I quite love my collection! It's fairly hard to acquire any doujinshi outside of Japan. Now my collection's not growing at all. :'(
Comiket is three days long. They have a catalog for sale a few weeks before the event. If you check out the catalog, you can figure out what series will be at each section. Even though I made notes about specific circles I wanted to visit, I actually ended up buying a lot of doujinshi from random circles that did doujinshi for series I liked. All the circles for the same series are generally together in the same section. Day 1 has a lot of Shounen titles (and shoujo, I think). Day 2 has a lot of game titles. Day three has more adult (like hentai and such). I'm not too sure how they're split up, but I just checked to see which days would have the series I liked. :3
Outside of the convention, there's doujinshi in Animate stores, Mandarake, and some other bookstores. If you visit Ikebukuro, they have lots of doujinshi shops closely together. The main Animate store is there. It's 8 stories tall. I found Nakano to have a large collection too. Mandarake's main store is there.
Was that how much I bought? XD; I stuffed all of them in a large duffel bag along with some clothes. I don't remember how heavy they were, but I do remember that the whole thing was well within the weight limit for luggage on flights. XD; So much less than 50 pounds. Maybe around...30 pounds? :'D It was really heavy to tote around though...since my duffel bag had no wheels. It was a pain to get onto the trains!
