What Are Kagurabachi and Akane-banashi About?
In case you're not familiar, Kagurabachi focuses on Chihiro Rokuhira, the son of Kunishige Rokuhira, a renowned blacksmith who forged six enchanted blades that were instrumental in ending the Seitei War.
After years of hiding, the Rokuhiras were attacked by a group of sorcerers called the Hishaku. They murdered Kunishige and stole the enchanted blades. Chihiro embarked on a quest of vengeance against the Hishaku and reclaimed the blades.
Meanwhile, Akane-banashi centers on Akane, who has a love of rakugo, the ultimate form of storytelling where everything in a story is expressed with just your body and words.
Akane and her father bond over rakugo. After her father was expelled from the Arakawa School, Akane took on a quest to master the skill and prove that she had what it takes to reach the highest rank.
