Animanga/Anime| Information

(1999), sometimes abbreviated '''ComiPa''', is a
Visual Novel by the Japanese game studio
Leaf . The main focus of the game is the creation of various
Doujinshi by the player's character, during which there are varied opportunities to interact with a cast of girls. This is known commonly as a
Girl-get Game .
Comic Party is inspired from the real world event of
Comiket (Comic Market) held in
Tokyo each summer and winter. This is a convention where various artists gather together to share both parody, homage, and original work.
Comic Party has spawned both a
Manga (illustrated by
Inui Sekihiko ) and an
Anime series since its inception, as well as a
Dreamcast version of the original PC game which added a new character (Subaru) and removed the pornographic elements (reverse-ported to Windows, that version is called "Comic Party DCE"). Many artbooks, figures, and fan-made homages have been produced for it.
The anime series is licensed in
North America by
Right Stuf International and the manga is licensed by
TOKYOPOP . There is also a related manga published by
CPM under the title "Comic Party", which is a series of doujinshi anthologies featuring stories by independent
Manga-ka set in the Comic Party universe.
A more recent anime series, Comic Party Revolution, came out in 2003. It is available through fansubs.
The game was ported to the
PSP as ''Comic Party Portable'' in
December 29 ,
2005 . Promotional videos show that the ''Comic Party Revolution'' character designs are used, rather than the original designs from the PC and Dreamcast games and the first anime series.
