DoKomi 2026 Artist haul @kiyumiyu.bsky.social detail One of my absolute must-go-to-booths will always be KiyuMiyu‘s. I LOVE her art and her boys so dearly and I was thrilled to get the actual last shirt on saturday, after it was seemingly already sold out on friday. Like it was simply destiny 🥹❤️🍀

DoKomi 2026 Artist haul @refrainbow.bsky.social detail For the 3rd year in a row I had to stop by Ray‘s booth to get some new loot. It was my 2nd booth on Friday and the queue was so long 😂 I even got a freebie 🌶️ sticker of nerd ❤️ Thanks for the surprise ❤️

DoKomi 2026 Artist haul @vvbgcomics.bsky.social detail When passing by VVBG‘s booth, one print instantly got me hooked. Since I try to stay modest with the prints I frame in my office, and the space is already limited enough, I was struggling to let it go - but here we go. +1 stunning 🌶️ A3 print

DoKomi 2026 Artist haul @eddiedwart.bsky.social detail ED‘s booth already caught my eye last year and this time it took me a whole day to decide which print to get, for there were so many good ones. Since half my office is painted w/ blue glitter, I figured this one would look extra stunning on it ❤️

DoKomi 2026 Artist haul @asurocks.bsky.social detail I don’t even remember how long I’ve been following Asu’s artwork online, but it might already be 20 years 👵🏻 I really like her kind of art, but the cats just spoke to me on a different level 😂 Still funny to buy non🌶️ stuff in the 🌶️ area 😂❤️

DoKomi 2026 Artist haul @kasutama.bsky.social detail I‘ve known „Love Melodies“ for a lot of years, even before appearing on Webtoon, and I finally got to catch up right before DoKomi. So I‘m very happy to get the 🌶️ art compilation to the manga. I actually didn’t plant to, but I couldn’t resist 😮‍💨

DoKomi 2026 Artist haul @juiart.bsky.social detail Though I was happy to get the Frat Box, my highlight might be the Mini-Standee w/ shy naked Andrew 😂❤️ Jui was my first stop on Fr after the opening, and the queue was already crazy long. But I‘m happy for her that she sold out so much stuff till Su

First time Aikon Bonn was as unprepared as it was short for me 🥲 Due to renovations at home I only had an hour to spare at the con. Nevertheless I got two postcards, a manga and some drinks, so you can say I made the best out of it 😂 I hope next year will be longer and with more company ❤️

Welcome to Madness. The reason why it’s so quiet around my account is that I’m currently busy renovating our newly bought house 🩵

#DoKomi 2025 haul pt6 - Publisher #Altraverse s booth was the most memorizable one imo, since it looked like a closed shop within the expo hall.

#DoKomi 2025 haul pt4 - Publisher #Tokyopop and #Crunchyroll were already on my list to get stuff from, but #Yomeru was a lucky coincidence. The guy at the booth was so good at selling #FakeFactLips, that I had no other choice than to buy this volume 😂😂❤️
