Comic Market 96 has begun and as always, everyone wants to know how bad the mad rush will be on day 1, as we have seen videos in the past of hoards of people running to get in quickly and be the first people in line.
For those who never saw the mad rush… Here is a video from last year’s Comic Market 95:

But fortunately, so far, things have been going just fine according to people who recorded the opening gates and posted it on SNS. Partly because this year’s event is taking place in different locations.
