About OppaICON

Through many conversations at numerous anime and comic conventions across the East Coast, a great number of artists want to showcase their work, and many fans are eager to see more NSFW art as well. Sadly, to experience this breadth of uncensored content, you typically have to travel to an ecchi or hentai con on the West Coast, and most people on the East Coast can’t afford that kind of cross-country trip. It’s long past time the East Coast had an event of its own to celebrate this community.

Also, many conventions recognize that fans want access to NSFW art and products, so they set up “After Dark” sections limited to a small number of artists and vendors and confined to specific timeframes.
