>>282972934That's a very versatile sign, if you hold it with your fingers pointing up and palm pointing towards other person, then it becomes a sign for "ok", if you turn it so your thumb and index finger point down, and put the index finger of other hand through the hole, then everyone around you will start to giggle.
>>282973020More like kawaii-ya.
>>2829730206/10 needs improvement.
>>282973020Did /a/ die?
>>282973153Whoops, forgot the image.
>>282973160for a few minutes
>>282973160everyone dropped this boring garbagehave fun necrobumping it until it's time to sleep
>>282973160Seems /a/ is back
>>282973020>rakugo looks like thiszamn
>>282972752Was he wiping a tear from his eye
>>282973272
>>282973326That's a face of woman satisfied.
>>282973326>jobbers
>>282973326End
>>282973371Will she get 100 points from him?
>>282973319He was raising his glasses back up by placing his thumb on the bridge. Shomei is probably a robot in disguise.
>>282973395Yeah or something close to it
>>282973326Karashi was robbed
>>282973395Probably seven thousand million points, but who's counting and/or the real point is the story we tell along the way anyway.
Yea I can see this ending soon, with the rivals clearly defeated now and Issho seemingly satisfied, all that's left is to learn Shiguma's art and for her to beat Kaisei once.
>>282973605Still need Akane to face off against Kaisei.
>>282973507Dreadful fate of supporting cast, especially when MC becomes a Mary Sue that learns perfect storytelling in one night.
>>282973326>>282973371But wasn't the entire point that Akane didn't want to give up what she loved about rakugo just to impress Shomei?
>>282973326just kill them karashi. kill them all
>>282973684She had to impress Shomei to win and impress Issho. Maybe the story after this will be about Akane losing her soul and everything her buddies liked abut her as side-effect.
>>282973684That was childish and immature, akane has now matured learned true Rakugo.
>>282973406I feel like the final level of rakugo skill has to be a synthesis of both technique and personal flair. Like other anons have said if the performer disappears into the story then what's the point of having a performer in the first place, what makes it different from a recording
>>282973605Yeah, I can see it ending soon, but how many chapters does it need to finish?
>>282973966Not only that, without personal flair they would all sound more or less the same. To borrow their food analogy, people may love the taste of traditional ramen, but eating the same thing over and over, no matter how perfect, would just make it boring without a bit of experimentation on the side.
How much do you wanna bet glasses guy gives her top marks but she ends up losing because all the other judges aren't enlightened enough and score her lower than snek?
>>282974701That's what I've been expecting for a while but it seems like she really won over the audience too
>>282973680She had years of training, brah, and had an epiphany from the culmination of all of it.
>>282974732Before that night we were shown that she can't help but naturally slide into the role of comedian, despite all the years of training. One night is still too little time to completely rewire yourself.
Ngl it felt pretty underwhelming. I used to be excited for every new chapter but now I got bored of the manga, it could end right now and I wouldn’t care much. I don’t know if anyone’s in the same situation.
Every development Akane goes through only proves Issho was always right.
>>282974602The point of this arc was to have Akane make traditional ramen correctly so she could add her flairs to the base recipe instead of including flairs from the start and losing important parts of the recipe.
>>282975153It's a bit hard to muster enthusiasm when they're going so hard on the ultimate technique being just "Let the story stand on its own legs". It's the kind of twist you see in a cooking manga where they can't keep pushing the envelope on intricate techniques, exotic ingredients, and inventive flavor combinations, so they double back around to "Actually the best dish of all is just a steak grilled just right"
>>282973371>already grasped the secret of rakugo Is the manga ending soon or something?
>>282975153I feel the same. Maybe if the development was flipped a bit so she learned disappearing act before France, and then had to find herself and her own style that works with it, it would feel better.
>>282975594>before FranceThis arc was pointless.
>>282975662She had to lose her dignity on the cock carousel before she could become truly empty.
>>282975552And those old farts training her couldn't have helped her do that sooner? They even wasted 3 years of french cuisine just to let her figure out herself they want mom's cooking.
