There is no Japanese person with the name Kana Adima. It's Arima Kana. You are just like the translators and voice actors who politically corrupt Japanese anime, turning Japanese creations into ugly filth.
Very few authors, can simultaneously follow up a successful series say like love is war, and do another successful series like Oshi No Ko at the same time. Aka Akasaka is one of those few. Hell, he would draw and do a love is war chapter and write Oshi No Ko chapter within the same week. That's very rare. The only other person I could think of that did to successful series at the same time is Rumiko Takahashi putting out Urusei Yatsura each week and drawing Maison Ikkoku each month from 80 to 87.
Can we appreciate the way Mengo's artstyle elevated the series? Also why does it feel like Mengo also had some input regarding the writing for the relationship dynamics between the characters. It reminded me so much of "Scum's Wish"s messy and twisted relationship dynamics in that series.
Gotta admit, Kana not crumbling after so much failure and shortcomings is beyond impressive... she's a strong, strong girl. I love how the author showed she doesn't really need Aqua in order to be strong, she can lift herself up when in the pits of darkness.
@@nurlindafsihotang49 🤨 I wasn't referring to making a living for herself honestly, I meant how she didn't give up when her photographs got taken and was threatened with a career ending scandal... she didn't collapse in the end, she stood up and was ready to face that reality. Aqua saw it and knew she didn't need him in order to be strong. That's what I meant lol
@@nurlindafsihotang49 there's a massive difference between resignation and acceptance. In Kana's case it's not resignation, that would be giving up. Instead she accepts her problems and continues to push forward.
@@redpandaproductions i don't know, i know she has a major crush on aqua, and aqua likes her to some extent as well, however their chemestry never really felt like lovers but best friends. i just don't see this story ending with anyone happy. it's not that type of story. I also find it interesting that when aqua decides... to... trick himself... into believing.... well you know. that he doesn't break up with akane, and instead starts to date her for real despite his and kana's interest in eachother. in fact it's akane's choice to not tell him about there... um... lie he's telling himself that forms the only real wedge in their relationship, and prevents them from growing closer, as akane feels guilty about not correcting him, in fact when she gets the impression he might have figured it out; and in guilt for her lie, and fear for aqua's future, decides to pay back the life he saved by carrying out his revenge herself. I actually think narritively speaking Akane fits the role of love interest better then kana does. because she's the only other character who really knows aqua, and what he's up to. he told her straight up what he was up to in an attempt to scare her off, and she was so ride or die, she told him "fuck that noise, I'll help you do it". I think that answer, while what aqua needed to hear (that he had an ally he could talk to) also is why he has tried to keep her at arms length as well, because he doesn't want her to get caught up in that stuff...
I have never seen this in any other reincarnation story but the way his knowledge of being a doctor in his past life, ended up playing a major part in his trauma regarding Ai's death. Normally in reincarnation stories you see characters use the knowledge/skillset they had in their previous life to their advantage and gain fame and popularity and help them have a better life. In Oshi no Ko, during Ai's death, despite knowing which part of her body she was severely bleeding out from, due to his past life knowledge, he was unable to put that skillset/knowledge to use to try and save another person he loved. Just because he was a kid, he had to watch her slowly bleed to death and felt her body go cold as she hugged him. This makes it more understandable when he blames himself for Ai's death later on as an adult. Personally I don't want someone as broken and traumatised like Aqua to get into a relationship, considering how toxic it would be. I kind of would have liked it if there were less romance in the story and see him get healed/ some proper therapy after all this.
Good insight into Aqua! I 100% agree with you; he should steer clear of relationships until he can get help for his trauma, and I hope he finds peace before the story ends.
Akane’s attempt is all too similar to the suicide of one of the contestants of the Japanese dating show terrace house who killed herself after receiving a lot of hate after getting into a fight with a male cast member who ruined her wrestling costume in the washing machine it’s really sad especially because she didn’t even do anything wrong
What's worse is that the production staff forced her to act that way she didn't want to start a fight but because ratings they wanted to stir the pot and unleashed a total shit storm on the poor contestant, and to rub salt on the wound most people (online) mocked her after commiting suicide, i really hate the kind of person's that would do something like that, they are a blight upon the world
To make things even worse, her family reacted kind of poorly to the reference, particularly her mother, and fans of Oshi no Ko decided to respond by sending her mother the exact same hate and vitriol that k*lled her daughter and that the show wanted to show the dangers of
My favorite is Akane. I like how she is very smart and would have been good ally to Aqua if he trusted her. she is very relevant to the story sometimes even more than Ruby.
Too bad, kana a very observant girl. And the type that tried to protect people she loves. That include Aqua, even as far tries to lied to Aqua about his father and tried to kill Aqua's father herself. Which people like Aqua will never forgive. They dont have trust, and both are too smart and too able to manipulate people, besides eachother. They wont be able to be together.
@@nurlindafsihotang49 tbh that's why I love their relationship so much, I love doomed relationship dynamics. They're too fucked up and rough around the edges, like differing puzzle pieces that are glued together. Too brittle, and eventually it would snap. Akane was loyal and devoted to Aqua and he himself cares dearly for her, and maybe that could have eventually become love as the lies became the truth, but we all know what ended up happening instead
Scores are inflated now since it’s airing. It’ll drop slowly. People said this about Spy Family and now it’s dropped a lot. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good anime though no doubt.
@@asafesseidonsapphire Unfortunately that too. They love carpet bombing new anime. But that’s just to stop it from being no.1 lol. Later with time, it’ll drop way lower like 40 maybe.
Episode 6 dropped.. you were right. It's heartbreaking and relatable. Even then I see people saying how Akane let negative comments affect her when she should've avoided them. It's so hard.
