The Oshi no Ko anime so far

The anime adaptation of Oshi no Ko premiered in April 2023, featuring a 90-minute pilot episode. The entire first season consisted of 11 episodes, setting the story’s foundation and quickly captivating audiences worldwide. Following its phenomenal success, the anime’s second season started airing just a year later.

The second season, consisting of 13 episodes, premiered in July 2024 and concluded in October 2024. It revolved around the Tokyo Blade 2.5D stage play, an adaptation of a fictional hit manga within the Oshi no Ko universe. Throughout the season, Aqua leveraged his acting skills and industry connections to further his personal agenda — unraveling the identity of his biological father. Additionally, the season explored the three-way relationship between Aqua, Kana Arima, and Akane Kurokawa.
