The TV anime series Joshiraku is created by studio J.C. Staff, based on a slice-of-life comedy manga written by Kouji Kumeta and illustrated by Yasu. The story follows the behind-the-scenes dressing-room conversations of a group of female (joshi) Japanese verbal show (rakugo) performers. They discuss random things and usually reach an unusual or humorous conclusion that's far from the initial discussion topic. The anime is airing in Japan from July 2012.