I want to give Aka a clap at making a “realistic” ,if you can call it that, approach to being reborn. The best qualities the twins have when reborn is “beauty” at best and their kept their memories. However, they don’t have cheat codes or op abilities. Ruby is enjoying her new abled body after living only 12 years prior suffering in a hospital room. But despite it she still had to work to be a amazing dancer but she lacks the singing talent no matter how hard she tries. And at times despite passing 12 in her new life she still acts like a naive and cheerful 12 year old at times. Meanwhile Aqua has a mind of an adult is shown as burden he can come of way too mature for his age that it’s noticeably uncomfortable about him that they hired him to act at 2 years old just because he talks like a 30 year old. It becomes more apparent like the video says that him being so grown up in his teens the way he approaches romance feels like he’s too mature about it. Which is why I love this series cause I don’t find enjoyment in reborn stories since they tend to be power fantasies and I get it you want to live through them but sometimes you don’t want to. You want to see 3 dimensional characters struggle sometimes. You want to cheer them on in over coming stuff and you feel frustrated when you. And that’s what so good about this series reborn stuff
Also added to this, there’s nothing wrong with power fantasies, this world is shitty and sometimes living through a character being a powerful Mary sue//Gary Stu can be cathartic as hell we deserve these luxuries in media. It just when in gets over saturated nothing is enjoyable anymore because it becomes cookie cutter. It happens shonen in shoujo and now happening in isekai/reborn series and definatly idol series. Which is why this feel like a breath of fresh air
Then I think the light novels are good to like it is also a reborn story but the main character has a sickness and is also not only power in mona but in knowledge.
Yup. The difference between Ruby and Aqua is their maturity when they are reborn. Aqua, having lived until his 30s in his past life, is a fully adult on the inside, while Ruby was only twelve when she's dead. Her staying in the hospital most of her life doesn't help either. So, unlike Aqua, Ruby's mental age is the same as her physical age. She's 100% a teenager inside and out.
in Kaguya sama "Lies " are like weapon to exploit the other persons feeling and one of the best jokes are about Lying but in Oshi No Ko "Lies" are like Superpowers the Star Eye shines when they are Lying and it has different colors too sometimes the star is White ,Black or Purple
The conclusion to this is- give idils the proper respect they deserve, as human beings. It doesn't matter if you dislike their work. They are doing their very best to light up the lives of many people who would've othwrwisw drowned in their misery. The idols give them a reason to live for. Respect them for that.
Definitely agree! They deserve massive respect considering everything that goes on in the industry! What I like about Oshi no Ko is that it's willing to show the dark and gritty parts of the Japanese entertainment industry compared to similar movies like Perfect Blue. Though I personally love Perfect Blue, I'd recommend Oshi no Ko to people first, for when I'm not sure if they're squeamish about horror art/media. Though imo, I think they should also slowly start upping the ages of when people can become Idols too (it'll help with alleviating pressure/stress for many Idols that still need to grow and mature so that they can better handle the industry a bit).
For me i treat idol or celebrity as normal human being . sometimes i can't even tell someone is famous or not ( well i like reading book and playing game more than digging into entertainment world ) so i treat everyone equal if they are nice to me i also nice to them and if they are not nice i just walk away :')
You are the only person to accurately “sell” this story to me I watched a whole breakdown of episode 1 Read hella comments and watch 2 more review videos on the manga But just the first 2 minutes of your video already had me sold You have a talent my guy
Akane actually can be a great criminal profiler/detective...or a con man😹😹 Her technique of profiling character actually used in many law school/criminology science/police academy.
For me idol industry or any entertainment industry full of children is just full of problems like Anorexia, PDF files, early pregnancy, overworking to the point of vomiting, working 12+ hours a day, zero food and water during shoots and backstage, unsafe driving to make deadlines, emotional numbness from having your needs ignored, extreme loneliness, high pressure from being the main money maker in your family, stalkers, fan meets where 14 year olds have to smile while men tell them how they dreamed about how they want to kidnap and rape them. - source: I was scouted when I was a little kid and my friend in school went to korea to join a certain kpop group.
A small clarification, Aka Akasaka has said he is going to stop drawing manga but he isn't abandoning the medium, he is still going to work as writer for them, working with other artists just like he did here. Just this year he is going to start publishing a new manga called Renai Daikou with art by Nishizawa 5mm.
(Edited update note: I will delete this comment within 2 days as it is no longer relevant to current discussion of the show. this topic used to be relevant when the show was still in Episode 1. Thank you for the discussion yaall!) Adding to the title: Not just Japan's but also for Korean Industry as well, (Kpop stars mainly) In Korean Industry, almost all "Oshi no Ko" dark situations are also very much common there. And some those idol groups, its common for idol as young as 16 years old to be part of idol industries. They started young and being trained. and the training is brutal as well. And since K-pop is the worldwide now, you can check all controversies and issues that are fairly recent and very easy to look up for resources and references. For example, few idols has committed suicides, and all of them were closed friends (I won't give out a name, but I just hoping no more please) There are few more Aqua&Ruby's "dad" similar stories, such as, There is one influencer that has been sleeping many girls, and also gaslighting them when those girls learned that he has been giving STD towards these girls, and he will continue to do so for the next victim. This guy used to be in alot host shows, has been doin charity talks, reality shows... He is young and very charismatic, with so many girl fans. Those victims were having hard times to expose him, since, majority of k-fans were defending him, (and his PR team made it worst too), so they used legal way to handle this issue. This case might took awhile to be settled, but the guy finally landed in jail. This is not the first time things happened, and there are many more stories, some worst and creepy. For stalkers: Sasaeng fan 사생팬 You can check the interview of one of them in RUclips. For "purity": And yeah all those big names k-idol groups, have a contract on NOT to date anyone. So for those who has been exposed for dating, basically mean they are also breaking the contract, which mean, is really a big problem. and they usually being adviced to do media conferences just to apologize that they are dating (Notes: They have huge issues with bullies and cyberbullies, so you can already guess what happened next) Of course, every entertainment industry have their own ugly dark sides of its truth: Streamers, Vtubers, heck, even in Hollywoods too. Korean industries are just one of them. But since they are the top no.1 worldwide popular now, these facts are just open secret, and many of similar cases that being mentioned in "Oshi no Ko" are fairly new and easy to look up for research (to see more reality of "Oshi no Ko", kpop world are just the easiest to find for real world case references (if you are willing to see more triggering stories)
Being an idol is one of the toughest job on the planet. Being a korean idol is like playing on hard mode, but with one hand and also blindfolded. If you compare JP and KR you will see the difference of level with the choreography, you will also see the amount of plastic they have on their face and body. KR is obsessed with absolute perfection to the point that the "talents" are 0% human.
@@jrmy__ I wont give a name. But heres hint that just a direct clue: An influencer that was well known as a hot doctor lol I remember people believing his bad takes on vitamin c supplements.
As with any job you have leeches who make things difficult. As expensive as concert tickets are about 80% of that goes to crew, transportation, venue rental, security, staff, ticketmaster ‘convenience’ fee etc. and the band doesn’t get much in retrospect.
