10/10
I wish I could watch this every day
28 January 2023
I don't know how I end up giving 10 ratings to most Japanese series I watch. I've never seen such beauty in every frame, that also leaves a soothing and calming sense after watching. No hidden agendas or dark twists. I'm not sure people would call the Maiko kawaii but for me this was the definition of kawaii, cute and adorable and sweet. And what you see is what you get and that's reassuring and calming. I wish all series were like that!

Even in parts that it might be slow, it doesn't feel forced or dragging, every aspect was enjoyable. And there was so much to look at with all these amazing houses and clothes and hair and makeup. And of course the cooking and the food.

When they were all together it reminded me a bit of Midnight Diner which I also loved. But here there was no sad backstory, everything was handled and delivered as stoically and gracefully as a Maiko.

And lastly, I really enjoyed learning about this tradition which I had no idea of. Even from a purely educational aspect, this series is a 10. Adding all the rest, it definitely needs more stars. Congrats to everyone involved in the production! Okini!
