To commemorate OSHI NO KO Season 1’s debut in April 2023, the global OSHI NO KO X (formerly Twitter) account has released a special visual featuring the Hoshino family.
OSHI NO KO is based on the Shueisha-published manga written by Aka Akasaka and drawn by Mengo Yokoyari, which began serialization in Weekly Young Jump in 2020 and has 13 tankoubon volumes as of November 2023. Yen Press describes the manga as:
Gorou is a gynecologist and idol fan who’s in shock after his favorite star, Ai, announces an impromptu hiatus. Little does Gorou realize that he’s about to forge a bond with her that defies all common sense! Lies are an idol’s greatest weapon in this outrageous manga from Aka Akasaka (Kaguya-sama: Love is War) and Mengo Yokoyari (Scum’s Wish).
Season 2 is set to begin airing this July. HIDIVE will stream the series.
