"The Wall of Manga" at the Kyoto International Manga Museum can be overwhelming at first sight.
乍看之下，京都國際漫畫博物館的漫畫牆相當震撼人心。
About 50,000 manga volumes line the museum’s hallways and main exhibition room, one of the largest concentrations of manga in the world, but the books on display amount to only a fraction of the institution’s 300,000-strong collection.
博物館大廳與主要展示廳排滿大約5萬冊漫畫，為全球最大漫畫集中地之一，但這些展出的漫畫書，只占30萬本館藏漫畫的一小部分。
"I was like, ’Wow, there are so many manga books. I’m glad I came here,’" Ryutaro Kobayashi, 11, a fifth-grader visiting from Kyoto’s Shimogyo Ward in December, said with a smile.
「我覺得，『哇！這裡有這麼多漫畫書。我很高興來到這裡，』」來自京都市下京區的11歲小五生小林龍太郎去年12月來此時如此笑說。
The boy sat in the hallway on the first floor of the museum and read a manga about food called "Toriko."
這名男孩坐在博物館1樓大廳，讀著一本有關食物的漫畫トリコ。
His mother, Tomoko, 40, was absorbed in "Kochira Ai! Otoseyo" (This is Ai! Respond, over) , a mountaineering manga targeted at young girls, and had comic books piled beside her.
男童母親，40歲的知子則埋首於こちら愛！応答せよ（台譯「夢幻的愛」或「一對一」），一本有關登山、針對年輕女孩的漫畫，身旁還堆了一堆漫畫。
The museum, which opened in November 2006, is jointly operated by the Kyoto municipal government and Kyoto Seika University, which has a Faculty of Manga. It attracts about 200,000 to 300,000 visitors annually and has become a significant new attraction in the ancient city.
2006年11月開幕的漫畫博物館，由京都市政府與有漫畫科系的京都精華大學共同經營，每年吸引20萬到30萬名訪客，已成為這座古都的一大重要新景點。
