The student rakugo competition known as the Karaku Cup
is about to begin. Akane immediately draws the attention of the
crowd with her connection to the Arakawa school's rising star
Kaisei Arakawa, Issho Arakawa's apprentice, and her own amazing
rakugo skills. With her ani-san Koguma's advice in her back pocket,
she figures out the key to winning the competition with "Jugemu," a
rakugo story famous for its long, repetitive tongue twister. But
she'll have to deal with impressive rivals with unique styles of
their own... Will she be able to overcome this battle of wills,
wits, and dreams?
