What kind of story is Oshi no Ko?
Oshi no Ko is a story of mystery, romance and growing up, and at first it 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 caring for a terminally ill little girl. They became close friends, and the doctor supported her every step of the way, right up until the end. He knew the little girl wanted to be an idol and also her favorites, the big one: Ai Hoshino.
When the girl dies, the idol arrives at the hospital among the hills to treat her pregnancy. She's a teenager and avoids the media; perhaps the doctor wouldn't have known her if he hadn't 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, although 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 sweetness too.
Where can I get the manga after the end of the first season of Oshi no Ko?
The first season of the anime was adapted up to chapter forty of volume four. So if you want to continue the story where it left off, you'll have to start at number forty-one, at the beginning of volume five.
The boys follow a path between direct and indirect fights with the media and you see the shadows of the show.
What to expect from the second season of Oshi no Ko?
The second season of Oshi no Ko may adapt the following arcs:
- 2.5D scenario game – chapters 41 to 66- (volumes 5,6,7).
- Private – chapters 67 to 80 – (volumes 7 and 8).
If it has the same scope as the first issue, it will likely conclude with episode 80. In these episodes, we enter an adaptation of Tokyo Blade and the theme of industry becomes heavy again. In the Private arc, begins to reveal clues about the identity of young Hoshino's father and then some – it seems they may have found someone else who connects to both protagonists' reincarnations!
The season is more expansive than the previous one, the arcs that follow are:
- Pillar – chapters 81 to 100 – (volumes 9 and 10).
- Scandal – chapters 101 to 108 – (volume 11).

In the Scandal arc, Kana Arima and Aqua Hoshino focus on different media gossip that they will have to get rid of by any means necessary.
Substantial Details of Oshi no Ko – Who Killed Ai Hoshino?
Well, a bit of a spoiler, a bit of a loose cannon. 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 from the first chapter, but who revealed the girl's address if it was a decreed secret?
It seems it was his ex-partner, who is also Ai and Aqua's father: Kamiki Hikaru.
Kamiki Hikaru is a serial killer, but he's also a stage actor. It's not stated that he did these things with a specific motivation or that it was his doing, but it's very easy to insinuate that.
Furthermore, sand you've mentioned before 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 intention towards his children. -both positive and negative, but we hope they are positive if 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?
