Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Ai Hoshino is a talented and beautiful idol who is adored by her fans. She is the personification of a pure, young maiden. But all that glitters is not gold.

Gorou Amemiya is a countryside gynecologist and a big fan of Ai. So when the pregnant idol shows up at his hospital, he is beyond bewildered. Gorou promises her a safe delivery. Little does he know, an encounter with a mysterious figure would result in his untimely death—or so he thought.

Opening his eyes in the lap of his beloved idol, Gorou finds that he has been reborn as Aquamarine Hoshino—Ai's newborn son! With his world turned upside down, Gorou soon learns that the world of showbiz is paved with thorns, where talent does not always beget success. Will he manage to protect Ai's smile that he loves so much with the help of an eccentric and unexpected ally?

Mixed Feelings
As expected from this author, the manga had outstanding potential, until it was ultimately ruined by an unbelievable ending. The story was an enjoyable and engaging ride, filled with promise and buildup.

The narrative built up so many elements, only to deliver absolutely nothing. While some readers might defend the work based on how genuinely good it was up until the ending, there’s no denying the disappointment it brings. None of the developments paid off, and nothing that ...

Oshi no Ko. Where do I begin.

If you look at my profile one of my all time favorite manga is Kaguya Sama Love Is War, also by Akasaka of course. Back when chapters for it were still releasing Aka sensei mentioned he wanted to write a darker and more tragic story so when Oshi no Ko was announced I was ecstatic for it. Sure enough it started out great with an interesting reincarnation plot, tragedy in the entertainment industry, and touching on bleak topics such as the storyline with Akane and I loved the idea of reading a manga about an idol group being ...
