What kind of story is Oshi no Ko?
Oshi no Ko is a story of mystery, romance and growth, and at first seemed to focus on a strong critique of Japan's entertainment industry system, involving idols and some anime and manga.
However, it has added supernatural elements and now focuses more on romance, revenge and mystery: a winning formula!
The story introduced us to a doctor who took care of a little girl with a terminal illness. They became close friends and the doctor tried to support the girl at all times, until the end. That's why he knew that the little girl wanted to be an idol and also her preferences, the big one: Ai Hoshino.
When the girl dies, the idol arrives at the hospital among the hills to take care of her pregnancy. She is a teenager and runs away from the media; perhaps the doctor would not have known her if he had not had a connection with the girl. However, he recognizes her and tries to help her because he associates her with his friend.
No one expects Ai to be persecuted, and indeed, the doctor is killed by this mysterious person. And reincarnated! He and his friend return to this world through Ai Hoshino's womb and remember their past life perfectly, though they do not discuss it with each other.therefore, they have no idea that they know each other and the special bond they had in the past.
Years pass and, as teenagers, after the pain and trauma of their mother's murder, they go their separate ways. Ruby wants to follow in her mother's footsteps - even though she was killed for "being an idol" - while Aqua also decides to dedicate herself to acting, but only to investigate and punish her mother's killer.
Of course, there will be plenty of narrative twists and turns filled with desire, violence, and yes, a little bit of sweetness too.

Substantial Details of Oshi no Ko – Who Killed Ai Hoshino?
Well, a bit of a spoiler, a bit of a loose end. At the end of the day, we saw that a fanatic obsessed with Ai Hoshino's purity decides to assassinate her after learning that she lied to her followers. -We see the grotesque scene since the first chapter, but who revealed the girl's address if it was a decreed secret?
It seems it was his former partner, who is also Ai and Aqua's father: Kamiki Hikaru.
Kamiki Hikaru is a serial killer, but he is also a stage actor. It is not stated that he did things with a special motivation or that it was him, but it is very easy to insinuate that.
Furthermore, sand he has previously mentioned that he is in fact a serial killer of idols, what would make Ai untouchable? Kids? Poof… a lot of faith in humanity if that's the case.
At the moment, We still don't know if Kamiki has any kind of intentions towards his children. -both positive and negative, but we hope they are positive if there are any.
The story is still developing and everything is getting more and more interesting now that the Hoshino brothers know who they were in their previous lives.What will happen?
