“Oshi no Ko” is an anime adaptation of the manga of the same name by the impressive collaboration between Akasaka Aka and Yokoyari Mengo, which is currently being serialized in “Weekly Young Jump” (Shueisha).

The story begins with the worst possible encounter between Goro, an obstetrician-gynecologist in a provincial city, and his favorite idol Ai. It then goes on to reveal the mystery behind Ai’s sudden death, the revenge of Goro (Aqua), who is reincarnated as Ai’s son, and the behind-the-scenes world of the entertainment industry.

The original manga won first place in the “Next Manga Awards 2021 Comics Division” and has sold over 16.5 million copies. When the first TV anime series began airing in April 2023, it quickly became a hot topic that could be called a social phenomenon, dominating social media trends. The second season, which began airing and streaming in July 2024, is attracting even more attention.

ABEMA will begin streaming the second season of “Oshi no Ko” simultaneously on terrestrial TV at 11pm on Wednesday, July 3rd. After the first broadcast, “#Oshi no Ko” became the number one trending topic on X, and “#Abema” also ranked in, creating a lot of excitement.
