Perverted Convention

Yes, I went. It was great. There was a second convention right next door that we didn't know about beforehand. It was a doujinshi (fanmade manga) convention populated mostly by women. The perverted one was mostly populated by men. It made for an interesting day, since the three of us went to both, and there was two girls and one guy in our group.

We had planned to attend the perverted one. So I'll describe it first, though we went to it second (the other started first). There was a total of three non-cosplaying girls that we saw there at first. This is not including ourselves (I was highly tempted to cosplay, honestly). I have so many fliers that cannot be shown to children's eyes, and my friends actually got mad at me because I kept getting more flyers, and they weren't. We had to retrace our steps more than once so they could get the fliers I'd quietly plucked from an advertisers hands. It was funny, to say the least, because they kept exclaiming about how "We're walking together, so how did you end up with so much other stuff?" I just shrugged and told them they weren't paying attention properly.
There were naked anime girls painted onto cars, shirts, cups, fans, and various other things. There was a body pillow cover with a naked anime girl, and then the clothed version on the other side. There were so many random breasts popping out I started to look around for a real girl to pop one out. (I'll get to the cosplaying females in a minute)
There were tons of new games and advertisements for games being presented, and a lot of lines had more than 30 people in them waiting to buy a game. I couldn't believe it. There was also a video game that you were allowed to play if you would wait in line, so V-chan and I waited in line and got to play it for free. Like her name suggests, she kicked my ass. That's what I get for picking archery-based characters. >P
Cosplaying girls: They only really emerged near the end, but they were in a corner, and their costumes were less of a cosplay so much as they were an otaku's wet dreams. And if you stood in line, you could take pictures of them. I saw a maid, a ninja, Neon Genesis Evangelion, a playboy bunny, among others. These are separate from the cosplayers that were selling merchandise as a marketing maneuver. It was fun, overall.

The Girls' Side:
We went there first, and R-kun felt incredibly left out, since we were checking out boy on boy, and various manga that he had little interest in. He was also the only guy actually walking through the isles, instead of standing back and watching their partners dive in. The good ones sold out so fast!! We found all sorts of things, and it really reminded me of Animazement in alot of ways. So it was a little nostalgic.
Now here there was a ton of Cosplayers, and it all seemed to be ninja themed. I mean it. If it wasn't ninja, 90% was Gintama, and outside of that ....well, there were a few outliers, I'll just say that. It was really cool, honestly, despite the overwhelming numbers of people in the same room.

It was actually my first time to use my Alien Registration card as an age identifier. I had to use it for both, so I applaud their discretion.
It was also the first time I went on a bridge in a skirt and had my skirt decide to decorate my hips instead of my thighs in front of a crowd of guys while I was carrying perverted posters. I, like any girl, dropped all my posters on the floor, and crouched to hide my shorts/panties from being seen. None of the guys helped pick anything up, and I actually hopped around trying to grab the tentacle sex one before anyone saw it. Then a poor girl and her friend helped me pick up a few close to me while my friends gathered the ones the wind was playing with. You should have seen the look on her face. She was so embarrassed, and she was holding a more subdued one. My friends had a ball comparing that to manga and anime, and exclaiming about how they never expected to see that actually happen in real life. I laughed so hard I teared up. I couldn't believe it happened either. I knew this skirt was cursed.
They then actually held my stuff when we returned from having lunch (we had to cross the bridge again) and I held my skirt tight in both hands to keep it from showing anything. V-chan kept an eye on my skirt the rest of the day, and more than once ended up resting her hand on my thigh to keep it from flying up. When I snagged an ice cream on the way back to the train station, I had to choose between my ice cream and my modesty. Yes, ice cream won. Yes, V-chan and R-kun ended up shielding me from the wind and prying eyes. ...As much as possible. I didn't care, I had ice cream and shorts on underneath. The fact that my shorts were skin-colored? Didn't matter :D

And this was a quick peek into my Sunday~! I'm a good girl! I blogged! Praise me! Yay!!

Ha. Sounds like you had fun. I still don't quite understand how the wind could lift your skirt up unless it was loose and really light weight.

It's a loose, lightweight skirt, just like you're imagining. And the wind was mega strong because a typhoon was close by.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting this!
