The chapter opens with a discussion of the biggest comic book event in Japan, called Comiket. The narrator tells us that it's not really a big deal, but that Chiba wanted someone to stand at the booth and give them a different view of the event. She wants them to be able to talk to other people who are selling comics at the same time. She's also trying to get them to read her latest book, which is about a guy who's in love with another woman. She says that the next book she's going to read will be about a man who loves another woman, and that's why she'll be reading the next one.
