"A square that only otaku will understand" T-shirt
A shirt that can be used to judge in one second whether or not someone is a "comrade in arms"

As some of you may already know, the shirt is modeled after the template for dōjinshi sellers' ads in Comic Market's catalog, which has since spread to many other dōjinshi events. Comic Market, or Comiket, is the world's largest dōjinshi fair, and is held twice a year in Tokyo in summer and winter. Comiket 92 was held from August 11-13, and Comiket 93 is planned for December 29-31 at the Tokyo Big Sight.

The shirt can be purchased on the T-shirt printing site T-shirts Trinity for 2,980 yen (about US$27) with tax included.
