Character 1: Hoshino Ai
An idol who was starting to gain popularity as the absolute center of the up-and-coming idol group "B Komachi", but suddenly stopped activities. The reason for this was that she was secretly pregnant with twins. Although her singing and acting skills were mediocre, she was full of talent for lying as an idol and had great charisma. Having been abandoned by her parents in the past, she dreamed of building a happy family with her children, and even after her return, she was full of vitality and was trying to bring a breath of fresh air to the entertainment industry, but she was murdered by a stalker who knew that she was pregnant and had given birth, and her life came to an end.

However, as he gets to know Ai better as an idol, he feels even more strongly that he wants to support her as a fan, and he decides to fully support her childbirth.

【【Oshi no Ko】】 Character Summary
We have summarized the characters that appear in 【Oshi no Ko】! At first, an idol with intense talent becomes pregnant, and the main character, who is a big fan, is reincarnated as her child! I thought it was a story about the love between a parent and child living in the entertainment industry under special circumstances, but a shocking development that betrayed such expectations was waiting for me. The story is great, but the characters and dialogue surrounding the series are also interesting, so you won't get bored. I think this is a really exciting anime! I definitely want you to watch it!
