Synopsis In the entertainment world, celebrities often show exaggerated versions of themselves to the public, concealing their true thoughts and struggles beneath elaborate lies. Fans buy into these fabrications, showering their idols with undying love and support, until something breaks the illusion. Sixteen-year-old rising star Ai Hoshino of pop idol group B Komachi has the world captivated; however, when she announces a hiatus due to health concerns, the news causes many to become worried. As a huge fan of Ai, gynecologist Gorou Amemiya cheers her on from his countryside medical practice, wishing he could meet her in person one day. His wish comes true when Ai shows up at his hospital—not sick, but pregnant with twins! While the doctor promises Ai to safely deliver her children, he wonders if this encounter with the idol will forever change the nature of his relationship with her.

| No surprise there, since it is a passion project. Strike while it's hot. I hope it will not be the only time Doga Kobo does something else than CGDCT or SOL anime, because they really have a knack for this. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Not surprised that it did, but I'll be waiting until the time arrives |

| As expected. OnK surprised me with how much I ended up liking it so I can't wait for this. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
DatRandomDude said: Although the ending wasn't that good but I really like Yesterday wo Uttate. Doga Kobo also worked on Natsuyuki Rendezvous it's a romance anime between a married woman whose husband is dead and an underage boy. It tackles lots of mature themes. Highly recommended if anyone wants to watch something different.

ZXEAN said: yeah tbf for Yesterday when I say bad, it was mostly the ending that ruined it because I remember even thinking it could be my anime of the season when it was airing for a while.DatRandomDude said: Although the ending wasn't that good but I really like Yesterday wo Uttate.

| Likely planned from the start, more like part 2 than a season 2 |

MadanielFL said: Yep, the 1st season doesn't seem finished in terms of getting a good stopping place in the story, it needs a season 2/2nd part.Likely planned from the start, more like part 2 than a season 2 |

ZXEAN said: Why can't they do both? We barely have CGDCT focused studios, and CGDCT is what made Doga Kobo.

ZXEAN said: Eh. The boy was not underage. He was a university student, just like 12-15 years younger than her.DatRandomDude said: Although the ending wasn't that good but I really like Yesterday wo Uttate.

The thing is DogaKobo is pretty old stuio with a bunch of different series under their belt but they only gained popularity after a few of their CGDCT series became a hit in 2009-2010s. |

| It is a good day :) I like it. |

| Well, I'm not surprised. A second season was inevitable considering how popular this anime is. |

| Yeah that announement was pretty obvious to pretty much everyone that it was coming |
  |
| Of course it gets a second season, alright let's go |
| Hope the 2nd season will have a better quality, maybe even better than the 1st season. |
Tropisch said: No no I also don't want them to stop making CGDCT show. I was just saying they should make more anime like Oshi no ko that's all.ZXEAN said: That's perfectly fine, but it doesn't mean they should stop making one thing to make more of the other.

| Well deserved for this years' Spring AOTS |
| The most unexpected news since the Titanic actually ran into an iceberg, running through the iceberg zone at maximum speed. |
 |
| Let's go, i'm gonna start the manga while waiting |
| I have never been happy for a second season of a TV anime!!! 😭 |
 ------------------------- Marianne ~Effort, Fortitude, and Tenacity |
| Looking forward to seeing the next arc animated. |
 |
| That's great. I wonder if it will finish the story? |
 |
| not surprised that more peak is coming tbh, hope doga kobo keep up the good work!!! |
| Okay, absolutely not surprising. I just pray that they’re able to keep up this level of quality! Had it not been for this announcement, I think I would’ve immediately jumped to read the manga, lol. Are there any chapters that the manga skipped or anything of the sort, though? Kind of like what I do for Kaguya-sama, I just read the manga chaptwrs that were either adapted differently or skipped entirely. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| I know this is bound to happen. I just wish time suddenly flies like a speed of light and go straight to season 3. |
 |
| Looking forward to the next season of Oshi no Ko! Although, we don't know what is the release date :/ |

| I am not sure about the next break-point for the season. The latest (and probably last) arc needs a season of it's own but it is not possible to cram everything else in 13 eps without serious cuts. |