Many recent news stories have stories of celebrities we thought were just a happy person, all of a sudden die without warning due to suicide. It is heartbreaking.
7:16 As fans, I think there Is a line on hating your oshi because she "hurt your feelings" before It's going too far. That line (for me) Is KILLING your Oshi because she "betrayed". It's SO MOTHERFUCKING STUPID that SOME MOTHERFUCKING FAN IS WILLING TO HIS OSHI Because he found out that she has kids. At that point YOU need to think to yourself " how much of a Degenerate I become to think that" and that you should probly leave the fandom for a while.
In my country people dont give a shit about personal life of idol . as long as they dont cross the line of being an asshole . whoever they date or married with or heck even being a single mom ( a bit scandal ) people really leave them alone . i think the idol industry in korea and japan is really toxic there ( even my country have some what the same culture like them china - viet nam - korea - japan )
@@annguyenlehoang7779 As a south american, the entire concept of feeling entitled to a celebrity's life is completely alien to me. We see a celebrity in a relationship, we congratulate them and move on like any normal person should. By the way, what country are you from? Your message didn't make it too clear.
I read this whole manga in a day after I watched the first episode. like a 24hour day with intermittent sleep where I dreamed about random continuations about it because I had just read about it for 10+ hours before I slept, but I was so into it that when I woke up I'd go back to read it.
Against all odds this is one of my favorite manga. I love the dark tone hidden behind a sheet of wholesomeness and how it takes a peek at real life things within a story. It does while still juggling some great characters. The only reason this manga is pretty low on my top ones is because it gives a few too many exposition dumps. Regardless I am extremely excited for his next manga coming out next week.
I know Aka sensei making two amazing series simultaneously is an incredible feat, but it shouldn't be encouraged so much like this. I don't know how he's able to handle it without the stress and overwork killing them. I know Mengo sensei handles the art for Oshi no Ko, but still that doesn't make writing for a manga series any less stressful.
I've been seeing a lot of videos like this pop up since the show aired and every time I do I can't help but think of the same question over and over again. Have people just forgotten about the absolute cesspit that is Hollywood and the western media scene? Honnestly entertainment media in general seems to bring out the worst in some people.
That's probably because when it comes to Eastern entertainment industry, it's more jarring because of the culture around it especially with how collectivist it can be, I mean you need not look further that the fan culture over there basically has them entitled to their idols, completely forgetting the fact they're just like the rest of us: human beings. At least over there in the other side, people aren't entitled to their celebrities *as much* and discussions about their day to day life and whatnot is just that. People shit on a Kardashian then just move on with their day and vice versa lol. It's definitely more of a cultural thing than anything, but you're right that the entertainment industry's still pretty much a godawful place to be going into regardless of where it is.
This anime remains me of how celebrities have their struggles with their own mortality as us. And how aholes that are obsessed with them deserve to go to insanely asylum or be pop in the head
Not that I like being “that person”, but I feel like clarification is important here. Overall, great video, but one minor mistake you made was referring to Oshi no Ko as an isekai. Isekai is a Japanese word meaning “another world”, and the term refers to stories that take place when the main character is transported to a world different from the one they are used to. This doesn’t happen in Oshi no Ko. It’s just a reincarnation story (among various other things), but it still takes place in one world that is representative of the real world.
She reminds me Jack Stauber’s OPAL which really saddens my heart. She is really a talented hardworking individual and cute. I like her as an character... Hope to she her develop self esteem and hope. I wanna she more of the bond between Arima Kana and Kurokawa Akane then her fights to claim Aqua.
When I first saw kana here, I only saw her as a floor licker because of the memes of the character, but after this, I’m starting to see a different person in kana. One I didn’t think of before and now I think kana is more than just a memable character, she’s much more of an important support character in the anime
Well, I just found out the whole reason the author killed Ai off was because he's couldn't figure out how to write the story around such a powerful character. While I get it, Ai seemed too perfect. I feel it. It could've worked. I would've had Ai navigate the entertainment industry while shielding her children from the harsh realities of fame. All the while, she must also deal with the pressure of keeping up appearances and maintaining her image as a successful actor. The children face their own challenges as they try to break into the industry without revealing their true identities. As the story progresses, the Ai could realizes that she can not keep her children hidden forever. She must make a choice between her career and her children's dreams. The climax of the story comes when she decides to reveal their identities to the world. It is a risky move that could either make or break their careers.
I made a whole plan about trying to save Ai First part of plan: Study HARD in all the sciences and economics Second part of plan: try to make money and set up a water business Part two contingency plan:if it doesn’t work I will try to gain help from international plans and reincarnate Ai Part three: try to set up more companies and help other companies of mine Part three contingency plan: same as part two Part four: try to set up a country where I can set my company headquarters at Part four contingency plan: set up headquarters in Switzerland Part five: try to bring this world together and under one ruler me Part five contingency plan: continue to monopolize and make NPO (non profit organizations) to make people want me to be their ruler Part six: make schools specialized and better to make more people want to learn about physics and health Part six contingency plan: put out special schools for just health and physics Part seven: make a pill that extends a persons life span Part seven contingency plan: make clones of important people do they continue to do good work Part eight: try to use time dialation to travel to other universes quickly Part eight contingency plan: try to travel to other universes using wormholes Part nine: get to the SCP universe and take all the SCPs I need Part nine contingency plan: try to rent the anomalies Part ten: continue to try to build a time travel machine Part ten contingency plan: try to set up a big planet so that the gravitational pull will send AI’s universe into reverse time order Part eleven: save Ai and ensure no stalkers are there to hurt her by torturing and gaining info from Aqua’s dad Part eleven contingency plan: continue to post guards at where Ai lives Part twelve: make sure the black holes don’t swallow up this universe Part twelve contingency plan: move Ai’s planet to the next universe Part thirteen: continue to explain to Ai’s fans that she is trying her hardest to make her lies truths Part thirteen contingency plan: say aquas dad raped Ai
19:22 i love the fact that you did an incredibles reference. also on a sidenote to anyone that wondering... yes, even oshi no ko also has rule34...lol your welcome.
Pro Streamer Content Analysis: Theres lots of depths in the story.... Big twist bla bla bla... Character journey... More philosophy, litreature and art stuff... zzzz (tldr) Me: Just here to watch and cheer for best girl Arima Kana.
