What people say, in short
Many visitors recommend the Kyoto International Manga Museum, and a couple of visitors say it is easy to reach from Kyoto Station.

On the downside, one visitor says it could easily be skipped, and another found it fine but felt it leaned heavily on WWII and was not a priority.
