The difference between Japanese otaku events is...
Comiket: An event that covers all works, including anime, manga, games, and original works.
Companies also participate, and the cosplay is always of high quality.

From amateurs to professionals, a wide range of people show off their work.
Design Festa:An event for original works only.
A design event, so it covers everything from illustrations to figures, accessories, and performances.
A variety of figures and goods are sold and exhibited by individuals and companies.
Since figures sold by individuals are generally intended to be assembled and painted by the user, many people sell them as "garage kits."
This organization holds many events in various regions outside of Tokyo.
They specialize in "only events" that specialize in specific genres or works.
Depending on the work, Akaboo events may attract more people than Comiket.
So they are often used by people who can't attend from further afield, or by people who want to host an event but don't have the budget to do so.
...When you think about it, Japan's otaku industry is really vibrant🙂
