Oshi no Ko (【推しの子】, "My Favorite Idol" or "Their Idol's Children";[2] stylized as【Oshi No Ko】) is a Japanese manga series written by Aka Akasaka and illustrated by Mengo Yokoyari. It has been serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump since April 2020, with its chapters collected in 11 tankōbon volumes as of March 2023. It has been licensed for release in North America by Yen Press and simultaneously published by Shueisha on their Manga Plus platform.

An anime television series adaptation produced by Doga Kobo premiered in April 2023.

Plot

Gynecologist Gorou Amemiya is tasked with helping deliver the children of Ai Hoshino, a Japanese idol whom he admires, without the knowledge of the general public. However, the night of Ai's delivery, Amemiya is murdered by a mysterious man and is reincarnated as Aquamarine "Aqua" Hoshino, Ai's son, retaining his memories of his previous life. Aqua's fraternal twin, Ruby Hoshino, is also a reincarnation, though she refuses to admit her original identity as one of Gorou's patients who got him interested in Ai in the first place.

Four years later, Ai is murdered by an obsessive fan who later commits suicide. However, Aqua pieces together that the fan must have had his and Ruby's father as an accomplice and thus resolves to enter the acting world to find and kill his father.

Twelve years later, Aqua joins various productions to get DNA samples to test against his own. He eventually meets his half-brother, Uehara Taiki, during a stage production, who tells Aqua that Taiki's parents committed a double suicide, but Aqua learns that their suicide happened before Ai's murder. Aqua's girlfriend, Akane Kurokawa, finds that the twins' actual father—Hikaru Kamiki—is alive, but Aqua cuts ties in an effort to protect her.

Meanwhile, Ruby starts an idol group under the same name as Ai's original group, joined by aspiring actress Kana Arima and Youtuber Mem-Cho. On an out-of-town MV shooting, Ruby finds Gorou's corpse and runs into a mysterious child who confirms that her father was responsible for both Gorou and Ai's murders. Fueled by revenge, Ruby throws herself into her idol career, propelling both her solo and idol group's careers, though it ostracizes her from Aqua, Kana, and Mem-Cho.

Desperate to prove herself, Kana successfully establishes inroads with a famous director, but a tabloid captures her following the director back to his apartment and prepares to write an article suggesting that she is his mistress. To prevent this, Aqua leaks his and Ruby's identity as Ai's children, fracturing the twins' relationship.

Doctor Gorou Amemiya is an avid fan of the idol Ai Hoshino, spurred on partly due her being the favorite idol of Sarina Tendouji, a previous patient of his who died at the age of 12 from a terminal illness. Gorou is shocked when Ai quietly arrives at his rural hospital 20 weeks pregnant with twins, though she refuses to divulge who is the father. Ai confides in Gorou that as an orphan, she wanted to experience the happiness of raising her own family, but at the same time does not want to give up her idol career so she intends to raise her children in secret. Gorou swears to make sure Ai gives birth to healthy babies and takes care of her for the rest of her pregnancy. However, on Ai's due date, Gorou is confronted by a man stalking Ai and ends up being pushed off a cliff, dying at the same moment Ai goes into labor. He then wakes up and discovers he has been reborn as Ai's son Aquamarine and lives together with her and his twin sister Ruby. Ruby herself is the reincarnation of Sarina, but she does not tell Aquamarine her previous identity. Ai's manager Ichigo Saitou then begins making plans for Ai's comeback, arranging for his wife Miyako to take care of the twins while Ai is performing. When Miyako begins to get anxious about being relegated to the role of babysitter and considers blowing the whistle on Ai's secret pregnancy, the twins use their intelligence to trick Miyako into thinking they are gods in human form, securing her cooperation.

As time passes, the twins steadily learn more and more about the intricacies and realities of the idol and entertainment industries. One year later, Aquamarine becomes acquainted with a film director, who offers to secure Ai a role in one of his films if Aquamarine stars in it as well. During filming, Aquamarine meets child actress Kana Arima who is skeptical of Ai's acting ability. Aquamarine is able to play his part flawlessly, which frustrates Kana who forms a one sided rivalry. Two years later, the film ends up being a modest success which helps propel Ai's career upward. However, on the day of her first major Tokyo Dome performance, the same stalker who killed Gorou tracks down Ai and fatally stabs her before fleeing in regret. In her final moments, Ai comforts the twins, telling them that she loves them and is reassured that her love for them is genuine. Afterwards, the stalker is found to have committed suicide and a memorial is held for Ai, but she is quickly forgotten by the public. The twins are formally adopted by the Saitous. Ruby decides she wants to follow in Ai's footsteps and become an idol, while Aquamarine deduces that their biological father leaked Ai's address to the stalker with the intent of getting her killed. Aquamarine reasons that his father is also a figure in the entertainment industry and decides to train as an actor, finding a new purpose in life by tracking down his own father and killing him in revenge for Ai's death. Many years later, the twins head out to their first day of high school, and Aquamarine sets his revenge plan in motion.
