| book description |

Akane takes on the world of rakugo to avenge her father! Shinta Arakawa wants nothing more than to pass his shinâ€™uchi examâ€”the test that would make him a top-rank headliner and master storyteller in the traditional Japanese art of rakugo. 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 goalâ€”to avenge her father and prove his art was worthy of the title of shinâ€™uchi. Akane successfully performs the opening act for Master Shigumaâ€™s solo show, but whispers of the story known as â€œShiguma's Artâ€ leave her yearning to learn more. Suddenly, things take a turn for the worse when Master Shiguma collapses and the Shiguma School is forcefully disbanded! Akaneâ€™s new master is none other than the man who crushed her fatherâ€™s dreams, Issho Arakawa. Finally, the story of what happened between Issho and Shiguma is brought to lightâ€”and an unexpected secret about Shigumaâ€™s past is revealed!
