Aida Kaoru’s New Rakugo no Ko Manga Series Released

The official website of Comic Zenon magazine released mangaka Aida Kaoru’s new manga series Rakugo no Ko on January 31.

About Rakugo no Ko:
In the 30th year of the Showa era (1955), Japan, having lost much in the previous war, had achieved reconstruction. However, as entertainment diversified, rakugo’s popularity declined.
Amid this, a handsome young man, Hanaya Umenosuke, appeared like a comet in the rakugo world. The theatre was packed daily with audiences who came to see him. The patrons and the theatre managers alike showered him with attention. However, there was one thing he alone lacked as a rakugo performer…
This is the story of a boy who stands on stage despite having “no talent” and a girl who “has talent” but cannot step onto the stage.
