After his release from prison, a man driven by a love for a rakugo performance of “Shinigami” seeks apprenticeship with the famed storyteller Yakumo. Though Yakumo has never taken a pupil, he accepts the eager newcomer, dubbing him Yotaro. Yotaro enters the world of traditional comic storytelling, meeting Yakumo’s ward Konatsu—daughter of a legendary performer whom Yakumo rescued after her father’s death.
