From a young age, Akane Osaki was mesmerized by her father, Shinta Arakawa, and his captivating performances as a rakugo storyteller. But that childhood wonder shattered when she witnessed a disturbing event during what should have been his career-defining moment – his bid for the prestigious shin'uchi rank. Now, six years later, Akane is a determined high schooler with a singular goal: to follow in her father’s footsteps and rise through the fiercely competitive world of rakugo, ultimately achieving the very same master status he sought.
