あかね噺

Akane Ousaki has been captivated by rakugo ever since she was a child, spending hours watching and mimicking her father Tooru's performances. Tooru is a talented storyteller whose only goal is to ascend to the top rank of shin'uchi. However, his dreams are shattered when he fails a crucial promotion test and is expelled from his rakugo school, forcing him to abandon the art form entirely.

Devastated by her father's resignation, Akane decides to enter the world of rakugo herself. She seeks out her father's former master, Shiguma Arakawa, and begs him to take her as an apprentice. To prove her resolve, Shiguma challenges Akane to perform in front of an audience, testing whether she has what it takes to climb the ranks and uncover the truth behind her father's expulsion.
