The author of Oshi no Ko will make another manga
Author Aka Akasaka, recognized for his successful works on the mangas "Kaguya-sama: Love is War" and "Oshi no Ko," has confirmed that he will begin a new manga series in Young Jump magazine in the spring of 2025. On this occasion, Akasaka will not only return with an original story, but will also have the collaboration of Ajichika, the illustrator of "Record of Ragnarok", as the one in charge of giving artistic life to his next project. The combination between Akasaka's distinctive narrative and Ajichika's style has already generated great expectations among fans of both artists.
The synopsis of the new manga writes: "In a fairytale world, there are always princesses and princes guided by fate." Although this is a brief introduction, it suggests that the manga could explore romantic and fantasy themes, typical of fairy tales, but with the characteristic twist that Akasaka usually imprints on his stories, where relationships and characters always have deeper and more complex dimensions.
The announcement of Akasaka's new project comes at a crucial time, as this week the last chapter of "Oshi no Ko" will be published, a manga that has captured a huge fan base thanks to its innovative mix of dark themes about the Japanese entertainment industry and complex characters. However, the manga's ending has already leaked online, leading to divided reactions among readers. Some fans have expressed notable dissatisfaction with the outcome, criticizing the way in which the final arc developed the narrative and the conflicts of the characters.
For some, this disappointment is familiar, since the last arc of "Kaguya-sama: Love is War" was also criticized at the time by a portion of the community. Fans pointed out that the denouement of "Kaguya-sama" lacked the intensity and depth that characterized the previous stages of the series, suggesting that the last arc was excessively weak compared to the rest of the story. Akasaka's tendency to close his works in a way that divides the audience has generated both debate and expectation, and many wonder if this time he will manage to keep the interest of his readers until the end with his next project.
The announcement of the new manga has generated great expectation among followers, who are impatiently waiting for more details. The combination of a "fairytale" vibe and the unique vision of both creators suggests that this manga will explore romantic themes, conflicts of fate, and possibly unexpected twists that have made Akasaka famous in the manga world.
