Summary[]
Akane is set to appear in the Zenza Renseikai, hoping to seize a chance to appear in the four-person event featuring a group of talented futatsume said to lead the next generation of the Arakawa School in rakugo. In order to get into the four-person event, she must come in first at the Renseikai. While Akane is considered a favorite to win, a familiar dark horse contestant appears—one driven by a recent bitter defeat at the hands of Akane.
In order to secure a spot in the four-person meeting, which will determine the next generation of the Arakawa School's second-in-command, Akane participated in the Zenza Renseikai. To be part of the four-person meeting, one must rank first in the training session. Akane, who was highly regarded as a top candidate for the first place, faced an unexpected dark horse and a fierce battle for the spot ensued when she made a comeback, having improved her skills through the experience of defeat.

Authors' Comments[]
I'm now a father! And my baby is adorable! Since the start of Akane-banashi, my life has been a whirlwind both publicly and privately, but I'm hanging in there!
To tell you the truth, the hardest character for me to draw is Akane herself. I almost never get her right the first time. I'm often redrawing her expressions or the curve of her hair. I want to be able to draw her more gracefully! Incidentally, the character I do draw the most gracefully is Guriko.
