japanese netizens.

On the one hand, it is the four-frame comic "Rock of Loneliness!" created by him. "The animation aired last season and received a very positive and enthusiastic response. Therefore, many fans can't wait to meet Teacher Hamaji!

Teacher Binji’s stall did not sell “Rock of Loneliness!” 》related products, but sell the doujinshi of "Blue Files"!

On the other hand, Mr. Binji’s booth was criticized for being poorly arranged...

Comiket organizers always evaluate the number of people each stall may attract and use this as a basis for arranging stalls. The more likely they are to attract a large number of people and cause heavy traffic jams, the so-called "big hand" stalls will usually be moved to the edges or corners of the venue to facilitate staff to guide the queues of people and avoid hindering the movement of the venue.

However, the seat assigned to Teacher Binji was on one side of the long table in the center of the venue, which is commonly known as the longevity seat (birthday seat). Stalls that are considered "more popular than the average attendees" will be placed in the birthday booth, allowing the stalls to get a little more queuing space.

This arrangement triggered a large number of Japanese netizens to complain, and they all questioned whether the Comiket organizer was not following the animation of the season at all. Don't they know that the crowd that Hamaji-sensei's booth may generate is definitely not just a little bit, and it will definitely explode if placed here?

Japanese netizen Hendra, who was placed next to Mr. Hamaji, also said:

"I heard that the original author of "Lonely Rock!" Mr. Akira Hamaji was placed in the "Blue Files" area, which may cause a big traffic jam... and I am right next door... …"

The organizer may have heard the protests and complaints from Japanese netizens, and then quickly coordinated with Teacher Binji to move his stall to a more open area... But this new location made more netizens dumbfounded!

"After I coordinated with the staff, the stall was moved outdoors. Please refer to the picture (I posted it on the original stall) for the detailed location. I'm sorry to have to make everyone line up in the cold wind."

"The stall is set up!!"

The new location where Teacher Binji was moved is actually outside the venue, next to the driveway next to the parking lot! This made many netizens joke: "The author of Lonely Rock is setting up a stall in Loneliness"! ! !

However, as the event started, a long queue of people immediately formed in front of Teacher Binji’s stall. It can be seen that the organizer made the right decision by moving him here...

As expected, there was a long queue! ! !

(lll^ω^) Little Loneliness should feel more at ease here than in the venue~~
