Hiroshima Manga Library (広島市まんが図書館) 広島市まんが図書館

Opened in 1997, Japan's first public library devoted solely to manga: over 120,000 volumes.

The library opened on 1 May 1997 as a branch of Hiroshima's central library, Japan's first public library devoted solely to manga (‘公立では日本初の漫画専門図書館’). The ground had already been prepared by the Hijiyama ‘open-air library’, active from 1983 and closed on 1 December 1996. Two years after the opening, on 1 May 1999, the small Asa reading room was added, with another 56,534 volumes. As of March 2014 the Hijiyama site alone held 123,673, almost all of them manga (99.9%).
