Akane-banashi

Akane Ousaki has always watched her father's Rakugo performances with admiration and imitated them. In Rakugo there are three ranks: Zenza (the lowest), Futatsume, and Shin'uchi. Akane's father is a Futatsume. He sits the Shin'uchi exam, but along with the others who take it, he is branded a failure and expelled from the rakugo school. Enraged by this, Akane throws herself even more into rakugo and works to show everyone how wonderful her father's rakugo is. Years later, she asks her father's former master to train her. First she is put to a test: her very first live performance. Auto-translated from Turkish
