Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju

昭和元禄落語心中 〜助六再び篇〜

After a decade apprenticed to the eighth-generation Yakumo, Yotaro is promoted to shin'uchi and inherits the stage name Sukeroku, taking it up as live rakugo struggles to hold an audience. He steps in as a husband to Konatsu, now a single mother, and tries to honor the name of her late father. When a magazine exposes his past as an ex-convict and former yakuza, the scandal shakes the rakugo world and his standing within it. This second season continues the previous season's story.
