A unique experience in Montreal, O-Taku Manga Lounge recreates the ambiance of a Japanese manga lounge by adjoining its bookstore with a community space where enthusiasts can develop their passion for Japanese comic books. “We wanted it to be a place where newbies and connoisseurs can mingle,” explains Alex Vargas, the lounge’s co-owner. “Everybody can come in and satisfy their curiosity for Japanese culture, whether it be big or small – and manga is an excellent starting point.”
In addition to stocking a vast selection of comic books, O-Taku Manga Lounge has also set up a proper reading lounge where customers can lose themselves in a graphic novel. A café corner serving a selection of Asian teas and sweets is also on site.
Manga lovers will be thrilled to find this great tea lounge/manga shop. The service is excellent and you can enjoy fine teas or a good array of bubble teas while perusing the manga selection or chilling with friends.
