Kyouraku no Mori no Alice

Alice, who was orphaned as a child, spent much of her life in the care of her aunt, enduring an abusive uncle along the way. At fifteen, she chooses to return to Kyoto, her hometown, with the goal of becoming a maiko and one day a geisha. However, upon her return, she discovers that the city has transformed significantly over the eight years she was away, feeling almost unrecognizable.
