Akane-banashi Akane-banashi

Bachpan se hi, Akane Ousaki ko apne papa, Tooru, ko rakugo ki practice aur performance karte dekhna bohot pasand tha, jo ki traditional Japanese comedic storytelling ka ek form hai. Rakugo performers ko teen ranks mein baanta gaya hai, jismein sabse high rank ‘shinuchi’ hota hai, jo sirf un best performers ko milta hai jo ek mushkil promotion test pass karte hain. Jab Tooru ye exam deta hai, toh Akane dekhti hai ki uske papa bheed aur judges ke saamne ek zabardast performance dete hain, lekin strict main judge, Isshou Arakawa, phir bhi unhe fail kar deta hai, jiski wajah se unhe rakugo chhodna padta hai.

Tab se, Akane khud bhi bohot lagan se rakugo ki practice kar rahi hai. Ab high school mein senior hai, aur ittefaq se usey Shiguma Arakawa, jo Tooru ke pehle teacher the, unki madad se ek bheed ke saamne perform karne ka mauka milta hai. Uski shandaar performance sabko hairan kar deti hai aur ye toh bas shuruaat hai: Shiguma usey apna naya apprentice bana lete hain, aur unki madad se, Akane apne papa ki jagah ek shinuchi banne ka safar shuru karti hai.
