If you thought the entertainment industry was all glitz, glam, and catchy idol tunes, Oshi no Ko is here to drop a bombshell on your sparkly fantasies!
From the brilliant (and slightly mischievous) mind of Aka Akasaka, author of Kaguya-sama: Love is War, this anime serves up a wild cocktail of glitter, secrets, and some good old-fashioned revenge.
Following the reincarnation of two kids with a serious bone to pick, they dive headfirst into the world of idols to unravel the mystery behind their past lives and the shady underbelly of showbiz.
Whether you’re a fan of drama, intrigue, or just want to see the darker side of your favorite sparkly idols, Oshi no Ko is a must-watch that’ll have you cheering—and maybe gasping—in every episode.
