Ai Hoshino is one of the main characters in Oshi no Ko, and she became extremely popular after the anime's premiere. However, she dies in the first episode when she is stabbed by a fanatical stalker. Immediately after her death, the anime shows thousands of people paying tribute to her, as she was an idol adored throughout Japan.

On the other hand, this video shows us that some real-life fans were also so moved by Ai's death that they created a real shrine for her. On this altar, they placed a portrait of the character surrounded by drinks, food, and various other items.

Synopsis:

The story follows a doctor named Gorou , a fan of a 16-year-old idol named Ai Hoshino . One day, Hoshino appears at his office, claiming to be pregnant with twins, but her manager tells her to abort the babies. However, the idol refuses to abort; she wants to have both children. Gorou promises her a safe delivery. Little does he know that an encounter with a mysterious figure will result in his premature death, or so he thought. However, upon opening his eyes in the arms of his beloved idol, Gorou discovers he has been reborn as Aquamarine Hoshino , Ai's newborn son! With his world turned upside down, Gorou soon discovers that the world of showbiz is full of controversies, where talent doesn't always bring success.
