Comike 2009 Summer: Recommended? Spots in Akihabara
Big doujin festival held 2 times in a year, Comic Market was held from August 14th-16th. During Comike, many people stop at Akihabara after Comike. So, I selected recommended places for people who come to Akihabara after a while- Let me call this "recommended? Spots in Akihabara 2009 Summer ver." KKS.jp-san also introduced recommended? spots.
As usual, in "'recommended?' Spots in Akihabara for people who come to Akihabara after a long time" excluded doujin shops and included recommended stores in a "different meaning from the primal meaning" like I wrote in "recommended 10 spots in Akihabara" for Summer Comike & Winter Comike in 2005, Summer Comike & Winter Comike in 2006, Summer Comike & Winter Comike in 2007, and " 10 Recommended (?) Stores for People who Visit Tokyo for Comike Summer 2008."
