isn't it kind of weird that they're not allowed cellphones? I mean, even if some of them are not adults, they're already working. And it's not about them living traditionally or refusing technology, they have a TV.
It's more about dedication and commitment, I think. Picture your average teenage girls. If they all lived together with cellphones they wouldn't be half as friendly or half as dedicated to practicing moves. That way, the apprentices can be fully focused on what they want to do - those who can't survive without the tech drop out.
That seems to be the case. I had a Japanese friend who is Kyoto origin. He told me once that one of his friends was a maiko. He said even in modern world there are still a lot of restrictions for maiko. I already forgot what they are all that he told me, but 1 that i keep remember is about the hairstyle that they have to wear for days Σ( ￣□￣||) And i agree about that cellphone things. Maybe the reason is to keep the girls dedicated to their works. You know how most teenage girls with their cellphones tend to be. By reading this manga i gain more information about the world of maiko. A jewel!
I hope he won't kiss him when he's asleep, and drunk on top of that :/ I hate it when I read a cute manga and there's a non-consensual event and they just brush over it. Like "it's okay, he loves him" well even if you love someone and they love you, and even if you're dating, you still need them to give their consent. You can't just decide for them that they want it. Why not make them kiss when he's awake, sober and willing? That would be much cuter in my opinion.
