For young Akane, her father Toru is endowed with incredible power: sitting alone on stage, he is capable of giving life to a multitude of different characters, armed only with a fan and a square of fabric! Toru practices rakugo, a popular form of comedy performance that originated hundreds of years ago but is still alive today. Despite the mockery of those around him, he dreams of reaching the rank of master. The pressure is even greater as he does not want to disappoint his wife, his lifelong supporter, nor especially his daughter Akane... She admires him to the point of imitating him, rehearsing the rakugo scenes in secret! On the day of the final grade exam, the bar is set high: it is no less than the famous Issho Arakawa, undisputed master of the discipline, who plays the role of juror. Toru gives a remarkable performance, the room bursts into laughter! And yet, Issho declares him unworthy of the title... Worse, he banishes him for life from the world of rakugo, without any explanation! Toru's career as an artist is shattered, without anyone understanding the reason... but Akane takes up the torch, determined to make her dream come true and discover the truth behind this scandal! Acclaimed by the biggest names in manga and animation, such as Eiichiro Oda (One Piece) or Hideaki Anno (Neon Genesis Evangelion), Akane-banashi has been a true phenomenon from the start of its publication in the legendary Shonen Jump (My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen…)! No one can remain indifferent to the communicative energy of Akane, this ultra-modern heroine adept at an ancestral art!
