The manga recently won the Best Shōnen Manga award in the 65th Shogakukan Manga Awards in January earlier this year.
The public television broadcaster NHK announced on Tuesday that Aiko Koyama’s Maiko-san Chi no Makanai-san (Makanai in the Maiko Lodge) manga is inspiring an anime.
The manga’s story is set in Kyoto’s “hanamachi” geisha quarter.
Here, after geisha finish their work late at night, they spend the night resting at a lodge to prepare for the next day.
