Akane-banashi Volume 12

Even though it's Asagao's futatsume promotion, Akane's own promotion recommendation is on the line with this performance as the zenza opening act. The one judging her is not only a friend of Chocho's and Taizen, one of the Arakawa Arch Four, but also a longtime friend of her own father. Taizen recognizes Akane's talent but is threatened to not recommend or promote any of Shiguma's students by Zensho, another one of the Arch Four. Will Taizen make the right decision, or will he succumb to his peer? Meanwhile, Maikeru Arakawa is gearing up to be the first person in the Arakawa school to take the shin'uchi test since the expulsion scandal.
