Both manga are about rakugo, passing art on to a new generation, and women's roles in Japan, but the way they are dealt with is completely different due to their intended audiences... just like how a rakugo performance must change based on the performer and the audience. Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu is THE rakugo manga. Aimed at josei, adult women, its themes and problems are deep and adult. Akane-banashi is more upbeat and refreshing as a shonen manga.
