Hello, I'm new here, and have particularly signed up here because frankly, I've exhausted every other place I've thought to look. Google is of no help. (No surprise there...)

Anyway I'll get to the point.
I am looking for a manga. The basic premise involves a maid. However she isn't exactly a traditional maid, in the sense. She is a young woman who often wears her kimono, (or yukata, not sure)
and works as a live in maid helping out a mangaka... Or he could have been a novelist. I can't remember correctly.
It is a nice slice of life story. I think the manga had only one or two volumes out however.. Or was it chapters? ... Either way, I would really appreciated if anyone had any information on this.

I've tried asking yahoo answers, but no one seems to know. Have tried myanimelist, and same result.
I ask here, because this was the last place I remember reading information on it.
I checked out the search options here, but I still couldn't find anything related. I will have to keep searching one by one I guess. For anything remotely related to a slice of life manga about a maid...
I know it's here somewhere.. It has too be...

Again, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

One other thing. I think I remember in one of the earlier chapters, she had been soaking her feet in a barrel, and in comes a puppy and startles her as she gets out. She proceeds to try and get back into the house, but she somehow falls over and the puppy begins licking her feet. Which in turn, makes her laugh, and squirm, driving her to tears.

(Yes, I have a foot fetish, and that scene is particularly memorable for me. Not that there was anything sexual about it. Just seemed very cute to me.)

Well, anyway, thanks again for any help.

Do you happen to remember any other details? A demographic would be helpful. I'm assuming it's not hentai/shouta/loli/yaoi/yuri, so I ruled those out. I did some searching around, and the only two "kimono maid" series I could find were:

Chikutaku Bonbon
Toukyou Lastochika

Is it either of those? If not, someone else might know better than I do. ^^; Best of luck searching!

Hello, thank you for your reply.
No, it wasn't either. But thank you for your help..

No, it isn't hentai or any of the related genres.
Although, I think it might have been seinin? I'm rather doubtful of that though. I do know it was slice of life. It is a nice little slice of life story about a maid who tends to the house of a manga artist. But so far, the details I've listed above are all could remember. Mainly the part about her feet being licked by the puppy...

Well anyway, I appreciate the help. Thank you for your response.
Hopefully others have some insight as well..

On another note, she does remind me of Aoi, from Ai Yori Aoshi. But that doesn't exactly add anything of relevance to the search... I'm still looking though. I know it has to be here...
