I want to say China’s early COVID lockdowns were impressive, but no country is flawless. It seems like the lockdowns now-at a time when there are vaccines-at a time when people know how to mask up and social distance-at a time when we can manage the virus if we’re smart and get on with the economy, are a policy ultimately hurting more people than helping. At this point many of the COVID variants are more infectious but much less lethal. I hope you, your friends, and your family are managing and that you all get enough food. The government is not always right-and this applies to every nation.

Bless this video, seeing that manga library has me wondering if an updated collection video will come around sometimes soon B)

[@safi6749]

Yessssssssss I freaking loved the first time you did it for 24 hours I got so many good manga reccomends too Keep making contents like this Love them!!!!

[@bluckfox]

great video The Anime Man great work well done keep up the good work man

[@Outis634]

Great vid, bro

[@abura2980]

I love how Ohara was just saying "How's it going" 😂

[@PiksyMexxy]

As a (novice) Tertiary nun i go on retreat minimum yearly (pre-covid). Its interesting Japan has a word for this type of thing. I find i am definitely the best version of me when i stay alone in a small room; work, read, see the sun rise etc. I learn a lot about myself. (Tertiary = same vows but can be married, have families and live outside the religious community). Nuns can like anime too! 😉

[@Vlad2319]

There's holy anime

[@heather_bee]

I did not know this existed! Cool

[@naiknaik8812]

Man i should do stuff like that

[@MeakisTV]

*looks at racks at **4:27* I recognize that font on the back there on the left! ( Joey's head height ) That's ghost in the shell!

[@joon4768]

Protips for spending the night in an internet cafe: 1. Bring an eye mask + earplugs 2. Bring any bath items that you are particular about (i.e. loofah, specific shampoo/body wash/tooth paste) 3. Ask the front desk for a spare blanket (one to sleep on top of and one to use as a normal blanket....the pleather gets hot) 4. Do not sleep on the smoking floor, even if you do smoke 5. Bring pajamas 6. Pay in advance if you are drunk (not enjoyable to be woken up in order to pay your tab before you are allowed to stay any longer)

[@azazel6340]

I love how Joey is expanding and doing more than just anime videos

[@sagarbhalerao96]

Cuz he don't watch anime no more

[@azazel6340]

@@sagarbhalerao96 I know I'm just glad he is doing what he enjoys

[@Vivid_Sky23]

I still wish he did the MOC though 🥺

[@firefly618]

It was very naive of me, but for years I imagined Manga Cafes and Internet Cafes as open-space establishments, with tables and sofas, where you could actually socialize with fellow manga fans. I should have known better. The Japanese invented the word Hikikomori after all.

[@Diree]

Yes, bah, this just looked depressing. Then again, living in Japan or being Japanese you might have a very different mindset.

[@IR-Fan]

Well for internet cafes that I used to go, they are still meant for users to privately browse internet in small booths.

[@Mycrosss]

Thank god for that, id hate getting annoyed by random people wanting to socialize when im out relaxing and reading. On the other hand, im fairly sure theres a lot of manga cafes as the one you explained, some of them are places where you can drink, read and socialize if thats what you prefer.

[@PerfectSense77]

Joey paid specifically for a sealed off room. I’m sure there’s other options. You see him using common areas where people could socialize in this vid.

[@powerpuff4ever]

There are communal areas! Like towards the end Joey shows some spaces you can hang out with friends but even in smaller ones that don’t have billiards and arcade rooms, there tend to be kind of lounge areas. But the thing is you usually rent a room anyway, people that are staying a long time don’t really come with people, and you can imagine most of the people who come are quite introverted - not a ton of people hoping to interact with strangers. Keep in mind Japan doesn’t have much of a small talk culture so things like that can be uncomfortable.

[@islamcavoy6569]

saw a quick glimpse of restaurant to another world, thought it was a rather lesser known manga/anime so it was good to see!! good 4 vol manga so have a read

[@jjayyarr9381]

THIS WAS GREAT JOEY!

