Need to draw manga? Do it in an Akihabara cafe!

Need to draw manga? Do it in an Akihabara cafe!  photo



Have you ever been in a situation where you want to draw your doujinshi, but don’t have an area to do it in? Afraid that your parents, wife, boyfriend, or grandma might catch you drawing that Choji X Kenshiro yaoi? Well, the people who brought you maid café, the butler café, and the firemen café, are here to save the day. “Creators Café” in Akihabara will have all the equipment one would need to make manga. From high-quality scanners, PCs with Photoshop, desks, and coffee—it will have everything you need (except talent.)

The hourly charge to use this equipment is 500 yen, which isn’t so bad for short-term use; though it would be nice to get a free drink in there. If I was in some kind of manga club, and we were making a doujinshi for comiket, then I’m sure we would be making use of this service during late night drawing sessions. Heisei Democracy says it best, it would definitely be better with maids; though I believe neko maids would be the best fit here.
