If you want to feel the Otaku culture in Japan, quite innovative and brand-new public space to read Manga is provided in Shibuya. What is called, Manga-version of public library but one thing which is different from public library except for paying an admission fee, you can read manga as drinking beer. This salon has not opened yet. If you work around shibuya, you just go by after finishing your work. Here is open from 16:00 to 24:00 on ordinary days.
Opening Manga salon in Shibuya, whose project was incubated from crowdfunding. The concept is finding interesting manga with a support of Manga concierge, which is the very beginning for people to enter the gate of Manga world. Asking for investments at a crowdunding website, 12600,000 yen was gathered for only 2 months.
The name of this salon is "Trigger", which has meaning "the place where people trigger to find interesting manga to enter the gate of Manga world" behind. This salon is located in Shibuya. The producer of Manga Salon is "Manga HONZ" on which is the website listing book reviews of Manga.
In manga Salon, several concierges who are knowledgeable in Manga stay permanently and they introduce recommendable one to read. They are talented reviewer who read 1000 titles a year.
I don't think there are someone who's never read Manga but this place is definitely for people who are not familiar with Otaku Culture. Their future activities should be observed.
