Oshi no Ko Highlights Ai With New Poster

By Nick Valdez

Oshi no Ko has been taking over the world with the anime's debut airing its episodes during the Spring 2023 anime schedule, and the Oshi no Ko anime is highlighting Ai Hoshino with a new poster showing off the cover art from the anime's upcoming home video release! Ai Hoshino has quickly taken over the world following her debut in the cinematic first episode for the Oshi no Ko anime taking on Kaguya-sama: Love is War creator Aka Akasaka and Scum's Wish creator Mengo Yokoyari's original manga. Long after the first episode, Ai continues to be one of the standouts for the franchise overall. 

Oshi no Ko introduced fans to a memorable idol named Ai, and she left such a huge impact on the series' world that Ai remains one of the major idol icons years after her original debut. Ai was only seen in the anime's 90 minute first episode, but has a specter that lingers over the rest of the entertainment industry seen in the rest of Oshi no Ko's run. In fact she's gracing the cover for the first volume of Oshi no Ko's Blu-ray release overseas, and you can check out the cover art for Oshi no Ko's debut release below:
