Dialogue in this work
Page 1
- The Result of Failing to Publish a New Book at Comiket ①
- July
- I'm so screwed.
- Establishing a new company, plus all the registration and administrative work that comes with it.
- Crap... I've just gotta power through this.
- And on top of that, the most important thing is...
- Client photoshoots and my regular manuscript work are piling up, I'm insanely busy...!!
- Comiket in August.
- The momentous 100th event!!
Page 2
- I got a wall placement (where the popular circles are) again this time, so I absolutely have to put out a new book.
- This time for sure, I'll pull an all-nighter. I'll definitely make the deadline!
- UOOOOOOOH!
- Heatstroke + Pneumonia
- EHHHHH...
Page 3
- The deadline for the printing press (the place that prints the books) was getting closer and closer, but because I was hospitalized, I couldn't make any progress on my manuscript...
- Hey!! Go to sleep!
- Hieeee! Mom?! (NOT his mom)
- I tried to switch to a different printing press, but since I was planning to release a compilation with a deluxe binding, there was no other place that could handle it.
- This time, it's impossible.
- Staff
Page 4
- Huh... You're failing to publish? A new book... You've attended for years without ever failing to publish a new book.
- And you're going to fail on the 100th event, a commemorative one...?
- Even Yashiro must be feeling down this time...
- ...No? I'm still going, though.

- The Result of Failing to Publish a New Book at Comiket ②
- Previously: He failed to publish his new book, but he's still going to Comiket?!
- I heard... you're going to Comiket even though you don't have a new book...
- ...Y-You know what's going to happen, right...?
- ...I know.
- Compared to the bustling booths on either side, there's just my empty, pathetic self...!!
- That'll be 500 yen for one copy.
- Thank you very much.
- I've seen people in the past get stared at with cold eyes for failing to publish a new book, their spirits slowly dying...
Page 6
- Th-Then it would be better to just be absent...
- ...No...
- There's no such thing as absence from MY Comiket!!
- What's with this guy?
- He's trying to sound cool, but he doesn't have a new book.
Page 7
- Just because you're absent from Comiket doesn't mean your empty space goes to someone who lost the booth lottery.
- So, my style is to think of a way to entertain the people who still come to my booth!
- I see... But what are you going to do?
- ...I've thought about it... As much as possible... as much as possible...
- It's something I don't want to do... for my pride... but I'll do it...!
Page 8
- I have no choice but to turn my own failure to publish a new book into content.
- Yashiro Azuki
- A creature that failed to publish a new book. It must be condemned.
- Do not feed.
- This guy's really lost his mind.
- By the way, this was the night before Comiket.
Page 9
- The Result of Failing to Publish a New Book at Comiket ③
- Previously: By turning his own failure to publish a new book into content...
- ...the Yashiro family planned to survive Comiket...!!
- But, as expected, I should at least make a free paper as a sign of apology...
- Free Paper: Many circles distribute these with announcements, promotions, or simple comics as a bonus service, but this time, it's purely an act of atonement.
- Poster: Often hung behind the booth space to promote the circle. But since there's nothing to promote this time, isn't it unnecessary?
- So that means a paper... and I'll need a poster, too... Is there a place that can print them on the same day...?
Page 10
- The president calls a printing company he's familiar with, but...
- Excuse me, about printing a paper to hand out at Comiket today...
- Today's?! Are you an idiot? lol. Well, I'm going to bed. lol.
- Wait!
- They thought it was some kind of joke and shot me down.
- Just then, a follower told me about "Akihabara Seisakusho"!!!!!
- It's a creators' cafe that handles same-day printing and other services, and it's open 24 hours during the Comiket period!!
Page 11
- So, in about 30 minutes, I finished drawing the art for the paper and poster.
- To Akihabara!!
- His ability to act in these situations is amazing.
- Let's gooo!
- At the workshop, people were giving it their all until the very end, trying to somehow get their new books out for Comiket.
- Okay, I'll print this out for you.
- There were so many people working... And in the midst of all that...
Page 12
- While being watched over by the staff...
- ...my poster was being printed...
Page 13
- So awkward...
- That's Yashiro Azuki, the one who failed to publish his new book.
- That's Yashiro Azuki, the one who failed to publish his new book.
- That's Yashiro Azuki, the one who failed to publish his new book.
- I paid and fled.

- The Result of Failing to Publish a New Book at Comiket ④
- Time rewinds to the decision to go to Comiket and be at the booth.
- Let's do this!
- Right after deciding on the "apology" plan...
- For now, I was thinking I'd just sit at my booth in silence, giving off maximum "I'm reflecting on my failure" vibes.
- Haaah... Well, I guess that's fine...
- How naive.
- Wh-What?!
- Naive, naive... You're still just a spoiled brat. You need to start over from the fetal stage.
- Ah, Mom.
- Do you really think such a half-baked plan is good enough?
- Wh-What did you say...? What's with this all of a sudden...?!
Page 15
- Knowing you, you'll say you're reflecting, but you'll just be on your phone tweeting and stuff.
