Akane-banashi

あかね噺

✍️ REVIEWED★★★★★

Tokyo Anime Take

My absolute favorite this season. That said, I'm honestly not sure if the theme of rakugo will resonate with overseas audiences. Since it's a subject with very little action, the quality of the direction is key, and the direction here is truly superb. As expected of a flagship series in Weekly Shonen Jump, it's incredibly polished.

A first-hand take from Tokyo

"With only your voice and body—master the art." Akane Ousaki, captivated since childhood by the magical performances of her father, Shinta Arakawa, witnesses a shocking incident during his decisive performance for promotion to shin’uchi (master rank). Six years later, now a high school student, she sets her sights on becoming a shin’uchi herself—pushing forward in the highly competitive world of rakugo. A passionate and authentic rakugo drama begins now!
