Akane-banashi, Vol. 6 by Yuki Suenaga takes you into the competitive world of rakugo, a traditional Japanese art form of comedic storytelling.

Shinta Arakawa aspires to pass his shin’uchi exam, the crucial step to becoming a top-ranked headliner and master storyteller in rakugo. His devoted daughter, Akane Osaki, observes him practising and internalises his routines. The unexpected expulsion of all participants by rakugo master Issho Arakawa after the exam ignites a determination in Akane to avenge her father and prove his artistry deserved the shin’uchi title.

In her pursuit, Akane begins training with rakugo master Urara for the forthcoming Rokumeikai, where each contestant must present a newly mastered story. With limited time left, Akane faces a challenge: if she cannot master a new story, she will be barred from performing. What clues will guide Akane in portraying the enchanting courtesan in the story Urara suggests?

Amidst her preparation, Kaisei arrives with intriguing news that could affect Akane profoundly...
