AKANE-BANASHI, VOL. 14

When her father Shinta is unfairly expelled from the world of rakugo, Japan's traditional art of comedic storytelling, after failing his final promotion exam, teenager Akane Osaki vows to succeed where he could not. Determined to clear her father's name and prove his talent was never lacking, Akane throws herself into the demanding, tradition-bound world of professional rakugo performance. As she rises through the ranks, she must master an art built on subtlety, timing, and captivating an audience using nothing but her voice, a fan, and a hand towel. This volume continues her journey toward the top of a fiercely competitive craft.
