Record Numbers at Comiket 76: 560,000 Attendees

comiket_76_day_3_crowd.jpg

As expected, Comiket 76′s final Day 3 surpassed Day 1′s record-breaking number of attendees, bringing in over 200,000 pilgrims who braved the sweltering summer heat to come to the semiannual otaku Mecca for the event’s most ero-heavy day.

This means the reported figure for total C76 attendance over its three days is a whopping 560,000 (roughly 4.5% of the population of Tokyo, the world’s most populous metropolitan area), beating last year’s summer Comiket 74′s piddling 550,000.
