Description

Description

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 successfully performs the opening act for Master Shiguma’s solo show, but whispers of the story known as “Shiguma’s Art” leave her yearning to learn more. Suddenly, things take a turn for the worse when Master Shiguma collapses and the Shiguma School is forcefully disbanded! Akane’s new master is none other than the man who crushed her father’s dreams, Issho Arakawa. Finally, the story of what happened between Issho and Shiguma is brought to light—and an unexpected secret about Shiguma’s past is revealed!