Is the RUclips girl not important or something? The opening and ending of the anime showcase her with the other four but he didn’t really talk about her much.
because why did the creators make Ai's death scene so gory and blood, the amount of blood in that whole scene seemed unrealistic for just 1 stab wound, they painted amlost everything in her blood from just that stab wound bruhh and her in the manga its not as much😭
It's kinda sad that * spoilers* . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Kana isnt getting that much of a break unlike akane who made it big in her career so far as having her own netflix lead role announced on the streets of shibuya. Meanwhile kana is steal reconsidering her involvement with b komachi, contemplating on quitting idol work completely.
FFS, why would you not take advantage of your old life's medical training to become a child prodigy and Doogie Howser your way into a well-paying career in your teens? You'd have a heck of a lot more freedom of action and money to pursue this mystery you're trying to solve. You'd also wind up being as famous as any flash-in-the-pan pop star. That's assuming you even came through your second infancy sane. Can you imagine the horror of spending years in a body whose nervous system isn't developed enough to give you control over your body functions? Can't walk, talk, and going by what puberty felt like I bet the rapid growth a baby goes through is a constant source of pain as your bones lengthen and tissues expand. An adult intelligence stuck in that situation would be looking at years in hell worse than any late-life decline. If you don't want to explore that sort of thing in your story, don't put your character in that kind of situation. Find another way to handle your body-hopping instead of handwaving it away.
The whole point of him being reincarnated as Ai’s child isn’t anything to do with the logistics of the reincarnation trope. The point is to show the difference between fan’s admiration and parasocial relationship with an idol vs real affection toward a person you know and love. Also, being a prodigy as a kid would’ve brought more attention to the family and increase the chances of Ai’s motherhood being discovered by the media
@@Clxmntiine Then why include the reincarnation body-hopping nonsense at all? It's a pointless, intrusive storytelling choice that weakens the very real points that you say are intended to be the point of the work by inserting meaningless fantasy elements. It's as though a writer tried to do Grave of the Fireflies and random stuck a kaiju attack into the background.
Because, that attitude is thoughtless and disregards a ton of anime that are not lewd. That's like disregarding every novel as porn because romance novels exist.
Hmm, I don't think the adult industry is a quick or easy buck. Seggs workers are still workers, and they too put effort into what they do! It's far from an easy industry to break into.
Funny thing, I actually talked to Super Eyepatch Wolf directly on his patreon discord dms about my thumbnail and he said he thought it didn't look much like his thumbnails. He said it looked great and even gave me some advice on making it 😊
Bruh teen pregnancy exist. It's a real issue, yes, but disliking an honest representation of teen pregancy and it's consequences will not solve that issue, in fact, pretending that teen pregnancy didn't exist only worsen the problem. Oshi no Ko did a good job to portray the struggles of teen pregnancy. It wasn't all rainbow and happines for Ai. She struggled to make a living for herself and her children before getting famous, her ex-boyfriend didn't support her or the children in any way, and she ultimately died just because she choose to keep her kids. Even Ai was one of the lucky one. There are many, many teenage girls out there that weren't as fortunate as Ai that have big incomes & a support system that helped her to raise her children. Teenage pregnancy is real problem whether you dislike it or not.
Oshi no Ko isn't about the dark side of Japanese media at all. It's about Teen drama lol. It's all the author really knows. The media stuff is really shallow.
Sorry but these stories never sit well with me. I have been in that place and i have never forgiven myself for the unbelievable stupidity of assigning value to my own life based on the whims and opinions of society around me. Its.... stupid to the point of natural selection. Literal darwinism. You are putting yourself in a place of complete self destruction because you put SO MUCH value to the comments of random nick names online that might not even be a real person for all intents and purposes. Its... just no. If you can empathize with such stories, then you should definitely have a moment of proper thought about who you are as a person and what your values are, cause something, somewhere, is very misplaced inside of you. Emotions are not meant to control you to this extent.
If something bad coming at ya . just consider it as worth fighting for or not ? If the people u are facing are not worth talking to then just let it go and ignore it :x .
Opinions about yourself can be harmful. Not everyone can ignore hate and It’s okay to be compassionate towards these people. It’s unrealistic but maybe people should just be kind to one another. 🐟

I want to like this work, but I just can't feel bad for anything bad that happens to most of characters. Honestly the author is putting in his radical femenist views too much and the message feels more like "women shouldn't be held responsible for their actions" than "treat women with respect".
Gender doesn’t make it any less of what people gone through. Larkin Pink singer Chester died from suicide, Stephanie Adams and her murder suicide happened 2018, Desmond Amofah, aka Etika 2019.

@@metal_fusion Yeah I get that crazy fans are crazy, but maybe, like, stop pandering to crazy fans? If you pander to fans who expect you to be a certain way, they're going to be angry if you lie about being how they want you to be. The fans are not entitled to the idol, but the idol is also not entitled to the fans. I feel like this work completely misses that point and portraits all fans as ATMs for companies to exploit for all their worth while also calling them trash.
@@Chestyfriendbecause thats what the real world is like. It revolves around money. You may not want to pander to certain people, but your manager certainly wants to, so off you go!

Watching this, I'm thankful I never had the dream to become any type of celebrity. God, I couldn't bring myself to be a liar my entire life. For someone as unapologetically honest as myself, that would be like hell. I am also thankful I haven't touched this series since watching the PV & missed out on this toxic messy series completely, no matter how much buzz is out there. I thought it was interesting at first, but turns out is actually just another cringe story. Probably it would be better without that foolish reincarnation cliche The messy life of celebrities, I have been fed up with them since years ago including the Japanese entertainment culture so the content of this series is no surprise to me on that part. The fanatics, scandals, the role of media, the system, the rules, the role in business, both sides of the curtain...probably everything at this point. I think the people involved in this kind of industry seriously need proper mental health treatment. So many problems, but there's no real problem solving and the people there turn those problems into another type of entertainment instead (like this one)🤦♀ Well, something popular is not as good as it seems. I agree about Kana and I am interested in the mangaka character there because I find him relatable, yet if I want this type of story, better I watch my usual true crime documentary series. Thanks for the review anyway, it's time-saving.

You’re right and I think he can do it again with his next manga which comes out on April 27th 2023.
I agree so much!!!!
Those two are beasts at what they do best 👌

Gotta admit, Kana not crumbling after so much failure and shortcomings is beyond impressive... she's a strong, strong girl. I love how the author showed she doesn't really need Aqua in order to be strong, she can lift herself up when in the pits of darkness.
...you know that Kana already lives and earned her own living, right? Her mom left her in the end.
