Quick Links Summary The hit idol murder-mystery drama, Oshi no Ko, has finally returned for season 2 with a stellar first episode that has perfectly set up all the pieces for its latest story arc. Oshi no Ko's newest season is finally kicking off the 2.5D Stage Play Arc, wherein fans will get to see Aqua, Kana, and Akane partake in a theatrical adaptation of the popular manga Tokyo Blade.
Season 2 of Oshi no Ko is currently listed for 13 episodes, which means it will likely adapt until chapter #80 of the manga. Each episode of the anime is currently adapting around 4 chapters of the manga, which means the second half of season 2 will likely cover the Private arc as well, where the mystery surrounding Aqua and Ruby's reincarnation as well as Ai's murder will deepen even further.
Kana, on the other hand, is given the role of the peppy, energetic Tsurugi, the supporting character to the protagonist Blade, who is played by Taiki Himekawa, a talented stage actor. Despite his disheveled appearance, Taiki takes everyone by surprise at rehearsals with his enigmatic acting and stage presence. Himekawa is seen immersing himself into his character and his passion literally and metaphorically hits everyone watching him in the face, inspiring them to also do their best.
