Last weekend (12th and 13th), the new edition of the Comiket Bocchi the Rock was launched . The book, titled " FROG SKETCH ", contains a series of illustrations and sketches made by Rikuta Kiyoki , the anime's character designer and animation director. So the event brought together a huge line of fans, who wanted to buy the book, but some people took advantage of the situation to make money.

During the event, hundreds of fans came to the venue, hoping to get a copy of Rikuta Kiyoki's book. Eventually, the artist's booth gathered such a huge queue that it became a trend on social media.
One person drew the size and shape of the queue on a map of the venue to see how much space the crowd covered. According to the design, the queue started in the parking lot and on the terrace until it reached the point of sale.
The limited edition of the book cost 5,000 yen (R$174.22), which is an affordable price for many Japanese people. However, some people bought the book just to resell it for an average of 30,000 yen (R$1,024.49). Reports say that only one copy was sold per person, but that didn't stop them from reselling it to make a bigger profit.
Synopsis:
The story revolves around Hitori Goto, nicknamed “Bocchi-chan”, a lonely high school girl who loves playing the guitar and spends her days playing alone at home. However, she joins the “Kessoku Band” led by her drummer Nijika Ijichi. She's not used to playing in front of people, so is Bocchi capable of becoming the band's guitarist?
