Akane Takes on the World of Rakugo to Avenge Her Father!


Akane is finally able to show off her father's rakugo to the world, but in doing so, she discovers there was something lacking…which means there's a chance for his style and for herself to grow. After the four-person selection event, Kaisei has some harsh words for Akane, but they don't deter her from continuing on her path alongside Shiguma's other apprentices toward greater heights. Then, Akane is presented with the chance of a lifetime when a certain master who can help get her promoted to the rank of futatsume comes into the picture.

The Four-Person Selection Event


The four-person selection event is a crucial moment in Akane's journey to become a rakugo master. It is a competition that tests her skills, knowledge, and ability to perform in front of a live audience. The event is held at a prestigious rakugo theater, and the judges are some of the most respected rakugo masters in the country. Akane is nervous but determined to give her best performance.

The first round of the event is a solo performance. Akane takes the stage and performs her father's rakugo with passion and precision. She has practiced for months, and her performance is flawless. The judges are impressed, and they give her a score of 9 out of 10. However, Kaisei, one of the other apprentices, is not impressed. He criticizes Akane's performance, saying that it lacks depth and emotion. He believes that rakugo should be more than just a performance, but a way to connect with the audience. Akane is hurt by Kaisei's criticism, but she knows that she needs to improve. She decides to take Kaisei's advice and work harder to develop her skills.

The second round of the event is a group performance. Akane and her fellow apprentices perform a skit together. The skit is based on a traditional Japanese folktale, and it is filled with humor and drama. The judges are impressed, and they give the group a score of 9.5 out of 10. However, Kaisei again criticizes Akane's performance, saying that she is not as good as the other apprentices. Akane is frustrated, but she knows that she needs to keep working hard. She decides to take Kaisei's advice and work harder to develop her skills.

The third round of the event is a solo performance. Akane takes the stage again and performs her father's rakugo with even more passion and precision. She has worked hard to improve her skills, and her performance is flawless. The judges are impressed, and they give her a score of 10 out of 10. Kaisei is surprised by Akane's performance, and he congratulates her. He tells her that she has the potential to become a great rakugo master. Akane is overjoyed, and she knows that she has finally achieved her goal.

The Chance of a Lifetime


After the four-person selection event, Akane is presented with the chance of a lifetime. A certain master who can help get her promoted to the rank of futatsume comes into the picture. The master is a renowned rakugo master who has been performing for over 30 years. He has a unique style of rakugo that is different from Akane's father's style. Akane is excited to learn from the master, and she decides to take him up on his offer. The master takes Akane under his wing, and he teaches her everything he knows. He teaches her about the history of rakugo, the different types of rakugo, and the techniques that are used to perform it. He also teaches her about the importance of connecting with the audience.
