I was born in Japan and have been reading manga since I was very young. Before I knew it, I had already crossed 40 years of age. I aspire to share Japanese manga culture with the world in English from Hokkaido, the northernmost region of Japan. While I believe I have a decent collection of books, after getting married in 2019 and having children, space became an issue. Consequently, I had to dispose of all the 'long-standing, major works'. However, this left my bookshelf with interesting, lesser-known manga that are too obscure to be digitized, creating a very charming and unique collection. I want the world to understand that manga is not just about the popular titles that have been translated into English. I hope people around the world can enjoy the profound depth of manga culture. To support this endeavor, I need some capital, so I have included advertisements. I hope for your understanding in this matter. I want to create a manga library that people from overseas can easily visit when they come to Hokkaido.
