Joshiraku follows the conversations between five rakugo girls about the strange things that happen to them every day. Their humorous talks cover everything from the pointlessness of everyday life to politics, manga, and more. Each girl has something new to add to the conversation, and the discussion never concludes where it started. Each of the rakugo girls has her own unique personality: Marii Buratei is energetic and immature, Kigurumi Haroukitei is beautiful, Tetera Botei is naturally lucky and carefree, Gankyuu Kourubitei is calm and violent; and Kukuru Anrakutei is pessimistic and unstable. These girls - and their mysterious masked wrestling friend - recount their observations to the theater audience in Rakugo or at famous locations around Tokyo.
