What Happened So Far
Before episode 10 arrives, here is a quick look at where the story stands. The show takes place in 1950s Japan, during a time when circuses were a popular form of entertainment. The Sunflower Circus is a small, all-female troupe made up of young orphans and strays who are struggling to make ends meet.
The main character, Mizuka Tsurumaki, is the daughter of a legendary acrobat known as the Black Lotus. She joined the Sunflower Circus after being rescued by two of its members. However, she soon discovered that her father had left her with a large debt, and she is now responsible for paying it off.
The troupe is led by Maria, the ringmaster, who runs the operation with a firm hand. Other key members include Rin, who handles the money, and Imari. The circus has been facing financial troubles, with empty seats and tight budgets.
In previous episodes, the Sunflower Circus traveled to Toyokawa for a performance, but their earnings were taken by debt collectors. The troupe also faced competition from other circuses, including the Shiny Lavender and the Blue Rose Circus.
Mizuka has been determined to prove herself as a performer. In episode 8, she faced her anxiety and stepped onto the trapeze for the first time. In episode 9, she continued to grow and face new challenges.
Episode 10 Story Details
Episode 10 is titled “Yume no Butai, Sono Mukougawa e” which translates to “Beyond the Dream Stage”.
The official synopsis reveals that the Sunflower Circus has been granted special participation in the Circus Collection Japan Tournament. The troupe members have vowed to win the tournament and claim the prize money to pay for Maria’s medical treatment.
Maria has been hospitalized, and she has appointed Mizuka as the acting leader of the circus. Mizuka travels to the lottery venue for the Japan Tournament. There, she comes face to face with her biggest rival—Nanami Sumeragi, the leader of the Blue Rose Circus.
