Comiket 99 (Comic Market 99) has been canceled.

It was announced on the official SNS of Comic Market that Comiket 99 will not be held due to the postponement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic games.  The use of the venue Tokyo Big Sight will continue to be restricted and the organizers are complying with guidelines to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus infection.

Organizers said they will focus on GW 2021 (Golden Week 2021) and more details will be announced in the fall.

Back in March, it was announced that Comiket 98 (Summer Comic Market) was canceled to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
