Yotaro, a former small-time gangster who has just been released from prison after serving his full sentence, was deeply moved by a rakugo performance titled "Shinigami" (Death God) delivered by the rakugo master Yurakutei Yakumo VIII during a prison visit a year earlier. After his release, he immediately heads to the yose (rakugo theater) where Yakumo is performing and asks to become his disciple. Although Yakumo had never taken on a live-in apprentice before, for his own reasons he allows Yotaro to accompany him as an attendant. At home, Yotaro meets Konatsu, Yakumo's adopted daughter.
