Synopsis

Yotaro became obsessed with the traditional comedy “shinigami.” Where did he see if for the first time? He saw it in prison! However he has never been able to forget how moved he way by the comedy so as soon as he gets out of prison, he goes immediately to the performer Yakumo and begs him to take Yotaro on as an apprentice. Shocking everyone around him, Yakumo accepts him.

Everything is beginning to look up for Yotaru and he even meets Konatsu, the daughter of a very famous storyteller who Yakumo took in when her father died. She wants nothing more than to be on the stage performing her father’s stories but the Rakugo stage is no place for a woman it seems...
