Comiket Day Two: The Hottening

[wednesday_10_00]

As we prepared to enter the final hallway into the East Hall today, I heard the following conversation behind me:

Guy 1: Oh, crap.
Guy 2: What?
Guy 1: It's the final torture.

He wasn't kidding. It was unbelievably hot and crowded and the line barely crawled forward--and this is in comparison to the painfully hot and crowded line we'd been in for the last two and a half hours. I suppose, technically, the final torture was the train ride home, but at least that was air-conditioned. This is far from my first Comiket, but I seriously can't believe how crowded it was today. If tomorrow is this bad, I may throw myself into Tokyo Bay before I even buy anything.

ETA - Line of Doom:


(That multi-colored blur way up towards the horizon? Yeah, still the line.)