- GUH!
- That would be pointless. So, to have you monitored...
- I'll hire some tough guys in suits as part-timers.
- And have them watch you to make sure you don't run away from your booth.
Page 16
- That's the mafia.
- Once that's decided, it's time to recruit.
- If you have 500,000 followers, at least one of them has to be in the mafia, right?
- As if... there'd be anyone like that...
- A few minutes later...
- Oh, this applicant!! Isn't he perfect?
- Ooh... This is...
- Did we really get an applicant...?
Page 17
- I said "tough," but I bet it's just some scrawny try-hard.
- Let's see, let's see... Let me have a look at the applicant's face...
- It's this person.
Page 18
- There really was a mafia guy.
Page 19
- The Result of Failing to Publish a New Book at Comiket ⑤
- Previously:
- Preparations are complete... Onward to Comiket!!
- The poster is done, and so are the announcement and the free paper.
- The space where Yashiro Azuki, who failed to publish his new book, is just reflecting.
- None
- There is no new book!!
Page 20
- Alright... My stuff is packed, now I just have to go...!!
- ...Huh? Are you going...?
- You always take a huge amount of stuff with you, but you're traveling light today.
- Why?
- Because I don't have a new book.
- I don't have a new book...!!
Page 21
- Also... let me just check the prep committee's account to see if there are any last-minute changes for today...
- Your cone is ready, so please prepare your new book and your health for next time (Please take care of yourself!).
- They know who I am.
- Oh, whatever!! Comiket is Comiket!! No matter what, it's bound to be fun if I go.
- Let's go, Tokyo Big Sight!!
Page 22
- A pleasure to meet you.
- I am the one who will be monitoring you today. Please be prepared.
- I want to go home.
- This way, please.
- Alexander is a very nice person.
Page 23
- The Result of Failing to Publish a New Book at Comiket ⑥
- This crowd.
- The energy!
- A tough guy.
- Comiket.
- It's starting.
Page 24
- General attendees still have to pay, but the number of participants has increased quite a bit compared to last time.
- Vaccine proof package: None
- Catalog published: Yes
- Max attendees: 55,000
- Vaccine proof package: Yes
- Catalog published: No
- Hall movement restrictions: Yes
- It feels like the old Comiket is coming back.
- Hearing this song really makes it feel like Comiket.
- It's time for the simultaneous check!
- My space is...
- On the wall side... here it is.
Page 25
- First, I'll greet the people at the next booth and then set up...!
- Nice to be next to you!!
- You too.
- Heya...
Page 26
- Azuki, for now, please hang this around your neck.
- I'd forgotten I failed to publish a new book.
- The Comiket of the man who failed to publish a new book begins---!!
Page 27
- The Result of Failing to Publish a New Book at Comiket ⑦
- Right Before Comiket Opens
- This is the busiest time for exhibitors... the circle participants.
- That's right, it's setup time.
- We're short on papers!
- Do we still have change?!
- Each circle does its best to decorate its own space using various methods.
- During Comiket setup, the circles handle everything: putting out stock, display, pricing, and layout.
- By the way, doujin artists do everything themselves, from page planning to printing. Aren't they basically monsters?
Page 28
- However, this time...
- Set up chair and poster.
- Set up free paper and Alexander.
- SET-
- UP
- COMPLETE!
Page 29
- Ah... Your setup looks easy, that's nice...!
- I'm sorry for making you feel awkward, person next to me.
- Setup was finished... However, Yashiro had one last concern...!!
- The visitor who is guaranteed to come to every single circle participant...!!
Page 30
- They protect the peace of this Comic Market and create a safe and secure event.
- They're here...
- A group of professionals...!!
- It's the Comiket staff!!
- We're here for the sample copy check, please.
Page 31
- The Result of Failing to Publish a New Book at Comiket ⑧
- The Comiket staff appeared to conduct the "sample copy check," but...
- But what exactly is a "sample copy check" in the first place...?!
- It's when they personally check the artists' books with their own eyes to see if there's any "inappropriate content."
- This part is no good.
- Crap, I have to black it all out or I can't sell it.
- Help meee!
- It's not uncommon to see an artist who's been called out for inappropriate content frantically censoring their book with a black marker.
Page 32
- Having the staff read the book you drew right in front of you is a form of public humiliation, but...
- N-Nooo... sir... I'm still just an amateur... Heheh...
- FYI: The sample copy check method was different this time; we had to submit copies to headquarters. This manga depicts the old method.
- Once you get used to it, you can seriously just zone out.
- And this time...
- I don't have a new book.
- We know.
Page 33
- Ah, even if you don't have a new book, could you make a last-in-line sign just in case?
- Huh...? Is that necessary...?
- Well, just in case!! Ah, you don't have one prepared?
- Even a rough one made from a piece of cardboard or something is fine!!
- Like the cardboard box you brought your new books in!!
Page 34
- That kind of... Ah.
- New... book...?
- Idiot! This is the guy who... Hey!
