Reviews

[Sarah ♡ (let’s interact!)]

Oshi No Ko truly has my heart, this is such a good series! This volume is the Tokyo Blade stage production arc - where the main characters show off their acting skills, even if they themselves don’t believe themselves to be good actors. Can they overcome their personal setbacks?
We, heartbreakingly, see more of Aqua’s PTSD flashbacks to his Mother (Ai)’s death; the more he dwells on the past, the more he wants to avenge her by taking down an important person in the entertainment industry, who he blames for her death.

"The actor who's written off as lousy - If they start doing something completely epic out of nowhere, it's dynamite."
"As the opening day approaches, Aqua's stage debut is marred by the trauma of his past. If he can't draw upon his own emotions, he won't be able to deliver the performance that the newly edited script requires.
As onstage factions fracture the cast, he and Akane put in hours of extra work to ensure they don't disappoint the audience-or lose to Kana and the top actor of Theater Lalalai!"

5 stars

akane is too smart for her own good

also, i need to see aqua's part in the play. it better be something cool in the next chapters, or all the build up with the rehearsals would have been for nothing

[Dandy ˙ᵕ˙]

akane and kanas whole thing is so dramatic and im lowkey over it
i hope akane gets written out soon ngl the girlfriend thing is #ANNOYING and #WEIRD

༘⋆𐙚｡⋆˚₊‧ ✩ °｡⋆⸜ 🎀₊˚⊹

while i love her depth and complexity, akane isn’t my cup of tea. idk the way she seems to always have to be someone else is kind of weird. i’m rooting for kana x aqua too, i hope they’re endgame 😭 i wanna see more of ruby and i hope aqua gets tokyo blade screentime in the next volume! ✧₊˚ ♡🌸₊ ⊹ 🫧⋆𐙚₊˚

[Molin]

The love triangle pacing is too slow. I don't really like Akane tho, she's always want to be like someone else/?idk. She's giving yandere vibe for me

[poet]

I kind of love this twist to Aqua as a character here. It's cool to have a protagonist who is a person.

[nympheasra]

Franchement je me fais chier vivement le prochain arc

[AliRu179]

Niesamowite 💖 Bardzo w tej części widać to, jak postaci się zmieniają pod wpływem pewnych wydarzeń. Ale nie są to nachalne zmiany, wszystko jest płynne i do siebie pasuje

Ganda ng Tokyo Blade arc 🥹🥹🥹

[sof (florence welch’s version)]

kana baby I love you but akane im rooting for you, you completely unhinged girl pop off.
also melt is now my little wet kitten I want to put him in the microwave

[brookie the cookie]

first of all, to continue my anime/manga tangent from volume 5...

i will say that the manga actually revealed a couple details that weren't included in the anime o.O

for example, here we get to see that the director was hesitant about akane being aqua's girlfriend because he was thinking of kana. that thought bubble just doesn't exist in the anime o.O


and then there's still aqua😭🥺 i still love him so much, but i feel like i'm getting used to his personality (oh no this feels familiar... when has this happened before o.O was it noragami...? oh wait nope it was frieren) inevitable really smhh




the show is really getting along! i liked learning more about melt-san. akane and kana's rivalry is REALLY heating up --



-- but the thing i'm most stressed out is not the theater rivalry but the RELATIONSHIP rivalry and so i'm very worried about how much CLOSER aqua and akane are getting OH MY GOSH😥😥😥




that's about all the time i have I'M TRYING TO CUT DOWN THE AMOUNT OF TIME I SPEND ON THIS THING IN ONE MERE DAY HELP-

[Hoppipolla]

Pues contra todo pronóstico... este ha sido el mejor de los tomos hasta el momento. Se han visto nuevas facetas de Aqua, todos los que odian a Akane o a Kana me parecen unos absolutos anormales y bueno... Al final del tomo decae un poco pero ya digo, el mejor hasta el momento, a ver cómo prosigue la obra.

[James DeSantis]

This wasn't as good as the last volume but still a lot of great parts. Getting to see a throwaway character actually becomes interesting was a nice surprise. His good looks got him far but it doesn't give him respect and he wants that. Also the ending was a great set up.

[Kaya Reads]

The Tokyo Blade arc is getting a bit long to my liking, but can't deny the amount of character development we're getting is very good

[Carys]

kana and akane should kiss. also where is ruby she hasn’t had a prominent role in ages 😟

[Laurianne]

Mon fav pour le moment !!!!!

