| According to Mainichi Newspaper, Meiji University will establish "Tokyo International Manga Library" specialized in manga, dojinshi, key anime arts, games, and character goods by 2014. The number of the items to be stored at the moment of its opening will be more than two million. Preceding the full launch, Yonezawa Yoshihiro Memorial Library will be opened on October 31th. The late Yonezawa was the second representative director of Comiket Committee and his collections of 140,000 dojin related items were donated to Meiji University in conformity with his wish.

| by that time, i would finally get to understand Japanese. |
 |
| That's awesome! |
| That's one library I'd actually go to visit. Too bad I don't know how to read Japanese.... Guess there's time to learn though, hehe. |
| One of my dreams as a bibliophile has finally come true! |
| I wonder if this will ever reach Guinness |
     |
| Ohohoho yes....When this manga library opens, I'm so going to go there. :D |

| i hope i can go to that library.. |
     |
| Sound awesome, but I fear for the hentai mangas. D: Let hope those manga is laminated |
 |
| that's awesome... i wished i lived in japan... as of the moment, to learn japanese, here i come! |
| i'm gonna have to say wtf, i dbout in my lifetime i could collect that many movies, albums, and books combined. sounds like the uni is getting a nice jump start on its collection |
 |
| awesome! time to learn nihonggo! XD |
   |
| WIN |
 |
| Heeeh, omoshiroi na~ A university with a manga library? An otaku's dream come true!! |
 どんなに小さなつぼみでも、ひとつだけのHappiness. :) No matter how small the bud may be, it is just one Happiness. :) |
| Where newbies from all over the world would just stalk over :/ I'm glad... |
| that uni will be full (-er) of otakus now :X after aso-sama's failure to make a national manga-kissa, i'm glad of this news. |
 |
| Okay ever one who can read japanese form a line we start waiting now. |
| Just another reason to want to live in Japan! |
 |
| By that time i hope i learn jap maybe teach english o'er there |
 |
| Take me there. It must be paradise. I just know it. |
| the idea just gave me tingles |
 |
| WOW!!! I WANNA GO THERE!!!! |
 |
| That sound awesome, I wonder how much the project will cost. |
| Looking forward to visiting. |
| It's amazing that 140,000 will be donated. |
| Cool. |
| DO WANT. D: |
| Higashi no Eden - indeed :D |
| Well, now I have another reason to learn Japanese. Hopefully I'll get to visit it in a few years, assuming that I learn Japanese within a few years. Anyone know of a good program to learn it? (if so please post your comment on my profile. Thanks!) |
| It's a win for everyone! Cool! |
 |
| I don't think I'll be there for its opening but I'm certainly going to visit it at least once in my life. and talk about some manga I just picked up to some random stranger, while I'm there. (like I do with the internet!) |
| Nippon BANZAI! BANZAI! BANZAI! This is a dream for any perfectionist. |
| Looks like I need to start saving money... |
| Hello! |
| used erohon... x_x |
 I am a banana. |

| That's not just the largest manga library in the world, but probably one of the biggest libraries of any kind of hardcopy paper type. Most universities (that I know of) have a main library of a few hundred thousand books, in comparison. |
| Definitely gonna be one of my major stops when I go on vacation to Japan. |
"It's because you exist.. That I'm here right now.."  |
| omg, but I can't to be able to go to japan even though I don't know japanese ^^' It's just awesome!:D |
| This library sounds so awesome. Maybe I can visit it one day in my life. |
| This is really awesome!!! Why don't I live in Japan, why don't I understand Japanese ? *cries* |
 |
| Looks like somebody decided to take the Manga Museum idea a little too seriously. For that matter, this is actually going to be pretty awesome and of course, expensive. Not sure if it can be succeeded with 10 million yen? Maybe, I will add an extra zero to it. |
 |
| Hope my country will have one here someday |
| I will definitely visit there sometime in the far future (after it's finished and of course, when I have the money). This is another big step for the otaku culture :) |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
