As a heartwarming tribute to maternal figures, the Oshi no Ko anime series honored Ai Hoshino with a special Mother’s Day visual and a touching video featuring a voiceover by Rie Takahashi, released on Sunday in Japan.
As fans eagerly await the upcoming Season 2 slated for July 2024, the first season of the Oshi no Ko TV anime continues to charm audiences on HIDIVE.
The manga, crafted by Aka Akasaka (known for Kaguya-sama: Love is War) and illustrated by Mengo Yokoyari (renowned for Scum’s Wish), unfolds its drama weekly in Japan’s Weekly Young Jump. English readers can watch the series digitally on Manga Plus, while physical editions are brought to fans by Yen Press.
