It’s that time of the year again, where nerds in Japan decide that spending time with family or romancing a love interest are less important activities than attending the largest doujin event of the year. It’s Winter Comiket #77 this year (though keep in mind they have them twice a year with the other being in the summer), and if you’re like me you’re thinking, “Where can I get some Ogiue stuff?”
Though I won’t be able to attend, I have looked through the catalog. As far as I can tell there are only two doujin circles presenting anything this year Ogi-related. That might not seem like a lot, but given that Ogiue was never TOO popular a character, it’s good to see people fighting the good fight. Better yet, they’re artists I’m familiar with already.
Royal Crown will be there Tuesday, 12/29 (i.e. the first day of Comiket), at 東 フ゜−01b. That’s katakana East “Pu,” Zero One B.
Anri Works appears to have been unable to get a booth this year, but is looking to entrust someone with his doujinshi. If you’re there keep an eye out. He’s good people.
To my Japanese Ogiue comrades, I salute you.
UPDATE: ANOTHER OGIUE CIRCLE FOUND:
The group is called Kannazuki and will be there Tuesday at East Katakana Pu 2A. The name of their book is “All that’s Ogiue-san” so you know they’re good.

Can’t lie, I’m a little surprised that any Ougie stuff is still being sold.

Not quite related to C77, but a special bonus chapter of Genshiken was released to celebrate the complete DVD box set of the Genshiken anime. It’s mostly about Ogiue finding and welcoming the new arrivals to Genshiken in her first presidency, but it also features the other characters as well (including Sue pulling an obviously premeditated Mayoi impression). Thought you’d like to know. You can find it here:

Oh my goodness this is amazing. Thank you for making me aware of it, as it somehow slipped under my Ogiue radar. Is this from an issue of Afternoon?
