Roger a második világháború alatt árvult el, és sokáig úgy tudta, hogy az anyja London bombázásakor veszítette életét, RAF-pilóta apja pedig csata közben esett el.

When the previous Shiguma, Kiroku Kashiwaya, charms them with his art, they join his rakugo school, and he influences them to work hard and better themselves. But one day, everything changes… In recounting this story to Akane, Urara reveals the secret behind the birth of the Arakawa School. Will it change Akane’s perception on becoming Issho’s apprentice?

For Finn and his human allies, who have ended up at the center of this conflict through either circumstance or manipulation, this is an unprecedented opportunity.
