Last week while waiting over an hour for a table at that ridiculously popular Anjin 焼肉 place in OC, I noticed a "INTERNET&MANGA&TAPIOCA 漫画＆ネットカフェ」 across the street. Our only exposure to this sort of establishment was from 結婚できない男, but unlike the character-developing library-type environment depicted there, it was just a small sitting room with a dozen Ikea loungers cordoned off from a counter of overpriced snacks. The full cultural experience would cost $3 each for membership, $3 for the first half-hour and $2 for the next before I would tear myself away from 闘将!!拉麺男 #4 (their selection can't be criticized, however) realizing at our pace reading Japanese, we're better off just buying the books.
