The smell of Tokyo
November 2, 2006I mentioned before that I wondered what the smell of Tokyo would be like.
Now I know. I found it in a Manga Cafe.
I…I don`t want to SPECULATE what causes it. It`s beyond a locker room smell, or even a Metro Manila bus smell. But a manga cafe is just what it sounds like: rows and rows of manga, booths for internet, reclining chairs, and free coffee. I`m on my second cup as I type.
I`m researching good manga art to buy in a bookstore. The list I made so far:
- tokyo tribes 2 santa inoue
- tokyo graffiti
- super strike ta-29 yamamoto yohko
- buzzer beater inoue takehiko
- mataharina moyoko anno
- death note
- hellsing kota hirano
- tattoo shu akana
- island youn in-wan
- basilisk
- blodod sucker legend of zipangu
- old boy garounds jiya
- countach haruto umezawa
I paid Y980 for 4 hours of free use of the manga and internet. With it, I`m checking off one of the last of my to-do list while in Tokyo. With four more days to go, I`ll visit the last of the interesting places in this mega-city, and buy the rest of the pasalubong.
