Akane-banashi #8 just came out, and fans had plenty to say.
The voice acting and subtle character shifts are so on point, I'm genuinely losing my mind over how good this adaptation is turning out.

Today's "Ima!" is all about Karashi!
Commenter
That was totally the voice of Renmake Karashi!
Commenter
Ex-communicated old man is kinda cute tho (🏻 ᴖ ̫ ᴖ)♡
Commenter
It's starting! Ex-communication gramps lol
Commenter
"Ex-communication gramps"—kinda a casual way to put it, tbh.
Commenter
My mom's got a bone to pick with this ex-communicated old man too.
Commenter
Akane's battle-freak genes totally came from her mom.
Commenter
"Why is my name Akane?" Well, we are talking about names in rakugo, after all...
Commenter
Akane's name origin is gonna be key for Jugemu in the main tournament.
Commenter
I'm actually super curious about where Akane got her name.
Commenter
Mother-daughter convos right from the start!! Love it ☺️
Commenter
The kappore dance part is honestly the best.
Commenter
Her cheeks puffing up during kappore is so cute.
Commenter
There's just something you only get from the chorus.
Commenter
Did she ask about the origin of her name specifically to perform Jugemu? 🤔
Commenter
I was wondering who that was at first, but it's Issho Isshotei—wait, Issho Arakawa!
Commenter
What a punchy mom. 😃
Commenter
Shut up! I know that already!
Commenter
He's doing Jugemu *because* he's playing to win, fr...
Commenter
Is he actually throwing the match away with that Jugemu tho?
Commenter
Doing Jugemu already has me like _(:3」∠)_
Commenter
Karashi thinking Akane's "throwing the match" since she's doing the same bit as the preliminaries.
Commenter
Wait, is Guriko in disguise here?? 😂
Commenter
What even is that outfit? Fashionable?
Commenter
I totally want that 8TSAN hoodie.
Commenter
Even by accident, that ain't fashion w
Commenter
Guriko and Koguma's disguises are way too cute 😹 And busted instantly lol.
Commenter
The older brothers' disguises are grass, fake mustaches and all lmao.
Commenter
Koguma-niisan is so goddamn cute ♥
Commenter
Disguised Guriko and Koguma are too cute ww
Commenter
Come to think of it, early Karashi was such an unlikable lil shit...
Commenter
Guriko-niisan and Koguma-niisan got busted by Akane right away lmao.
Commenter
The Shiguma school is as fun as ever.
Commenter
Sensei heard it too, rip...
Commenter
Iwashimizu-sensei is a full-on supporter now.
Commenter
...Could that be Renmake Karashi...? 🤔
Commenter
Such a thoughtful, good teacher tho.
Commenter
Finally figured out what that expression meant.
Commenter
Hirata-san is legendary for his ojisan voice.
Commenter
He acts all aloof, but... this guy is an absolute beast toohh.
Commenter
Isshiki-sensei is the ultimate balancer for the school.
Commenter
I low-key wanna hear Hirata-san do some rakugo.
Commenter
Hiroaki Hirata's voice fits way too well.
Commenter
Massive Minto—so topical lol I literally carry lemon-flavored ones too 🍋
Commenter
Isshiki-sensei~! I wanna hear his kokuza so bad......
Commenter
The Four Heavenly Kings of Arakawa sound insane...
Commenter
Isshiki-sensei is basically a chronically exhausted dad and balancer.
Commenter
Isshiki-sensei is peak cool-uncle material! So badass..
Commenter
Isshiki-sensei is basically the swordsman uncle. Peak I-animation crossover, fr.
Commenter
"Isshiki" is a pretty cool name ngl.
Commenter
True tho... he's more like thinning out his enemies.
Commenter
He's like, "Well, the guy's mellowed out a bit now."
Commenter
Manju is scary, but the master is scarier.
Commenter
"That was a good kokuza." Issho smiling like that is peak comedy lol.
Commenter
Hard to believe this guy is the ex-communication gramps w
Commenter
Comments coming in right in the middle of the tournament.
Commenter
Is this seriously the same person?
Commenter
Issho-sensei is changing his character way too much www
Commenter
So nice of him... totally different from practice.
Commenter
Super nice to amateurs, of course.
Commenter
Stop trying to fix the TV by smacking it, what is this, the Heisei era w?
Commenter
He's got a totally different face for inside and out...
Commenter
Issho-sensei's eyes aren't smiling at all...
Commenter
When Issho is praising someone, it usually means they suck.
Commenter
Ah, the "appealing to the youth" vibe ^^
Commenter
So kind of him... As if he actually means it lol.
Commenter
Calling him out for wearing a cat mask means they actually get how Issho operates.
Commenter
That annoying vibe is just 100% Karashi.
Commenter
Akane hearing "capital" and immediately thinking of chiffon cake is too cute.
Commenter
Pretty sure Karashi and Akane didn't interact here in the manga tho.
Commenter
Guessing she's saying naive stuff cuz she's still an amateur.
Commenter
The ultimate self-reliable mindset ✍🏻
Commenter
Jugemu-chan w Gotta believe in yourself—believe in the you that believes in you!
Commenter
There is literally no better buff in life than self-esteem.
Commenter
Self-esteem buffs... unshakeable confidence... these little lines hit different.
Commenter
Karashi actually making some good points for once?
Commenter
"The confidence to shut up those folks blabbering about classics and tradition," huh.
Commenter
Karashi... always going out of his way to be a little shit 😅
Commenter
We finally get to hear Karashi's rakugo in the anime...!!!
Commenter
Wonder what kind of performance Eguchi-san's gonna pull off 🤭
Commenter
Makes you wonder if he's got family members named "Wasabi" or something.
Commenter
Let's... change the era, shall we!??
Commenter
Bro, he ain't an idol or anything.
Commenter
Doesn't seem like *just* an annoying guy though.
Commenter
So hyped for Karashi-kun's rakugo!
Commenter
His tone being all nice is low-key creeping me out tho lmao.
Commenter
Show us some new-school rakugo, Karashi-kun (holds up fan)
Commenter
I'll show you what new rakugo really looks like!!
Commenter
Crazy how even the background characters like Sensei and Hikari add so much flavor when they look plain at first.
Commenter
Hype hook right into the commercial break!
Commenter
Ahhhhh—that Part A ending tho!!
Commenter
Karashi's rakugo is about to start!!
Commenter
Probably not what we need right now, tbh.
Commenter
Wonder what kind of kokuza he's gonna pull off.
