Oshi no Ko and Kaguya-sama: Love is War are two manga series created by the same author, Aka Akasaka . Some fans may not even know, but the two series also take place in the same universe, with Oshi no Ko being a few years after Kaguya-sama's story.
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 question and answer session.
“Oshi no Ko takes place a few years after the end of Kaguya-sama: Love is War, and it appears that the Shuchiin Academy Student Council members are already members of society.”
Furthermore, the author has already presented some Kaguya-sama references in Oshi no Ko that prove the coexistence of the series. 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 that Ai Hoshino participated in 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 there is no confirmation yet, it seems that there is also a relationship between two characters in the series. In Oshi no Ko, Ruby Hoshino has a classmate named Frill Shiranui . Meanwhile, Ishigami and Miko have a classmate named Koromo Shiranui , who has the same surname. In this sense, the characters can 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 photo shoot and it talks specifically about the photographer. It turns out that Ruby and Aqua's photograph was Kaguya Shirogane .
Therefore , 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.
