The purchase price of a single Hololive tapestry is 2,750 yen (US$23.90), but a 400-mililiter (13.5-ounce) blood donation gets you three posters, so we could say the value of the blood donation is 8,250 yen, or 20.625 yen per milliliter. Incidentally, this also lets us make a rough estimate of the value of otaku blood. However, the poster giveaway will be running from December 30 all the way to January 31 at Red Cross blood donation centers across Japan, so even otaku who aren’t attending Comiket can still contribute/profit from the campaign.Īlternatively, those who want to pitch in but are unable or unwilling to give blood can also give money, as the Hololive-design can be purchased outright as a tapestry online here, with profits being donated to the Red Cross. …one for the Hololive Gamers virtual YouTuber quartet…Ī blood donation center will be set up in front of the Panasonic Center building, which is located just a short walk from the Tokyo Big Sight convention center where Comiket will be held. This year’s donors will receive a set of three, one for Cardfight Vanguard Overdress… As in years past, those willing to donate blood will be rewarded with anime/game character art posters. With two years of pent-up demand, you can expect otaku cash to be flowing within the vendor halls, and Comiket’s organizers are also hoping that otaku blood will be flowing with the return of its cooperative blood drive with the Red Cross.

Fingers crossed, though, this month will mark the return of Japan’s largest doujinshi (self-published manga) event, as Comiket 99 is scheduled to take place on December 30 and 31. It’s been two years since the last Comiket, which is ordinarily a twice-a-year-event but has been on hiatus since December of 2019 due to repeated coronavirus-related cancellations and postponements. Donors get three posters this year, which helps us estimate the value of otaku blood.
