"[Oshi no Ko]" is a popular work based on a manga by Aka Akasaka (story) x Mengo Yokoyari (art), serialized in "Weekly Young Jump" (Shueisha), and has surpassed a cumulative total of 25 million copies in the series worldwide (including digital). The story begins when Goro, working as an obstetrician/gynecologist in a provincial town, is reincarnated as the child of his "oshi" (favorite) idol Ai.

It became a huge topic, sweeping SNS trends with its innovative setting in the entertainment world and shocking developments.
