Such pretty art and covers! It really makes it worth it to have the series physically. Plus the story is very engaging and intriguing. I love Aqua, Ruby, and the rest of the cast. 5 stars.

I think the pacing in this one was much better than the first volume! Can't wait to get the rest in the series!!

It gets dark and emotional, but it gets so much better as the series progresses

Exciting! Aqua and Ruby are getting ready for a new school that has an entertainment department, but Aqua isn't actually focusing on entertainment anymore????
A really good sequel, it brings us to the present while keep some characters from the past like Kana. I don't think we're going to see the interview panels anymore. But my favorite character is still Aqua and I'm curious to see what he's going to find as he looks into AIs past.

The first volume of Oshi No Ko was possibly one of the most incredible openers to a manga series ever. So I didn’t expect the second volume would top that. It, of course, didn’t. But it’s still a solid 4 Star read and has me dying to carry on with this series because I feel like overall it has the potential to be one of my all time favourites.

A decade has passed since the murder of beloved pop idol, Ai Hoshino, by a stalker fan. The murderer has never been caught, the case still unsolved. The story followers her twin children, Ruby and Aqua, who are now of high school age.
This is a tale of reincarnation and of revenge. Ruby wants to follow in her Mother’s footsteps and become an idol in her memory. Aqua has no desire to be in a spotlight, but will he have fame thrust upon him whilst he completes his life mission - to find the person responsible for Ai’s untimely death!

Ooh I think I liked this one even more than volume 1! The story really seems to have found its footing and the path the plot is taking is very intriguing. I feel like the concept and the writing are both unique in a way I haven’t seen before. Will definitely be continuing the series!
