Fans are talking about Akane-banashi #5 — here's what they had to say.
Watching Akane totally flip her uptight teacher's perspective using nothing but pure passion for rakugo is just too satisfying.

Commenter
LETS FCKING GOOOOO
Commenter

Commenter
lowkey love the puffy face she makes in the op for a split second
Commenter
poor Kyoji getting done dirty like that 💀
Commenter
well, she *does* have friends, surprisingly
Commenter
wait, does that mean her grades were straight up failing till now...
Commenter
moms about to go absolutely ballistic
Commenter
wtf even is that job lol
Commenter
I mean the teacher's got a point, but Akane already thought this through and talked it out with her fam and master, so
Commenter
Left her on read wwww I mean fair, if you're gonna be a rakugoka college is kinda useless. Still, the teacher's prejudice against rakugo is wild tho...
Commenter
I mean yeah, as a homeroom teacher hearing your student wanna do rakugo must be... a lot lol
Commenter
that shoujo manga face tho 😂
Commenter
holy shit that was the fat kid?!
Commenter
attacking people using their weaknesses smh 😭
Commenter
thought her mental was completely shattered from the career talk and then she snaps right back to this energy 🪭
Commenter
stop going over to bother her wwww
Commenter
typical Iwasa behavior lol
Commenter
OHHH so that's why it's called "The Path Ahead". Makes sense now
Commenter
calling him Kenji? damn this kid's smooth
Commenter
u telling me she aint never read Night on the Galactic Railroad?? fr??
Commenter
this part is way too good
Commenter
okay but Akane's expressions this week are just too freakin cute
Commenter
typical nerd yapping non-stop the second they get to talk about their special interest 💀
Commenter
im not a monster!!
Commenter
crashed and burned instantly ngl
Commenter
and her bluff got exposed rip
Commenter
Shuei University?!
Commenter
A MONSTER LMAOOOOOOOOOO
Commenter
that emotional damage is unreal
Commenter
giggling and whispering to yourself all alone during class is wild behavior ngl
Commenter
her attitude during class is so atrocious lmao no wonder the teacher is like wtf are you on about
Commenter
not that she's totally against it, but she gotta guide her students so I totally get the teacher's struggle here
Commenter
Sensei... she actually cares about every single student and thinks hard about all their futures. Absolute respect ngl
Commenter
Is this a date!? ...and rejected instantly F
Commenter
LOOK AT HER!! LOOK AT OUR AKANE!! AND LOOK AT JUMBO WHO BELIEVES IN HER!!!!
Commenter
it's not like we're strangers or anything
Commenter
Jumbo dropping actual wisdom there ngl
Commenter
if you actually give a damn about your students, go see it for yourself!
Commenter
used to have a student who dreamed of becoming a comedian too ngl
Commenter
of course she's gonna try to stop Akane after having a former student crash and burn so hard, can't even blame her tbh
Commenter
Akane: "So actually we got a special guest today. Meet Jumbo my frenemy, and Iwasa my homeroom teacher. My bad, can I get two spotlights please?" Jumbo: "!?" Iwasa: "!?"
Commenter
did the vibe just crush her completely lol
Commenter
is that the Wall of Ice... no, the Ice Queen standing right in front of Anna Nagase's CV??
Commenter
TENSHIKI LET'S FCKING GOOOOOO 🔥
Commenter
Tenshiki is the main rakugo piece this time eh
Commenter
Wait, Akane bluffing about reading books right in front of her teacher earlier wasn't in the manga right? Such a genius original anime setup to hype up this "Tenshiki" bit!!
Commenter
Had a teacher just like Iwasa back in high school. Always arguing with students who wanted to go to vocational school instead of a 4-year uni lol
Commenter
fr tho, the voice actor's rakugo practice is paying off so hard it's insane
Commenter
when someone's a perfectionist having helpers is kinda annoying, but you gotta appreciate them still showing up to help out
Commenter
went in thinking "let's see how good this teacher's rakugo is after talking all that big game" and ended up getting completely mesmerized lol classic
Commenter
"OH YOU MEAN SAKAZUKI!"
Commenter
the sheer nerve of speaking in front of a crowd, especially with people you know there... insane respect
Commenter
Tenshiki is literally my favorite
Commenter
but fr tho, Edo period commoners were totally obsessed with farts weren't they (learned way too much about that last year lol)
Commenter
the animation on her movements while talking is nuts... this show is wild
Commenter
couldn't agree more... I still got a long way to go myself...
Commenter
"Aren't you ashamed of telling such a lie? I don't give a fart."
Commenter
Choice 1: Rak Choice 2: Ugo Choice 3: Master
Commenter
it's fine, Fujii Sota dropped out of high school too (okay bad comparison lol)
Commenter
good for you, Akane.
Commenter
lmao I love how she filled that out wwww
Commenter
oh damn, once you get through to her she's gonna go 120% all-in to support you...
Commenter
Student Rakugo Championship and the judge is literally Issho Arakawa wtf
Commenter
IT'S HERE!! THE KARAKU CUP!!
Commenter
Anna Nagase's Tenshiki is ridiculously convincing wtf. had to start clapping fr 👏👏
Commenter
wait this fated clash is happening WAY earlier than I thought...!?
Commenter
bro the final boss showing up way too early lmao
Commenter
love how the highlight just smoothly slides right out of her eyes in that cut. Bringing Master Issho Arakawa to a student contest is literally gonna extinct all future rakugokas tho 💀
Commenter
teacher doing all that research beforehand is an absolute G for real
Commenter
MANJU IS SCARYYYY
Commenter
It's called the Karaku Cup, but does master Sanshotei Karaku even exist in Akane's universe too lol
Commenter
woah did not see that coming, happening way sooner than expected fr
Commenter
pacing is so damn good, feels effortless yet hits every single beat. Such a crazy engaging and solid anime ngl
Commenter
tbh given how that went down, inviting him is just asking for bad vibes. Since we're early in the episode count she probably won't even score a win yet, is this gonna be a rage-inducing episode?
Commenter
Keisuke Kuwata apparently loves dirty jokes, but I bet "Suzufuri", "Otamagyu", and especially "Kinya-me" ain't ever gonna be the theme song lol
Commenter
Teacher got totally sucked into Tenshiki. Akane's a dreamer who knows how to make people smile! 😊💕✨ Her path is set as a rakugoka and she's walking the talk! And now she's invited to a rakugo tourney! But the head judge is Issho Arakawa! Oh lord that's terrifying! Super hyped for ep 6 Temple School! 😃🎶
Commenter
putting everything you got on the line to make a tough opponent finally crack a nod—another absolute banger of a 30 min that flew right by
Commenter
over in a blink... I say this every time, but the facial expressions and body language during the rakugo scenes have so much immersion, it really feels like they're conveying the whole vibe of rakugo, not just the lines. absolutely love it
Commenter
called it!! You can actually see Akane growing up ☺️
Commenter
Jumbo is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita– wait no, Tomokazu-san? Ah, Tomokazu Seki? No wait, Tomokazu-- wait, it's Hiroki Yasumoto? Ah, Fukushi Ochiai! (My brain is fried)
