17 August 2023

32-year-old Chris Louie opened a manga restaurant in the center of Manchester, where to read japanese comics Despite the absence art education, the man himself took up the interior design. And he managed to turn an ordinary room into a painted world.





Chris spied on the design of the unusual space in two-dimensional cafes in Hong Kong, South Korea and Dubai.

The walls are decorated with landmarks such as London Bridge, as well as a fake bookshelf and portraits of people.

Man paints walls in 4 months

"I painted every day until midnight, and sometimes until two o'clock night, says Chris. - First I chose a picture, made a sketch, and then I circled it with a marker. It was difficult. If I made a mistake then I had to cover it with white paint. This is my first experience ever I can't draw."



Waku Waku is the UK's first Japanese restaurant dedicated to comics

For more than 10 years, the man worked in a bank.

Among the images decorating the unique establishment are a fireplace and a bookcase.





Chris, a native of Hong Kong, said: "I am encouraged and I hope that people will like this concept and they will come to try the Japanese kitchen."





The restaurant opened its doors on August 15
