Mameda is a tanuki who was born in the wrong era—all she wants is to trick humans, but that age of tanuki shenanigans is over. But one woman, a rakugo master named Bunko, shows Mameda it’s still possible to cast magic on humans…only with words, not illusions. Mameda is determined to become Bunko’s apprentice, but can she convince the stoic master to take her on…?
Master Bunko is condemned by her fellow rakugo masters for taking an apprentice under her wing. Mameda will have to earn the approval of these distinguished masters if she want to stay with Bunko. It's up to her to save the house of Daikokutei!
