The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House 2023 Tv Series Review Poster Online

Netflix has released the teaser for its heartfelt Japanese series The Makanai Cooking for the Maiko House. It was written and directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda. The first season of the show will have 9 episodes in total.


The Makanai--Cooking for the Maiko House, the upcoming Japanese series created by Hirokazu Kore-eda, will premiere on Netflix on January 12, 2023. The nine-episode series is based on the manga (Japanese novel or graphic novel) MAIKO - SAN CHI NO MAKANAI-SAN by Aiko Koyama.

Stars: Mayu Matsuoka, Ai Hashimoto, Nana Mori

Set in the Geiko district of Kyoto, the protagonist Kiyo (Nana Mori) becomes a Makanai (person she cooks) in a house where Maiko (Geiko's apprentice) lives together. The story depicts the daily life of Kiyo and Maiko Sumire (Natsuki Deguchi), her childhood friend who came with her from Aomori to Kyoto, amidst a vibrant world of Geiko and Maiko courtesans and delicious food. The comic won the 65th Shogakukan Manga Award and is a bestseller with more than 2.7 million copies sold.


The Makanai Cooking for the Maiko House is adapted from Aiko Koyoma's original super-hit Manga Maiko-san Chi No Makanai-san Maiko-san, which has sold more than 2.7 million copies worldwide. The show is set in Kyoto and follows the lives of childhood best friends Sumire Harai, played by Natsuki Deguchi and Kiyo Nozuki, played by Nana Mori.


Sumire and Kiyo come to Kyoto to become apprentice geishas, but only Sumire can become one. Kiyo now cooks meals for the Maiko House workers. The Japanese series will show the lives of cooks as geisha and Makanai apprentices. It is clear that viewers will also enjoy images of delicious Japanese cuisine. The drama will involve their daily life and the friendship of the two role characters.


The trailer begins with Kyoto writing an emotional letter to her grandmother, describing her new life as a cook at Maiko House. She seems pleased with her work, and everyone in the Maiko House seems to enjoy her cooking. In the midst of the daily chores of the Maiko House, it will be interesting to watch the drama surrounding Makanai.


Given the popularity of Manga among the readers, there has been an increase in its adaptation for movies and series. Netflix describes The Makanai Cooking for the Maiko House as an intimate and heartfelt drama. Given the multi-award winning Manga that is the inspiration behind this series, we are excited for the show's premiere.

Heated Rivalry 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney wrote and directed the six-part series about two rising hockey stars who fall passionately in love. Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin entered the NHL in 2005. For more than 20 years, the Canadian star and his Russian counterpart have waged one of the greatest rivalries in the sport. They've won titles, medals, and scoring crowns, and both are still playing (with the same franchises that drafted them), having earned their place among hockey's all-time elite. Creator: Jacob Tierney Stars: Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie, Callan Potter That's the underlying premise at the heart of HBO Max and Crave's new six-part romantic drama, Heated Rivalry, based on the book by Rachel Reid and written and directed by Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney. Don't expect many direct similarities to Letterkenny, though. Heated Rivalry may have some comedic elements, as relationships between passionate men are often entertaining, but it's a sincere a...

Dhurandhar's story unfolds against the backdrop of significant terrorist attacks in India, focusing particularly on harrowing incidents such as the hijacking of flight IC-814 in Kandahar in 1999, the Parliament attack in 2001, and the devastating 26/11 Mumbai attacks in 2008.

Ripple 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

When I started watching Ripple, I thought it was some kind of Hallmark series about people just living in New York, but as I got further into the series, I realized it was so much more. I think Ripple is what you could call a guilty pleasure TV series. It's neither incredibly fascinating nor so boring that you want to turn off the TV. It strikes the perfect balance, but add a dash of pain and hope, and you have an excellent series to enjoy during the holidays, when you just want to relax and be happy. The series is full of emotions, and that's what makes it so easy to watch.  The 8-episode series doesn't waste any time showing what it's trying to convey, what this "Ripple" is, and how all these characters are going to connect. I think it reminded me of when I first started watching soap operas like Grey's Anatomy. The tone of the series is very similar to those nostalgic soap operas. Plus, the presence of Ian Harding from Pretty Little Liars, with his gray...
