Akane Osaki, his daughter and biggest fan, spies on him while he practices and learns his routines for herself. When rakugo master Issho Arakawa expels everyone after the exam with no explanation, a fire is lit inside Akane. From that day forth, she has had one goal--to avenge her father and prove his art was worthy of the title of shin'uchi. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAkane successfully performs the opening act for Master Shiguma's solo show, but whispers of the story known as \"Shiguma's Art\" leave her yearning to learn more. But suddenly, things take a turn for the worse when Master Shiguma collapses and the Shiguma School is forcefully disbanded by the Arakawa School. And to Akane's horror, her new master is none other than the man who crushed her father's dreams--Issho Arakawa.
