The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House Full Review
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!
