OSHI NO KO

Stories are lies meant to entertain, and idols lie to fans eager to believe. This is Ai’s story. It is a lie, but it is also true.

Ruby wants to be an idol for herself and for the little girl who died from cancer. The real world, however, doesn’t care about big dreams: something Aqua knows all too well.

Aqua agrees to Kana’s request, but not for the reason she wants. There’s a connection between Masaya Kaburagi and Ai, which leads Aqua to the set of a TV drama for answers.

Kana’s resolve remains strong despite her washed up reputation. Aqua sets the stage for her with a bold move that flips the script, which leads to opportunities for them both.

Despite different motivations, Aqua, Ruby and Kana’s key to success in the entertainment industry is the same; to achieve their goals, they need to play the game.

Remember what you said in righteous outrage online? There were consequences. You never saw them, but that didn’t make them any less real, nor hold you any less accountable.

Left reeling in the immediate aftermath, Akane’s costars unite in friendship and purpose: they will clear their friend’s name. They owe her nothing less.

Focused on revenge, Aqua underestimated Akane and gave the talented actress a way to win his heart. If love is a game, Akane is playing for keeps and Kana is falling behind.

MEM-cho won’t let her second chance go to waste and uses her influence to help grow B Komachi’s brand. Meanwhile, Aqua’s investigation into Ai’s past bears fruit.

B Komachi’s first performance approaches, but the group still needs practice while Kana refuses to be the center. Perhaps a certain expert choreographer could help them shine?

MEM-cho has fans. Ruby has looks. But Kana has…? She’ll need to find the answer before she can be anyone’s star. Later, a fresh opportunity sets Aqua on a new path to revenge.
