Today, Netflix announced it would expand its catalog of original Japanese live-action television with The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House. The series is written and directed by showrunner Hirokazu Kore-eda.

The eight-episode drama is a live-action adaptation of mangaka Aiko Koyama’s best-selling manga Maiko-san Chi no Makanai-san (variously translated as Maiko in Kyoto: From the Maiko House, Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House or Makanai in the Maiko Lodge). The manga began serialization in  Weekly Shonen Sunday in 2016 and was awarded the Best Shōnen Manga award at the publisher’s 65th Shogakukan Manga Awards.
