In this area, Japan is a country of enormous opposites.
It is the land of reason, of social norms, of "adapting oneself", of functional objectivity.
The other side is the Hello Kitty and Mangas culture.
There is a preference for funny, or even idiosyncratic comic, pictorial representations and drawings.
This applies to all life forms of danger signs, advertising, mascots, corporate identity to a variety of books.
In the booksellers, whole floors are often devoted to comics and manga.
