How much money Tokyo’s relatively numerous roadside manga sellers make is debatable to say the least, but it certainly can’t be a lot.
However, that said, insubstantial salary aside, it’s a livelihood that at least allows for a lot of reading on the job, along with a massive amount of material to boot.
Plus, as smoking becomes ever more marginalised, there’s no trouble at all when it comes to taking tobacco-based treats, with possibly the only frustration apart from financial being the odd funny looking foreigner faffing about taking photos.

That last shot really reminds me of the actor from Big Trouble in Little China he’s been in loads of stuff over the years but cant recall his name.
