This is the place I like the most in Kyoto! We renovated a closed school building for making this museum. Therefore, we use classrooms as manga exhibition rooms.

In this museum you can read manga freely as you want! Some read manga in a hallway. Others lie back and read manga on a tatami mat. You can also sit reading manga on the terrace or on the lawn.

This museum holds a workshop for drawing manga and painting anime figures. We also invite a manga celebrity for a talk show. Here is the place we can enjoy ourselves whenever we visit. I want to live in here if possible!
