Gorou Amamiya, an obstetrician-gynecologist, is reincarnated as Aquamarine "Aqua" Hoshino, the son of pop idol Ai Hoshino. Unfortunately, Gorou is killed by a fan on the night of Ai's delivery. As Aqua grows up, his mother Ai is also murdered by the same fan. This leads Aqua to investigate and suspect his own father's role in the tragedy.

Aqua and his twin sister Ruby were adopted by Ichigo and Miyako Saito, who own Ai's talent agency. Ruby dreams of becoming an idol singer and forms the group "B-Komachi" with Kana Arima and Mem-cho. Aqua, on the other hand, is focused on pursuing acting and forms a close bond with actress Akane Kurokawa as they work together to uncover his father's identity.

Oshi No Ko season 2 was given the green light in June 2023 and is expected to be released in Fall 2024. The manga currently consists of 142 chapters, with chapter 143 planned for release on March 13, 2024, following a weekly release schedule.
