Yesterday we shared the story of a Japanese mother who begged Comic Market (“Comiket”) attendees through Twitter to exercise a little more responsibility when hauling erotically-designed bags through the crowded Tokyo stations on the way home.

Word of the troubled mother’s plea quickly spread across the net and many people responded by saying they will make sure to transfer their goods into less conspicuous bags before leaving to convention.

The train pulls into the platform and you line up to board, but when the doors open you can only stand there in shock as a crowd of people leisurely walk out holding giant bags covered in pictures of naked anime girls in lewd positions.

Because this is, apparently, what actually has been happening at Comiket, according to a series of tweets by a Japanese mother begging participants to exercise a little more discretion.
