NHK's Anime World blog announced today that a TV anime adaptation of Aiko Koyama's Maiko-san chi no Makanai-san (A Caretaker at the Maiko Lodge) manga will be aired on NHK in the near future. A 30-second PV to introduce its first anime footage is now streamed on the site.
The manga has been serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday since December 2016 and has released 13 volumes, printing more than 700,000 copies so far. It won the publisher's 65th Manga Award for the shonen category in 2019.
Its story centers on 16-yea-old girl Kiyo, who left her hometown of Aomori after graduating from junior high school and came to Kyoto, originally to become a maiko (apprentice geisha). For lack of talent to become a maiko, she starts working as a caretaker at a Maiko lodge in the red-light district of Kyoto.
Further details of the anime including its staff and broadcast schedule will be announced at a later date.
