Humungo has "super" design sense, making great use of props and room elements (like the PA Lottery Machine). Manga, GNs, Statues & Busts and more provide consumers with choices and treasures. This area offers something for every gamer (including a reason to stay in the store longer).

Comics are displayed in a number of eye-catching ways, including this colorful rack. Special displays (like this rocket ship spinner rack) give the store extra "character." Cards & Card Games make profit-boosting add-ons.
