The tanuki used to have it easy. Shape shift into a human, pull a prank, vanish. Then the Taishou era rolled in with streetcars and electric lights, and suddenly nobody was falling for old tricks anymore. Mameda refuses to accept that. She leaves her village for Osaka, dead set on following her father into the family business of fooling people. The villagers warned her. They were right. She can't trick a single soul, and before long an angry mob is chasing her through the streets. She ducks into a theater to hide and ends up watching a rakugo master named Bunko work a crowd with nothing but a fan and a voice. No magic. No transformation. Just a story told so well it becomes real in your head. Mameda is hooked instantly and begs to become her apprentice. Bunko says no. Mameda keeps asking. Bunko finally caves and takes her on, which means lessons in rakugo, drum practice, shifts at the theater, and pages of scripts to memorize. Mameda is stretched thin and still nowhere near good. But rakugo might be the last art left that can genuinely fool a person. Can a tanuki who can't trick anyone learn to do it with words alone?