[Nic]

Oshi No Ko they could never make me hate you

[beya]

This has been a very enjoyable read. I like how the characters aren't just black and white. They're shown to actually realize their mistakes and reflect on them. It's something one can expect from a slice-of-life series, but this ain't one that's why it's cool to see it. So far, I'm enjoying Aqua, Kana, and Akane characterizations.

[Tachan]

Arrivant à ma partie préférée de l’animé, la série, dans le manga aussi, se libère et cela donne une lecture explosive où les âmes se mettent à nu.

La grande représentation de la pièce arrive et nos héros doivent mettre les bouchées doubles pour rendre leur performance la plus inoubliable possible mais aussi se montrer à la hauteur de l’oeuvre. L’autrice nous offre donc un grand tome de jeu d’acteur et adorant cela depuis qu’enfant j’ai découvert Laura ou la passion du théâtre (Glass no Kamen en vo), je ne peux qu’en être ravie.

Se mélangent en plus ici de nombreuses implications personnelles. Il y a Aqua qui doit jongler entre son envie de bien faire son travail et ses angoisses liées au trauma de son enfance. Il y a Akane qui rêve de dépasser son idol de toujours Kana, qu’elle va affronter sur scène. Il y a Kana, qui veut prouver qu’elle n’est pas qu’une ex-enfant star. Et de manière plus inattendue, il y a l’outsider, Melt, qui veut montrer le résultat de ses efforts depuis sa pitoyable performance dans la série où il était avec Kana. Tout ce petit monde a des choses à prouver et c’est ce qui va animer et magnifier ce tome !

La lecture se veut ainsi dynamique, prenante, haletante même parfois. L’autrice gère assez bien les drames de chacun même si elle a une énorme propension à en faire des caisses, ce qui fait qu’elle flirte régulièrement avec la ligne du trop, mais elle retombe toujours sur ses pattes. A l’arrivée du jour J, on est prêt à en prendre plein les yeux et les débuts de la pièce ne nous déçoivent pas. C’est percutant, impactant. On a de grandes performances, des acteurs qui se dépassent et des spectateurs, dont l’autrice du manga et des gens du monde du spectacle, qui sont agréablement surpris. Et ce n’est que le début. Go !

Très bonne mise en bouche pour parachever l’arc de Tokyo Blade, la mise en place avant la première de la pièce est d’une rare efficacité, flirtant avec les drames de chacun mais magnifiant leur envie de se dépasser et de donner la meilleur version d’eux-mêmes sur scène. C’est percutant, prenant, émouvant et on en redemande ! Vivement le bouquet final dans le prochain tome.

This volume of Oshi no Ko really exceeded my expectations because I wasn’t much of a fan of volume 5.

I liked the way we got a deeper understanding of Aqua through Akane’s perspective and finally seeing why he acts the way he does. Akane’s intelligence really showed a lot about herself and what she’s learned from other characters, especially when we learned that her confusion over Kana’s treatment of her as a child pushed her to study psychology and better understand people. Her connecting the clues between Ai and Aqua just made me happy.

This volume did however cause me to dislike Kana more because of the drama between her and Akane and how it all began when they were younger. On top of that, the darker panels throughout the boyfriend-girlfriend chapters created an interest that kept me hooked. I love darker themes in series that are more simple like this and it just mixed perfectly.

Pertunjukan drama teater 2.5 dimensi akhirnya dimulai.Dan yang paling seru tentu saja perform para pemain yang sangat ingin menonjolkan diri juga membuat para penonton terkesima.

Abika sensei, komikus Tokyo Blade ikut menonton walau ada kecemasan kalau-kalau pertunjukannya gagal. Dan ternyata orang nyentrik ini terkagum-kagum.

Cerita tentang kehidupan artis atau seniman atau idol semakin menarik di volume 6. Aqua yang mengalami PTSD krn harus mengeluarkan emosi di drama itu. Membuat arah cerita kembali ke masalah utama. MENCARI DALANG PEMBUNUHAN AI HOSHINO?

siapa pelakunya? Waktu baca di chapter ini sudah mulai mencurigai beberapa orang dewasa di sekitar Aqua Hoshino.

Oh iya yang menarik di volume 6. Balon cerita percakapan lebih sedikit. Pembaca akan menemukan lebih banyak gambar yang bercerita di volume ini.

Semoga ini komik nggak dipanjang-panjangin.

