Comic Party

Comic Party (1999), sometimes abbreviated ComiPa, is a ren'ai game by the Japanese game studio Leaf. The main focus of the game is the creation of various doujinshi by the player's character, during which there are varied opportunities to interact with a cast of girls.
Comic Party is inspired from the real world event of Comiket (Comic Market) held in Tokyo each summer and winter. This is a convention where various artists gather together to share both parody, homage, and original work.
Comic Party has spawned both a manga (illustrated by Inui Sekihiko) and an anime series since its inception, as well as a Dreamcast version of the original PC game which added a new character (Subaru) and removed the pornographic elements (reverse-ported to Windows, that version is called "Comic Party DCE"). Many artbooks, figures, and fan-made homages have been produced for it.
The anime series is licensed in North America by Right Stuf International (http://www.rightstuf.com/) and the manga is licensed by TokyoPop. There is also an unrelated manga published by CPM under the title "Comic Party", which is a series of doujinshi anthologies featuring stories by independent manga-ka set in the Comic Party universe.
A more recent anime series, Comic Party Revolution, came out in 2003. It is available through fansubs.
