Fallen Words (劇画寄席 芝浜, Gekiga Yose: Shibahama) is a collection of rakugo short stories by manga artist Yoshihiro Tatsumi.

Tatsumi attempted to combine the humor of the stories with the visual language of gekiga, two forms which he thought were incompatible, but he later realized that they both rely strongly on timing and that rakugo has much more depth and variety, forcing him to reevaluate the form and see that it was closer to gekiga than he thought.

[4] Greg McElhatton of Read About Comics enjoyed the twists at the end of the stories and found their repetitive nature and Tatsumi's same-faced characters to work in favor of the medium's adaptation.

"[5] Publishers Weekly complimented the humor and relatable nature of the fables, concluding that Tatsumi's "flat yet expressive drawings" help move the stories smoothly.

[6] Garrett Martin of Paste called the manga "a slight work, but fascinating as a historical and cultural artifact", comparing it to as if Robert Crumb adapted traditional folk songs.
