Will Oshi no Ko Work in Live-Action? 

With many anime and manga franchises getting their live-action adaptation debuts in the last few years, anime fans’ worries have been alleviated. It used to be a bad omen to find out that a property was getting a live-action take, but there’s been a bigger and better amount of care put into each adaptation in recent years especially. As long as those behind the project care about the material, then bringing it to screen should happen without a hitch. 

That seems to be the case with the promotional materials we’ve seen for the Oshi no Ko live-action series and movie thus far. Given how big the franchise has become since Oshi no Ko’s anime debut, these projects have quite a lot to stack up to. But it seems that fans have nothing to worry about with this one.
