Synopsis

Akane Osaki is an elementary school student who cheers on her father Toru, a struggling rakugo performer known on stage as Arakawa Shinta. At his test for promotion to the highest rank, however, Arakawa Issho, head of the school, expels him. Toru gives up rakugo, and Akane resolves to become a master performer to vindicate him. She apprentices under her father’s teacher Arakawa Shiguma. Six years later, in her final year of high school, she makes her stage debut as a substitute for an opening act. Encountering professionals such as Arakawa Kaisei strengthens her determination to enter the profession.