[@necromancexiii]

What Joey thought he showed us: 4 hours on the phone screen What I saw: Joey flexing on us with Aki on the phone screen

[@elizabeth_mlpfim9403]

It's so sweet that Joey has Aki as his lock screen, not that I haven't already seen it before but I think it's nice

[@ndyKong]

4:55 A room with a bed that can fit two people, with a projector that can be used to display movies, and is also completely isolated to public. Gee, I wonder how Japanese people utilize such a room.

[@Spaghetti742]

Ngl if i wasn't maidenless I would totally go to someplace like this with a significant other.

[@sariosario6631]

Consider that their population are declining, I believe they use it to read manga and watch anime

[@despicablepenguin]

You do realize they have love hotels....

[@ndyKong]

@@despicablepenguin You do realize that doing “stuffs” in (semi-)public area is a pretty common fetish in Japan…

[@sambegstha3516]

Its good to see Ohara.

[@Ka_ru_su]

Seems a perfect place to study illustrations. I will check this place out when I can eventually visit Japan

[@HYPERWATER]

I like these videos sooooo much man It’s like escaping reality with Joey for 40 minutes

[@bobbygreg6619]

I was not expecting ohara. What a pleasant surprise

[@Spiritofdarkandlonelywater]

I stayed for a week in Sakura Hotel in Ikebukuro in 2008, and they have sent me an email every year since wishing me a Happy New Year. No hotel/motel/hostel in North America or Europe has ever done that, though to be fair the places I stayed in Kyoto, and Hiroshima, didn't either. Makes me remember Ikebukuro though.

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

Well Japan does care about customers. Especially smaller family owned businesses

[@LachyWiles]

My god the lighting in these rooms is an absolute nightmare, creates a sterile and dungeon-esque atmosphere. I personally would hate to be reading in one of these cells with an obnoxiously bright spotlight on me. If they fixed the lighting in these places I can guarantee people would find them much more enjoyable!

[@PerfectSense77]

You can’t tell what the lighting looks like from a video. Lighting that looks fine in a normal room often looks atrociously bad in a video.

[@cktommyc3323]

For someone who "lived" in one of those cubicle from your last video for a 'budget' holiday for 3 days, this room look a lot nicer! I not advice people do this but it is a way out if you stuck in Tokyo and didn't have a place to stay.

[@th3fall0f3den]

I'd love to try this out for a weekend

[@skunkbuttmagoo]

I literally just rewatched the 24 hour manga cafe video the day before this came out hahaha I'm living vicariously through you (so jealous!) When the country opens up I'm definitely gonna try to stay in one of these places overnight 💗

[@LollyDream437]

Is there more luxurious rooms? Would love to see, and more 48hrs challenges. If you did one with Aki that would be super cool!

[@Rukoy]

I've been in a manga/anime slump for what feels like 2 years now, but Bisque Doll is what got me out of it and I love it so much I've cried at a few parts. Really glad to see that you liked it too, and I'm really happy to read more again. Thank you for the video!

[@geekmoto1363]

ive watched the anime version of the manga you picked first to read, it was really cool and wholesome, i saw the character on the cover and something in my noggin went, i have seen her before, and i just couldnt recall the name of the anime, so had to whip out my phone and google translate, and as i saw the translation, i knew which anime it was, that manga is going to be awesome for you joey

[@Matibag]

Love the content

[@memorie65]

I'm sop glad you picked what has made my top tier anime/manga list!! I love my dress up darling. Started reading the manga cause I couldn't just wait for a second season. It looks like despite the challenge it looks my type of fun and a way to get away from it all. I think the US could really follow in Japan's foots steps and make more internet cafés that are essentially mini hotels.

[@jenniferge5196]

The projector’s audio cracked me up so much 😂 Garnt’s laughter sounded so evil hahahahah

[@theweebchannel4850]

Calling this a challenge is making me reconsider my life choices... There are weeks where I don't leave my house at all, so doing this for 48 hours seems more like a good thing rather than a bad one.

[@beetosan2910]

My Dearest Self with Malice Aforethought was such a good manga, I truly do appreciate you recommending it.

[@huangchristian98]

I saw this Cafe on that one site. It was marvelous.
