Joshiraku explores the dialogues of five rakugo storyteller girls as they recount the strange events that occur to them on a daily basis. Their witty and humorous banter ranges from meaningless observations of ordinary life to politics, manga, and other themes. Each female brings something fresh to the conversation, and the conversation never ends in the same spot it began. With the lively but immature Marii Buratei, the supposedly charming Kigurumi Haroukitei, the intrinsically lucky and carefree Tetora Bouhatei, the calm and aggressive Gankyou Kuurubiyuutei, and the gloomy and unstable Kukuru Anrakutei, each of the rakugo heroines has their own distinct characteristics. These females, together with a mystery acquaintance in a wrestling mask, share their thoughts with the audience, either backstage at the rakugo theater or in public.
