The manga "Oshi no Ko" (original story by Aka Akasaka, art by Mengo Yokoyari) has entered its final chapter starting from the 31st issue of the serialized magazine "Weekly Young Jump" (Shueisha), released today, the 4th. The cover features the announcement, "Final Chapter Begins."

With the second season of the TV anime having started broadcasting last night, the artist Yokoyari also mentioned on her X account, "The second season of the anime begins and the original manga enters its final chapter."

"Oshi no Ko" is a story set in the entertainment industry that began serialization in "Weekly Young Jump" (Shueisha) in April 2020. The protagonist, Gorou, works as an obstetrician and meets his favorite idol, Ai Hoshino. However, after dying in an incident, Gorou is reincarnated as Ai's child.

The story realistically portrays the entertainment industry, featuring not only idols and actors but also behind-the-scenes staff like directors and producers, gaining widespread popularity.

Aka Akasaka, known for the popular manga "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War," is the original story writer. "Oshi no Ko" has received numerous accolades, including first place in the "Next Manga Award 2021" in the comics category. The manga has surpassed 18 million copies in circulation. The second season of the TV anime is currently airing from July, and a live-action drama series will be available on Prime Video from November, followed by a movie release in December.
