With hundreds of banners and posters already set up, everyone’s pitching in to help with the biggest anime convention in the world.

Summer Comiket is coming, promising a wealth of unique anime and manga goods found nowhere else. Visitors from all over will flock to Tokyo Big Sight, hoping to catch a glimpse of the world’s largest anime convention.

And as 10 August approaches, even the nearby train station begins taking on an anime hue. Numerous posters and banners featuring the latest anime transform the otherwise dull interior into a trippy anime tunnel.

▼ Kokusai Tenjijo Seimon Station may be empty for now,
but it’ll be teeming with attendees soon.

It appears the Summer Comiket experience begins the moment we step out of the train and into the station, promising an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime. Remember to drink plenty of fluids and wear appropriate clothing though, as this summer’s Comiket will be one of the hottest in recent years.
