Ahhhh the world of Manga: Japanese comic books and graphic novels. This gaming cafe is artsy and nerdy cool, a great place to work during the day, play games into the night and chill till the wee hours of the morning.
Free WiFi and music that switched from lively to relaxing and back. Projected on the back wall was some anime cartoon with English subtitles. There were many shelves full of Manga books, games and even Cosplay masks.
The owner greeted us warmly, explained the concept of the cafe then went over the menu with us. If you're here to play, you pay $10 for unlimited access to the games and you get one free drink. Seat yourself because they have table service; you can pay on the way out. They were out of a few things at 9:30pm so we settled on:
Bubble tea with Lychee - hated the bubble tea but loved the lychee.
Hojica Tea Latte - watered down but it came with two yummy Pocky sticks: one chocolate and one strawberry.
Raindrop cake with kinako powder and black honey - the cake was just plain gelatin, the black honey was overpowering and the kinako powder made things gritty.
Rilakkuma (Chocolate mousse) Dome Cake had the cutest presentation but tasted meh.
Akiba fries (fries with Takoyaki toppings) could have been more crispy but the toppings made it deliciously addicting.
Would love to come back and hang out, sip some Japanese imported tea and munch on Takoyaki specially brought over from Osaka.
