The Oshi no Ko anime series is an adaptation of the manga of the same name, written by Aka Akasaka and illustrated by Mengo Yokoyari, known for their works Kaguya-sama: Love Is War and Scum's Wish respectively. Since April 2020, the manga has been published in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump and made available on their Manga Plus digital platform. As of March 2023, it has been compiled into 11 volumes. Yen Press has obtained the license for the Oshi no Ko manga in the US and Canada, as announced at the 2022 Anime Expo.
The English translation of the manga is currently available in 2 volumes as of May 2023, with two more volumes scheduled for release in August and November. The first season of the anime, produced by Doga Kobo and consisting of eleven episodes, aired from April to June 2023.
