Oshi no Ko season 2 announces release window with new teaser

Before the Ichigo Production Fan Festival 2023, it was teased that new details about the anime series would be disclosed at the event. As promised, the festival delivered with the announcement that Oshi no Ko season 2 is set to debut in 2024.

The teaser trailer provides a glimpse of the upcoming 2.5D Stage Play story arc. It is clear from the Oshi no Ko season 2 teaser that the rivalry between Kana Arima and Akane Kurokawa will take center stage in the upcoming anime. Their rivalry is not only rooted in their past and careers but also in their feelings for Aqua.

What is Oshi no Ko about?

Aqua Hoshino plans to use the Stage Play project as a way to approach the actors of Lala Lai Theatrical Company in order to uncover the truth about his biological father, who is also responsible for his mother, Ai Hoshino's, death.

In the Oshi no Ko anime, Aqua and Ruby, the twin children of popular idol Ai from the group B-Komachii, embark on a journey to uncover the truth behind their mother's tragic murder at the hands of an obsessed fan. Aqua is determined to seek justice and find his biological father, who is responsible for the devastating loss.

Both Aqua and Ruby were actually fans of Ai in their past lives as Dr. Gorou Amamiya and Sarina Tendouji. After they passed away, they were reincarnated as her children with their memories from their previous lives still intact.

Editor's P/S

Oshi No Ko is one of my most anticipated anime of 2024. The first season was a wild ride, full of twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. The story is incredibly well-written, and the characters are complex and relatable. I can't wait to see what happens next in Aqua and Ruby's journey to uncover the truth about their mother's death.

The 2.5D Stage Play arc is one of my favorite parts of the manga, so I'm excited to see it animated. The rivalry between Kana Arima and Akane Kurokawa is one of the most compelling aspects of the story, and I can't wait to see how it plays out in the anime. I'm also looking forward to seeing more of Aqua and Ruby's relationship develop. They're such a unique and interesting pair of siblings, and I love watching them interact with each other. Overall, I'm incredibly excited for Oshi No Ko season 2. I think it's going to be even better than the first season, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for Aqua, Ruby, and the rest of the cast.
