“Momohana, you’ve been skipping meals lately, haven’t you?”
“Gasp! How did you know?”
Only because it’s the plot of basically every single chapter.

Why’s Kiyo so ruffled?

I love how even the narration is calling her Megane-san-neesan now.

Surely the foreign tourists would be calling “geisha! geisha!” :stuck_out_tongue:

Wait, the odori is over? We didn’t even get to see any of it, besides part of one of the dress rehearsals.

Foot-washing. I presume this has its etymological origin in some literal washing of feet.

Comments

Color cover, looks super pretty!

Get out demon (Pineapple and Corn on pizza, I am not surprised but I am dissapointed)

We mostly don’t get to see the nitty gritty of the Maiko stuff and I think that is on purpose. This manga is what happens behind the scenes, not what everyone sees in that world from the outside (although it would be nice to see for us since we are not japanese but oh well haha)

Heh, the moment she cut all those crusts off, I was wondering what was going to happen to them.

Gotta love the poor man’s donuts. I really like recipes where you use “scraps” to make a dish (and they usually turn out a lot better than you would expect!)

Yet another Sumire L


For how much of a 舞妓さん genius she is, it is pretty incredible she still hasn’t linked eating food to not being hungry lol. They other maiko immediately smelling the tasty Kiyo food is funny af

Well, excuse you. Scones are neither donuts nor poor. :stuck_out_tongue:

Aye, I loved that bit too. She was so concerned about the sound that she completely forgot about smell.
