The verdict
Senpai’s take
Season picksMust watchSpring 2026The most exhilarating underdog story in Jump: a girl vows to rise through the rakugo ranks after her father is expelled from his school. Ayumu Watanabe's direction conveys the art form's subtleties even better than the manga. The premiere needed more of the actual performance instead of onlookers analyzing it, which keeps it merely excellent rather than spellbinding.
