Oh shit we get to see more about Kiroku's students. They were a couple of hard hitters before.

Wait, how old is Urara? I thought she may have been in her 40s, but she's actually in her late 70s??? Maybe it's her mom?

I knew master Urara was old but she's in her 70's? Like damn. She doesn't look that age at all. Anyway age is just a number, Urara still best girl.

Backstory for Issho and Shiguma, they were brats. Should be fun to watch how their story unfold.

First thing I thought of as well. Given how she knew Shiguma and Issho from old days I knew she was old but not this old. Also I doubt it was her mom, the chapter directly hints it's her as the backstory starts with her reminiscing of those days.

@MegamiRem

It could still work if she was Shiguma or Isshou daughter (*cough* how I met your parent *cough*)... and looking how last names "work" in Rakugo them being family would be easy to hide from readers (and her not wanting to be known as nepo baby). Like remove a few chapters and moments from this story and readers could only speculate about connection between Akane Arakawa and Tooru Ousaki.

As for backstory, the fact it's starts from Shiguma and Isshou perspective so we see things Urara wouldn't know shows that maybe "her reminiscing of those days" is misdirection?


Of course most likely she is THAT old but it's hard for me to digest her looking this young in her late 70s, like I don't want to think authors did this just to make her look sexy.

What anti-ageing cosmetics does Urara even use lol. Please tell me the year this backstory is happening ain't 1964, otherwise believing she's way past her 60s is too much of an ask xD
