Oshi no Ko and Kaguya-sama: Love is War are two manga series created by the same author, Aka Akasaka . Some fans may not know, but the two series are also set in the same universe, with Oshi no Ko taking place a few years after the story of Kaguya-sama.
Oshi no Ko – Series takes place in the same universe as Kaguya-sama: Love is War
Check it out:
Aka Akasaka himself has already confirmed that Oshi no Ko takes place in the same universe as Kaguya-sama with a tweet made in August 2021. He commented on this in a Q&A session.
“Oshi no Ko takes place a few years after the end of Kaguya-sama: Love is War, and it seems that the members of Shuchiin Academy's Student Council are already members of society.”
Furthermore, the author has already made some references to Kaguya-sama in Oshi no Ko that prove the series' coexistence. For example, a few episodes ago, Aqua Hoshino participated in the adaptation of a manga called Sweet Today . In Kaguya-sama, Shirogane and Ishigami mention this manga as a very moving story.
Kaguya-sama also features a mention of " B-Komachi ," the idol group Ai Hoshino was a member of while she was alive. In one chapter of the manga, Ishigami goes to karaoke with Tsubame, where they sing a song by the group.
Although it's not yet confirmed, it appears that two characters in the series are related. In Oshi no Ko, Ruby Hoshino has a classmate named Frill Shiranui . Meanwhile, Ishigami and Miko have a classmate named Koromo Shiranui , who shares the same surname. In this sense, the characters could be sisters or have another type of relationship.
Anyway, the most obvious reference comes from a special chapter of Oshi no Ko published in August 2022. Ruby receives a weekly magazine for which she did a photoshoot, and she specifically talks about the photographer. It turns out that Ruby and Aqua's photographer was Kaguya Shirogane .
Thus , Akasaka and Yokoyari started the manga in Shueisha 's Salto Jovem in 2020. Volume 12 of the manga was published on March 17, 2023 in Japan.
