Aka Akasaka planned to end Oshi no Ko from the beginning

in one interview from Shueisha, mangaka Aka Akasaka said that he had planned the ending for Oshi no Ko from the start of serialization. Unfortunately, fans weren’t too thrilled about how the hit manga ended.

Akasaka said that while he had thought of the ending for Oshi no Ko when he starts drawing, he also “allows” the characters to breathe. He said that his experience of Love is war changed him. Instead of planning everythingHe occasionally changes the story to incorporate new subplots or make certain characters more important. Mem-chofor example, was thought to be much less important than it is now.

Akasaka considers these unexpected changes to be part of the character’s personality, and he wants to become an author who can love and appreciate that. So while he decides what to do Oshi no Ko will end, he wants to draw the manga into a series that treats the characters well. Writers may be familiar with this feeling of a story or characters seeming to have a life of their own.

There are many reasons why the online reaction to Oshi no Ko is largely over negative. Some people have said it feels rush and a lot of plot threads were dropped. This second criticism may stem from Akasaka sticking to a planned ending after implementing character-driven subplots. Others have stated that the ending feels inconsistent with established themes and characterizations, specifically surrounding Ruby.

Now he’s done with Oshi no KoAkasaka plans to take a short break and focus on his life. He mentioned that he wanted to work on the farm for a while. His new manga will be one fantasy comics IN Weekly youth dance and it will begin publishing in spring 2025.
