Akihabara is not only Anime and Mangas. We have many other threads of OTAKU and Akihabara is one that caters to so many of them.

While the focus is of course the Anime and Mangas, figurines, dolls, cosplay, trading cards and the 2.5 dimensional world that this consists, we will be look deeper and explore the backstreets of Akihabara and check out the Akiba food culture, game consoles, pop culture snacks, cosplay, purikura, arcade games & more.
