TEGAMI: THE LOVE LETTERS
手紙
Original Rakugo Story by Katsura Bunshi VI
A young man receives a letter from a girl who comes from a strict family - so she has no phone or computer for him to reply to. He has no choice but to respond with a letter himself.
One problem - he has no writing skills at all.
He goes to his uncle for help, and the love-letter correspondence begins - and goes in any number of unexpected directions.
A charming and hilarious original story by Sunshine's Master Katsura Bunshi VI.
