" Oshi no Ko," which started serialization in April 2020 in Shueisha's "Weekly Young Jump," is a story set in the entertainment industry. The protagonist, Gorou, who works as an obstetrician-gynecologist, meets his favorite idol, Ai Hoshino. After dying in an incident, Gorou is reincarnated as Ai's child. This marks the beginning of his journey into the entertainment world, the same path as Ai.
