I'm writing this morning from a manga cafe called Kaikatsu Club. Manga cafes have, as you might expect, a lot of manga, but they also have booths you can rent for the night, which is why I'm here. I'm in the process of moving from one town to another that's around three hours away by train. There's been a few hitches in the tangled path of paperwork so my move couldn't be completed before I had to start work in the new town. Fortunately, you can stay the night at a manga cafe booth for just over 2000 yen (less than 20 dollars). Amenities include wifi and even a shower.
I've slept in a recliner for two nights now. The first was more difficult but by the second night I was either more acclimated or more tired because I slept easily, despite a surprising amount of noise of people walking around and slamming doors. I fell asleep listening to the Blade Runner soundtrack on my noise cancelling headphones and really feel I'm living my best cyberpunk life.
