Ateneo de Manila University, my alma mater, Â is opening its food manga library to the public and its students. To those who are interested in checking out this library should take advantage of seeing all the amazing food manga out there.
This is quite an interesting collection of books with over 100 titles to choose from. In this delicious manga library are complete collections of great food manga giants such as Oishinbo, Cooking Papa, The Chef, Mister Ajikko, Osen, Chuuka Ichiban (Cooking Master Boy), Addicted to Curry, and the popular Yakitate Japan. At the same time, it also contains short takes such as Kinou Nani Tabeta, Oishii Kankei, Oishii Ginza, Barista, Green, and a couple of other titles that celebrate the glory of food through manga.
The Food Manga Library is for free, and is open from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. You are more than welcome to peruse through the titles, write down some amazing recipes from these manga, and have a feast with your eyes with every page.
I’ve personally seen the collection and my only suggestion is… don’t go there hungry.
quick question: is the library open on weekends? thanks!
I’m sorry rotch but the library’s already closed since the 29th. ;_; It was a complement to the Japanese Studies Food conference two weeks ago.
