HiClub Co., Ltd., headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, and led by president Yu Furuya, has announced its participation at Comic Market 105 (C105), set for December 29 and 30, 2024. The popular social networking service, GRAVITY, will send its official character, Gurachan, to attend during this significant event.
With over 6.5 million downloads, GRAVITY aims to spread awareness through creative promotional activities. Gurachan is gearing up for engagement on platforms such as TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), leveraging these channels to interact and inform attendees.
Continuing the playful tone from previous events, president Yu Furuya noted, "It's okay to bring Menchiniki, but we must avoid getting banned again like so many times before.” The infamous Menchiniki, recognized for causing stir due to being banned from multiple companies, is set to join Gurachan at C105, where he will also don his own costume.
At the last summer event, Comic Market 104 (C104), Gurachan expressed the desire to participate more actively, stating, "I'm lonely going alone. I want to bring friends along this time." This humorously reflects the character's charm and engagement with fans.
Fans are encouraged to snap photos with Gurachan during the event and share them on social media platforms. Gurachan cheerfully remarked, "It's exciting! I hope everyone takes pictures when they see me!" This reflects the character's enthusiasm and eagerness for fan interaction.
GRAVITY is described as the 'next-generation social network' where users can connect through 'Voice Rooms' and join communities based on shared hobbies and interests. Its unique personality assessment feature also helps users connect with like-minded individuals, maintaining high levels of anonymity.
The presence of Gurachan alongside the infamous Menchiniki injects fun dynamics for attendees at C105, promising interactions filled with humor and spontaneity. With the winter comic market drawing near, fans have high expectations for entertaining appearances and memorable moments.
With media accessibility for any interested parties, GRAVITY encourages registrations for exclusive information about upcoming events, press conferences, and contact details for the event staff.
Overall, the enthusiasm building around GRAVITY's participation at Comic Market 105 is palpable, especially as the event presents opportunities for networking, fandom, and celebration of comic culture.
