Descending Stories: Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

10 volumes

Licensed by Kodansha, also on Azuki and INKR Comics

A hapless young man is released from prison with nothing to his name, but he knows exactly what he wants: to train in the art of rakugo comedic storytelling. After seeing an unforgettable performance from one of Japan’s greatest masters, Yakumo Yurakutei VIII, during his time in jail, he will settle for nothing less than to become apprentice to the best. Yakumo, notorious for taking no students, is persuaded to take him on, and nicknames him Yotaro���the fool. Yotaro has no formal training or elegance, but something about his charisma reminds Yakumo of someone from his past. Note: Won an Excellence Award for manga at the 17th Japan Media Arts Festival Awards in 2013. Won the 38th Kodansha Manga Award for Best General Manga in 2014. Won the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize for New Creators in 2017.

always learn something new logging into my old acc. the kumota quote joke post having 250 notes also surreal but in that case well i feel like the yaoi economy has really expanded on here since i posted that so i guess it makes sense.

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu’s present timeline is set starting arouuuuund 1984 (assuming young Shin is 5 years old at the end of the series in 1989). SGRS is written by an author who comes from a shoujo/female-targeted manga background.

The Year 24 group kicked off a new wave of shoujo in the ‘70s that focused on more transgressive themes, crime and violence, gender ambiguity, age gaps, deliberately unhealthy relationships, pseudo- or actual incest, doom and tragedy, etc. that continued went strong into the early ‘80s with creators like Yoshida Akimi and Saitou Chiho. Not all, but many popular 00s-10s shoujo have toned down these elements since then. SGRS pulls tropes from the shoujo playbook of the classics that no longer saw a lot of use by the time that manga started being published, but were in swing in the time period where it’s set. SGRS us firmly rooted in the past and does that by imitating the narratives in vogue in the time where it’s set.
