TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Comic Frontier, or Comifuro 21, one of Indonesia’s largest gatherings for Japanese pop-culture enthusiasts, will take place on Saturday and Sunday, November 15–16, 2025, at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) BSD in Tangerang.
The biannual event is set to showcase hundreds of independent creator booths alongside a wide range of community-led activities.
Often described as a creative hub for independent artists, Comifuro features self-published works spanning illustrations, manga, novels, crafts, and other original creations.
According to Ticket2u, the event also includes a lively doujin market and an extensive lineup of programs, from cosplay parades and company showcases to musical performances and talk shows on the growth of the creative industry, particularly local comics and animation.
The doujin market consistently draws large crowds as creator circles present new works from various fandoms. Meanwhile, the main stage remains active with karaoke sessions, acoustic performances, anisong concerts, and appearances by virtual idols and DJs.
How to Get to Comic Frontier 21
Comifuro 21 will be held in Hall 10 of ICE BSD, which is accessible through several public transportation options. The most convenient route is via the KRL Commuter Line, with Cisauk Station as the final stop.
From there, visitors can take one of eight free shuttle buses operating from 07:00 to 21:30 WIB. The shuttle also transports attendees back to the Cisauk Intermoda Terminal.
Another option is the Transjakarta S11 Corridor (Jelambar–Serpong), with stops at BSD City—1.9 kilometers from ICE BSD—or Giant BSD, located 3.4 kilometers away. From these points, visitors can continue using ride-hailing services.
