5. Take Part in the Ongoing Kami-Con Story

Kami-Con is definitely not your average comic convention. Since the very first Kami-Con in 2009, organizers have put their heart & souls into creating an interactive comic storyline at the convention! Each year, con-goers get to interact with (and ultimately affect the outcome) of the story, which is organized by Seasons—just like a comic series!

The Kami-Con storyline follows two sisters—Shio-chan and Kosho-chan—as they run each year’s Con. Along the way, the duo meet new friends, battle enemies and have fun. Last season, the sisters accidentally crashed their spaceship into a mysterious beach planet. Who knows what this season will bring?
