Stranded without a ride home in Tokyo? No problem, you can stay at a mankitsu. What’s that? Why, it’s a manga cafe, of course! You can read manga, play video games, watch Japanese anime and movies and get unlimited free soft drinks. There are massage chairs and showers! Premium listeners, don’t miss out on on the hilarious bonus track featuring 2 Japanese dialect accents: Ibaraki Dialect and Aomori Dialect! Our grammar point is an important one. We’ll look at how to use the Japanese suffix -nikui to change words into the meaning “it’s difficult to do…”

My favourite is “From Eroica with Love.”

maxiewawa says:

I have so many favourites, so many to choose from! JPod has asked this question before, and each time I have a different answer!

If I had to choose one it would have to be コナン名探偵. I’ve always loved CSI, and murder mystery shows, and being able to study Japanese while watching/reading a whodunnit mystery is cool!

But am I missing something? They can’t pay for a taxi so someone suggests spending the night at a manga place? They have beds there?

I haven’t read manga in a long time… and I mostly read mangas I knew as a child, that is mangas that were turned into the anime I saw on TV when I was 10 or so. So mostly oooooold mangas :oops:

My favourites are City Hunter and Sannen Kimengumi/High-school Kimengumi. :kokoro:

I also read Love Hina, and a few Death Notes.

@maxiewawa

I’m not sure about all manga stores, but I do know that a particular Manboo 24hr manga shop saved me from having to sleep in the train station all night.

On my way back from Osaka to Tokyo - the monsoon was too strong, so they stopped all the shinkansens - unfortunately, it seemed like everyone stopped in the same city - and after walking to every hotel and finding no rooms - a light from heaven beamed down (or perhaps it was a neon sign) on a Manboo.

They have little walled cubicles with padded mats to lay on, and you can rent a cubicle for all night relatively cheap (like 3000 yen!). Oh, and it comes with all the drinks you can drink + a load of Manga to read :lol:

oh! that one!
i’ve been there to use the massage chairs :mrgreen:

one of the bigger chains of mankitsu in tokyo is BAGUS. they have a quite classy decor, so it’s nice to get a couple’s room and go with a special someone to watch videos or play games or just relax. they usually have another store nearby to play darts and billiards. i love their lime slushy. mmmmmmm mmmmmm. :kokoro:

Man, it’s hard to pick just one. But if I had to name my #1 favorite it’d have to be まほらば. Here’s a somewhat out of date list of some of my other favorites (with some anime mixed in).

Here’s a few more since I made that list that definitely deserve mentioning..

-よつばと! If you’re not reading it now, you should be.
-ひだまりスケッチ. Made of pure :kokoro:
-ひぐらしのなく頃に. Not for the faint of heart
-みなみけ
-ハヤテのごとく!

Had to chime in. 遊戯王「Yuugiou」 is the only manga I’ve read from start to finish. It was very, very good.
