Does S. Korea have manga cafes? You know, 24 hour places were you can read, sleep, eat, shower, use the internet, etc. for a really cheap price?

There are "PC bang" here, which are somewhat similar to the Manga kissa, but not usually more than just a place where teenagers go to play Starcraft and other games (in my experience). If you're ok with the whole public bathing thing, your better bet in Korea would be the jimjilbang (sauna and bathhouse): they're open 24 hrs, inexpensive (about 8-12,000 won for overnight) and often have PC rooms included, among other things.

There are Manga rooms here. You go in and there is Manga everywhere like a small library and you sit down some place and read.

I don't know of any place that has bed, shower, and other facilities though.

Thanks for both replies. I gather however that there are no true manga kissa around in Korea.
