Some of the "manners" being pointed out pertain to hygiene and not being a nuisance to other people - for example: cover your mouth when you cough/sneeze (Medalist) and reserve space for large baggage in advance (Fairy Tail).

Other posters are about how to best enjoy Japanese food and drink: don't be afraid to eat sushi with your hands or slurp your noodles! (Shota no Sushi & Fire Force). Hold your rice bowl in your hands (Seven Deadly Sins). pic.twitter.com/bU75CkBoAe
