Episode 11 of Oshi no Ko ended with a display of rivalry between Arima Kana and Akane Kurokawa. Despite Kana practicing as an idol, the competition this time is between actors.
It looks like the girls will also have a bit of skirmish regarding Aqua, as both have come to like him. In classic ‘unaware main lead’ fashion, Aqua has no idea about this development and is only hell-bent on avenging Ai’s death.
Of course, we can’t forget the main driving factor behind Aqua’s efforts. Season 1 ended with the announcement of Aqua taking part in a 2.5D stageplay, which will allow him to test out some Lalalie associates who might have been close to Ai.
If you are already impatient to know what will happen to these talented actors and idols, you will be glad to know that season 2 of Oshi no Ko has been announced, and it will be here long before you know it.
What Is the Plot of Oshi no Ko Season 2?
Oshi no Ko Season 2 will show the adaptation process of the ‘Tokyo Blade’ 2.5D stageplay. The stageplay is being made in collaboration with Lalalie Theater Company, which Ai had joined. According to Aqua’s sources, her behavior had drastically changed after joining the company, and she often asked for restaurant recommendations.
Aqua is positive that he will find the killer if he can get more info on the company’s staff and actors. A competition will brew between Kana and Akane, who are vying for the top spot in acting as well as for Aqua’s attention.
On the other hand, the new ‘B Komachi’ idol group is expected to deliver more performances, and Ruby needs to improve as well.
What Happened at the End of Oshi no Ko Season 1?
Episode 11 was the last episode of Oshi no Ko season 1, featuring a new ‘B Komachi’ performance. As Kana questions herself during the performance, she sees Aqua in front of the crowd pulling off an intense choreography with glow sticks in his hands to cheer them up. It lightens the atmosphere, and they pull off a successful performance.
Next, we see Aqua and Akane on a ‘date’ as they need to maintain a close relationship after the dating show. We find out they have been cast as a couple in an upcoming stage play. However, Kana crashes the date to reprimand them for posting real-time images and confirms she will also be in the play. Both Kana and Akane have intense rivalry between them.
At the very end, Aqua reminisces about Ai and swears he will find the person responsible for her death.

Which Manga Chapter to Read for Oshi no Ko Season 2 Story?

The story so far has given many people goosebumps, and why not? Considering the number of twists the author had prepared in the series. Let me tell you, the anime is only going to get better as Aqua is still on the track to find their father, who is also the siblings’ mortal enemy.
