Oshi no Ko shook the anime and manga community with a rather unique story about the entertainment industry. The manga became a viral hit when the anime adaptation was released, and we can safely say that it is one of the most popular anime that came out in 2023.
The author of Oshi no Ko dropped a massive bomb on the fans when he revealed that he had already decided on the ending. But is Oshi no Ko manga finished yet? We will answer the question in this article and give more details about the ending.
Oshi no Ko is a psychological, mystery, and drama anime that shows how the entertainment industry can act like poison. Of course, from the outside, everything looks shiny, glamorous, and amazing, but is it really like that? It is hardly a secret that entertainers and artists live a harsh life in some aspects.
There are many things to consider when you are in that position. The media, the people, the fans, and the employees can feel suffocating, and some artists aren’t able to handle the pressure. Oshi no Ko shows us that dark reality that is well-known but often forgotten because of the glamor.
The story has an unusual start when a famous idol walks into a hospital in a very remote place. On top of that, she was pregnant with twins, and her ob-gyn was her huge fan. We are well aware that the public can make or break an entertainer, and being in a relationship or having a scandal can break everything the idol has made in their lifetime.
Of course, Ai wanted to keep her pregnancy a secret, and she wanted to give birth to her kids to raise them well. Everything goes fine until the day of delivery. Sure, Ai gives birth to her twins safely, but it is the same day when someone kills her doctor.
Somehow, the doctor reincarnated as Ai’s baby, and her twin sister was also an Ai fanatic who had died in that same hospital. Being Ai’s children, both Aqua and Ruby were really good-looking, and what’s better than being close to the person you admire all the time?
Life was good for the three of them, and Ai was getting more and more popular. I guess she had that x-factor that an idol needs to become famous. The special something that distinguishes a popular idol from the hordes of upcoming entertainers. After five years of peaceful life, Ai is killed by a crazy fan who finds out Ai’s secret.
Is Oshi no Ko Manga Finished?
Well, has the manga finished yet? The answer is no. The manga has not ended yet, but we can expect it to end soon. The emotional rollercoaster of the story will come to an end shortly, but we can only hope that it will be a good one.
Haven’t Ai and her twins suffered too much already? We all truly sympathize with Aqua, Ruby, and their mother, Ai, who died a vain death. Of course, we, as the readers, want our favorite characters to have a happy ending. Maybe Aqua will find his true purpose, and Ruby find her strength.
Throughout the story, we get really attached to the side characters, considering how they treated Aqua and Ruby. The ragtag group that Strawberry Productions brought together became Ruby’s motivation to move forward, and the fans also love each and every member of that group.
Oshi no Ko will definitely continue for at least a few more chapters, but it will never hit that 200 mark. Season 2 of the anime is under production now, so the fans are just waiting with bated breathe for the release date to be announced. Of course, the story in manga is way ahead of the anime, but we all are happy to see our favorite characters animated.
Aqua and Ruby’s journey only began in Oshi no Ko Season 1, so the next season will be more tense and full of twists and turns. Who is Aqua and Ruby’s Father? Why was Ai murdered? Who gave her new address away? A lot of these questions will be answered in the second season.
