Plot

Obstetrician-gynecologist Gorou Amamiya is tasked with helping deliver the children of Ai Hoshino, a famous pop idol whom he admires, without the knowledge of the general public. However, on the night of Ai's delivery, Gorou is murdered by an obsessive fan of Ai's and is reincarnated as Aquamarine "Aqua" Hoshino, Ai's son, retaining his memories of his previous life. Unbeknownst to him, Aqua's fraternal twin sister, Ruby Hoshino, is the reincarnation of Sarina Tendōji, one of Gorou's patients who was a fan of Ai. Four years later, Ai is murdered in front of the twins by the same fan who killed Gorou. The fan later commits suicide, but Aqua deduces that the murderer may have had his and Ruby's father as an accomplice and resolves to infiltrate the entertainment industry to find and kill him.

Twelve years later, Aqua and Ruby have become high school students and have been adopted by Miyako Saito, the owner of Ai's talent agency, Strawberry Productions. Ruby dreams of becoming an idol singer herself and becomes employed by their family's agency. She forms an idol group with actress Kana Arima and YouTuber Mem-cho, named "B-Komachi" after Ai's former group, while Aqua returns to acting. Both Aqua and Ruby begin building their careers in entertainment, with Aqua using his newfound friendship with actress Akane Kurokawa as a means to locate his father.

During a stage production, Aqua discovers that he shares the same father as his co-star, Taiki Himekawa, and that he had died by suicide before Ai's murder. However, Aqua learns through Akane that their father may be actor Hikaru Kamiki, who is still alive. At the same time, during shooting for B-Komachi's music video, Ruby finds Gorou's corpse and learns about the culprit behind his and Ai's murders. Both incidents fuel Aqua and Ruby's grudges, respectively, and motivate them to find their father. However, as they both become increasingly manipulative, Aqua and Ruby find each other at odds throughout their attempts to reach their father, eventually losing trust in each other after Aqua leaks their connection to Ai to the media.

With the help of director Taichi Gotanda, Aqua creates a screenplay for an autobiographical film based on Ai, titled 15 Years of Lies, in hopes of drawing Hikaru's attention. Ruby aggressively and successfully lands the starring role. She is also forced to confront her past when her mother from her previous life ends up being one of the film's sponsors, but this causes her and Aqua to realize each other's true incarnation. Upon the film's debut, Aqua finally comes in contact with Hikaru, who admits that he had used Ai as an emotional crutch and, in a fit of despair, sent the fan after her after she left him. Aqua shows him Ai's final message: she left Hikaru in the hopes that he would come to love himself and that she hoped to eventually come to love him.

Hikaru tells Aqua that he intends to turn himself in; instead, he manipulates Nino, a former member of Ai's B-Komachi, into attempting to kill Ruby, only to be thwarted by Miyako's husband Ichigo and Akane. Aqua confronts Hikaru, who reveals that he wishes to immortalize Ai's beauty by killing anyone who could surpass her. Believing that Ruby will never be safe so long as Hikaru lives and is willing to throw out everything he could live for, Aqua stabs himself and performs a murder–suicide with Hikaru by throwing them both off a cliff. Aqua drowns Hikaru but succumbs to his wounds, finding solace in having protected Ruby over seeking revenge.

Afterward, Hikaru's crimes are exposed to the public, and his accomplices are arrested; the film is released as a tribute to Aqua, with Aqua's friends trying to cope with his loss and find new meanings in their lives. Meanwhile, Ruby, who has become the same idol as her mother, performs at a tribute concert. But although she is forced to hide her pain and trauma behind lies and smiles to inspire others like Ai, she is still happy with her idol career, thanking her late mother and brother for lighting her path and asking them to look after her.

Development

[edit]

Writing

[edit]

Aka Akasaka considered writing a story about being reincarnated as an idol's child, a well-known joke in Japan often used after news of an idol's marriage is revealed. He later began hearing complaints about the entertainment industry through streamers and working on the live-action film adaptation of his previous manga Kaguya-sama: Love Is War. He decided that it was the right time to create a story about the entertainment industry and used his previous idea. When he started writing, Akasaka had already decided on the plots of the first and final acts. Manga about the entertainment industry typically focuses on traditional forms of entertainment, such as films, dramas, and plays. However, the industry saw significant change with the rise of the internet. Akasaka therefore decided to include more contemporary themes in the manga.[4] Oshi no Ko debuted in Weekly Young Jump on April 23, 2020; at the time, Kaguya-sama: Love Is War was still running in the same magazine, leading to two manga series created by Aka Akasaka being serialized simultaneously.[5] After the end of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, a new manga series Renai Daikō (恋愛代行), written by Akasaka and illustrated by Nishizawa 5mm, started its serialization in the same magazine on April 27, 2023, again leading to two manga series created by Akasaka being serialized simultaneously.[6]

Akasaka did extensive research into the Japanese entertainment industry while writing Oshi no Ko. He talked to many different types of entertainers, from idols to managers to YouTubers. In an interview with Anime News Network, he highlighted the many differences between the industry in Japan and the United States, such as the lack of unions. He was inspired to portray the idol world in a dark light after becoming friends with an entertainer who was attacked by a fan. While the entertainer came across as "tough", they confessed to him that they were badly hurt emotionally from this encounter, leading Akasaka to realize that entertainers hid their true feelings for the sake of their careers and fans. Akasaka said: "I want people to know how young talents are being hurt, exploited, and suffering. I think that this work also asks the question of how people should deal with and treat those talents."[4]

Many of the stories in Oshi no Ko are based on pieces of real-life events.[4] Akasaka stated that he considered his fundamental writing style to be that of Oshi no Ko and that the comedy in Kaguya-sama originated as a request from the editorial department. However, he included similar humor in Oshi no Ko to make it easier to read.[4] When writing, Akasaka sometimes became fond of certain characters and gave them larger roles in the plot, like in Mem-cho's case.[7]

