Ember, I think it's more of the latter... BTW the video can be seen here. And for those who watched the video and are wondering what the mother bought: booth "東A 54a" is Yun Kouga. Her website is here. She is the mangaka for Loveless. Her C70 releases are on this page. So yeah... yaoi.

God praise Japanese moms.

Saw this clip in YouTube this morning. From what I understand, this mom got lost in comiket, ended up going to the information booth. They showed the goods that she bought, I couldn’t make a sense out of things that she said though… but probably along the line of “that’s fine! my daughter reads yaoi!”

/agree with Os
And why are they only showing girls? And hot ones. Not that I’m complaining, not by a long stretch, but methinks that’s either totally mis-representative of the actually attendee demographic, or I have been horribly lied to about Japan and the female otaku population.

It’s not far fetched that moms would do stuff for their kids. But yeah, this is not day 3, so nothing to worry about.

“Bottom: A mother taking leave from work to buy things for her daughter who is having tuition.”

Hahaha, maybe that’s the Japanese version of my mother? ;P

They probably look like powered up otakus with yazuka suits.

Actually, most of the graphic shota is sold on day 3. Maybe that says something about its core consumers? … o_O
