My first time in a 漫画喫茶

It is 2:33 am, and I am sitting in an internet/manga cafe across the road to the south of Kyoto station.

How I got here:
With help from way-too-gracious Keisuke, I reached the station about fifteen minutes before the night bus I had booked to take back to Tokyo was to leave (at 11:00 pm). Unfortunately, I then misunderstood the way it worked, and figured it out at 10:58, which was apparently slightly too late to get on my bus. I asked, but there the rest of the buses for the night were booked full. Being 11 pm, hopping on a shinkansen for a big gob of money was not an option, which left me definitely stuck in Kansai (and pretty much stuck in Kyoto) for the night.
Which left the question of what to do until morning. I thought about walking back to the capsule hotel I stayed in the last two nights, which is closeby, but, it being already 11pm, I remembered that, even if they had vacancies, which I didn't think they did, the reception was already closed.
So, I figured I'd go find a Gasuto or something, a 24-hour McDonald's a the least, and just chill until morning. And then, lo, right across the street from the station (south side - facing away from town) I saw a "24時間" sign, and then saw that it also advertised manga and internet. This is actually my first time in a manga/internet cafe, but I'd heard from many people about staying overnight in them, so it seemed like a good idea.

What a manga/internet cafe is:
Normally open 24 hours, a place where you pay a certain amount of money for access to whatever library of manga (Japanese comics) they have, and a cubicle of your own. In an internet cafe there is also in the cubicle a computer with an internet connection. And, as I'm told is common, there is also, at this particular location, an all-you-can-drink softdrink bar (in the US free refills on many softdrinks are a matter of course, but not so in Japan). You can pay by the hour, but I chose a night pass, which gives me the above-listed amenities for 1500 yen (about $16 USD) for seven hours, which is all I need to get me to the first train.

It's pretty embarassing to have missed my bus, and getting back to Tokyo is gonna be a lot more expensive now (probably around 8000 yen, plus the 4000 I already paid for the bus, fff), but it's been interesting, anyway.