[Vilma Diaz]

This was another good volume. Aqua is working through his PTSD so he can get closer to accomplishing his goal. That his goal is murder is irrelevant (I feel like I should be more concerned for him and that his ultimate goal is murder, but honestly I remember Ai and I'm kind of like, sometimes murder might be the answer). I do hope that he is able to develop a genuine love for acting though. I want him to have gained something after he accomplishes his goal.

We didn't get to see much of Ruby, but she was great in the scenes we did get. And I actually really like Kana, so seeing her rivalry with Akane has been great. Her pettiness (fueled by jealousy - both professional and because of Aqua) is honestly so funny to witness. I can't wait for the next volume, where we'll get to see the conclusion of their battle. I wish them both the best.

[fia]

Seeing Akane act so intensely to beat Kana was interesting, yet for some reason, it’s off-putting. Yes, I understand that Kana, someone that Akane had looked up to only to discover the truth, was rude to her, but this attempt at trying to win against her feels like not being able to give Kana any redemption for her past self. This immature grudge that each other have could easily be solved with a conversation now that both of them are in the same industry and can understand the reasoning behind their actions. I don’t know why Aqua is trying to encourage this fight though.

The art style is definitely interesting now. I know that it’s only for the actors, but this manhwa/webtoon style keeps surprising me every time since it’s so drastically different.

[Bookishrealm]

Okay....

We've deviated from the technical aspects of the play the characters have been working on and now we're really diving into their interpersonal and internal conflicts. I had a couple of issues with this volume. The artwork was great, but there weren't many defining characteristics between the characters so it was hard to tell who was who. Additionally, the pacing was off. I think I was expecting a little more tension and build up. While it was nice to get the background on specific characters, the story felt as though it was losing a little bit of steam. I'm going to continue the series for now, but I'm hoping that we get back to the heart of plot which is Aqua's quest for revenge.

[Greg]

4/5 We continue into the production of the stage play Tokyo Blade but were a lot more focused on the cast this time around. Though Ruby is still mainly missing. I hope they do more with her soon even when the story arc involves her she doesn’t ever seem to be the main focus.

In this volume Aqua struggles with emotional acting when his PTSD from past tragedies haunt him. We also get some great scenes with lesser characters like Melt and a really nice spotlight on the rivalry between Kana and Akane.

The lovely manga artists Yoriko and Abiko on the cover of volume 6.

Ich liebe alles daran! Die Zeichnungen sind so so schön! Die rivalisierenden und dadurch sich anspornenden Charaktere, dass so viele verschiedene Unsicherheiten/Problematiken aufgegriffen werden in der gesamen Reihe, dass man neben des Theaterstücks, verschiedenen Fernseh-Auftritten und Konzerten nicht das Hauptziel aus den Augen verliert... für mich seit langem eine Reihe, die ich nicht aus der Hand legen kann.
Auch vom Cover her ist es meiner Meinung nach sehr ansprechend jedes Mal und die kleinen Autogramme sind eine niedliche Idee!
Für mich ist dieser Manga ein Must-Read, kann ich jedem nur empfehlen <3

[Marianne]

5 stars out of 5 stars! 🤩 Character development is on point! The characters synchronize with the roles they are playing at the theatre! More secrets from Aqua revealed! Interesting dynamics between Aqua and Akane, as well as Akane and Kana!

What I wouldn’t give for another 20 volumes of Oshi No Ko! 😆

We need more of these interesting series from Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari! 😍

[The Book Dragon]

Aqua tries to deal with his trauma while his method actress girlfriend (Akane) pieces together his tragic backstory. She is also actively competing with Kana to be the best actress in their stage play so there's tension on that front. Meanwhile, Melt and Aqua are struggling to find ways to improve their acting and...

I don't know if I'm the only one, but this volume felt really disjointed for some reason. Dunno if it's the book, the gap between volumes, or my own off kilter focus.

[tia and all the books]

Blah. Way too hard to decipher which character is which, who is talking on each panel or if they are just thinking and not talking. Also some parts feel like flashbacks but it is very unclear unless the characters are children in the flashbacks. The overarching plot for the series is not progressing at all which is wildly disappointing. This series had such promise in the first couple of volumes but these last two have been pretty bad.

[Justine]

A very interesting and fun volume. I really liked seeing the one actor really deciding to take his acting seriously and how he was able to resolve it.
My favorite part was being given more insight into the relationship between Akane and Kana. Especially as it focused solely on their connection and not on their relationship with Aqua. It had touches of "never meet your heroes" but I liked that it delved into it more.
