>>What is your experience with Japanese doujinshi events?
I participated in an anthology event with a friend (not actual attendance, just the submitting manuscript part) and she told me that printing costs are pretty high overall and that sometimes people with very differing ships get placed very far from another which is pretty funny.
Small niches often don't get to have events and it sucks because whenever Akaboo holds one of those tweets that are "the most amount of likes will get considered for an event" usually big fanartists for big franchises like JJK are the ones that end up winning

We already have a similar thread. I won't repost everything Ii said there because that would be too long and it would take too much time because of the 5 minutes delay between posts so here's my experience from last year: https://fujochan.org/bl/res/3330.html#q3500

tldr; I went to an akaboo event at the end of June during my trip called June Bride Fes, I only bought satosugu doujinshi because other pairings I like are too niche and didn't have artists/doujinshi there or because I didn't like the doujinshi sold there. I also bought some doujinshi in Mandarake in Ikebukuro and Akihabara. The event didn't last for a very long time, you have to be as strategic as possible if you're interested in a lot of different artists, the venue is pretty big and there's some schizo every year according to Japanese twitter users who screams very loudly and look up skirts and dresses so be careful. I heard her from far away at some point but didn't see her so I was wondering if I was imagining things until I saw a bunch of women saying she needs to be banned once and for all. Take snacks, a bottle of water and a large and empty tote bag with you to avoid buying things right there. Download a map of the venue with information on circles and fandoms in advance to make sure you know where to go first. And don't cosplay, it's only allowed in specific circumstances (you usually have to pay a specific type of ticket if you're a visitor or you're only allowed to if you sell there) unlike western events where you can wear your cosplay from home to the venue and a lot of people wear their costumes in public transport or in their car.

Please no spoilers here, I'd like to play the game later.

I have no idea how these votes work at all.

There are different options.
One, is this type https://x.com/AKABOO_OFFICIAL/status/1895776106386538505
Akaboo will occasionally mention that if you tweet using #ひらいて赤ブー hashtag (sometimes #開いて赤ブー) they will decide what gets a ship event depending on the number of retweets/likes. Doesn't have to be a "ship" event necessarily, just as long as it looks like something people would want.
That's why you'll sometimes see artists tweet about something with series name and ship name censored (to avoid copyright issues I presume).
The second option, there was an explanation here >>3780
Which is basically gaining tickets by submitting doujinshi. A doujin artist that constantly puts up 5 books per event needs to print their books on an approved printing service that can grant akaboo tickets, sometimes people of the same circles can gather together to vote for the same series/pair if they all consistently release doujinshi themselves.
