Manga Cafes まんが喫茶

Stay at a ‘manga kissa’, a ‘comic book cafe’

Manga

Manga cafes (’comic book’ cafes) are places where you can rent time to read from a library of comics or to use a computer, either hourly or for the night.

Simpler manga cafes have computers with chairs, a selection of comic books and little to no privacy.

Lots of places though, also offer drinks, snacks, shower facilities, game rooms, vending machines, a quiet area to rest, or private booths, which may have couches or futon.

Some manga cafe chains require you to sign up for a membership for a small fee. Expect to pay ¥1,500-3,000 per person to stay overnight.

Some manga cafes have women-only sections.

Budget (to ¥6000)
