Kaguya-sama Creator's Oshi no Ko Manga to Release an Anime

By Nick Valdez

Kaguya-sama: Love is War might be rounding out the end of its third season this Spring in just a few weeks, but the creator's other major manga work, Oshi no Ko, has announced that it will be receiving an official anime adaptation of its own! There are quite a few manga projects that have been picking up steam with fans in the last year or so as many look ahead to which would make the best anime, and Oshi no Ko has been popping up more and more in these conversations. Now the series will be getting a proper anime due of its own.

Kaguya-sama: Love is War series creator Aka Akasaka teamed up with Scum's Wish creator Mengo Yokoyari for a new idol based manga series in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump back in 2020, and now the series will be getting its official anime debut. No release date or window has yet to be set, but it will feature Daisuke Hiramaki and Chao Nekotomi as directors for studio Doga Kubo (Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie, Selection Project) with Kanna Hirayama as the character designer. You can check out the first poster for Oshi no Ko's anime below: 

Oshi no Ko's manga has yet to be licensed for an official English language release in physical volumes, but Shueisha offers the most recent and first few chapters of the series in English through their Manga Plus digital library. They tease the series as such, 'In the world of showbiz, lies are weapons.' Goro works as an OB-GYN in the countryside, a life far removed from the entertainment industry. Meanwhile, his favorite idol, Ai Hoshino, has begun her climb to stardom. The two meet in the 'worst possible way,' setting the gears of fate in motion! The amazing Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari team up to depict the world of showbiz from a completely new perspective in this shocking series!"
