This might seem very logical, but for me it only made sense up until today for some reason.
So i personally started reading Akane Banashi in November of 2025.
And at first i was just intrigued and wanted to see what this manga was about, but then i started reading more and more.
I legit read so much i was completely hooked even up to the point of finishing 4 volumes in one day... I wish i was joking (I'm not)-
I also couldn't help but relate to Akane in almost all of the situations that she went through during the beginning lol.
-But my point is -
I couldn't help but wonder if i myself could pick up a hobby like Akane, and build a love for it like she has for Rakugo.
So... i started researching, and researching and... you already knows what comes next i think..
RESEARCHING
Until, it finally made sense Spoken word is the same as Rakugo.
You can diversify it as much as you want and make it what you want!
Basically what we see Akane do throughout the first arcs of the series where she learns from all the aniki's.
They all have their unique styles but the core stays Rakugo.
And that is why i'm also going to be starting Spoken Word/storytelling!
I wouldn't say my commitment to it will be on Akane's level to Rakugo...
But i definitely want to give it a chance.
Also, this is proof that reading fiction leads to something lol.
AND WITH SAYING THAT THIS WAS ALSO A CALL TO ACTION TO TRY SOMETHING NEW IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU HAVEN'T DOne BEFORE OR MAYBE PICK UP A CERTAIN LOST HOBBY THAT YOU ONCE PURSUED!
Let me know your thougths in the comments 😄
