In addition to the long-awaited third season of the anime, the release of a new light novel titled "Futari no Etude" has been confirmed, which will delve into the relationship between two of the most important secondary characters of the series: Kana Arima and Akane Kurokawa. According to the official description, this novel will serve as an epilogue to the manga and will address both the actresses' childhood and their relationship after the tragic events of the end of the story:

Kana Arima and Akane Kurokawa were performing an improv as part of rehearsals for the co-starring play they will be performing in next month. It's been a while since the movie "15 Years of Lies," and both have achieved the status of talented young actresses recognized for their ability. However, their relationship remains as conflicted as ever. As a result, what should have been a rehearsal quickly morphed into an exchange of insults.
Despite their worries about the future of the play, they suddenly remember an audition for a certain play that they both faced together in the past. That event was the starting point that marked their relationship and led them to the present. This is the second volume of the novel that explores the past and future of Kana Arima and Akane Kurokawa!

Oshi no Ko will give an epilogue to Kana and Akane

Kana and Akane were rivals on stage and in love, both vying for the attention of Aqua Hoshino, one of the main characters. While Kana is characterized by being direct and explosive, Akane is more reserved and calculating, which created a dynamic full of tensions and misunderstandings throughout the manga. Although the latest chapters of "Oshi no Ko" suggest that the two managed to put their differences behind them and become friends, Futari no Etude explores how these two talented actresses are still working to build a stronger and more authentic relationship.

The novel is set after the final events of the manga, in which Aqua sacrifices her life by confronting her father and her mother's murderer, Hikaru Kamiki. His death left a deep mark on all the characters, especially Kana and Akane. Kana, devastated that she did not confess her feelings for Aqua, starred in an emotional scene at her funeral, while Akane faced her grief more introspectively. Despite their differences, the two are seen together supporting Aqua's sister Ruby in her return to the stage in the final chapter of the manga. However, Futari no Etude confirms that their relationship still needs work.

This epilogue promises to give fans the emotional closure that was missing in the manga, delving into the development of these two actresses and consolidating them as friends, now that they are no longer competing for Aqua. "Futari no Etude" is not only an opportunity to relive the charm of this series, but also to explore one of the most complex and emotional relationships in manga. It will undoubtedly be a must-see addition for fans looking for more of this dark and fascinating world.
