<p>Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju volume 3 features story and art by Haruko Kumota.</p> <p>The last great rakugo storyteller of the Showa Era, Yakumo Yurakutei, continues to tell his apprentice, Yotaro, of the promise he made to his late best friend and rival, Sukeroku. As both men work towards their debut as shin’uchi, they are left to confront what drives them forward – for Sukeroku, it’s to create a path for the future of rakugo, and for Kikuhiko, it’s to discover a rakugo that’s uniquely his own. Can he and Sukeroku continue to walk the same path, or will their journey through the world of rakugo together be severed?</p> <div style="text-align:center;"> <a href="https://devstore.crunchyroll.com/products/descending-stories-showa-genroku-rakugo-shinju-manga-volume-2-9781632364708.html" onblur="this.style.outline='2px solid transparent';" onfocus="this.style.outline='2px solid #000000';" style="display:inline-block; width:180px; margin:10px; padding:10px 20px; background-color:#fab818; color:#000000; text-decoration:none; border-radius:5px; font-weight:bold; text-align:center; outline: 2px solid transparent; font-size:16px;" aria-label="Go to previous volume in series">&larr; Previous Volume</a> <a href="https://devstore.crunchyroll.com/products/descending-stories-showa-genroku-rakugo-shinju-manga-volume-4-9781632364722.html" onblur="this.style.outline='2px solid transparent';" onfocus="this.style.outline='2px solid #000000';" style="display:inline-block; width:180px; margin:10px; padding:10px 20px; background-color:#fab818; color:#000000; text-decoration:none; border-radius:5px; font-weight:bold; text-align:center; outline: 2px solid transparent; font-size:16px;" aria-label="Go to next volume in series">Next Volume &rarr;</a> </div>
