Japan's biggest doujin event, Comic Market (Comiket), just wrapped up its latest installment (C106) from August 15-16. Despite the scorching heat, nothing could dampen the spirits of hundreds of thousands of attendees who flocked to the venue over two days.
While snagging goods at Comiket can feel like a full-blown war, a recent discussion on Japanese X (formerly Twitter) about "couples after Comiket" unexpectedly blew up, sparking tons of laughs and relatable moments.
It all started when one user shared a rumor: a couple, after surviving Comiket, decided to book a hotel room together. You'd expect some romantic sparks or maybe even a little action, right? Nope. They were both so utterly exhausted that they did absolutely nothing, instead sleeping soundly until checkout time, only to wake up in a panic and rush home separately.
This post quickly went viral, with netizens unanimously agreeing that this scenario was totally unsurprising. "That's literally the only thing that happens after Comiket!" one user quipped. Another joked, "With a bed right there, it'd be weirder NOT to sleep." Others chimed in, "After running around at an event, who has time for romance? Sleep first!" and "A one-night stand? Nah, a one-night sleep."
Many fellow doujin enthusiasts jumped in to share their own experiences, calling it the "inevitable outcome after battle":
"All my stamina is gone; who has energy for 3D stuff?" "I heard about a couple who stayed in a hotel together, but they just ended up looking at their haul until dawn." "I once stayed in a hotel for three days, and neither of us had any desire to do anything."
Beyond the laughter, some users found the situation surprisingly sweet. "Being able to sleep peacefully next to each other when you're that tired? That's happiness right there," one commented. "This is truly the ideal relationship," another added. "This is sweeter than anything!" Single users couldn't help but chime in with longing: "I want this so bad!" and "This is the ultimate flex – my heart just exploded!"
Having a shared passion and attending events together is definitely the best kind of relationship, and we bet many readers are totally dreaming of a situation like this, too!
