Comic Market 108 attracted about 260,000 attendees over two days in Tokyo, a decline of roughly 40,000 from the previous Comiket. The bi‑annual event, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025, has shown variation in attendance and space count throughout its history. Comiket 108 featured approximately 23,000 exhibiting spaces, about 700 fewer than the prior edition, and included 121 corporate exhibitors in the designated area. Daily attendance averaged around 130,000, down from roughly 150,000 at Comiket 107. Earlier editions have ranged from roughly 250,000 to 300,000 attendees, with the highest recorded figure of 750,000 at Comiket 97, which spanned four days. The event took place during the designated anniversary year marking Comiket's 50th edition, and the organizers have not announced plans to adjust attendance limits for future editions.
