#415 | Encounters and Inspiration at COMITIA 156 | Ie de Hitorigoto Radio
In this episode, I reflect on my personal experience participating in COMITIA 156, sharing the discoveries and inspiration I found at the event.
The unique energy of a space filled with self-published manga.
COMITIA is an exhibition and sale event dedicated exclusively to original works. With booths from professional manga artists as well, it was a precious opportunity to speak directly with the creators of the series I read regularly. Since I also participate as someone who distributes my own books, I always learn a lot from the ingenuity of others' displays, such as booth construction and book design.
Discovering something new by exploring the entire venue.
Circle layouts and the use of space are also fascinating aspects of walking through the event. It is a unique joy to stumble upon a booth by chance and find a wonderful book that you simply have to pick up. I had a particularly rare experience inside the venue, which I hope you will listen to in the main episode.
A recommended place for those seeking creative inspiration.
I feel that the charm of COMITIA lies in how it can be enjoyed from both the perspectives of an exhibitor and an attendee. Of course, just feeling the atmosphere of the entire venue—beyond just buying books—is a huge source of inspiration. This episode reflects my desire to continue visiting such spaces to bring back plenty of hints for my creative activities. Please enjoy the rest of the story in the main episode.
