When even Fatso and Hitler-Mustache Guy can't deny it, I think it worked.

To paraphrase:
"You couldn't hold the attention of literally every single person out of hundreds of audience members so my vote is 'no'"
Really? Like, really??? You've pretty much created an impossible standard if a rakugo performer wants a yes vote from you at all. @ Issho I hope you fall and break a hip!
Congrats Maikeru! Well deserved!
-
Oof, Afro-dude has a band-aid on his lip, I can't imagine how much that hurt.
And I'm calling it: Issho had his heart broken because his rakugo wasn't good enough, or something like that.
-
Shiguma is like one of the best Uncles out there.
-
Looks like we're in for some juicy lore and (rakugo) family drama! Can't wait!
-
I love these three.
-
This guy is like the best grandpa.
-
Shiguma's the best!
-
Definitely the best grandpa.
We haven't seen any indication that he had children/grandchildren, so his apprentices may very well be his children.
-
It's almost like being a fanfic writer and using crossovers.
-
it's just a seated elder babbling but it's INTENSE. Akane continues to be consistently good
-
I prefer funny rakugo, but when a storyteller is good then you get sucked in, funny or sad.
-
That spread with the photorealistic-ish scenery + the scraggly cartoon-ish god of death figure is
chef's kiss
Totally ups the freaky factor.
I love this manga so much -
Yeah that doublespread was unsettling, in a good way
-
Makes me think of how people would talk about H.P. Lovecraft, who would actually use more vague descriptions of his monsters so that readers' own imaginations could fill in the blanks with whatever they found the scariest.

@Satsuki said in Akane-banashi:

Yeah, sorry. As a Lovecraft fan that's not the reason. He was - aside the conceptual works of dreamworld and of eldritch horros - he was a very limited author.
For exemple his usage of non-euclidean as bigger on the inside than outside and weird angles when it merely means out of plane geometric forms. -
Well, now we know.
-
The coolest of cool masters.
It's funny about how lots of people joke about being "in the zone" for all sorts of activities, but this is a different kind of zone.
-
This backstory needs to be told. But how long will it be? Next week? Next month? Next year?
-
So what makes him such a stubborn old coot? Guilt.
-
"You've killed me." peaces out
(granted i don't know if those were OG shiguma's actual last words, but i would love it if they were) -
This felt like Yonkou making their moves in Early Piece, hype full galore!!