Art

[edit]

When Akasaka came up with the concept for Oshi no Ko, he immediately contacted artist Mengo Yokoyari as Yokoyari had dealt with the entertainment industry in her one-shot Kawaii before. The two had long been acquainted but had never worked together. When designing characters, Akasaka usually sends a rough sketch to the person in charge of the storyboards. He sometimes allowed Yokoyari to draw the designs as she pleased. The only time they changed a character design was when one of the characters looked too much like the real-life person they were modeled after.[4][8]

Critical reception

[edit]

Although the author of the original manga, Aka Akasaka, warned fans a month in advance that the ending would be controversial and that he and illustrator Mengo would like to see fans hotly discuss it,[75] many fans were still disappointed by the ending chapters of the story, complaining about the rushed development of the final chapters and too dark ending with dying Aqua, discarding any possibility of abandoning the feud with Hikaru and choosing a happy new life with his sister.[76] In an article about the ending and fans' reactions to it, Game Rant's journalist Stormie McNeal writes that although the ending can indeed be considered rushed due to the too fast and condensed development of the story in just a few chapters, she finds the ending not so terrible, since the protagonist Aqua still found a resolution to his path, albeit in a rather controversial way.[76]

Accolades

[edit]

Oshi no Ko was nominated for the 14th Manga Taishō in 2021 and placed fifth with 59 points;[77][78] it was nominated for the 15th edition in 2022 and placed eighth with 49 points.[79][80] In August 2021, Oshi no Ko won the Next Manga Award in the print category.[81] The manga was nominated for the 67th Shogakukan Manga Award in the general category in 2021.[82] It was nominated for the 26th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2022;[83] it was nominated for the 28th edition in 2024.[84] It was also nominated for the 46th Kodansha Manga Award in the general category in 2022;[85] it was nominated for the 48th edition in the same category in 2024.[86]

Critical reception

[edit]

The anime adaptation received positive reviews. Lauren Orsini of Anime News Network wrote in her review of the premiere that Oshi no Ko "offers a potent combination: the glitz of the industry and the gritty darkness just underneath—and I'm certain we haven't even scratched the surface."[90] Ali Griffiths of Digital Spy praised the series' depiction of the production of dating shows and Akane's cyberbullying, describing Oshi no Ko as a "compelling watch".[91] Kambole Campbell of Polygon described in his review that "[the series] leverages the reincarnation premise for both the wild dramatic potential of its revenge plot line, but also as a way to have a pair of fans see behind the curtain, with different perspectives and impossible hindsight."[92] In contrast, David Opie of Radio Times felt that the anime had changed its content and impact compared to its premiere episode, writing: "the show no longer stands out as unique in the same way that the first episode did."[93]

Mike Hale of The New York Times listed Oshi no Ko as one of the best international shows of 2023, calling it both "sprightly" and "goofy".[94] Vulture named it one of the best anime series of 2023, praising its humor and the handling of characters' performance from the expression of the feelings. The website wrote: "Aside from its unhinged backstory, the real fun of Oshi no Ko is the drama it mines from its analytical portrayal of the entertainment industry and how business conflicts with art."[95]

Accolades

[edit]

In 2023, Oshi no Ko won in the anime category while Yoasobi's "Idol" won in the song category of the Yahoo! Japan Search Awards, based on the number of searches for a particular term compared to the year before.[96] The anime series also won the Grand Prize at Japan's Internet Buzzword Awards.[97] At the 8th Crunchyroll Anime Awards in 2024, Yoasobi's "Idol" won the award for Best Anime Song while the anime series was nominated for eleven other categories including Anime of the Year.[98] The series received the award for Animation of the Year, while Yoasobi won Best Music for their work at the Tokyo Anime Award Festival.[99] It won the 2024 Excellence Award at Japan's 29th annual Association of Media in Digital (AMD) Awards.[100] The series also won the Character License Award at the Japan Character Awards by Japan's Character Brand Licensing Association (CBLA).[101]

Controversy

[edit]

The sixth episode of the anime, which depicts the character Akane Kurokawa becoming a target of cyberbullying and subsequently attempting suicide after starring in a controversial episode of a reality television program, was noted by critics for its parallels to a similar real-life case of the suicide of Hana Kimura, a Japanese professional wrestler.[123][124] Some viewers commented that the manga chapters on which the episode was based were planned prior to Kimura's passing.[125] Kimura's mother, professional wrestler Kyoko Kimura, criticized the episode for the similarity, saying that she did not approve of the case "being used like free source material" by the anime writers. Kimura further stated that she felt the topic was portrayed with no consideration for real-life cyberbullying victims.[125][126][127] The series' English licensor, Sentai Filmworks, added an advisory message to the end of the episode providing the phone number to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline on its streaming service, Hidive.[128]

The ending of the original manga, with Aqua sacrificing his life to kill Hikaru and Ruby becoming the "new Ai" received a generally controversial reputation, to the point of fans calling it one of the worst manga endings in recent years, believing that the entire conclusion of the story made no sense and speculating that the manga received a "rushed" ending due to pressure on the author. In particular, Screen Rant devoted a separate article to this topic, noting that although the ending of the manga was not the worst ending that the manga could receive and, in the opinion of the author, did not make the entire story worthless, it still deserved the its criticism from fans and critics that it received due to the anti-climactic ending, the lack of resolution in many of the subplots, and contradiction to its main story themes.[129] At the same time, Aka Akasaka expressed satisfaction with this ending and stated in an interview dedicated to the final chapter that he had planned this ending from the very beginning and called himself happy because he was able to "end things exactly the way he wanted."[130]
