Akane-banashi
And so, here begins a story.
A warm, character-driven coming-of-age drama about a high school girl pursuing mastery of rakugo, grounded in the beauty of traditional performance art and the weight of inherited trauma.
As a child, Akane witnesses a shocking event during her father's career-defining show. Now in high school, she vows to reach the art's highest rank.
