Misaki M. Studio

Misaki M. Studio is the shop owned by Misaki's aunt, Yukiyo, where she sells her hand-made dolls. Her mother, Amane, also works here as a receptionist. This location was first seen in episode 2, when Kouichi was stalking Mei. After this, he often comes here. It's one of the first location introduced in the series and also one of the most important. The studio has 2 rooms painted in black and filled with Kirika's dolls.

Trivia

 * Amane revealed the fact that they don't have young customers and she made Kouichi an offer.
 * Also, in the OVA it is revealed that Misaki Fujioka liked very much the doll shop.
 * In the original novel, Kirika's dolls are a mix of female and male. Also, the doll in the coffin that looks like Mei has reddish-brown hair, and is not a life-size doll (slightly smaller) that wears a light colored dress.
 * Early in the series Mei revealed the fact that the doll which resembles her was meant to resemble one of the twins that Yukiyo lost during her pregnancy.
 * In the novel, Kouichi’s discovery of Kirika’s museum is after he goes to the hospital and asks Mizuno about the name of the female patient who died. He is looking for a place to eat and also runs into Kirika (who is walking up the stairs to her workshop).  He does not go in though until he follows Mei a few days later.
