Mameda has a big problem: tanuki can't trick humans; when she finds herself spellbound by Bunkos rakugo, she may have found a solution to her predicament.

Mameda decides that she is Bunkos apprentice, but the rakugoka has a different opinion about the matter.

There is more to rakugo than just storytelling; if Mameda wants to commit, she'll have to learn more about humans and teamwork.

Despite the warnings, Memeda rushes to save her first human friend, Shirara, after she is abducted.
