A manga store in Akiba has implemented a new service whereby customers can just call and they will deliver the manga to you.

Mangazenkan 漫画全巻 sends their delivery man out via scooter to send out the mangas. The manga are packed nicely into silver boxes which resemble those used by lunch delivery.

For hikikomoris who are too lazy to move out of the house, they can even order snacks and drinks. LOL

I’d be cool if comics connections start this delivery service as well. But then I always enjoy the feeling of browsing which manga I want to purchase.

They were distributing those chopsticks to passerby to encourage people to bring their along their own pair of chopsticks when they go out. This would reduce the waste as a result of using those disposable chopsticks.
