Akane takes on the world of rakugo to avenge her father!Shinta Arakawa wants nothing more than to pass his shinuchi 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 shinuchi.Akane is busy preparing for her promotion to futatsume, and the process is taking a lot longer than she expected. For Akanes final performance as a zenza, Shiguma entrusts her to be the opening act for his solo performance. Will Akane be able to prove shes grown enough to ascend to the next level? Especially with the extra pressure of knowing that Shiguma is one of the Arakawa Arch Four?
