C95

C95 commonly denotes the 95th edition of Comic Market, known as Comiket, a major doujinshi fair held in Tokyo, Japan. Comiket is a biannual event traditionally staged at Tokyo Big Sight and attracts large crowds of visitors and participants. The term C95 is part of a numbering scheme used by the event, with each edition assigned a “C” followed by a sequential number. The convention is a focal point for fans of manga, anime, and related media, and it functions as a marketplace for self-published works created by independent circles.

At Comiket, thousands of circles set up booths to sell or promote self-published works, including doujinshi, fan magazines, music, games, and related merchandise. The event is also known for cosplay displays and for announcements of new projects or collaborations by hobbyist creators. While attendance can run into the hundreds of thousands across a two- or three-day schedule, the experience emphasizes a dense, crowded market atmosphere and a long-standing culture of fan-produced content rather than mainstream publishing.

The C-number designation is a distinctive aspect of doujin culture, serving as a shorthand way to reference a particular edition of Comiket and to catalog releases corresponding to that event. Because the numbering changes with each edition, C95 identifies a specific year and cycle within the broader history of Comiket.

In other contexts, C95 may be used as an unrelated code or designation, but in popular usage it most often refers to the 95th Comic Market.
