Not a company perk, and definitely not a free trip, so it looks like it's a no go.

Too bad.

Man pinched for staying at manga cafe for 34 days without paying bill


GIFU -- A man who stayed at a comic-book cafe in Gifu for over a month and ate there without paying was arrested Wednesday, police said.

The unemployed man, referring to himself as Kiyoshi Ikeda, 37, was arrested for fraud. He has reportedly admitted having stayed at the cafe intentionally.

"I ran out of money and I thought I'd stay there until I got kicked out," he was quoted as telling police.
Investigators accuse Ikeda of staying at the cafe in Gifu for 34 days from March 10 until the predawn hours of Wednesday and eating and drinking there with no intention of paying. He allegedly failed to pay about 150,000 yen in fees.

The manga cafe where Ikeda stayed was open 24 hours a day. He reportedly lived in a room at the cafe costing 1,000 yen for nine hours. After ordering a grilled beef dinner on March 10, he reportedly survived on only coffee and toast every morning. The room had a sofa and a washbasin, which he reportedly used to wash his underwear.

Ikeda had been a regular visitor to the cafe since about January. His long stay didn't arouse suspicion because the staff members worked on shifts. Workers reportedly failed to notice that he wasn't keeping up with payments.

The cafe handed him over to police after asking him to pay a bill on Wednesday and discovering that he was carrying only 16 yen. (Mainichi)
