RECAP & SPOILERS: Akane-banashi Chapter 80 Suggests Akane Has Qualities of Rakugo Star
The compelling journey of Akane Osaki has been easily enjoyable thanks to Akane’s natural charm. She’s funny, energetic, and deeply sympathetic while consistently willing to learn. Faced with the surprise revelation that Chocho Konjakutei and his Willy Wonka-esque introduction, she discovers a different side to her father in the process and sees the man’s magnetic charm as different from her father’s. How did they get along? Akane interacts with him, and it’s clear that he sees her father’s essence in how she performs.
But beyond that, we see Chocho greet a roaring audience awaiting his arrival on the stage. He’s got adoring fans to the point where everybody around him wants to meet him, suggesting true star power. To Akane’s surprise, at the end of the chapter, it’s revealed that, unlike her father, she seems to show that same quality herself. Perhaps Chocho will be the key to Akane truly stepping up her game.
