The special edition cover of the women's weekly gravure magazine 'anan,' released on July 24, features Aqua, a main character from the anime 'Oshi no Ko.'

Aqua, the twin brother who plays a significant role in the second season, appears on the special edition cover. Dressed as a prince in black, his expression is somewhat melancholic and ephemeral, capturing Aqua's complex emotions in this specially drawn illustration.

The feature includes interviews with production staff, cast, and artists. From the production staff, director Daisuke Hiramaki, who has been at the helm since the first season, and character designer Kana Hirayama share insights on the unique elements and dedication involved in the animation. The cast interviews feature Takeo Otsuka (voice of Aqua), Yurie Ikoma (voice of Ruby), Megumi Han (voice of Kana Arima), and Manaka Iwami (voice of Akane Kurokawa), who discuss highlights of the second season and their deep connection to their characters.

Additionally, there are interviews with the special unit GEMN, responsible for the opening theme, and Hitsujibungaku, who performed the ending theme. They talk about their excitement for their first participation in 'Oshi no Ko' and reflect on the overwhelming success of the first season, sharing their strong commitment and passion for the second season.

The feature concludes with a special gravure shoot of Kento Nakajima, who performed the opening theme "Fatal" as part of GEMN. Nakajima, known for his work as an idol and artist, portrays Aqua's determined journey in the entertainment industry as an actor. The gravure, capturing Nakajima in a fateful pose that unexpectedly synchronizes with the specially drawn Aqua, is a must-see.
