Manga Cafe Mika
By Ann • Aug 20, 2008San Francisco’s first and only manga cafe, modeled after Japan’s ubiquitous manga kissa. Their setup is quite a bit more modest but they do stock about 20,000 volumes of manga, about 90% of which is in Japanese and the rest in English. They also sell a limited selection of pre-packaged Japanese snacks and drinks.
Pricing: $5 for the first hour, $1.25 for every 15 minutes thereafter (not including tax)
Hours: 12pm – 8pm, Tuesday – Sunday, closed Mondays
Location: SF Japantown, Kintetsu building (next to Jpntoys)
Address: 1737 Post St #320, San Francisco, CA 94199

Went there this last Saturday, 10/04/08, and I gotta say its pretty nice. Chairs are comfortable, employees are nice and courteous, and has a nice relaxing atmosphere. I will probably go there again this weekend as well, nice place to unwind after a week.
I went to Japantown yesterday and noticed “Store closing sale” signs on the window! Doh! More signs indicated that the store would be closed until 4/3/2009, and that the closing sale would be held on April 17-19 & 24-26.
Can’t believe thats happening. It was alway kind of empty. =/
