The story goes like this. Akane Osaki’s father was a Rakugo performer, and he was passionate about his job. Akane loved nothing more than to watch her father perform. She was bewitched by every slight change in tone, every variation of pitch, and the comical or sentimental dialogue of the art, all performed expertly by her father.

And it was Tooru’s biggest dream to attain the top rank in Rakugo, and for that, he must pass a promotion test. For the test, he must perform in front of a live audience and a judge, who is a master in the art. Tooru attended the test and gave his best performance yet.

But, despite his impassioned and stunning performance, he was expelled from the Rakugo school. This was a huge blow for Tooru, and it made him give up on the art altogether. Heartbroken but accepting his fate, he started a normal job.

Akane, who was her father’s biggest fan, took this to her heart and was stricken by grief. But she didn’t mope around. Instead, she took it upon herself to teach the school and Issho Arakawa (the Master at the competition) the beauty of her father’s Rakugo style.

For that, she went to her father’s Rakugo instructor and beseeched him to teach her the art. The master, however, put her to the test and asked her to perform in front of an audience to see if she had the aptitude for Rakugo.

In the next class, though she researched, she couldn’t improve much on her performance and wondered what more she could do. An idea struck, and she decided to go meet her old friend Ozaki on a date as she couldn’t ask anyone else.
