Description

In Akane-banashi, Vol. 16, Akane Osaki dives into the world of rakugo to avenge her father and prove that his art was worthy of the shin’uchi title. Her father, Shinta Arakawa, desires above all to pass the shin’uchi exam, which would make him a top-rank master storyteller in the traditional Japanese art of rakugo. Akane, his biggest fan, secretly watches him practice and learns his routines for herself. When rakugo master Issho Arakawa expels everyone after the exam without explanation, a fire ignites inside Akane, giving her a life-long goal.

As children, Issho and Shiguma were trapped in poverty, doing odd jobs, getting into fights, and behaving nothing like the professional rakugoka they would become. When the previous Shiguma, Kiroku Kashiwaya, charms them with his art, they join his rakugo school and are inspired to work hard and improve themselves. But everything changes when Urara reveals to Akane the secret behind the birth of the Arakawa School, which may alter her view on becoming Issho’s apprentice. This volume also includes the one-shot “Tatarashido”, a story about stand-up comedy from fun-loving high schoolers
