Actually More Females Attend Comiket

Just read this on Akiba-ch this morning, according to the statistics provided by the Comiket committee, there are actually more females attending Comiket than males otakus.

Actually More Females Attend Comiket

I always thought any otaku event would largely comprised of males, but as the statistic show, Comiket has 57% female attendees, compared to the 42% males.

Similarly, the circles that participate at the event are also largely comprised of females (71%).

Well I guess comiket is a good venue for fujoshi to get their fix of bishounen boy love doujin materials than anywhere else.

Another probable contributing factor would be that there are more females cosplayers at the event as well.
