Oshi no Ko creator confirms new manga

Now that Oshi no Ko has come to an end, co-creator Aka Akasaka has announced plans for his new manga, scheduled for 2025.

Oshi no Ko manga ended in October, with a final chapter that left many readers dissatisfied. Even so, the fantasy musical story with reincarnations and pop stars made its mark, boosting the anime's popularity.

What will be the new manga from the creator of Oshi no Ko?

With such a big project coming to an end, fans wondered what the next step would be for Aka and artist Mengo Yokoyari. For the new work, Aka will collaborate with a new artist, Aji Chika, on an untitled manga – but fans believe they have already solved the mystery.

In Oshi no Ko , there is a fictional manga and anime franchise called Tokyo Blade , which, within the universe of the work, has sold more than 50 million copies in 14 volumes. Now that Oshi no Ko is over, many readers are convinced that Aka will bring Tokyo Blade into the real world, creating a truly “meta” franchise. “It’s going to be Tokyo Blade for sure,” a fan posted on X/Twitter.

About the ending of Oshi no Ko

Despite the enthusiasm, the ending of Oshi no Ko left a bitter taste for some. This is a pattern that worries fans, as another of Aka's projects, Renai Daikō , also had a disappointing outcome this year.

Finally, regardless of what the next manga will bring, Aka will have the chance to win over those who still doubt her ability to complete good stories.
