Joshiraku OVA

Marii's knack for choosing the wrong moment gives her fellow performers another subject to dissect backstage. Knowing when to speak, pause or leave something alone proves far harder than their casual conversation first suggests.

The five rakugo performers venture out into the world of books and publishing before another discussion turns toward concentration and its meanings. Word associations and increasingly unlikely connections carry them away from their starting points, with familiar rivalries ensuring that even a quiet chat never remains entirely peaceful.
