Joshiraku is an anime that captures the daily banter of five female rakugo storytellers, who retell bizarre occurrences taking place around them. These women engage in lighthearted and sardonic chats that stretch from commonplace observations about everyday life to current events, manga, and other subjects. Each of the five characters possesses a unique temperament, making sure that the conversation never disintegrates into tedium. Marii Buratei, who is lively and childish, Kigurumi Haroukitei, who appears deceptively cute, Tetora Bouhatei, who is inherently fortunate and carefree, Gankyou Kuuribiyuutei, who is composed yet violent, and the pessimistic and volatile Kukuru Anrakutei are all one-of-a-kind rakugo performers. Along with their friend, who dons a wrestling mask, these ladies share their reflections with the audience backstage at the rakugo theatre or at emblematic locations throughout Tokyo.
