Akane-banashi 2nd Season

After graduating from high school, Akane Osaki is formally accepted as a disciple of Shiguma Arakawa and takes the professional name Akane Arakawa. Her years of secret practice have brought her to the entrance of the rakugo world, but talent alone cannot carry her through the demanding life of a zenza apprentice.

Akane must learn the discipline behind the stage while serving senior performers, studying unfamiliar masters, and refining how she makes a story live before an audience. Every task brings her closer to shin'uchi, yet also reveals how much she still has to understand about the art and herself.