>>282975594Akane's style has always been to immerse herself into the world of rakugo. This arc is just her taking that to its pinnacle. Storytellers aren't story writers. Mastery means being able to fully capture the audience with their stories.
>>282975777You are one stupid whiny faggot.
>>282975791Akane also loves to ad lib and expand the stories with her own ideas
>>282973326Hikaru is going to spend all night jilling to this performance
>>282975791>Storytellers aren't story writersArt of storytelling began long before people learned to write it down, as such it was full of improvisation, and the same story could have many versions across country and beyond. So original storytellers were very much story writers. Being able to capture the audience fully has nothing to do with that, you could do it the same with a story made up on the spot.
>>282973326Robbed again Karashibros
>>282976239Ancient storytellers preserved everything as it was. Stuff like the Iliad was passed down entirely through oral tradition. From their perspective they weren't just passing down stories but actual history. They can change how they tell it but changing the story itself with adlibs is just sacrilege.
>>282976445What, you think the Iliad was perfectly preserved with zero additions across the years?
>>282973160/a/ became rakugo and ascended
>>282976535Maybe some wording or details but the story shouldn't have seen actual changes. Even the people listening would be familiar with the story and spot gratuitous changes.
>>282973371Uhh is she backstage? Did she just leave before being judged?
>>282973371>walks off stage because she knows she already won
>>282976728When you think about it, how exactly would we know if they were really that good at preserving it as it is? If there were two or more versions of Iliad at the time they were deciding to finally write it down, how do we know we got Homer's actual version? Hell, some people speculate that Homer wasn't even one person. History is full of holes and interpretations, it's hard to claim anything absolute.
>>282975590grasping =/= mastering
>>282972934I laughed at every punchline of each short story.
I just don't really feel it.Like... ok, she told the basic story perfectly and that's it.
>>282976728Anon, if you're from the next city-state over, how would you know that the changes are gratuitous? That's just how they always told the story here in Thebes. Maybe those Athenian ponces are really the ones telling it wrong.
People really salty that Karashi jumping on stage wasn't good enough. They really want it to end like the last event, but Karashi winning this time. Fuck out of here.
>>282977834Flight is a cooler power than invisibility
>>282976851Power move.
>>282977893He should have remained in the air, if he wanted to win.
>Karashi and Hikaru were taught by masters who acknowledge Akane's way as the correct way>they didn't teach Karashi or Hikaru how to do thatWhy did they teach their pupils wrong?
>>282978162I think every master teaches their student wrong and later laugh about it between each other.
>>282978162They weren't ready for that lesson yet
>>282978162Issho didn't teach Akane shit either. The "sight" needs to be self-taught.
>>282979047It doesn't have to be entirely self-taught, Issho is simply the type that is cryptic as fuck.
>>282973605She's not even a Shinuchi yet. Before the manga ends, Akane has to defeat Kaisei, Maikeru, Ikken, Taizen, Zensho and the others.
>>282977368Then she did her job.
>>282978162Karashi's master is literally teaching him the opposite of the things Akane learned. This is the reason why the Arakawa family and the Sanmeitei family don't like each other. They have completely different viewpoints.
>>282974701That's what happened last time she faced off against the dyke, so no, from the moment we learned that all three will be back I knew she would end up sweeping, and said so numerous times.
>>282976851>>282976863I think I understand why the Arakawa school is hated.
>>282973371She WON
>>282978162Issho's masterful teaching:>Win without trying to make them laughKarashi and Hikaru would've been filtered hard.
>>282976535I've read somewhere once that the repeated descriptors that pop up all the time in the story were kind of mnemonic devices to help the story tellers to recall their lines.
>>282973371I dunno, these last chapters have been insisting upon themselves.
>>282973020is she pregnant bros, women only look like this when they are
>>282982873She got pumped full of Rakugo.
>>282973020my wife akane is so pretty
>>282984119chihiro...
