Manga set in real places

289 manga whose story happens somewhere you could actually stand, across 102 real locations.

Like the video games and the anime, and unlike everything else here, this is not about filming. A manga is drawn, so no camera ever stood anywhere: these pins are where the story is set.

Most of them are here because of Japanese Wikipedia rather than Wikidata. Wikidata records a narrative location for barely two dozen manga in the world; Japanese Wikipedia files them under the ward, the city or the island they happen in, and those categories are what most of these pins come from. Every one of them says so on the page.