@@nurlindafsihotang49 🤨 I wasn't referring to making a living for herself honestly, I meant how she didn't give up when her photographs got taken and was threatened with a career ending scandal... she didn't collapse in the end, she stood up and was ready to face that reality. Aqua saw it and knew she didn't need him in order to be strong. That's what I meant lol
@@deadsoon resignation does not mean strong, you know.
@@nurlindafsihotang49 how is facing difficulty head on not strength?
You're strawmanning the fuck outta this lol
@@nurlindafsihotang49 there's a massive difference between resignation and acceptance. In Kana's case it's not resignation, that would be giving up. Instead she accepts her problems and continues to push forward.

Fingers crossed her luck changes 🤞

@@51923ra Lewd but carry on
@@redpandaproductions i don't know, i know she has a major crush on aqua, and aqua likes her to some extent as well, however their chemestry never really felt like lovers but best friends. i just don't see this story ending with anyone happy. it's not that type of story. I also find it interesting that when aqua decides... to... trick himself... into believing.... well you know. that he doesn't break up with akane, and instead starts to date her for real despite his and kana's interest in eachother. in fact it's akane's choice to not tell him about there... um... lie he's telling himself that forms the only real wedge in their relationship, and prevents them from growing closer, as akane feels guilty about not correcting him, in fact when she gets the impression he might have figured it out; and in guilt for her lie, and fear for aqua's future, decides to pay back the life he saved by carrying out his revenge herself.
I actually think narritively speaking Akane fits the role of love interest better then kana does. because she's the only other character who really knows aqua, and what he's up to. he told her straight up what he was up to in an attempt to scare her off, and she was so ride or die, she told him "fuck that noise, I'll help you do it". I think that answer, while what aqua needed to hear (that he had an ally he could talk to) also is why he has tried to keep her at arms length as well, because he doesn't want her to get caught up in that stuff...
I have never seen this in any other reincarnation story but the way his knowledge of being a doctor in his past life, ended up playing a major part in his trauma regarding Ai's death.
Normally in reincarnation stories you see characters use the knowledge/skillset they had in their previous life to their advantage and gain fame and popularity and help them have a better life.
In Oshi no Ko, during Ai's death, despite knowing which part of her body she was severely bleeding out from, due to his past life knowledge, he was unable to put that skillset/knowledge to use to try and save another person he loved.
Just because he was a kid, he had to watch her slowly bleed to death and felt her body go cold as she hugged him.
This makes it more understandable when he blames himself for Ai's death later on as an adult.
Personally I don't want someone as broken and traumatised like Aqua to get into a relationship, considering how toxic it would be. I kind of would have liked it if there were less romance in the story and see him get healed/ some proper therapy after all this.
Good insight into Aqua! I 100% agree with you; he should steer clear of relationships until he can get help for his trauma, and I hope he finds peace before the story ends.
Lol. Therapy in anime? What's that
or untill he kills his dad and hides it well
Well, if people whom ship him and akane does not read manga and knows what happened with akane-aqua confrontation under the bridge pass.
@@redpandaproductions best use..same fo Ruby's case..albeit different but I get what ya mean
Akane’s attempt is all too similar to the suicide of one of the contestants of the Japanese dating show terrace house who killed herself after receiving a lot of hate after getting into a fight with a male cast member who ruined her wrestling costume in the washing machine it’s really sad especially because she didn’t even do anything wrong
What's worse is that the production staff forced her to act that way she didn't want to start a fight but because ratings they wanted to stir the pot and unleashed a total shit storm on the poor contestant, and to rub salt on the wound most people (online) mocked her after commiting suicide, i really hate the kind of person's that would do something like that, they are a blight upon the world
Her name was Hana Kimura
Think the author wrote this arc based on that incident
To make things even worse, her family reacted kind of poorly to the reference, particularly her mother, and fans of Oshi no Ko decided to respond by sending her mother the exact same hate and vitriol that k*lled her daughter and that the show wanted to show the dangers of
@@MokohiChan holy shit those fans are awful
My favorite is Akane. I like how she is very smart and would have been good ally to Aqua if he trusted her. she is very relevant to the story sometimes even more than Ruby.
Too bad, kana a very observant girl. And the type that tried to protect people she loves. That include Aqua, even as far tries to lied to Aqua about his father and tried to kill Aqua's father herself. Which people like Aqua will never forgive. They dont have trust, and both are too smart and too able to manipulate people, besides eachother. They wont be able to be together.
@@nurlindafsihotang49 tbh that's why I love their relationship so much, I love doomed relationship dynamics. They're too fucked up and rough around the edges, like differing puzzle pieces that are glued together. Too brittle, and eventually it would snap. Akane was loyal and devoted to Aqua and he himself cares dearly for her, and maybe that could have eventually become love as the lies became the truth, but we all know what ended up happening instead
@@iamanidotbutalsoiamxavier5071 aiyaaaa..... "The lies become the truth"
This anime is a dream of Joseph Goebbels, mate.
it's crazy how this became the number 1 ranked top anime with just episode 1.
but yeah it gets even better later on...
Scores are inflated now since it’s airing. It’ll drop slowly. People said this about Spy Family and now it’s dropped a lot. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good anime though no doubt.
Ep1 probably gonna be the best ep cuz I didn't think it was gonna turn into a dumb highschool type anime
@@Cobenis_Kardoesn't it also drops because of Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood fans who put 1 whenever an anime passes it on number 1?
@@asafesseidonsapphire Unfortunately that too. They love carpet bombing new anime. But that’s just to stop it from being no.1 lol. Later with time, it’ll drop way lower like 40 maybe.
Episode 6 dropped.. you were right. It's heartbreaking and relatable. Even then I see people saying how Akane let negative comments affect her when she should've avoided them. It's so hard.