- It's that one...
- Ah... Crap. It's him...
Page 35
- Um... can I just use *that* for the last-in-line sign...?
- With a poop drawing or something...
- ◆Next time, Comiket begins!
- A... A poop drawing?! We'll ban you!
Page 36
- The Result of Failing to Publish a New Book at Comiket ⑨
- Previously: Preparations, complete...!
- New... book...?
- The space where Yashiro Azuki is just reflecting.
- And the time finally reaches 10:30...
- Comic Market 100
- We are now open.
Page 37
- Uooooh... It's started! This atmosphere is the best...
- Though I don't have a new book...
- Well... I don't think anyone will come at first, so...
- let's just take it easy.
- ?
Page 38
- It's a ticketed system starting this time, so people will prioritize going to circles that actually have new books.
- I'll check it out on the way, lol.
- Gotta buy it before it sells out.
- It's a waste of their time, so I figure people will only come see me after they've finished their main shopping.
- Okay, please form four lines here at the front!
- Oh... a line's already forming.
- I wonder where...
- ...? What is this...? With incredible speed...
- ...they're heading this way...
Page 39
- What... Why are they all laughing like that...?
- Where on earth are they going...?
Page 40
- A line for me?!
- There's a line even though I have nothing?!
Page 41
- The Result of Failing to Publish a New Book at Comiket ⑩
- Previously: A line formed as soon as the doors opened...!!
- Even though... I don't have a new book...!!
- One paper, please.
- Can I take a picture?
- An autograph, please.
- Whoa, hold on, you guys...
- Shouldn't you go to the places that have books first?
- Huh? Well, yeah, you're right, but...
Page 42
- I wanted to see what kind of creature fails to publish a new book...
- They're treating me like a zoo animal.
- For hours after that, the line never let up...
- I kept handing out papers and signing autographs.
Page 43
- Other attendees stopping to stare at the bizarre scene...
- Why is there such a huge line...?
- Didn't that circle fail to publish a new book...?
- ...and the staff, confused by the unexpectedly long line.
- Okay, form two lines and move forward!
- What is this circle?
Page 44
- For some reason, a stream of people who looked like veteran warriors appeared and spoke to me... "Heheh... To form a line this long without a new book... This is truly incredible..."
- This will go down in history...
- Who are you?
- Comiket is fun!
- Please reflect upon your actions.
- Yes, sir.
Page 45
- The Result of Failing to Publish a New Book at Comiket ⑪
- Comiket had been open for several hours, and I'd spoken with a great many attendees.
- You should go to the places that have books fi-
- Now, I'd like to introduce some of the most memorable and amusing people I met!
- A second-year middle schooler who absolutely refuses to admit he has chuunibyo.
- Huh? This one is not afflicted with chuunibyo, correct?
- Yeah, you are.
- No, this one is not! I'm serious, yeah.
- Yeah, you are. What's with that first-person pronoun?
Page 46
- Whoa, a staff member is coming over with incredible intensity...!
- Am I going to get yelled at for real this time?!
- Eek...
- I'm a huge fan! Please sign my hat!
- Just a Comiket staff member who was also a fan.
Page 47
- Gadget Tsushin
- How does it feel to have failed to publish your new book?
- They were actually very polite during the interview.
- Hey. How're you feeling right now?
- That thing from Osaka
- Wakka
Page 48
- Alexander's friends
- You're seriously working as Yashiro Azuki's guard? LMAO
- That's hilarious! LMAO
- Otaku with all sorts of different hobbies gather in one place and make the event exciting...
- I was reminded once again that Comiket is truly a part of the culture that Japan can be proud of, and I was able to have a genuinely fun time.
Page 49
- Now, if only I had a new book
- ...
- ◆The one thing I wanted to convey with this manga is simply this: "If only I had a new book..." Next time, the final chapter of the Comiket arc!!
Page 50
- One of them continued to sign for over 300 people without a break...
- UOOOOOH
- The other, in addition to monitoring, was for some reason a pro at line management and continued to organize the queue...
- UOOOOOH
- There had never been a Comiket that left me this exhausted!!
- Yashiro's stamina is at its limit!!
- I'd never been so exhausted that I wrote something like this on the last-in-line sign!!
Page 51
- That said, it was really fun, and I'm glad I got to talk with everyone!! It was the best!!
- I will absolutely put out a manga for the winter, so please come again, everyone! I'll do anything!!
- And as for you, Alexander... you were too excellent, so...
- OFFICIAL STAFF HIRE
- The macho Aleki, who showed superhuman skill by perfectly managing the line at this Comiket.
- (Unilaterally) decided to officially hire him as Yashiro staff!!
Page 52
- So, that means you should come to the next Winter Comiket too, Mom!!
- Of course!!
- I didn't get to go and be angry this time...
- My anger will have to be carried over to the next event, so...
- I'll unleash all my pent-up anger at Winter Comiket!! You too, Aleki!!
Page 53
- Huh? Noooo.
Page 54
- The End.
