Manga (Komikku) Culture

We all know that Japanese comic is very popular. From my childhood I have been reading Japanese comic translated to Chinese, where the pretty girls are always with big eyes, nut shape face and, in long socks and short skirt. Well, the comic may have evolved now since my time, but overall comic is still very popular in Japan. Apparently, reading manga is a temporary escape of reality and indulgence into a comic world of romance, violence , adventure, sports or even sexuality. Due to the rigidness of the Japanese society, comic is a form of release from tension, social obligation and lack of space.

There was one night, we walked into a 24 hours manga store where with a little fee, one can have unlimited drinks, free read of manga, magazines and even an assigned cubical space with computer and internet for people to watch DVD, listen to music or interneting. We did that for an hour or so… just for the fun of it.