I want to give Aka a clap at making a “realistic” ,if you can call it that, approach to being reborn. The best qualities the twins have when reborn is “beauty” at best and their kept their memories. However, they don’t have cheat codes or op abilities. Ruby is enjoying her new abled body after living only 12 years prior suffering in a hospital room. But despite it she still had to work to be a amazing dancer but she lacks the singing talent no matter how hard she tries. And at times despite passing 12 in her new life she still acts like a naive and cheerful 12 year old at times. Meanwhile Aqua has a mind of an adult is shown as burden he can come of way too mature for his age that it’s noticeably uncomfortable about him that they hired him to act at 2 years old just because he talks like a 30 year old. It becomes more apparent like the video says that him being so grown up in his teens the way he approaches romance feels like he’s too mature about it. Which is why I love this series cause I don’t find enjoyment in reborn stories since they tend to be power fantasies and I get it you want to live through them but sometimes you don’t want to. You want to see 3 dimensional characters struggle sometimes. You want to cheer them on in over coming stuff and you feel frustrated when you. And that’s what so good about this series reborn stuff
Also added to this, there’s nothing wrong with power fantasies, this world is shitty and sometimes living through a character being a powerful Mary sue//Gary Stu can be cathartic as hell we deserve these luxuries in media. It just when in gets over saturated nothing is enjoyable anymore because it becomes cookie cutter. It happens shonen in shoujo and now happening in isekai/reborn series and definatly idol series. Which is why this feel like a breath of fresh air
@@natigalilel1135 that's why i love "eminence of shadows". Seriously become chuuni isekai, without apology. 😹😹🙈
Then I think the light novels are good to like it is also a reborn story but the main character has a sickness and is also not only power in mona but in knowledge.
Yup. The difference between Ruby and Aqua is their maturity when they are reborn. Aqua, having lived until his 30s in his past life, is a fully adult on the inside, while Ruby was only twelve when she's dead. Her staying in the hospital most of her life doesn't help either. So, unlike Aqua, Ruby's mental age is the same as her physical age. She's 100% a teenager inside and out.
@Weyland Punani ...what privilidge? Past or current? Because the current lives of being "secret children" are far from privilidged.
in Kaguya sama "Lies " are like weapon to exploit the other persons feeling and one of the best jokes are about Lying
but in Oshi No Ko "Lies" are like Superpowers the Star Eye shines when they are Lying and it has different colors too
sometimes the star is White ,Black or Purple
I wonder if lying will have any significance in Aka’s latest work Renai Daikou
The conclusion to this is- give idils the proper respect they deserve, as human beings. It doesn't matter if you dislike their work. They are doing their very best to light up the lives of many people who would've othwrwisw drowned in their misery. The idols give them a reason to live for. Respect them for that.
Definitely agree! They deserve massive respect considering everything that goes on in the industry!
What I like about Oshi no Ko is that it's willing to show the dark and gritty parts of the Japanese entertainment industry compared to similar movies like Perfect Blue. Though I personally love Perfect Blue, I'd recommend Oshi no Ko to people first, for when I'm not sure if they're squeamish about horror art/media.
Though imo, I think they should also slowly start upping the ages of when people can become Idols too (it'll help with alleviating pressure/stress for many Idols that still need to grow and mature so that they can better handle the industry a bit).
For me i treat idol or celebrity as normal human being . sometimes i can't even tell someone is famous or not ( well i like reading book and playing game more than digging into entertainment world ) so i treat everyone equal if they are nice to me i also nice to them and if they are not nice i just walk away :')
Tell that to their agency.
You are the only person to accurately “sell” this story to me
I watched a whole breakdown of episode 1
Read hella comments and watch 2 more review videos on the manga
But just the first 2 minutes of your video already had me sold
You have a talent my guy
Akane actually can be a great criminal profiler/detective...or a con man😹😹
Her technique of profiling character actually used in many law school/criminology science/police academy.
Pretty sure at some point someone tells her exactly that
I mean she already reading a psychology book since she was 5 to begin with
For me idol industry or any entertainment industry full of children is just full of problems like Anorexia, PDF files, early pregnancy, overworking to the point of vomiting, working 12+ hours a day, zero food and water during shoots and backstage, unsafe driving to make deadlines, emotional numbness from having your needs ignored, extreme loneliness, high pressure from being the main money maker in your family, stalkers, fan meets where 14 year olds have to smile while men tell them how they dreamed about how they want to kidnap and rape them. - source: I was scouted when I was a little kid and my friend in school went to korea to join a certain kpop group.
What happened to them
I wouldn't say Aqua loves Ai more than Ruby. I say he loves them both equally but after Ai's death he cannot connect due to the fear.
A small clarification, Aka Akasaka has said he is going to stop drawing manga but he isn't abandoning the medium, he is still going to work as writer for them, working with other artists just like he did here. Just this year he is going to start publishing a new manga called Renai Daikou with art by Nishizawa 5mm.
Aka Akasaka is doing things that very few authors could do, like making two well-written series simultaneously.
(Edited update note: I will delete this comment within 2 days as it is no longer relevant to current discussion of the show. this topic used to be relevant when the show was still in Episode 1. Thank you for the discussion yaall!)
Adding to the title: Not just Japan's but also for Korean Industry as well, (Kpop stars mainly) In Korean Industry, almost all "Oshi no Ko" dark situations are also very much common there. And some those idol groups, its common for idol as young as 16 years old to be part of idol industries. They started young and being trained. and the training is brutal as well. And since K-pop is the worldwide now, you can check all controversies and issues that are fairly recent and very easy to look up for resources and references.
For example, few idols has committed suicides, and all of them were closed friends (I won't give out a name, but I just hoping no more please)
There are few more Aqua&Ruby's "dad" similar stories, such as, There is one influencer that has been sleeping many girls, and also gaslighting them when those girls learned that he has been giving STD towards these girls, and he will continue to do so for the next victim. This guy used to be in alot host shows, has been doin charity talks, reality shows... He is young and very charismatic, with so many girl fans. Those victims were having hard times to expose him, since, majority of k-fans were defending him, (and his PR team made it worst too), so they used legal way to handle this issue. This case might took awhile to be settled, but the guy finally landed in jail. This is not the first time things happened, and there are many more stories, some worst and creepy.
For stalkers: Sasaeng fan 사생팬 You can check the interview of one of them in RUclips.
For "purity": And yeah all those big names k-idol groups, have a contract on NOT to date anyone. So for those who has been exposed for dating, basically mean they are also breaking the contract, which mean, is really a big problem. and they usually being adviced to do media conferences just to apologize that they are dating (Notes: They have huge issues with bullies and cyberbullies, so you can already guess what happened next)
Of course, every entertainment industry have their own ugly dark sides of its truth: Streamers, Vtubers, heck, even in Hollywoods too.
Korean industries are just one of them.
