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 is busy preparing for her promotion to futatsume, and the process is taking a lot longer than she expected. For Akane’s final performance as a zenza, Shiguma entrusts her to be the opening act for his solo performance. Will Akane be able to show how much she’s grown and prove she’s worthy of taking the next step? Especially with the extra pressure of knowing that Shiguma is one of the Arakawa School Arch Four?
