The Japanese Comic Market, or "Comiket" for short, is a biannual market held to promote and sell self-published (Doujinshi) works and arts. In December 2019 however, Identity V officially participated in Comiket #97 (C97) with their own booth and merchandise being sold. In preparation for the event, Identity V even created a webpage[1] which contained more detailed information for those interested in visiting their booth. During this event, Identity V official illustrators also showed off their design and art process live.

Trivia[]
- Some of the Winter Fashion designs can still be purchased, such as in official Gachapon orbs[5]
- Though not initially sold during this Comiket, an official Winter Fashion design for Joseph Desaulniers (Photographer) exists, and is part of the spin-off merchandise.
- Interestingly, all of the Winter Fashion designs for survivors have them wearing glasses.
- On the C100 website, there is a booth map. For some reason, Little Girl is low quality compared to the map itself.
- For C100, at the booth & on the website there was a contest of who the best dressed was. Photographer got first place while Patient got last.
