---------------------------------------

Comic Market 49 took place on 12/29 and 12/30, 1995.  In general 12/29
had stuff aimed at girls (pretty boys and gays), and 12/30 had stuff
aimed at boys (pretty girls and ecchi stuff).  But the seiyuu stuff was
on 12/29.

My group (Kimagure Production) was in the East building on 12/30.

pre-comic market preparations
-----------------------------
Scanning through the comic market catalog..

On 12/30, the "A building" will be shounen original stories and some
other shounen miscellaneous stuff.  C-ARTS is in "katakana-O" 26 A.  C-
ARTS makes the very nice Aaa Megami-sama books.

The "West building" will have shoujo original stories and JUNE related
stuff.  You won't catch me near there.. (^_^;)

The "New building first floor" will have game related stuff and doujin
software.  Lots and lots and lots of ecchi looking things..

The "New building second floor" will have lots of stuff, that I'm not
particularly interested in. (^_^;)

The "B building" will have original stories aimed a "guys" and RPG
related stuff.  Ecchi Nakoruru, ecchi Cocoa, ecchi Sasami..

The "South building" will be Sailor Moon.  It's not that big a building.

The "East building" will have fighting games, non-fighting games, and
magical girls.  I'll be spending almost all of my time here.  Maybe I
won't leave this building at all. (^_^;;)

There seems to be a lot of Nakoruru stuff..  Also plenty of Chun Li,
Vampire Hunter, and such.  At least 20 or so groups have some Puyo Puyo
stuff.  Lots of cute Aruru and Carbunkle..  I wish they have some cute
Witch and Harpy.  Also there is Kirby, Doukyuusei, Twinbee, and Toki
Memo.  Lots of Toki Memo!

Finally in the magical girls section: Akazukin Chacha, Wedding Peach,
Nurse Angel Ririka, Tenchi Muyou, Mahoujin Guru Guru, UY/Ranma, Tenchi
Muyou, Sazan Eyes, Aa Megami-sama, Hime-chan no Ribbon, Minky Momo,
Creamy Mami, Pelsha, Sweet Mint, Humminbird, Compiler, Ryuu Knight,
Rayearth, Nurse Angel Ririka, Saint Tail, Silent Moebius..  [Not all of
these are "magical girls", but it's the closest genre for them to be put
in.]


post-comic market report
------------------------
I probably spent the least amount of money among my four times at comic
market.  I only got 55 books, 61 badges, 2 posters, 13 calendars, and 7
packets of stationary.  Maybe I'm becoming more picky.. or I was just
concentrating too hard on Saint Tail. (^_^;) Also I started looking too
late, so I missed out on all of the good Tokimeki Memorial books and
badges that I would have wanted.

I only looked through half of the "east" building.  It was too crowded
elsewhere and I was too tired..

There were a lot of calendars this time.  I hadn't noticed so many in
the past.  One of the calendars by TFC Kikaku was a A4 sized, glossy
color, 28 page beauty.  Each month had 2 pages (picture on one page,
calendar on the other page).  The pictures were of El Hazard, Bakuretsu
Hunter, Yuna, Tenchi Muyou, Megami Paradise, Aa Megami-sama, Vampire
Hunter, Ginrei, Sailor Moon, and others.  There were also colorful desk-
top calendars of Aa Megami-sama and Tenchi Muyou.  I also got a 4 page
color A4 sized calendar of Saint Tail.

The books that I got were mostly Saint Tail and Megami-sama.  Unfor-
tunately there were too many ecchi Saint Tail.. (;_;)
There were a lot of Tenchi and Chacha books but I didn't go for them
this time.

There was plenty of cosplay as usual.
