舞妓さんちのまかないさん・Kiyo in Kyoto Volume 9

Feels like we haven’t had a real world location in a while. Blue Fir Tree. (Might have to make a note of this place for my visit later this year…)

Are they allowed to just go into this place with their hair up, though?

And the dish, honestly looks pretty good

Honestly the Maiko rules kinda escape me at this point, but I think they are allowed to go to those places? I mean, they do go when they are treated by the clients, but I don’t remember honestly

So, I sorta get that she wants her frying pan, but surely there are places you can buy those in Kyoto…

I suppose it comes down to how much it costs to buy one. Although you’d think that’d be a business expense, not a personal one.

Yeah, I thought the same, but maybe I imagine it was something like her mentioning to her grandma in passing that the pan there was starting to stick and then she was like “I can just send you yours”, not wanting to get it from the head of the house or something

Funny panel

On another note, I’m getting used to the new forum UI, it’s different but some things I think make more sense

The shrine that features prominently in this chapter is Shiramine-jingu. You can get there from Gion on the 12, 51, 59, 201 or 203 bus routes. It’s about an hour’s walk back.

I got a chuckle out of this one

I just learnt that 鴨川 is an actual river, not just the family name of the futatsu no spica protagonist haha

My first thought upon seeing this among the baking supplies:

Love how Kenta exactly pictures the sequence that happened in Kyoto. And his return letter どうも, like the joke about the guy convinging a fishmonger to delete every word of his “Fresh Fish Sold Here Today” sign.
