Joshiraku OVA

Synopsis

Continues the story of Joshiraku

The story revolves around five young women who practice rakugo, a classic form of storytelling, and chronicles the strange events that occur in their daily lives. Their conversations are filled with humor and satire, touching on everything from ordinary aspects of daily existence to larger subjects like politics and manga. Each character brings a distinct perspective, leading to dialogues that consistently take surprising turns. The performers each possess a unique personality: the enthusiastic but immature Marii Buratei; the seemingly innocent Kigurumi Haroukitei; the naturally lucky and easygoing Tetora Bouhatei; the composed yet fierce Gankyou Kuurubiyuutei; and the gloomy and unpredictable Kukuru Anrakutei. Accompanying these girls is their mysterious masked friend. Together, they share their observations with the audience, whether backstage at the rakugo theater or at famous spots around Tokyo.
