■Reach your fans!
Web novel writers and illustrators. I think you usually work online and enjoy interacting with your fans. However, the truth is that among your fans, there are actually more who don't want to interact with you directly and just watch over you quietly than there are fans who interact with you. Fans you don't know about, who quietly watch over you and love your work. Why not reach out to such fans? Based on population ratio, 30 to 40 percent of your fans live in the Kanto region, centered around Tokyo. The Literary Event Tokyo is an event that will reach out to your fans in the Kanto region.
Now that the COVID-19 pandemic is over, domestic tourist destinations and events are booming. While your fans usually quietly watch over you, they would be happy if they had the opportunity to get their hands on your book. This event will allow you to reach fans you don't know yet.
