Manga Library opens at Japan University!

Preparing the path for the ultimate place for Manga fans, a University in Japan opens a Manga Library.

A “manga” library opened in Tokyo this weekend, featuring traditional Japanese comic magazines that were popular nearly half a century ago and a rare compilation of romantic comics for women.Visitors can also browse old issues of the smash-hit girls’ magazines “Ribon” and “Nakayoshi” as well as most comic books published in Japan in the 1960s or later from among some 140,000 items stocked at the Yoshihiro Yonezawa Memorial Library of Manga and Subculture, which opened Saturday at Meiji University.

The library, named after the manga critic Yonezawa who died in 2006, is a preparatory facility for what the university is trying to complete as one of “the world’s largest” library featuring manga comics in 2014, it said.
