Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju 2

PAST PROMISES
 
After proving himself on stage, Yotaro has been fully accepted as Yakumo’s apprentice and a member of his household. But taking in this brash young man forces Yakumo to confront his own past, and the promises left unfulfilled to his late best friend and rival, Sukeroku. Yakumo decides to share a tale that begins not when he was a dignified artist, but an orphan named Bon. Bon’s history is also the history of fellow orphan Shin, a changing Japan in the face of war, and a woman named Miyokichi, who would hold the future in her elusive hands…

A multi-generational human drama set in the world of rakugo, a traditional form of Japanese comedic storytelling, Descending Stories follows an ex-convict whose life is changed by his apprenticeship to a famed storyteller, and Konatsu, who yearns to perform rakugo but cannot because women are not permitted in the craft.

Canadian and International orders wait until every item is available before shipping. For domestic transactions, if a purchase combines in-stock items with pre-order or backordered ones, the shipment will remain on hold until all products are available, with the following exceptions:

Should you have a separate, fully available purchase, we might sometimes send out ready items from all your orders together.

Our system might occasionally opt for partial shipping if around 50% of the products are available, possibly pulling ready items from other pending requests.

While we generally stick to these guidelines, we might choose to send out partial orders at our discretion. Hence, for immediate shipping needs, it's best to separate in-stock items from pre-ordered ones when ordering.
