We should all know by now that every event will have their interesting moments, or stories.. I found these information rather interesting and funny at the same time. Over at C76(Comiket 76), let’s forget about the great figurines they have on display, the awesome otaku crowd and concentrate on the moments that happened there ^^”.

By the way, Comiket 76 breaks the attendance record of having 180,000 on Day 1, 10,000 more than last year’s C74.

Summary of C76 DAy 3:

• Fake wallet containing only a 5 yen chocolate gets stolen
• Brake problem arises on first train on Rinkai line
• Somebody broke his leg while being pushed around on the over packed trains (no direct eye witness account)
• Some kid thinks he’s a customer and shouts for the guy in charge to talk to him
• Kid crashes into table causing DVDs and books to get ruined and put the goods up at half price, but their regulars still bought their goods despite the condition and they managed to sell everything
• Somebody’s camera lens got stolen off in the crowd

• Comiket staff heard commenting that Touhou fans are really unruly

Information is from 2ch, so not 100% of them are true and verified!

The LOL part was probably the Father and Son who didn’t know that it was Comiket and just queued up XD. The wallet being stolen was scary O_O. 1 million yen gone just like that!
