What’s Oshi no Ko about?
Oshi no Ko tells the story of Gorou Amamiya, a rural hospital gynecologist who ends up as the attending doctor to his favorite idol, Ai Hoshino. But while he promises to be with her until her delivery, the dark underbelly of the entertainment business is far deeper than Dr. Gorou could possibly understand. And because of this darkness, he meets his end when a crazed Ai fan kills him. To his surprise, he gets a second chance at life when he is reborn as one of Ai’s twins.
The Hoshino family initially basks in joyful days, but their happiness shatters when Ai is murdered. A murder witnessed by the reincarnated Dr. Gorou propels him onto a lifelong path of revenge. Since 2020, Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump has serialized Oshi no Ko manga, which has released 15 volumes. HIDIVE is streaming the anime adaptation.
