A claustrophobic and cinematic exploration of nomadic life for those who enjoy slower paced stories.

Dropped: A fantastic coming of age Wuxia with a weird romance that made me drop.

5/10 Stars: A coming of age tale for the boys, that was elevated by the girls, but couldn't decide what kind of story it was trying to be, so ultimately floundered, despite thought provoking themes.

8.22/10 Stars: A coming of age tale following a teenage girl as she joins an art club and experiences first love and new friendships, faces her insecurities, and struggles to connect with her family.

8.9/10 Stars: A wholesome exploration of family, first love, and accepting who you are in a timeless (lol) tale that took a few episodes to hook me.

9.2/10 Stars: A family focused nostalgia fest with youthful romance and heartwarming relationships.

9.4/10: Light and refreshing, and yet hearty at the same time, The Makanai is a cozy coming of age tale that believes in and respects its characters, offering a look behind the curtain at the modern day Maiko. If you enjoy the bosom friendship of Anne of Green Gables, the vibes of a non-fantasy Kiki's Delivery Service, or a 'slice-of-life' leisurely narrative, I would highly recommend!
