A wall of manga
A colossal number of mangas stretching 200 meters.
  Since it was opened in 2006, the Kyoto International Manga Museum has increased the number of volumes in its collection year by year. Now, including modern domestic manga, the number of manga from all around the world written in the Meiji Period or later now extends to about 300,000 items. About 50,000 of these are versions that were donated by second-hand or rental bookstores, which are rarely seen these days. All of these volumes are kept in the museum in vast walls of manga, and they are available to the public.
The wall of manga near the entrance to the museum on the first floor is a Manga Exposition featuring manga from overseas and Japanese manga that have been translated into foreign languages, etc. This exposition contains about 5,300 volumes. It gives an unusual opportunity to see foreign manga in day-to-day life in Japan, so it should be interesting to pick one up and compare it with one from Japan.

It is rare indeed to have the chance to see foreign manga in your ordinary daily activities. So it should be very interesting to pick one up and compare it with a manga from Japan.
You can take manga out on the grounds of the Kyoto International Manga Museum. Of course you can read manga inside too, but please do take the opportunity to stretch out on the grass and read a manga while the wind of autumn blows your cares away.
