Seinen "Oshi no Ko" by Akasaka, Aka and Yokoyari, Mengo

[Orion]

Lmao, you reminded me a comment I saw recently about Oshi no Ko. Someone said he has not enjoyed Kaguya-sama recently, and its because Akasaka is more invested in Oshi no Ko right now Which I don't think is the case, but I thought it was a funny comment.
I've also seen some people say it is like Act Age. Or Act Age's successor. It is the first manga I have followed in a while with a focus on something that is already present in society (The media stuff), and I always appreciate the effort that the authors put into such manga.

Lol
Both r really good, so I guess it's whatever you're feeling at the moment. I'm impressed with how Aka's balancing both, ie taking breaks with Apex haha. And yep agreed on the source matter.

Kana got nothing

Aaah, the other guy who was stressed out over the script changing, right? I remember them, though they have little presence

Oh, that's Melt, he's the novice who could barely act tho he's trying to improve. Himekawa actually preferred the new script and was nonchalant about it.

Chapter 53 is out

Hermit ur 2/2, first Chika, and now Ruby chapters

Get a sister like Ruby, such faith. And Kana sporting a new hat . B-Komachi time!

And gotta say, I'm becoming a fan of Melt.

We got confirmation that OnK and Kaguya-sama are the same verse, with OnK set a few years in the future. Miyuki x Kaguya cameo in the distant future?


Also, Kana art

YOU DIDNT TAG ME FOR THIS KANA ART It's gorgeous, absolutely adore it.

Btw, chapter 54 is out

The Kana/Akane rivalry I wonder if that was done on purpose, lmao. Also, I wonder if the upcoming play will make them respect each other as actresses. I like that their rivalry is not based on liking Aqua btw. Also their competition will probably motivate them to make this play kick as much ass as possible.

 

[Orion]

The expressions, roasts, and background commentary were great. Love that panel of Arima holding the sword to Akane, art so good. Found a colored version already,

And now the day has arrived. I predict Kana and Himekawa are gonna win, but Akane and Aqua will have a strong performance as well and a signature moment.

My bad . To make up for it:

Also, some old Mengo art that I just found:

Ai

Ruby

Chapter 55 is out

Oof, Aqua, why would you do that? Mental torture....

 

[Orion]

Reading the chap like, things are setting up nicely, good to see most of the cast is here, Akane got an evil look, and then YIKES, Aqua...

Chap 56

My boi Melt on a mission!

My boi Melt on a mission!

Feels like he's going to have a great redeeming moment in this play. It will be a reverse of the first time him and Aqua acted together. But this time, Aqua will have a breakdown on stage, and Melt will be the one who saves/ covers for him.

Where is it from? It's GREAT.

Chapter 57 is out

That first page was straight out of Kuzu no Honkai I keep on forgetting Mengo is involved in writing this story.

Good on Melt for improvising though. It is indeed lit.

 

[Orion]

Pretty great advice from Aqua. Melt's swordplay will be a hot topic of conversation for the audience and completely overshadow his acting prior. And gosh, we say this a lot about Mengo's art, but damn that moment was cinematic.

Chap 58

Melt


So proud, Great chapter!

 

[Hermit]

Kana vs Akane next then? All here for that

@Hermit

Someone made an animated B-Komachi video :



And ofc Kana art . Credit to @yurigera_8959, her twitter is full of great Kana art.

I really need to use a Kana set soon, LOL. There's so much good fanart around.

Man, that video just reminded me how good that arc was, jeez. The current arc is also good, but B-Komachi concert is peak ONK. Also you just reminded me how many people make memes of how Ruby has faded into the background ever since then.

Mengo's reppin a Kana avi. Also, this reminds me of someone upset that Akane doesn't have as much fanart.

Kana's "I'm gonna be your star!"

She will rise like a Phoenix!

I think Ive seen those complaints before. Not just fanart, even stuff like promotional art. I dont think its bias related, but if it is Im accepting it

Kana's "I'm gonna be your star!"

Aqua swinging the flares, starting with Kana's then transitioning to the other girls. Then the talk in the car later where he says him and Akane are just work partners. Or even the fake Pieyon stuff. Way too much stuff to count.

She will rise like a Phoenix!

She had the same dream as her mom iirc? To become a showbiz person.

Chapter 59

Have to admit, those chibi Akane panels were great. Mimicking Kana's hairstyle though

 

[Orion]

So far, I'd give the advantage to Akane in regards to performance.

Kid Akane was adorable. Also, her dad was shown. I wonder what happened to him, as he wasn't there when she was at her lowest.

Alright bc I'm without bias, here's Kana's biggest fan Akane art:

Pffft, clearly that is Ai in a school uniform

Rereading the chapter now. This panel was great, all-timer for the series for me.

Chapter 60 is out

Im guessing Akane will method act as Kana, which will irritate Kana/motivate her to the point where she pulls out her best game
