Oshi no Ko creator confirms new manga and fans think they know what it is

As a seasoned gamer and avid manga reader with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that I’ve seen it all – from the most heartwarming stories to the most unexpected twists. The conclusion of Oshi no Ko has left me in a state of anticipation, much like the feeling you get when you’re about to open a mystery box and not quite sure what lies within.


After wrapping up the run of Oshi no Ko, its co-creator, Aka Akasaka, has shared details about their upcoming manga project, set to debut in 2025.

As a devoted fan, I must confess that I was taken aback when the Oshi no Ko manga came to a close this October. The final chapter, without a doubt, didn’t resonate with everyone, to put it mildly. However, the captivating tale of musical fantasy, popstars, and reincarnation has indelibly left its mark, giving birth to an anime series that continues to gain popularity.

After completing such a substantial project, there was curiosity about what would come next for Aka and Mengo Yokoyari. It has been revealed that in 2025, Aka will collaborate with a new artist, Aji Chika, on an as-yet unnamed manga. Already, fans seem to have some ideas about the project’s title.

Within the fictional world of Oshi no Ko, an incredibly well-liked manga and anime series titled “Tokyo Blade” exists. This franchise has achieved tremendous success, selling more than 50 million copies and compiled into fourteen volumes, all leading to a single adaptation.

With the primary tale concluded, it’s become evident to the readers that Aka intends to reveal Tokyo Blade to us, thereby establishing a unique and self-referential franchise. One enthusiast even expressed this anticipation on X/Twitter by stating, “It’s definitely going to be Tokyo Blade.

1st: “Let’s get going with Tokyo Blade,” one says.

Despite the potential excitement, the controversial ending of Oshi no Ko has left a bitter aftertaste for many viewers. Not only was the conclusion unsatisfying, but Aka’s other work, Renai Daikō, also concluded this year with a melancholic finale.

Readers are becoming increasingly frustrated by stories that start strong but lose momentum at the end. Here’s hoping that the upcoming manga manages to win over even some of its skeptical audience members.
