| - Gotta say this was a pretty cool spot! Its like a giant nerd cave, with everything you could want in one spot.
The area was quite large, with a huge lobby area. There was a lot of unused space at the front, but some cool posters hung up on the walls. The inside was quite nice, with comfortable seating everywhere and wall-to-wall shelves with manga! They had full sets of almost everything you could think of and more! In the back, they had areas for video games, with different consoles in the corners, and retro video game stations in the middle.
With such nice things to say, why would I give a lower rating? That's due to the sitting fee being $15, which made it quite a pricey visit. The fee included any drink from their menu, but that would mean you had to get a drink. For $20, they gave you the option to leave and come back, as they do not actually serve any food there. Other than some snacks and cute pastries, there wasn't really anything substantial to eat.
Service was very good though, as they girl there gave us a tour when we arrived and explained everything quite thoroughly.
As this place is catering to a very niche market, it is quite hard to see myself coming again. For me, the main reason I would be interested in coming would be for the manga library. However, since the price to stay and read is quite steep, I don't see myself coming back (especially considering the fact that everything you can do here, you could do at home for free). A super cool spot, but not worth the price in my opinion.
