あかね噺

Akane Ousaki has been fascinated by rakugo, traditional Japanese comedic storytelling, since childhood, watching her father Shinta Arakawa perform. During his crucial promotion exam to become a shin'uchi, the highest rank, he delivers a stellar performance, but the strict head judge Isshou Arakawa fails him, forcing Shinta to quit the art form.

Six years later, now a high school senior, Akane has been secretly practicing rakugo herself. By chance, she gets the opportunity to perform in front of an audience with the help of Shiguma Arakawa, her father's former teacher. Her impressive performance surprises everyone, and Shiguma takes her on as his apprentice. With his guidance, Akane sets out on a determined journey to become a shin'uchi and reclaim her family's honor.
