Akane-banashi Vol. 10 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

Through Chocho's test, Akane comes to feel in her bones that a story true to herself is the art that fits her nin. At the study session, while keeping Asagao in the spotlight, Akane launches an unconventional gimmick that pulls both audience and performers in, and pulls off a genuine sellout. The experience sharpens her eye not just for a single set but for making the whole event fun—the perspective of a producer. Bonds with her peers deepen too, and the footing is laid for the next big stage: the promotion exam. It's a turning-point volume where Akane's range as a performer widens dramatically.
