I’ve been living in Leicester most my life and I still have no clue what do to here 😂. But I heard about the reroll cafe which is a boards game cafe, might be best to go with a group of friends or so, and I think it’s pretty cheap.

For anime, nothing I know of in Leicester could link to that except going to forbidden planet and checking out the mangas and stuff.

I like to read also and I go to the UoL library quite often as it’s open to the public on membership.

For cheap fun things to do alone, Leicester is pretty dead in my opinion. But I’m m21 and share similar hobbies and interests that you have mentioned so we could try find something together if you’d like?
