Gross profit margin of over 80%! Open a new type of multi-purpose cafe with nationwide expansion.
Comic Buster's concept is "a multi-purpose cafe that can be used as part of your daily life." In addition to the elements of a traditional "manga cafe," it also incorporates amusement elements such as karaoke, a bedrock bath, and a mini-fitness center, and by continuously evolving to meet the needs of the times, it differentiates itself from other stores and achieves a gross profit margin of over 80%.
Estimated Startup Cost:¥10,000,000 or More

While many franchises offer a packaged format where "every store has the same atmosphere," Comic Buster allows for the creation of original stores, taking into account the concept, location, and the owner's wishes regarding the interior design.
Traditional manga cafes have had an image of being "difficult to enter" and "unsafe" for women, but Comic Buster believes that not only the facilities but also the furnishings and lighting design affect customer satisfaction. They are committed to quality, investing time and effort to create the best possible space. They strive to create stores that everyone, including women, families, and the elderly, can easily use. The "stylish and relaxing" atmosphere of Comic Buster is effective in attracting repeat customers.
Comic Buster stores are located in three types of locations: in front of train stations, in the city center, and in the suburbs. Owners can freely choose the location that best suits their land or desired location, and it's also possible to purchase and renovate existing manga cafes at a low cost. By using existing stores, costs can be reduced to less than half compared to opening a new store from scratch. Currently, there are around 20 stores in operation, making it an excellent option for owners who want to minimize startup costs.
Comic Buster provides comprehensive support to ensure owners can operate their stores with peace of mind. Before opening, they work with owners to create their stores using their unique "location/market creation layout," and store manager training provides owners with the necessary knowledge and skills. They also provide a comic book search system and easy-to-use computer software. Even if you are not familiar with manga or computers, it is not a problem. Furthermore, they offer 24/7 support in case of computer problems. Thanks to this consistent support from before opening, many stores have achieved gross profit of 80% and operating profit of 25% or more.