But since they are the top no.1 worldwide popular now, these facts are just open secret, and many of similar cases that being mentioned in "Oshi no Ko" are fairly new and easy to look up for research (to see more reality of "Oshi no Ko", kpop world are just the easiest to find for real world case references (if you are willing to see more triggering stories)
Being an idol is one of the toughest job on the planet. Being a korean idol is like playing on hard mode, but with one hand and also blindfolded.
If you compare JP and KR you will see the difference of level with the choreography, you will also see the amount of plastic they have on their face and body. KR is obsessed with absolute perfection to the point that the "talents" are 0% human.
Wait, who was that guy giving STDs?! Any hints or just namedrop please?
@@jrmy__ I wont give a name. But heres hint that just a direct clue: An influencer that was well known as a hot doctor lol I remember people believing his bad takes on vitamin c supplements.

As with any job you have leeches who make things difficult. As expensive as concert tickets are about 80% of that goes to crew, transportation, venue rental, security, staff, ticketmaster ‘convenience’ fee etc. and the band doesn’t get much in retrospect.
"The only ones who truly care about you are the ones around you"
Many recent news stories have stories of celebrities we thought were just a happy person, all of a sudden die without warning due to suicide.
It is heartbreaking.
7:16 As fans, I think there Is a line on hating your oshi because she "hurt your feelings" before It's going too far. That line (for me) Is KILLING your Oshi because she "betrayed". It's SO MOTHERFUCKING STUPID that SOME MOTHERFUCKING FAN IS WILLING TO HIS OSHI Because he found out that she has kids. At that point YOU need to think to yourself " how much of a Degenerate I become to think that" and that you should probly leave the fandom for a while.
In my country people dont give a shit about personal life of idol . as long as they dont cross the line of being an asshole . whoever they date or married with or heck even being a single mom ( a bit scandal ) people really leave them alone . i think the idol industry in korea and japan is really toxic there ( even my country have some what the same culture like them china - viet nam - korea - japan )
The dark side of Japan lol. Sucks to live there.

I read this whole manga in a day after I watched the first episode. like a 24hour day with intermittent sleep where I dreamed about random continuations about it because I had just read about it for 10+ hours before I slept, but I was so into it that when I woke up I'd go back to read it.
People think the Akane arc was inspired by the Hana Kimura case, which made me even sadder. :(

@@mahogania5536 he does have one of the funniest lines in the entire manga from what I can recall
Against all odds this is one of my favorite manga. I love the dark tone hidden behind a sheet of wholesomeness and how it takes a peek at real life things within a story. It does while still juggling some great characters. The only reason this manga is pretty low on my top ones is because it gives a few too many exposition dumps. Regardless I am extremely excited for his next manga coming out next week.
But those expositions are not wasteful. If you paid attention, there are plenty hidden clues in those expositions.
@@nurlindafsihotang49 I know, I just didn’t enjoy reading the expositions. I never thought they were wasteful just… kinda dull.
Oh, man. We're in for a wild anime season.
I know Aka sensei making two amazing series simultaneously is an incredible feat, but it shouldn't be encouraged so much like this. I don't know how he's able to handle it without the stress and overwork killing them. I know Mengo sensei handles the art for Oshi no Ko, but still that doesn't make writing for a manga series any less stressful.
Okay, 5 minutes in, and I'm hooked and intrigued, going to have to go and start reading.
I've been seeing a lot of videos like this pop up since the show aired and every time I do I can't help but think of the same question over and over again.
Have people just forgotten about the absolute cesspit that is Hollywood and the western media scene?
Honnestly entertainment media in general seems to bring out the worst in some people.
That's probably because when it comes to Eastern entertainment industry, it's more jarring because of the culture around it especially with how collectivist it can be, I mean you need not look further that the fan culture over there basically has them entitled to their idols, completely forgetting the fact they're just like the rest of us: human beings.
At least over there in the other side, people aren't entitled to their celebrities *as much* and discussions about their day to day life and whatnot is just that. People shit on a Kardashian then just move on with their day and vice versa lol. It's definitely more of a cultural thing than anything, but you're right that the entertainment industry's still pretty much a godawful place to be going into regardless of where it is.
Pls upload more oshi no ko manga content
This series is literally the phrase "nothing is true everything is permitted"
I actually cried on the first episode. Im not ready for this.
This anime remains me of how celebrities have their struggles with their own mortality as us.
And how aholes that are obsessed with them deserve to go to insanely asylum or be pop in the head
Not that I like being “that person”, but I feel like clarification is important here. Overall, great video, but one minor mistake you made was referring to Oshi no Ko as an isekai. Isekai is a Japanese word meaning “another world”, and the term refers to stories that take place when the main character is transported to a world different from the one they are used to. This doesn’t happen in Oshi no Ko. It’s just a reincarnation story (among various other things), but it still takes place in one world that is representative of the real world.

I read the entire thing overnight cus it was so good i couldn't stop reading it
When I first saw kana here, I only saw her as a floor licker because of the memes of the character, but after this, I’m starting to see a different person in kana. One I didn’t think of before and now I think kana is more than just a memable character, she’s much more of an important support character in the anime
Well, I just found out the whole reason the author killed Ai off was because he's couldn't figure out how to write the story around such a powerful character. While I get it, Ai seemed too perfect. I feel it. It could've worked.
I would've had Ai navigate the entertainment industry while shielding her children from the harsh realities of fame. All the while, she must also deal with the pressure of keeping up appearances and maintaining her image as a successful actor. The children face their own challenges as they try to break into the industry without revealing their true identities.
As the story progresses, the Ai could realizes that she can not keep her children hidden forever. She must make a choice between her career and her children's dreams. The climax of the story comes when she decides to reveal their identities to the world. It is a risky move that could either make or break their careers.
I dont see how Aquamarine is a stupid name. In fact i think its cool. Way better than the generic Bob or John.
I made a whole plan about trying to save Ai

I haven't still watched the video because of that 😂
thank you for the warning please everyone thumbs up! I want to stay poor from outside source I should stop searching videos related to this anime ;-;
@@TheDragonfriday it's fucking obvious when it's a video about the manga
How dare you use that fond in your thumbnail! I though SuperEyePatchWolf has risen again! 😂
btw until what chapters this video spoil?
it looks alright.
FFS, why would you not take advantage of your old life's medical training to become a child prodigy and Doogie Howser your way into a well-paying career in your teens? You'd have a heck of a lot more freedom of action and money to pursue this mystery you're trying to solve. You'd also wind up being as famous as any flash-in-the-pan pop star.
