I really like Maiko-san Chi no Makanai-san. Not only is it a calm-yet-funny manga but it's also interesting in a real way. Imagine being 15 or 16 in today's world and binding yourself to a lifestyle where you can't have cell phones, computers, or even fast food (most of the time). You live in a dorm and when you show yourself in public you have to adopt the Japanese ideal female persona. They can't even use regular pillows because the Maiko hairstyle has to be maintained most of the time.
