Oshi no Ko, written by Aka Akasaka (known for “Kaguya-sama: Love is War”) and illustrated by Mengo Yokoyari, is a seinen manga that delves into the world of idols and acting with a unique twist.

The story centers around Gorou Amamiya, a doctor who gets reincarnated as Aquamarine Hoshino, the son of a famous idol named Ai Hoshino. Unbeknownst to Aqua, his twin sister, Ruby Hoshino, is the reincarnation of Sarina Tendouji, a former patient who was also a fan of Ai.

Tragedy strikes when Ai is murdered by the same deranged fan who killed Gorou in his previous life. Aqua, who retains his past memories, grows up with a desire to avenge his mother. Meanwhile, Ruby harbors a dream to become an idol just like Ai.

The narrative follows the twins as they navigate the demanding and cutthroat world of Japanese entertainment. We see them face challenges, forge friendships, and chase their respective dreams, all while carrying the weight of their past lives.
