Where to Enjoy Manga in Tokyo, Japan

A cafe dedicated to all the manga lovers

Manga Kissa, or manga cafes, can be found all over Tokyo. It is the ultimate pastime. For only about 300 yen an hour, you can get free drinks, read as many manga as you want, use the internet, watch movies, and even take showers! When you use a manga kissa, you are assigned a cubicle with a T.V and a computer. You can borrow DVDs, manga, and magazines and bring it to your cubicle. It is usually a very quiet environment, good even for a nap and people use it even as an alternative to a hotel. Whenever you have some extra time in Tokyo, try stepping into a Manga kissa!
