…For educational purposes, I’m sure. According to the Mainichi, Meiji University in Tokyo is starting a “Manga and Subculture Library.” And how better to start a library like that than by purchasing the late Comic Market co-founder Yoshihiro Yonezawa’s doujinshi collection? Yonezawa– also a prolific manga critic –passed away in 2006 at the age of 53.

Unfortunately the article doesn’t say anything about how many books and doujinshi he had, but I bet it was a lot.
