The Watch: Comic Market 77 (Part 4)
In this last Comiket 77 watch post, I will start with a few lesser-known artists, before going on to some of the regular artists who would usually be featured quite early in my watch list. These have of course been pushed to the end of the my bookmarks due to their information being quite late in coming. Comiket has already finished its first day, and will be starting its second day in mere hours! Some of the artists covered in this post are indeed attending the second day, so that makes it quite timely reading. In any case, some big names this time round, but also some new artist discoveries which I hope you will pick up on.
31 December
Re*2 Live is a collaboration publication between a heap of different artists, themed for ReLive. 60 page, likely not full colour.
Check site for full list of artists.
This artist seems to be a musician as well, with a new disc called none being sold by the Iemitsu stand on the second day.
30 December
stellae navis is a full-colour illustration book of 16 pages.
To be resold is a previous 12 page full colour illustration book.
31 December
Collection:R is a 12 page full-colour book.
Other stuff are just republished books, as well as stick poster of the cover of Collection:R, free postcards, etc.
Is also participating in the ChuChu Kiss Me! Hug Me! project, which seems to be another big-scale one with lots of illustrators, as well as music arrangements and short story things.
31 December
One of the “big names” who left their information very late.
Limited distribution freebie is something called a メールシャット. I have no idea what it is, but it has Miku on it and is the size of a business card.
New doujin is called Toaru Fuuki Iin no Kansatsu Nikki, a 3koma manga and illustration book. Contains both black and white and colour illustrations, no other information.
Goods set is Vocaloid themed, with a big bag, blanket, DSi protection seal, LCD wipe.
A separate piece of merchandise is a pouch for mobile phones and such, themed for Railgun.
Also, there is a Misaka mouse pad with “special” wrist rest *wink wink*.
30 December
Another artist who left things really late, due to some dentist trouble and plane trouble, or something.
BUT! We have a new book, with Petite fatal 3rd. Following on from previous Petite fatal instalments, this will probably be a full colour. It will be sold by MONOMIND along with a new CD.
31 December
Another kinda popular watch artist who left things late. The Macarons Color 5 picture was up early but no information was forthcoming until recently.
Two new books, plus a goods set with a bag, shiny post card, and holographic shitajiki.
Macarons Color 5 is a full colour book, following in the very excellent Macarons Color series of books.
Alice Mode2 is monochrome.
31 December
This artist put the information on the Circle page, but not on the blog.
New book is a monochrome manga type with a Christmas theme. What interests me more is a 2010 calendar with 12 colour pages.
31 December
Four new books, but all 18+, no full colours!
EX-girlfriends is like a K-On!, Love Plus, Nanoha and Code Geass mashup type thing?
Shiro to Kuro 3 is a nekomimi manga. Shiro to Kuro 3.5 is a 40 page side story for Shiro to Kuro 3.
Participating in Emonogatari which is an 18+ Bakemonogatari fanbook featuring four artists. 68 pages, has some illustrations by another six artist, probably not much in colour.
There is also a paper bag and assorted goods.
30 December
I thought this artist died. As always, there is a collaboration with CHRONOLOG (Sakurazawa Izumi).
Mawarimichi is a B5 size, 120 page book, with 32 pages of full colour and monochrome 86 pages. It is a Fururi-only book, apparently, possibly summarising the stuff from 2009.
Yumemi Shoujo no Yumeura is another Fururi-exclusive book, 20 pages, full colour!
So it looks like a compilation book, then a new full colour book. Our waiting was not in vain.
Of course Chronolog and Fururi share a stall, so I’ll just cover what Chronolog is doing prior to seeing what the collaboration will bring out this time.
So Sweet is an 18+ book, 36 pages.
Sakura-rou- is an all-ages doujin. Not full colour.
Combination goods
A Touhou stick poster calendar, seven pieces.
The goods set is an option of a black or white tote bag, plus an 18+ dakimakura cover.
30 December
Happiness2 is a 32 page all-colour illustration book.
Tojiru Tojiru Hitomi is a 36 pager, and if I read it correctly, at last some of the pages (if not all) are colour. Includes guest illustrations.
Pastel14a is a 12 page book containing rough versions of colour illustrations used for goods.
The first set concludes with a Marisa paper bag.
Not included in the set is a 2010 desktop calendar with 12 pages, and a small drinking glass.
31 December
Late update, but some pretty good stuff in here.
Walking of the PLANET is a 28 page full-colour manga about an apprentice angel girl.
Galette Des Rois CALENDAR 2010 is a CD-size calendar.
Shooting Star – BRS Fan Book is an 8 pager full colour, totally about BRS.
Four-postcard set.
Omake is Galette Des Rois gum.
31 December
Original illustration book Flower Tiara 2 looks like it is a risque publication, full colour.
Art Mix seems to be a compilation of 2009 illustrations. Possibly going to be seriously awesome if you haven’t been diligently collecting this artist’s stuff.
There is also a telephone card with mounting board, as well as 18+ stick posters.
Is also illustrator for the Nanagane Gakuen game.
31 December
Ben’s Works: CROQUIS is a book which collects a number of rough illustrations. Part of it may be in colour. 28 pages.
This artist says he was planning another book (and probably something more substantial than a rough collection) but didn’t have time.
31 December
Goods include ecchi mouse pad, 2010 calendar shitajiki with Rankan on it, a folder and key holders.
But what should interest more people is Suzu:can Vol.17, which contains art from Railgun, Bakemonogatari, originals, etc. Unknown page count, but high likelihood to be full colour.
31 December
This artist used to go under the name FojyHEADZ and was related via some projects to YukiUsagi.
New book is Encyclopedia uniform, a follow up to the previous one which covered the Tokyo region. This new one covers the Kanto region. Colour within (though has text and monochrome too), 36 pages.
Goods include seifuku microfibre towel and bag.
31 December
Crosslight, a Megpoid fanbook, full colour, 28 pages, A4 size. Can be bundled with a collaboration CD (music CD, I think).
30 December (maybe)
Touhou Omoka is a full colour 32 page book.
Goods: A6 size mini calendar of 28 pages, and a paper folder.
31 December (probably)
New colour book comes in set, no title given. Set also includes another book, but that’s an 18+, probably monochrome, a 2010 calendar (looks like desktop type), telephone card with backing board, and bag.
If you are really excited you can get a B2 size tapestry for 3000 yen too.
29 December
31 December
New book Kinkatou is a 40 page full colour illustration book. Seems to be a year compilation type publication.
31 December
Two new books: Sweet Impact: CUTEG’s girl’s collection 1.0 and White world + Strawberry pink.
Illustration books with themes on pantsu and glasses respectively. No information on colour and page counts.
Apologies:
These artists do not have their own releases. They are collaborating in such a way that I find it hard to give them any coverage at all.

And there ends our Comiket 77 watch list! As you know, Toranoana and Melonbooks closed their preorders already (I got my last Toranoana order cut down in mid-flight, regretfully). Good luck to everyone wanting to get stuff on auctions!
