Manga island: Remote Japan island aiming to become global manga hub

Full story: https://immersive.kyodonews.net/remot... Visitors to Takaikamishima, in western Japan, are welcomed by a colorful cast of characters from Japanese manga which far outnumber the island's 11 residents where a revitalization project is underway. Over thirty murals depicting characters from manga decorate buildings fronting the harbor of Takaikamishima, an island in the Seto Inland Sea in Ehime Prefecture. The murals are the face of an initiative aimed at keeping the 1.34-square-kilometer island on the map by turning it into a hub of manga culture. #manga #japan #japantravel
