This place is called suncomic. If one had heard of the name alone, one would've probably thought it's a comic store.
Far from being *just* a comic store, suncomic sells
The store consists of two "floors"- the first floor is where the gunpla, artbooks, figures, DVDs, and ita-shirts are. The comics and cosplay accessories are found on the second floor.
But what I really wanna highlight about this store is this-
Suncosplay Cafe
This cafe, located at the back of the first floor, is, as the name indicates, a cosplay cafe. When I saw this I thought, "WHAT? A COSPLAY CAFE IN MALAYSIA?" I was at this store after watching Eva 1.0, and the cafe was closed then.
So I mailed them to ask about the suncosplay cafe, and this is what they said:
Yes, the Cosplay Cafe was intended to be a true cosplay outlet for cosplayers. We used to have part time cosplayers working there but unfortunately, the crowd in Cineleisure has been poor and we were unable to realize our intention for that place. Right now the cafe is functioning as a normal cafe with food and drinks without any cosplay elements at the moment.
We do hope someday the crowd in Cineleisure will improve and we can then bring back part-time cosplayers as waiters / waitresses, even organise cosplay events as well.
T'was very disappointing to hear that. I think we're gonna need to support them a lot more before they can resume activities as a cosplay cafe.
Maybe they should have some meidos outside Cineleisure to give out flyers or something. That would surely attract tons of Malaysian otaku. :P
Anyway, if you wanna visit this store, it's located at Cineleisure, Damansara, on the lowest(?) floor. It's just two lots away from ShiokToys.com.
