What is Manga Café?
As you read at the top, manga café is not usually formed café. Usually, it’s divided into personal booth. No other people can see what you’re doing at your own booth.
There are basically two kinds of booth you can choose. Those two are ‘Flat type’ and ‘Reclining type’. In the Flat type booth, you can lay it on. So if you are tired and want to have a rest, or spend the night, you can choose this flat type booth. In the Reclining type booth, there is a reclining chair in your booth. If you want to get to your work and use a PC, or read manga with a chair, you can use this reclining type booth.
In your booth, there is PC. You can use that as you like. When you are hungry, you can order meals from your seat.
Outside of your booth, there are various kinds of manga are placed. You can take those to your own booth and read them. Also, there are free drinks and ice cream you can have it for free. Also the shower is settled for travelers and the one who don’t have enough time to go home. That means, there is nothing missing for you to use manga café as abridged hotel.

My recommended Manga Café in Shibuya(Tokyo).
I live in Setagaya, where near Shibuya. So, I often use manga café located in Shibuya. For travelers planning to visit Shibuya, I recommend my best manga café in Shibuya. It’s ‘Gran Cyber Café Bagus’. It’s located in CenterGai Street on the above floor of Forever21. The reason why I chose this café is, services and ambiance. Service of this café is so good that clerks move as like speed of light when you require something to do. Ambiance of this café is so cool that it’s like secret base for adults. The keynote of this café is deep blue and feels like I’m being very cool.
