People are interested in Japan for various reasons, manga being one. Kumanichi reports that Takamori has for its high school budgeted 383 million yen for its “manga-related department.” Much of the funding will go towards new dormitories, particularly three for girls, and production equipment. Takamori, with its breathtaking scenery and legendary, well, legends lends itself well to manga (a photo is below). This may well result in recruiting students from outside the prefecture. We wish them well.
