``MANGA MANNERS'' was posted in front of the immigration checkpoint at Narita Airport Terminal 2 in October 2024 and received a lot of attention. The second round was held at Tokaido Shinkansen stations from April 2025, and the third round was held at Kyoto City, one of Japan's leading tourist destinations, from November 2025. The fourth installment features 12 new works, including three new works: ``Atelier of the Pointed Hat,'' ``The Darwin Incident,'' and ``Space Brothers.'' New manners have also been added to help foreign visitors to Japan use Japanese railways more comfortably.
The advertisement promotes 12 manners, such as ``Avoid taking pictures that will disturb other passengers inside the station or on the train,'' ``Set the train to silent mode and refrain from talking on the phone,'' and ``Leave a wide opening near the doors when getting on and off the train.''
