Kai – the pen-name for our resident manga expert, Kwok – is a one-man work force. Kai has gone from being our most regular customer to a member of staff with just one week of work experience between (in which the question most asked by other staff was: ‘Hasn’t he gone home yet?’) Kai quite likely has the largest collection of manga in Britain helped along by the nice staff discount.
We’re slowly weaning Kai off the Japanese graphic novels with a steady drip-feed of great novels, South Korean horror movies and with the help of our new cafe, cake.