That's assuming you even came through your second infancy sane. Can you imagine the horror of spending years in a body whose nervous system isn't developed enough to give you control over your body functions? Can't walk, talk, and going by what puberty felt like I bet the rapid growth a baby goes through is a constant source of pain as your bones lengthen and tissues expand. An adult intelligence stuck in that situation would be looking at years in hell worse than any late-life decline.
If you don't want to explore that sort of thing in your story, don't put your character in that kind of situation. Find another way to handle your body-hopping instead of handwaving it away.
The whole point of him being reincarnated as Ai’s child isn’t anything to do with the logistics of the reincarnation trope. The point is to show the difference between fan’s admiration and parasocial relationship with an idol vs real affection toward a person you know and love. Also, being a prodigy as a kid would’ve brought more attention to the family and increase the chances of Ai’s motherhood being discovered by the media
@@Clxmntiine Then why include the reincarnation body-hopping nonsense at all? It's a pointless, intrusive storytelling choice that weakens the very real points that you say are intended to be the point of the work by inserting meaningless fantasy elements. It's as though a writer tried to do Grave of the Fireflies and random stuck a kaiju attack into the background.
Anime is called Lewd and looked down by many for a reason. And those who love anime act baffled at this this attitude.
Because, that attitude is thoughtless and disregards a ton of anime that are not lewd. That's like disregarding every novel as porn because romance novels exist.

Oshi no Ko did a good job to portray the struggles of teen pregnancy. It wasn't all rainbow and happines for Ai. She struggled to make a living for herself and her children before getting famous, her ex-boyfriend didn't support her or the children in any way, and she ultimately died just because she choose to keep her kids. Even Ai was one of the lucky one. There are many, many teenage girls out there that weren't as fortunate as Ai that have big incomes & a support system that helped her to raise her children. Teenage pregnancy is real problem whether you dislike it or not.
@@kazuhabruhkaedahara4329 all that for defending her being a hoe lol who cares she dead anyways and i said that 1 month ago when I cared
Spoiler timestamp skips 20 minutes of the video lol
Overhyped.
AH HUMAN
Oshi no Ko isn't about the dark side of Japanese media at all. It's about Teen drama lol. It's all the author really knows. The media stuff is really shallow.
Just on a quick note, its not a dam isekai
Sorry but these stories never sit well with me. I have been in that place and i have never forgiven myself for the unbelievable stupidity of assigning value to my own life based on the whims and opinions of society around me. Its.... stupid to the point of natural selection. Literal darwinism.
You are putting yourself in a place of complete self destruction because you put SO MUCH value to the comments of random nick names online that might not even be a real person for all intents and purposes.
Its... just no. If you can empathize with such stories, then you should definitely have a moment of proper thought about who you are as a person and what your values are, cause something, somewhere, is very misplaced inside of you.
Emotions are not meant to control you to this extent.
If something bad coming at ya . just consider it as worth fighting for or not ? If the people u are facing are not worth talking to then just let it go and ignore it :x .
The entire show is one giant strawman.
Strawhat luffy ?
i remember a time when people getting "hurt" online was a meme
people are so weak nowadays.. pathetic.
Opinions about yourself can be harmful. Not everyone can ignore hate and It’s okay to be compassionate towards these people.
It’s unrealistic but maybe people should just be kind to one another. 🐟
@@laneyclair those people are weak and in nature would die. thus by helping them it weakens the gene pool and makes life worst for everyone else who is forced to carry them.
I cheat on my girlfriend and lie about it, lying is my form of love. I dont want to see her get hurt
No it's not. Stop lying you piece of crap.
While you cheat knowing full well it would hurt her. 😹
@@nurlindafsihotang49 what she doesn't know won't hurt her, thats my love towards her
I hope this is sarcastic 😀
@@DanielRodriguez-zi9qe
Give me your GF social account and I will tell her myself about your pathetic crimes. Unless you man up and confess your secrets to her.
Don’t think karma won’t kick you in the @ss
I want to like this work, but I just can't feel bad for anything bad that happens to most of characters. Honestly the author is putting in his radical femenist views too much and the message feels more like "women shouldn't be held responsible for their actions" than "treat women with respect".
Gender doesn’t make it any less of what people gone through. Larkin Pink singer Chester died from suicide, Stephanie Adams and her murder suicide happened 2018, Desmond Amofah, aka Etika 2019.
We should not categorize people as who suffered the most from each other but understand how struggling is essentially what we all gone through
@@metal_fusion Yeah I get that crazy fans are crazy, but maybe, like, stop pandering to crazy fans? If you pander to fans who expect you to be a certain way, they're going to be angry if you lie about being how they want you to be. The fans are not entitled to the idol, but the idol is also not entitled to the fans. I feel like this work completely misses that point and portraits all fans as ATMs for companies to exploit for all their worth while also calling them trash.
@@Chestyfriendbecause thats what the real world is like. It revolves around money. You may not want to pander to certain people, but your manager certainly wants to, so off you go!
Also anything and everything has crazy fans, just look at undertale for an example.
What you are saying is "oh what if they did this and that" forgetting that we are talking about REAL things that are portrayed in a very down to earth show. There usually isnt another option.
@@kenlyck1474 There is always another option, that's get a normal job and don't be an idol.
@@Chestyfriend you'd think that but unfortunately some people tunnel visions or trapped themselves into thinking that it's the only thing they know, Humans are illogical, prone to emotional outburst or other things thag hinder logical thought
Watching this, I'm thankful I never had the dream to become any type of celebrity. God, I couldn't bring myself to be a liar my entire life. For someone as unapologetically honest as myself, that would be like hell.
I am also thankful I haven't touched this series since watching the PV & missed out on this toxic messy series completely, no matter how much buzz is out there. I thought it was interesting at first, but turns out is actually just another cringe story. Probably it would be better without that foolish reincarnation cliche
The messy life of celebrities, I have been fed up with them since years ago including the Japanese entertainment culture so the content of this series is no surprise to me on that part. The fanatics, scandals, the role of media, the system, the rules, the role in business, both sides of the curtain...probably everything at this point. I think the people involved in this kind of industry seriously need proper mental health treatment. So many problems, but there's no real problem solving and the people there turn those problems into another type of entertainment instead (like this one)🤦♀
Well, something popular is not as good as it seems. I agree about Kana and I am interested in the mangaka character there because I find him relatable, yet if I want this type of story, better I watch my usual true crime documentary series.
Thanks for the review anyway, it's time-saving.
