Japan's biggest doujinshi extravaganza, Comic Market (Comiket, C107), just wrapped its 50th anniversary bash on December 30-31, pulling in absolutely massive crowds!
But here's the kicker: eagle-eyed attendees at this year's 50th-anniversary event noticed something wild. The entry bracelets handed out for the two-day, split-session event *perfectly* matched the signature colors of the four members of the iconic Kessoku Band from the hit anime "Bocchi the Rock!" Naturally, this 'coincidence' blew up on X, eventually snagging a response from the Comiket organizing committee itself.
One X user dropped the bombshell, exclaiming they'd *just* realized the C107 entry bracelets were totally "Kessoku Band" colors! "Was this on purpose, organizers?!" they wondered.
And seriously, the color breakdown is spot-on: pink for Hitori Gotoh (Bocchi), blue for Ryo Yamada, yellow for Nijika Ijichi, and red for Ikuyo Kita. Each color perfectly assigned to a different bracelet for the two-day, split-session event. Come on, Comiket, are you *really* telling us this wasn't intentional?
Of course, a color scheme this perfect *screams* intentional design, though honestly, most folks probably didn't even catch on.
Once the buzz started, the official Comiket Preparatory Committee's X account chimed in, retweeting the post and offering a response. The official design lead declared: "It's a total coincidence, honest! Though, full disclosure, I'm a huge PA-san stan." So, is it *really* just a coincidence? We'll let you be the judge of that!
