The fan-favorite Idol manga and anime series, Oshi no Ko is nearing its end.
This announcement comes from the series’ author, Aka Akasaka, in a recent interview with Spur Magazine. Since its animated version hit screens in 2023, Oshi no Ko has become a favorite among fans. This popularity even boosted sales of the original manga.
Oshi no Ko first appeared on Jump+ on April 23, 2020. For over three years, fans have loved its mix of mystery, drama, humor, and romance.
But now, it seems the story is close to its final chapter. “The end is in sight and has already been decided,” Akasaka revealed. The manga is currently at chapter 121, and it doesn’t look like it will be reaching that sweet number of 200.
News of the series ending was shared on Twitter by @MangaMoguraRE, and fans have been buzzing about it ever since.
