manga cafe
Japanese reading parlor
A manga cafe is a Japanese establishment where customers pay by the hour to read from extensive manga collections, typically offering private cubicles, internet access, and amenities like drinks and showers.
Many people use them as cheap overnight accommodations: I missed the last train and spent the night at a manga cafe.
Also called manga kissa, from Japanese *kissaten* (coffee shop).
