I want to try a manga-kissa next time I've got a day to myself in Osaka, especially if I can find a no-smoking one. Though unfailingly providing no-smoking environment, Starbucks in Japan are way too busy to be relaxing; the social pressure to get up and leave because there is a long line of people waiting is overwhelming. There is a three-story sutaa-baa in Shinsaibashi that has a line that regularly fills the stairwell leading to each of its three floors. I find it hard to relax over coffee and a book when there is a human fire hazard glowering at me.
