“Oshi no Ko” is the hot new anime, there is no doubt at this point. The hand work of Aka Akasaka, the creator of “Kaguya-sama: Love is war“, and also by Mengo Yokoyari (in charge of the illustrations for the manga), has been on everyone’s lips since its debut during the same month of April. However, in case you weren’t very clear what the story is about or if it is really an anime that you might like, today i will tell you everything that interests you.
What is the anime Oshi no Ko about?
- The anime Oshi no Ko revolves around the figure of Ai Hoshino, an idol who begins his star days in the group known as B-Komachi. Despite the fact that the group and its agency are not particularly well-known, Ai’s charisma and talent for dance and dancing make her start to rise like foam.
- However, one day, Ai Hoshino disappears from the stage of the show without leaving a trace. This is how one of her big fans, a doctor based in a hospital in a mountain town, finds her one day in his office. The reason? GOOD it turns out that Ai Hoshino is pregnant, and no more no less than twins.
- From there, the story will revolve around Ai trying to reconcile the life of a mother, a clear ‘NO’ in terms of idol, with precisely the resumption of her professional career. All this will eventually lead to a fact that will really turn the wheel of events in Oshi no KO, which I will talk about below, but I already tell you that this is a SPOILER FOR THE FIRST CHAPTER OF THE ANIME .
SPOILERS FOR OSHI NO KO’S REAL PLOT
- One day, with the slightly older twins (who are in fact the reincarnation of both the fan doctor who helped Ai Hoshino during her delivery as well as a daughter, also a fan, who died in the hospital and who does the doctor initially) someone is knocking at the door of Ai’s house.
- At the opening, it is with a fan who harassed her for a long time, from the moment of pregnancy in fact and presumably the same one that murdered Ai Hoshino’s doctor. Well, under a bouquet of roses the fan pulls out a knife with which he stabs Ai Hoshino, causing her to bleed to death. The reason? She couldn’t get over the idol “cheating” her fans enough to have children.
- From this moment, the stories of the twins will begin: Aqua (the doctor) on the one hand, will seek to find his father, whom he accuses of the murder, to make him pay with his life. Ruby (the hospital girl) will attempt to establish her own idol career and follow the path her mother saw cut short early on.
Main characters of Oshi no Ko
With the plot well developed, I now leave you with a little enlargement of those who are really the main characters in the story of “Oshi no Ko”:
Ai Hoshino
- Idol and main reference of B-Komachi group. He is the character around whom the main events of the story take place.
- oh he’s a character full of charisma and natural talents stand out as a figure among the masses.
- is the mother of twins Aqua and Rubi Hoshinowho are actually reincarnations of Ai Fans who died not long ago in their past lives.
Aqua Hoshino
- Son of Ai Hoshino and brother of Ruby Hoshino.
- In his previous life he was a doctor who helped Ai through her birth. He also knew Ruby, now his sister, as the sick child she was during her previous life.
- Aqua is a cold and expressionless person whose death of Ai causes her to completely change her character. has a natural talent for reading people and acting accordingly.
- Aqua Hoshino’s mission in life is through identify his father and end his life.
Hoshino Ruby
- Daughter of Ai Hoshino and sister of Aqua Hoshino.
- In his previous life, the truth is that he couldn’t enjoy it too much. She spent most of her time between hospitals and eventually died as a teenager..
- ruby is a person full of energy and very outgoing, sometimes completely opposed to his brother. owns the same talent as her mother for dancing and singing and also has the same appeal.
- Ruby Hoshino’s mission in life is achieve that idol career in style that her mother saw cut short.
Why should you watch Oshi no Ko?
- Before telling you why you should watch Oshi no Ko anime, I will obviously tell you where to see it: in Spain there are two options, the first being one of the payment plans for AnimeBox (even though they originally said it would be free) or else HIDIVE, which is available in our country but not adapted as such. These are not great options, but less gives a stone.
- On another side, why you should watch Oshi no KoI have the following reasons to expose:
- start, because the first episode is just awesome. Doga Kobo has done an amazing job with an hour-long special that could very well be its own unique story.
- Second, because with twins Aqua and Ruby, each must choose their male or female protagonist with which to feel more identified.
- Third, because If you’re a Detective Conan fan, the story Aqua will begin seems to have similar overtones.. In the end, wanting to find his father, whom he considers the main culprit of Ai’s death, will undoubtedly be a long process full of Xs and Ys to solve.
- In fourth place, because Ruby on the other hand will add to all this a touch of a real slice of teenage life. In the end, we are talking about a character who in his previous life could not enjoy what was truly a stage of adolescence, so between his career as an idol and his eccentric character, it is perfect to bring a balance as to the coldness of the character. and the story of Aqua.
And at first, these are all the most important things you should keep in mind if you are planning to try “Oshi no Ko” anime. Personally, I highly recommend it, because it is one of those far from shonen stories that really has the opportunity to gain a foothold among the most popular and well-known in the industry. This one likes shonen a lot, but obviously it’s much harder to find a story that, like “Oshi no Ko”, is worth it for its plot.
