Akane takes on the world of rakugo to avenge her father! Shinta
Arakawa wants nothing more than to pass his shin’uchi exam—the
test that would make him a top-rank headliner and master
storyteller in the traditional Japanese art of rakugo. Akane Osaki,
his daughter and biggest fan, spies on him while he practices and
learns his routines for herself. When rakugo master Issho Arakawa
expels everyone after the exam with no explanation, a fire is lit
inside Akane. From that day forth, she has had one goal—to avenge
her father and prove his art was worthy of the title of
shin’uchi. Akane accompanies her senior apprentice Kyoji to a
retirement home to perform as his zenza opening act before he takes
the stage. Her assignment is to offer rakugo that pleases the
audience in front of her. How will Akane be able to prove to Kyoji
that she has grown from his training? Later, she learns about a
rakugo competition for students. The presiding judge is none
other than Issho Arakawa—the man who banished Akane’s
father from the Arakawa school. Desperate to take part in the
competition, Akane must first seek permission from Master
Shiguma. He allows her to participate under one unique,
tongue-twisting condition…“Jugemu.”
